SAN DIEGO -- Border officials have added razor wire to the top and bottom of the fence near Border Field State Park that divides San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico.

Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Katie Waldman released a few photos showing the newly added measure, installed overnight Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

The move came after people on the Mexican side of the border could be seen climbing the fence Tuesday afternoon after part of the Central American migrant caravan arrived in Tijuana.

The U.S. Border Patrol sent a news release stating it believes some of the people at the fence are from the caravan, which has been traveling through Mexico from Honduras.

“I was watching them put up barbed wire and I saw the humvees and other vehicles and for whatever reason my first immediate thought was Checkpoint Charlie East Berlin,” said Immigrant Rights Activist, Mark Lane.

Mark Lane has been traveling back and forth across the international border to shelters bringing donated items to help the migrants. He says despite the border looking like a war zone, a thousand more people arrived overnight.

He says most of the migrants he's seen are not military aged men, but women and children.

“One of the shelters we work with we just sent two truckloads of stuff to,has 95 people of the 95 people 42 are children. And when I say children I’m talking about little children, I’m talking about babies to ten years old,” said Immigrant Rights Activist, Mark Lane. “It’s ridiculous to have marines, to have barbed wire, to have tanks, Humvees, whatever we’re throwing on the border guns, to greet people fleeing violence? Fleeing for their lives?"

Helicopter video Wednesday morning showed some people still climbing on and around the fence despite the new measure:

Hours after images of migrants climbing a border wall in San Diego went viral, the Homeland Security Department deployed razor wire Wednesday to prevent a repeat.

The immigrants, who said they were the vanguard of the caravans streaming north through Mexico, ascended the fence Tuesday in a display of defiance. Video and photos showed them cheering and jeering atop the slat-style fence.

Although no arrests or confrontations were reported, Homeland Security took immediate steps to try to keep others from climbing by deploying concertina wire, which coils over itself, creating a thorough barrier.

“As we have said repeatedly, being a member of a caravan doesn’t give you any special rights to enter the country,” said Katie Waldman, Homeland Security spokeswoman.

Homeland Security released photos that show the concertina wire at the top and base of the fence on the U.S. side, as well as a second layer on the sandy beach further inside the U.S.

October set all-time records for illegal immigrant children and families attempting to sneak into the U.S., and November could be just as bad, with thousands of people in caravans making their way from Central America through Mexico.

The Trump administration has deployed the military to help harden the infrastructure. The president late last week signed a proclamation triggering a policy that rejects asylum claims from people who jump the border.

That is an attempt to crack down on bogus asylum claims, which have soared over the past five years. Although the claims may not be valid, those who make them are often set free into the U.S. while their cases are processed, and then they disappear into the shadows with other illegal immigrants.

The administration wants people claiming asylum to go to official border crossings, where their cases can be processed better.

Immigrant rights advocates have said that policy is inhumane and illegal. A lawsuit is pending to try to block the asylum crackdown.
