WASHINGTON _ The Mexican government assured the Trump administration it would secure its borders while prioritizing the human rights and protections for children and pregnant members of a migrant caravan heading north. But the message didn't appear to resonate with members of the caravan Thursday who tore down fenced barriers and injured Mexican police in order to make a path for thousands to pour into Mexico.
"Of course, in Mexico we have the rule of law, and we shall apply _ enforce the law, but there will also be a humanitarian way that we will think about the migrant in the first place," Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray told reporters during a visit with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Pompeo traveled to Mexico City on Friday to meet with Mexican officials to find ways to help stop a caravan of thousands of migrants heading to the United States.
