CENTRAL AMERICA/IMMIGRATION/MIKE PENCE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump said Wednesday [1-23-19] that ‘Honduras is doing nothing’ to stop migrant caravans from coming toward the US, less than a day after Vice President Mike Pence praised Honduras for its efforts to stop caravans…The President has been a frequent critic of granting foreign aid to Central American countries and has threatened to pull foreign aid to Honduras in response to previous migrant caravans. In Trump’s first two years in office, the administration significantly reeled back foreign aid to those countries…But less than 24 hours earlier, Pence praised Honduras’ efforts to stop the caravan, according to the White House.”
