Why the Caravan Matters

The migrant caravan provides a dramatic example illustrating this fundamental conflict. South of the U.S. border is an expanding column of people, marching onward. Eventually they will reach the place where Mexico and the United States meet, and this philosophical conflict will crystallize. Those on one side of the debate will argue that these migrants have a right to enter the United States, irrespective of the laws, customs, or wishes of America. Those on the other side—including the president—will argue the opposite.

The reason that so many people in the media—and Democrats—want the caravan to go away is because this is an issue on which they would rather not reveal which side they're on.
