Summary

A nearly 8,000-strong migrant caravan is heading toward the U.S. border. The group continued their multi-day march through Mexico as Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in Mexico City to discuss solutions to the ongoing surge in illegal border crossings. In 2023, lawmakers and border communities alike routinely criticized the Biden administration for its struggle to properly maintain and secure the U.S. southern border. FOX News Senior National Correspondent William La Jeunesse has visited the border many times this year and joined the Rundown to break down these migrant talks in Mexico City and the massive migrant caravan advancing towards the United States. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with William La Jeunesse about the chaotic state of the country's border. Learn more about your ad choices.
