In October 2018 , Soros was accused of funding a Central American migrant caravan heading toward America . The theory that Soros was somehow causing Central American migration at the southern US border apparently dates back to late March 2018 , however . The October 2018 strain of the theory has been described to combine anti-semitism , anti-immigrant sentiment and " the specter of powerful foreign agents controlling major world events in pursuit of a hidden agenda " , connecting Soros and other wealthy individuals of Jewish faith or background to the October caravan . Both Cesar Sayoc , the perpetrator of the October 2018 attempted bombings of prominent Democrats , and Robert Bowers , the perpetrator of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting , referred to this conspiracy theory on social media before their crimes
