MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Migrants traveling by caravan through Mexico in hopes of reaching the United States held a rally in Mexico City on Thursday, demanding that the Mexican government do more to help them.

Led by protesters carrying a banner reading, "To migrate is not a crime, the criminal is a government that represses migrants," the migrants, some with very young children, marched through Mexico City to the government palace and demanded that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's government change its policies.
