Michael McCaul calls for bringing back 'Remain in Mexico'-style policy
Reps. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, weigh in on the threat of a government shutdown and the immigration crisis on 'Your World with Neil Cavuto.'
A massive caravan consisting of thousands of migrants making its way to the U.S.-Mexico border will soon be joined by hundreds more who left the southern Mexican city of Tapachula on Sunday.
Reuters reported that the larger caravan, consisting of a reported 7,000 people, is currently stopped just north of Tapachula in the town Huixtla. The group left from Tapachula six days ago and will be joined by the smaller group of what is estimated to consist of "hundreds" of more migrants.
Most of the migrants hail from Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras and Venezuela.
"I think 3.4 months is too long to wait to get a humanitarian visa, to be able to travel through Mexican territory," Selma Alvarez of Venezuela told Reuters.
