The group of some 2,000 Honduran migrants hit the road in Guatemala again Wednesday, hoping to reach the United States despite President Donald Trump's threat to cut off aid to Central American countries that don't stop them. (AP Photo/Moises Castillo)Washington – Trump tweeted Thursday that he wanted “Mexico to stop this onslaught.” He also appeared to threaten a revamped trade deal with Mexico and Canada.

    Trump did not detail his military threat. Earlier this year, some National Guard members were deployed to the border on a limited mission that does not include contact with migrants.

    More than 2,000 Hondurans are in a migrant caravan trying to reach the United States.

    Mexico’s government says migrants with proper documents can enter and those who don’t either have to apply for refugee status or face deportation.

    Who is funding/organizing this?
    Who is paying for food, and basic miscellaneous expenses?
    An undercover reporter should infiltrate and discover what story and expectations this caravan is being fed.
    And who organized for 2000 people to spontaneously meet up and walk 1,000? /500? Miles? (Children and elderly are also making this trek? ).
    Are they sleeping outdoors?
    Who is leading this pack?
    Such obvious questions. IGNORED?
