Summary
DHS Claims Migrants Used Women and Children As Human Shields while storming the US border. These claims may be hyperbolic but we have also heard from CBP that they have witnessed things that corroborate these claims.
DHS reported weeks ago that the migrant caravan was mostly men and was putting women and children in front of the group for good press, they also said the group would try to rush the border. Most of the claims, while maybe hyperbolic, have been proven or corroborated to some extent.
We now have more evidence as MSNBC reports the caravan is mostly economic migrants and not asylum seekers as many are trying to claim.

| 0:00.0 | Recently we heard from the Department of Homeland Security that migrants in the caravan that were storming the US border were mostly men and they were using women and children as human shields. |
| 0:09.0 | Now that rhetoric may be hyperbolic but we have heard from Border Patrol that women and children were seen standing in front of men who were throwing rocks, whether or not you believe that was intentional, well the Department of Homeland Security believes it is. |
| 0:21.0 | I'm getting sick and tired of the conspiracy theories. People on the left telling me that my video yesterday was fake news and that I'm lying because I presented numerous sources showing that many of the people who are at the border who are storming the border are not asylum seekers. Why? Because the people seeking asylum actually applied in Mexico. |
| 0:40.0 | Because they are good people who need help who have accepted aid from Mexico. And we are also learning from MSNBC that most of the people are men who are not seeking asylum. It is not a conspiracy. Homeland Security isn't lying. Border Patrol isn't lying. MSNBC and CNN are not lying. These are the facts. They are mostly men who are rushing news boards who are today. Let's take a look at the latest update and see what MSNBC and CNN said about what's actually going on at the border. |

| 1:21.0 | CNN starts with a critical approach to Trump's claim about grabbers grabbing children. With the story, Trump claims migrants grab children to cross southern border for favored status. |
| 1:31.0 | Trump, speaking at a roundtable event in Balox, Mississippi, described what he called grabbers, migrants who grab children and think they'll have a certain status by having a child. He alluded to people with children in the group as possibly not being their parents. In some cases, you know they're not the parents the president said. These are people they call them grabbers. They grab a child because they think they'll have a certain status by having a child, you know. You have certain advantages in terms of our crazy laws that frankly Congress should be changing. They say, when asked for evidence of his claim by reporters, Trump demurred. |
| 2:00.0 | It's a term that's used because as you know many people, it's a very violent horrible thing that they feel they have an advantage when they're with a young child and they call them grabbers, he said. CNN says, the term grabber has not been widely used. And that's true, but just because it's not mainstream doesn't mean the term doesn't exist, though I do think it's fair to criticize. |
| 2:20.0 | But the reason I think it's important to bring this up is that it plays into the idea of human shields. |
| 2:25.0 | An Estatement Monday night Homeland Security Secretary Kirsten Nielsen said some members of the group are using women and children as human shields. |
| 2:33.0 | The caravan members are predominantly male. 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. |
| 2:43.0 | They are being put at risk by the caravan organizers as we saw at the Mexico Guatemala border. This is putting vulnerable people in harm's way. |
| 2:51.0 | Customs and border protection commissioner Kevin McElinan told Chris Cuomo on CNN's Cuomo Primetime that the border patrol chief on the scene said he had seen women and children standing in front of a group that was throwing rocks. |
| 3:03.0 | He saw people throwing rocks right next to women and children. They did that actually behind members of the media as well. |
| 3:09.0 | I have seen video of a scene where rock throwers are hiding behind camera people taking photographs of them while they are throwing the rocks so it was a really dynamic challenging situation that our agents tried to resolve as safely as possible and were really successful overall. |
| 3:23.0 | Homeland Security said that there were criminals in the caravan. We know that's true because many people have actually been arrested and many people are going to be deported for committing crimes. |
| 3:31.0 | The media said the group would rush the border. They did. We also heard from a statement from one of the migrants that they were planning on rushing the border. They did. DHS was right. They were right every single time. |
| 3:43.0 | Now I certainly think the Trump administration has been a bit hyperbolic. Maybe human shields is a little bit strong language. But even MSNBC has reported it is mostly men who do not want asylum. |
| 3:55.0 | I want to start by mentioning I'm not a huge fan of using the daily caller as a source. I will comment on their stories in some videos. But they do aggregate an MSNBC report with important information. |
| 4:07.0 | They say MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhl asks shorts to characterize the group of migrants seasoned countered stating, some people look at these images and they listen to the president who says it's not women and children it's stone-cold criminals. |
| 4:17.0 | Give us the profile of who's there mostly and what they're looking for she added. In the video, Swartz explained that there are a lot of families in the inner sanctum of the shelter. But revealed that outside of the tent city there are scores of men trying to cross the border. |
| 4:32.0 | The truth is the majority of the people that are in this caravan especially outside if we can make our way all the way over there will show you the majority of them are men. |
