30 Issues: The Border, the Caravan and President Trump
Washington Post national security reporter Nick Miroff talks about the latest news from the border, plus how the caravan of asylum seekers traveling through Mexico to the U.S. from Central America has become a perfect wedge issue for President Trump ahead of the midterm elections. Plus New York Times reporter Annie Correal calls in to talk about what she's seeing and hearing from migrants as she travels with the caravan through Mexico.
@NickMiroff: Last I checked, the caravan is still over 900 miles away from the border. There's no telling where and when it will arrive at the US border.

Why travel in a massive group?@anniecorreal: Sense that if you're part of such a large group, you're safer from gangs and protected from Mexican immigration authorities. Also avoids high cost of paying smuggler.
