Last night was a big night on "The Daily Show." Jon Stewart interviewed Hillary Clinton -- nearly getting an answer from her about running for president, and a few great laughs.

But first he examined a major issue at hand: the immigration and humanitarian crisis along our southern border. He aptly explained some of the immigration policy adding to this crisis.

Stewart also gamely took aim at the anti-immigration protesters who are screaming at these children "in a language they don't understand."
