And the president has seized the opportunity to vilify immigrants, calling the caravan of Central American migrants an 鈥�.鈥�

Hate groups and conservative publications alike have rushed to add their voices to the mass hysteria around the caravan, creating and feeding into the damaging narrative. The far right employs dehumanizing language that frames these asylum seekers as dangerous 鈥渋nvaders.鈥� New York magazine鈥檚 Ed Kilgore in an聽聽published this week noted the rhetoric coming from the president and his supporters echoes , a 1973 racist dystopian novel that depicts France being overrun by non-white immigrants.

The caravan, with migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua, is聽听补苍诲 extreme poverty.

As the CAP report concludes, 鈥淭urning these individuals and families back or actively deporting them to their home countries鈥攕ometimes after first criminally prosecuting them and sentencing them to time in U.S. federal prison鈥攎ay mean returning them to places where they may face persecution, displacement, and, in some cases, even death.鈥�

Anti-caravan rhetoric from Stormfront to the White House

Hate groups including the white supremacist website Stormfront听补苍诲 the anti-immigrant organization Center for Immigration Studies聽(CIS) first took hold of this story in mid-October. On Oct. 13, ominous messages started popping up on Stormfront, such as 鈥淣o More Mr. Nice Guy鈥� accompanied by a picture of migrants.

CIS Director of Policy Studies, Jessica Vaughan, played into the growing hysteria in an Oct. 15 with Breitbart radio, advising Trump to "put pressure on Mexico" to block the caravan.

On Oct. 16, Trump promised to cut funding to Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala if they 鈥渁llow their citizens, or others, to journey鈥� to the U.S. Other nativist groups including NumbersUSA听补苍诲 Federation for American Immigration Reform聽(FAIR) urged Trump to take action that same day. A message on Stormfront called the caravan a 鈥渉orde鈥� of migrants that signals the beginning of 鈥淲W3.鈥�

Unfounded allegations about terrorists in the caravan

Later that afternoon, Trump 聽Jon Karl of ABC News:

You鈥檙e going to find MS-13, you鈥檙e going to find Middle Eastern, you鈥檙e going to find everything. And guess what? We鈥檙e not allowing them in our country. We want safety.鈥�

Antigovernment groups including United Constitutional Patriots and Patriots of the Constitution released a 鈥渃all to arms鈥� on Oct. 22 asking for supporters to show up armed. The two groups claim to be working with the U.S. Border Patrol.

On Oct. 23, Trump admitted there is 鈥� 鈥� of his unknown Middle Easterners claim.

Certainly, they鈥檙e being egged on by the humanitarian groups and even by groups within the United States.鈥�

October 16: with the nativist group NumbersUSA聽wrote, 鈥淩euters reports that the migrants are heading to the U.S. to escape violence in their home country and to seek better work opportunities. They also hope to take advantage of current loopholes in U.S. immigration law that would allow them to gain entry into the U.S. and eventually get work permits.鈥�

Mark Krikorian, executive director of CIS, ,聽said, "There are plenty of ways we can put pressure on these countries. I mean really, what's the point to being a superpower if you can't try to get a tiny little country in your backyard to do what you want."

Former ICE Director, Tom Homan, on Fox News with Laura Ingraham said, "Yeah I think he needs to throw down the gauntlet...the other issue the president needs to be aware about is the remittances...that amounts to billions...when it comes to the caravan the president needs to work with Mexico, Mexico needs to stop them on their southern border..."

A post on聽聽read, 鈥淭his nonwhite horde invasion is happening in the US during a time of 鈥減eace鈥�....unlike the nonwhite hordes who have poured into Europe propelled by the never-ending wars in the Middle East. THIS is WW3鈥� the enemy is using demographic weapons of mass destruction to successfully destroy ALL Aryan homelands from within.鈥�

October 17: President 聽tweeted, 鈥淗ard to believe that with thousands of people from South of the Border, walking unimpeded toward our country in the form of large Caravans, that the Democrats won鈥檛 approve legislation that will allow laws for the protection of our country. Great Midterm issue for Republicans!鈥�

October 21: A post from white nationalist Occidental Dissent聽said, "The Mexicans see this convoy as an opportunity to stick a dagger into the hated White Man from the north 鈥� they鈥檙e only going to use force if they refused to keep on the road towards America."

President 聽tweeted, 鈥淔ull efforts are being made to stop the onslaught of illegal aliens from crossing our Southern Border. People have to apply for asylum in Mexico first, and if they fail to do that, the U.S. will turn them away. The courts are asking the U.S. to do things that are not doable!鈥�

Patrick Casey, executive director of the white nationalist organization, Identity Evropa, in response to a聽Los Angeles Times reporter calling this a 鈥渉umanitarian crisis,鈥� 鈥淭hese people voluntarily embarked on a quest to illegally enter our country 鈥� you鈥檙e just deviously invoking 鈥渉umanity鈥� to further your political aims.鈥�

But even one poison pill is too many in a caravan,鈥� he聽.

President 聽tweeted shortly after, at 8:37 a.m., 鈥淪adly, it looks like Mexico鈥檚 Police and Military are unable to stop the Caravan heading to the Southern Border of the United States. Criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in. I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy (sic). Must change laws!鈥�

Casey in response to Trump, 鈥淢iddle Easterners, eh?鈥� and , 鈥淥ur country is being rendered unrecognizable due to mass immigration, yet NRO pundits worry themselves to death over 'racist' Trump supporters.鈥�

President 聽tweeted, 鈥淕uatemala, Honduras and El Salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the U.S. We will now begin cutting off, or substantially reducing, the massive foreign aid routinely given to them.鈥�

Trump Jon Karl of ABC News, 鈥淵ou know what you should do, Jon? Go into the middle of the caravan, take your cameras, and search. Okay? Search. No, no.
