Trump flipped the script on the 'caravan'

NY Times:

How the Migrant Caravan Became a Trump Election Strategy

Activists in Honduras hoped the caravan would damage a president they opposed and help migrants. Instead it precipitated a crisis that hurt them and played into President Trump’s hands.
I am curious why they were caught off guard by Trump's reaction.  Illegal immigration has been a winning issue for Trump since he came down the escalator in Trump Tower.  Democrats are on the defensive about it and have tried to avoid comment about the migrants horde approaching the US border.  Democrats see a tactical advantage in using illegals to boost the number of Democrat seats in teh House, but they know voters, in general, oppose their scheme.
