Media ignores the evidence about the caravan

NY Times:

Trump and G.O.P. Candidates Escalate Race and Fear as Election Ploys

The president’s unsubstantiated charge that “unknown Middle Easterners” were part of the migrant caravan was an escalation of his efforts to stoke fears ahead of the Nov. 6 vote.
Actually, the ports I have seen elsewhere suggest 100 or so Bangladesh citizens are part of the caravan.  Judicial Watch among others has made this claim.  As noted below there is also ample evidence of the violence perpetrated against the Mexican police who tried to stop the caravan and also an alleged robbery of a store along the route.  Sara Carter has more on those other than Central Americans in the caravan.

Elsewhere, the NY Times accuses the President of trying to divide Americans on this issue.  That makes no sense.  It has been an issue with a majority of voters for some time and Trump tapped into it in winning the 2016 election.  Democrats also used to oppose it until they figured out that having several illegals in the US benefits them in adding House seats if the illegals are counted in the census.  That is why they are so adamant in trying to stop the Trump administration from asking the citizenship question on the census questionnaire.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
