SNL's Fox News pundits want you terrified of the 'vicious caravan' heading 'straight for you and your grandchildren'

Saturday Night Live took aim in the cold open this week at Fox News' coverage of the migrant caravan making its way through Mexico. Kate McKinnon anchored the segment as Laura Ingraham, reporting on this "vicious caravan of dozens, maybe millions of illegal immigrants" heading "straight for you and your grandchildren."

From fellow Fox talking head Jeannine Pirro (Cecily Strong), Ingraham learns the caravan is chock full of "ISIS" and "Aladdins," who arrived via the "very common direct flight from Iran to Guatemala."

Kenan Thompson also shows up as former Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke, warning that if "these immigrants walk at a normal pace of 300 miles a day, they could be here in time to vote on Election Day."
