A top United States official confirmed that the migrant caravan is made up mostly of males and that an overwhelming percentage of them wouldn’t qualify for asylum.
“The caravan members are predominately male,” Department of Homeland Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a statement. “It appears in some cases that the limited number of women and children in the caravan are being used by the organizers as ‘human shields’ when they confront law enforcement.”
