Why Democrats are staying silent about the migrant caravan

Parents caught crossing illegally were separated from their children, and heartbreaking photos of crying toddlers forced President Trump to call a time-out.

Now the Dems are on the defensive as Trump sends the military and a clear message that he will defend America's sovereignty in the face of what he calls an "Invasion."

Four months ago, critics on the left wouldn't shut up about the border and some, like Mayor Bill de Blasio, made grandstanding trips to Texas detention facilities and held press conferences to denounce Trump in the harshest possible language.

Trump's latest wrinkle, a controversial bid to end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants, reveals both his commitment to the issue and the political opportunity he sees.

Trump has targeted the problem from the day he announced his campaign in 2015 and his vow to build a wall is popular with many voters.

Trump got the attention and reaction he wanted, showing again why next Tuesday could be full of surprises.

It's hard to get the upper hand with Trump in a kind of skunk fight.
