Fox News correspondent: I think that this whole immigrant crisis is manufactured

Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera said the immigration crisis surrounding a Central American caravan traveling to Mexico was “manufactured.”

Rivera sparred with host Sean Hannity on Thursday after saying he thought reports of the caravan had caused an overreaction.

Hannity insisted that migrants “crossed the border, the weak borders, and raped Americans.”

President Trump made a similar claim earlier on Thursday, saying women emigrating from Central America to the U.S. are “raped at levels nobody’s ever seen before.
