They are being given support and money from the Hidden Foundations supported by people like Steyer, George Soros, and many others. It has their fingerprints all over the movement.There is no evidence the caravan is being led by anyone other than Hondurans.Louie seems to be the only politician that has any interest in this much asked question right here on USMB!
Who's financing the Honduras migrant caravan of illegal immigrants, with as many as 10,000 snaking their way into illegally entering the U.S.?
Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas has a sensible suggestion for finding out: using the RICO statutes. According to the Washington Examiner, citing Fox News, Gohmert said:
We have got to have the DOJ investigate where the funding is coming from to send these thousands and thousands of people to the U.S. ... You can use RICO to go after them.
The question, which the incurious media show no sign of wanting to answer, is worth asking, given the expense the taxpayers will be saddled with as thousands of them openly climb over border fences, dare border officials to fire on them to stop them, worm their way in through asylum legal maneuvering, or put up big sob stories with photos of mothers and crying children as a means to get in and get the benefit packages. It's a certainty that quite a few will get in, unless President Trump can be genuinely effective at stopping them, and right now that's not a certainty.

Bartolo Fuentes, a former Honduran lawmaker and social activist, originally got the word out to Hondurans, calling them to meet at the San Pedro Sula bus station to leave the country. Guatemalan police arrested Fuentes last week in the middle of a crowd, shortly after Trump threatened to cut off funding to Guatemala and Honduras if they did not stop the caravan. The caravan now continues without Fuentes, with a handful of different leaders making logistical decisions about when to depart each city.
There isn't much required to fund a caravan since the members are walking and have to provide their own food. The Mexican government as well as local governments provides water and some porta potties. However, most of the members have to buy their own food.
The goal of caravan members is to reach the border and plead their case for asylum. Many will cross illegally and face deportation. However, for most caravan members, this is better than remaining in Honduras. Many of those on the caravan will drop out before reaching the border and attempt settle in Mexico.
Mass migrations from central America is nothing new they have been going on since the late 1990's.
