In that statement in the White House, President Donald Trump today was forced to admit that he made up the whole middle eastern thing he started:
Politico: Updated 10/23/2018 05:01 PM EDT
President Donald Trump acknowledged on Tuesday that he has "no proof" for his claim that a migrant caravan approaching the U.S. southern border includes "Middle Easterners" but suggested he could eventually back up the assertion.
Trump concedes 'no proof' of Middle Easterners in caravan
Guess CNN/MSNBC and the rest did not check with DHSecurity...
“.@DHSgov can confirm that there are individuals within the caravan who are gang members or have significant criminal histories,” another tweet read. He did not offer more specifics.

The statement by the DHS reinforced an earlier tweet from President Trump, in which he maintained that the caravan included “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners.”

It's a weak statement. But I have no doubts that DHS is providing intelligence from inside these mass refugee migrations..
Five myths about the Honduran caravan debunked
"THE FACTS: The Department of Homeland Security is able to gather biometric data as migrants pass between the borders of Central American countries. A former senior intelligence official who continues to be briefed on current intelligence told NBC News that there is no evidence that any Middle Eastern terrorists are hiding in the caravan."
Heard that BS on NBC news tonight. OBVIOUSLY --- I'll take the SPOKEPERSON for DHS over some unknown "former senior intelligience official".. ESPECIALLY if that unnamed former official is Clapper or Brennan who are the PAYROLL of CNN/MSNBC..
Funny thing about the Intel biz -- you leave for a year and everything you knew is changed. Unless he's talking to DHS --- it really doesn't count. Doubt that the CIA is sending field teams down there. But DHS most certainly is putting people down on those borders.
