It appears the members of the caravan from Central America are growing increasingly frustrated by both the legal entry process and the immigration "organizers" who have herded them to the US-Mexico border. To begin with, dozens of migrants who are disheartened by the slow pace of the formal asylum-seeking process breached the U.S.-Mexico border Monday by scaling a 10-foot metal fence.
