Members of the caravan carried hand-painted Honduran flags and chanted "We are not criminals! We are international workers!"
Dozens of Mexican police with riot shields stopped the migrants ahead of the crossing Sunday.
More than 5,000 migrants camped in and around a sports complex in Tijuana after making their way through Mexico.
Many within the caravan plan to apply for asylum and Sunday, marched toward the border to demand their asylum applications be processed.
