6. Do they take it in turns or are they randomly spouting the memes? Where's the proof?

Where are the satellite photos, the independent news reels, the on-the-spot interviews, Mexican official comments confirming, AP/ UPI/ BBC/ Agence France-Presse reports?????

This is like when TLG would post those bogus pictures of his rally attendance which were faked by way of being stolen images of other much larger events.

One consistent feature seems to be the scale of the lie grows with the telling. Another is the lack of meaningful detail like which towns and regions are the individual members of this group leaving to move north, and where exactly are they now? Rep. Miller's claim about a Mexican caravan of 400.000+ people leaving Tapachula, Mexico (estimated pop. 242, 699) proposes that a crowd larger than that entire city left the area.

400,000 people leaving somewhere would create quite a vacuum. They would generate a rather impressive and significant wave of events along the route of march like a Woodstock-sized crowd enveloping towns and villages along the way, or an army. They would quickly consume local resources of food, water, medical services and shelter. There would be reports of such a flood of people inundating the area much as we saw when so many Californians were evacuating to escape the fires earlier this year.
