"We listened with great interest to the President’s remarks this afternoon. We all take an oath to support and defend the constitution and protect the American people, and that is our first responsibility,” the Democrat Party leaders wrote before turning their attention to the president. “However, President Trump’s words ring hollow until he reverses his statements that condone acts of violence. Time and time again, the President has condoned physical violence and divided Americans with his words and his actions: expressing support for the Congressman who body-slammed a reporter, the neo-Nazis who killed a young woman in Charlottesville, his supporters at rallies who get violent with protestors, dictators around the world who murder their own citizens, and referring to the free press as the enemy of the people.”

Sundance, at Conservative Tree House, is over the moon about V.P. Pence ostensibly "announcing" that the migrant caravan is "financed by Venezuela," which he takes as proof positive that it's "an invasion force being funded by Russia and China." While I don't think people have taken Russian, Chinese and Iranian interest (anybody else remember back when Ahmadinejad was dropping in on Nicaragua?) in this hemisphere seriously enough, that was not my takeaway from the Pence interview.
Venezuelans may not have much money, but the chief honchos have always hoarded enough resources to meddle bigly in their continental neighbors' business. I'm sure they still dream of uniting South America under socialist Venezuelan hegemony, and are perfectly happy to assist fellow travelers with anything that disrupts U.S. interests or politics. This is not to reject the possibility of Chinese & Russian fingerprints out of hand, however.
What I heard in Pence's speech, was some major Republican battleground prep. We've been hearing snippets of it, but not only is he framing both the security and human rights issues as exacerbated, if not created, by a Democrat failure of will, he's also establishing the angle from which future immigration law will be approached. I thought it was so interesting, I transcribed the little video in full. Sorry for the length, but it's a big picture.
Vice President Pence:
What the president of Honduras told me is that [the caravan] was organized by leftist groups in Honduras, financed by Venezuela, and sent north to challenge our sovereignty and challenge our borders. And now it's grown. The President had me reach out to President Hernandez in Honduras, President Morales in Guatemala, we've been working very closely with Mexico; we're going to do everything in our power to prevent this caravan from coming forth and violating our borders.
But ultimately, it is an issue in this election because what human traffickers are doing, what criminal gang members are doing, in this instance, and frankly, in literally every day of the week where they take cash to bring people up the peninsula in the hopes of them either making a claim for asylum or simply crossing our border illegally to be apprehended is they're taking advantage of not only our porous border but loopholes in our laws, our catch and release program, our are all used and exploited by the traffickers who have no regard for human life.
When I spoke to the President of Guatemala, he told me how at that point they were already beginning to bus some people back to Honduras, [the] elderly, vulnerable children who'd simply been left by the side of the road, by the organizers of this caravan. And the truth of the matter is nearly 40 — far beyond this caravan, nearly 40% of young girls that make their way into our country at the hands of human traffickers are sexually abused. We've determined they've been sexually abused on their way north.
It is unconscionable for us to continue to allow this to occur but the way we can end it, as the President has made clear, is to have a Congress that is willing to not only fund a wall, secure our border, but to close the loopholes that human traffickers and violent gang members use to entice people to make the long and dangerous journey up the peninsula. We really do believe that we've got a crisis at our southern border, but the only way we're going to deal with that crisis, in the long term, is by bringing about changes in the law.
I'm not sure I even need to opine on how that frame changes the picture, but I won't try to do it here.

WaPo - They crossed the border illegally, and can’t vote. But they can knock on doors.
"Unable to vote in the presidential election, a group of undocumented immigrants is knocking on doors in Northern Virginia in support of Hillary Clinton "
-----------------
It is hard to believe that President Trump is the one being harassed with phony allegations of foreign meddling.
The problem with a Maxine Waters congress is nothing more will get done. Trump has done so much and just getting started, that I truly don't want to slow it down. Plus the DOJ and FBI will get away with all they have done.
I connected just as he read a big chunk off the teleprompter.
