US Border Patrol shot tear gas and rubber bullets at a group of migrants, including toddlers, as members of the caravan tried to storm the border.

Children were screaming and coughing in the mayhem at the San Ysidro Port of Entry when American agents tried to push the surging Central Americans back.

They started to use crowd control on Sunday afternoon when migrants tried to cut a hole in the concertina wire gap on the Mexican side of the fence.

The tensions prompted US officials to close the crossing between Tijuana and San Diego, stopping thousands of people travelling legitimately between the US and Mexico.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said she would not put up with this 'lawlessness' and threatened harsh punishments on anyone who 'anyone who destroys federal property, endangers our frontline operators, or violates our sovereignty'.

She later added that border personnel were 'struck by projectiles thrown by caravan members'. She condemned those responsible for their 'dangerous' actions that were 'not consistent with peacefully seeking asylum'.

Next time,

they will use more rubber bullets and
riot batons.
It will get real up close and personal.

Water weighs more than 8 pounds per gallon and you want to drop it from helicopters onto people who you will then have to pay for their medical expenses?

Drop it on them on the Mexican side before they hit the fence.

Let Mexico pay their hospital bills!

And when any Mexican police officer or other citizen gets injured they can sue the U.S. for millions.

I really do not care what it takes to stop a MOB of foreigners rushing our border.

Rocks injure people, bullets injure people, machetes injure people, cars injure people...they mow us over on a regular basis. Their diseases injure our citizens. They use those weapons on us all the time.

You attack our border patrol, rush our border...you asked for it...you got it! Use what we have to stop them.

Drop that water before they hit the fence then...whatever it takes.

Load them up and send them home!

This is not asylum, this is an invasion and this is war.
