PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
LTC Eugene Chu Actually there is a "Game" Now days where People Post Pictures and People have to Figure Out where It Is. With Google Earth this is Really a Thing.

More context and a question to those who succumb to clickbait in their desire to debunk the established truth:
Bill's September 2021 (note, not an election year) article quote from the same journalist above...
“This situation has completely spiraled out of control. We got here two days ago. It has only gotten significantly worse. Honestly, it’s just stunning to witness what we’re watching here on this river because we’ve been here for two hours now, almost two hours, and this line of people hasn’t stopped.” - https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/09/20/bill_melugin_reports_from_third_world_refugee_camp_in_del_rio_texas.html#!
Bill reporting on the border issues just this last month:
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/12/31/fncs_bill_melugin_over_290000_migrants_encounters_on_us_southern_border_this_month_highest_ever.html
So, the attempt to use Bill Melugin as a champion to debunk the caravan is in itself dis-information. He was correcting the reporting, which is a responsible thing to do (and oh my, it came from your most hated media source... How about that?).
Moving on to the conclusion of ROF's conclusion that these caravans do not exist and that they are not overwhelming our border. First, do you really believe that?
Let's see... Snopes (despite their attempt to play semantics with the word "storm" and the intent of the caravan) admits these caravans exist and are reaching the border. They just tried to spin it by saying they can't confirm the intent was to storm the border... Of course it is! This is evident by the record numbers making their way into this country reported by the DHS.

NBC (2023) - Hardly a Fox News source confirms they are coming...
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/migrant-caravan-heads-us-southern-border-ahead-blinkens-trip-mexico-rcna131192
AP also reports on how AZ had to close border ops down in 2023. Why?
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/us-border-officials-are-closing-remote-arizona-crossing-overwhelming-m-rcna127743
BBS too (2023) - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-67818686
The Guardian (2022) - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/03/migrant-caravan-tapachula-mexico-biden
Reuters (2022) - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/migrant-caravan-mexico-heads-us-border-americas-summit-starts-2022-06-06/
NBC again (2021) - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/border-apprehensions-hit-new-yearly-high-another-migrant-caravan-gathers-n1281995
So again, the video above is not only BS, it is irresponsible. Bill Melugin was not trying to debunk the caravans; he was correcting one specific post from a person with a lot of followers who did not verify his source and information. Maybe the other media sources should take note, to include you and the person who posted/created this video implying the caravans are of no concern and/or do not exist and are only being reported by the GOP to scare us. So, how do we explain NBC, AP, Reuters, BBC, the Guardian, and Snopes (and that was from a very simple search... I could have easily added several more perceived non-right-leaning sources)?
