Well, that didn’t take long. Within days of the Democratic Party dominating the midterms, new migrant caravans are already on the move and heading toward the United States. Notably, the southern border states of New Mexico, Arizona, and California will have Democrat trifectas early next year, while in Texas, only the state Senate will be controlled by Republicans.
Hundreds have reportedly joined caravans from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. CNN spoke with multiple migrants, including a Honduran man, who said US authorities had already deported him twice but expressed hope “that everything will improve for us” once Democrats are in control.
Are hundreds of migrants about to prove, rather painfully, that elections have consequences? As writer H.L. Mencken put it: "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
Migrants Not Welcome
Apparently anticipating that a Democratic victory would encourage Central American migrant caravans to head to the United States, the US Embassy in El Salvador warned in an X post that “US immigration laws remain in effect.” “The midterm election results do not represent changes to current immigration policies,” the embassy continued. “The government continues to enforce existing laws and maintains border security as a priority. Inform yourself through official sources.”
Last month, some migrants started traveling north after they learned Democrats were poised to win the midterms — but the Department of Homeland Security quickly shut down any hopes of entering the US, writing on X (translated from Spanish): “There is absolutely ZERO chance this caravan will be allowed into the United States. We will protect our borders — America is a nation, not an economic zone.”
Trump Amnesty?
Reports of the latest migrant caravans come as President Donald Trump floats the possibility of working with Democrats on a deal that some people fear could effectively grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants living in the United States.
"I'd love to do something on immigration," the president said in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired on Sunday. "I think [immigration] both helped and hurt. I think I got an A+ for closing up the border. I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out, but I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that created one violation or breaking of the law — that was that they came into the country illegally."

“[T]here's a large part of the country that think that they should be allowed to stay if they're good people working in a landscaping company or working in a hotel, or doing something, right? And in some cases paying taxes,” The president added, acknowledging that many Americans want all illegal immigrants to be deported, regardless of their individual circumstances.
While the president never explicitly used the word “amnesty,” his remarks implied as much, which angered many of his supporters. During his campaign, Trump vowed to carry out the “largest deportation” operation in American history.
Supporters of Trump’s mass deportation agenda need not panic just yet; the president’s “60 Minutes” interview took place before he appointed Stephen Miller — a notorious immigration hawk — as his new chief of staff.
