Migrant Caravan Demands Mexico Provide Them Transportation (Daily Wire)
The massive chain of migrants slowly making its way towards the U.S. southern border, which is still some 1,000 miles north, is now demanding that the Mexican government provide transportation for its estimated 4,000 participants — demands issued amid reports of outbreaks of violence as more groups have forced their way through Mexico’s southern border.
“Worn down from long miles of walking and frustrated by the caravan’s slow progress, some migrants have been dropping out and returning home or applying for protected status in Mexico,” AP reports. “Conscious of that frustration, its representatives demanded ‘safe and dignified’ transportation to the capital Monday after the group arrived in the Oaxaca state town of Niltepec.” [Read More]

The audience gasped and laughed at the comment, as did Hillary herself. [Read More]
