“MSNBC reporter Gadi Schwartz, who is on the ground in Tijuana, Mexico, said Monday [11/26] that most of the caravan members he’s encountered are males.…
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle asked Schwartz to characterize the group of migrants he’s encountered….“Give us the profile of who’s there mostly and what they’re looking for,” Ruhle added.”…

You’re going to see a lot of women and families here but the truth is, the majority of the people that are in this caravan…if we can make our way all the way over there, we’ll show you the majority of them are men.“…@1:15 (Schwartz), “From what we’ve seen, the majority are actually men and some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum. Instead, they have talked about going to the United States for a better life and to find work.“…@1:30 (Schwartz), “This is where there’s a food bank that was set up, and you’ve got a long line of men. Earlier, we saw about 5-600 men standing in line waiting for food.”… (top image is screen shot from MSNBC video)
