To be honest I don't know the answer to the question: Is Jim McGovern The Mastermind behind the caravan? However, I do think that it is a question that needs to be asked and investigated. McGovern was in Honduras just weeks before the migrant caravan formed supposedly on a fact finding mission, and has participated in several other questionable activities. While that alone is suspicious there are other things connected to Jim McGovern that raise concerns. While I am not one to spread conspiracy theories I do think that the Senate should ask Jim McGovern to explain himself.
Aside from being in Honduras just a few days before reuters reported that the migrant caravan was forming Rep. Jim McGovern has been very outspoken against any kind of immigration enforcement.
Jim McGovern has even called for the abolition of ICE, Immigration Control Enforcement.

Even though ICE has worked closely in his state of Massachusetts to brings serious criminal offenders to justice, meaning criminals guilty of rape and assault, Jim McGovern condemned those efforts.
ICE works with Massachusetts sherriff to arrest criminal aliens.

It is not the first time that Representative Jim McGovern's visits to countries south of our border have coincided with attempts at mass immigration. In 2014 made a trip to Mexico that coincided suspiciously close to 2014 US immigration crisis that resulted in mass detention centers to deal with the shear numbers that were showing up at the border. Former President Obama was forced to send troops to the border to respond. Later Jim McGovern visited the detention centers where the immigrants were housed.

With all of these fact finding missions and trips south of the border where are the reports which describe the findings?
Is it a coincidence that Boston is discussing giving voting rights to none citizens according to CBS local news source?

So as you can see Jim McGovern was in Mexico in early August, an immigration crisis started a short time after he left, it was serious enough that troops were deployed and temporary detention centers had to be built on the border, and it all happened just a short time before the 2014 midterm elections. How is that for a coincidence?
This isn't the only suspicious activity associated with this congressman. It is a little known fact that between 1979 (when he made his first trip) and the present; Rep. Jim McGovern has made 16 different trips to Cuba where he has met with the communist leader Fidel Castro. https://worcester.ma/2016/04/rep-jim-mcgovern-revels-in-cuban-presidential-visit/
Hypocritically he was one of the most outspoken members of Congress speaking out against President Trump's efforts to make peace with North Korea. It is enough to make you question who's side Jim McGovern is on.
So to sum up we have 2 mid term elections in a row the 2014 and the 2018 midterms where Jim McGovern makes trips south of the border in August. Both times an Immigrant crisis is started suspiciously close to the election, and Democrats tried to capitalize on both events to make them look good. If it had only happened once then you could chalk it up to coincidence, but twice? I believe that in the least this warrants an investigation into the activities of Representative Jim McGovern. Please contact your Senator and demand that they investigate.
