TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Migrants approaching the U.S. border from Mexico were enveloped with tear gas Sunday after a few tried to breach the fence separating the two countries.

U.S. agents shot the gas, according to an Associated Press reporter on the scene. Children were screaming and coughing in the mayhem.

Honduran migrant Ana Zuniga, 23, said she saw migrants open a small hole in concertina wire at a gap on the Mexican side of a levee, at which point U.S. agents fired tear gas at them.

"We ran, but when you run the gas asphyxiates you more," she told the AP while cradling her 3-year-old daughter Valery in her arms.

Mexico's Milenio TV also showed images of several migrants at the border trying to jump over the fence. A few yards away on the U.S. side, shoppers streamed in and out of an outlet mall.

U.S. Border Patrol helicopters flew overhead, while U.S. agents held vigil on foot beyond the wire fence in California. The Border Patrol office in San Diego said via Twitter that pedestrian crossings have been suspended at the San Ysidro port of entry at both the East and West facilities. All northbound and southbound traffic was halted.

Earlier Sunday, some Central American migrants pushed past a blockade of Mexican police who were standing guard near the international border crossing. They appeared to easily pass through without using violence, and some of the migrants called on each other to remain peaceful.

A second line of Mexican police carrying plastic riot shields stood guard outside a Mexican customs and immigration plaza.

That line of police had installed tall steel panels behind them outside the Chaparral crossing on the Mexican side of the border.

More than 5,000 migrants have been camped in and around a sports complex in Tijuana after making their way through Mexico in recent weeks via caravan. Many hope to apply for asylum in the U.S., but agents at the San Ysidro entry point are processing fewer than 100 asylum petitions a day.

Irineo Mujica, who has accompanied the migrants for weeks as part of the aid group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, said the aim of Sunday's march toward the U.S. border was to make the migrants' plight more visible to the governments of Mexico and the U.S.

"We can't have all these people here," Mujica told The Associated Press.

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum on Friday declared a humanitarian crisis in his border city of 1.6 million, which he says is struggling to accommodate the crush of migrants.

U.S. closes border at San Isidro as migrant caravan reaches California

By Patrick Timmons



TIJUANA, Mexico, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The United States closed the San Isidro Point of Entry on the California-Mexico border Sunday, as thousands of migrants traveling in a caravan from Central America arrived.

The migrants were waiting to cross the border when U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced via loudspeaker that the port of entry was closed.

Pandemonium ensued, with many migrants storming through downtown Tijuana, looking for another way over the border. Thousands more people who were marching in support of the caravan added to the confusion in the crowds.

Mexican authorities were overwhelmed. U.S. Navy and CBP helicopters flew overhead.

One migrant reported tear gas being thrown by U.S. authorities; wisps of smoke were visible.

Marchers also demonstrated in support of the migrants on the U.S. side of the border, where all southbound lanes into Mexico were closed to vehicles and pedestrians, NBC San Diego reported.

Also waiting to cross the border were lawful travelers attempting to return home from the holiday weekend.
Many in the migrant caravan were parents and children.

The United States said earlier this month it would close northbound border crossings near Tijuana in advance of the caravan's arrival and President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to close the borders.

Nearly 6,000 U.S. troops have been deployed to the Mexico border.

That woman dragging 2 kids through feces infested canal...how many did she leave behind? FOUR?...is she pregnant with number SEVEN? Look at her belly!

Most likely...go home and get on birth control!

DO NOT LET THEM IN...WE DO NOT WANT TO PAY THEIR MEDICAL CARE, WELFARE, FOOD STAMPS, HOUSING OR SCHOOL!

T-shirt and a diaper...what disgusting people to keep having children they cannot provide for! WE are not your baby daddy! We are not your ATM machine!

and therein lies the problem.

Our media will not report on that part.

Our government does not want us to know about that part.

While everyone is distracted with this border rush, many cross in other areas.

Old trick used for hundreds of years, but apparently some still are unaware.

At what age do they potty train their children? Lots of pictures with what appears to be 3 and 4 and ^ still in pampers.

Apparently it is easy to afford pampers for years on that $250.00 a month they make.
