Questions about Caravans

That so called caravan of refugees from Honduras is at the border between Guatemala and Mexico.  If you read the mainstream media, you hear that these are people fleeing from terrible and dangerous conditions in Honduras seeking safety and a better life in the USA.  But there are still questions such as these:

1.  If the caravan is fleeing Honduras, why are they waving Honduran flags?  Why are they celebrating the place that is supposedly so bad that they have been forced to leave?

2.  If these people are seeking entry in the USA, why are they carrying signs denouncing President Trump?  I understand that some may believe he will oppose their entry, but still it seems strange that refugees seeking asylum would insult the leader of the country from which they ask refuge.

3.  If these are actual refugees, why did they attack the Mexican police who barred their entry into Mexico?  Wouldn't it seem more likely that they would stop and attempt to negotiate a peaceful entry or transit through Mexico rather than launch an all out assault on the Mexican police?  And, if these are mostly women and children (as described by the mainstream media), how did they manage to beat up so many of the Mexican police?

4.  Why is it that the timing of the caravan so conveniently lines up with the American elections?  Nothing new happened in Honduras.  Weather conditions are no more favorable than they were three months ago.  Nothing has changed.  So why now?  Is it because the caravan is being supported by American leftist groups in order to make an impact on the election.  Is this just another Democrat ploy like the various smears they launched at Justice Kavanaugh?  While you consider that, remember that one of the men organizing the caravan turned out to be an American Democrat activist who was just arrested in Mexico in connection with the riot/attack against the Mexican police.
