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.

The agents have no choice. When the border is almost compromised, where's the time to separate children from adults in this scenario?

Mexicans have always been flooding into the US since Adam and Eve left the garden.

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.


On Saturday, Trump claimed on his Twitter account that he and the incoming Mexican government agreed to a hold asylum seekers south of the border while their claims were processed in U.S. courts.

Omo no be only Nigerians wan japaaa o..

yen yen yen

This world is supposed to be a simple & fun place.......but we humans make life so complex for ourselves......greed & selfishness is the bottom line of all these....greedy & selfish leaders everywhere...!

I am with Trump 100% on this one. Strangers cannot come to my house and attempt to climb my wall. I will shoot everyone at sight with deadly force.

This is a President that knows what it means to secure his country's territorial integrity. Not our lifeless one here who was busy talking about next level with service chiefs in Abuja while Boko Haram had invaded our NE border and killed more than 100 soldiers at once.

Nonsense.

Chase them out!

If they can't fix their country, dem manage am like that.

Which hell? Mexico say they are ready to assist them to settle there. They refused. Instead they continued to go and attempt to break down the wall of a country? The United states for that matter. Is that not madness?

Why can't these people use their energy to fight their government instead of causing nuisance in another man's land. Why can't they initiate revolution to force a change in their country. They are lucky america try to respect human rights, they should try this stunt at Chinese or Russian border and see if they will live to tell the story.

Exactly.

@ whitebeard let me explain the situation to you. Imagine your house where you live with your family. One afternoon you see 10 people outside your fence saying they want to live in your compound. That you have light and food and your doctors ckmento see you at home. They want what you have and have worked hard to get. Trying to jump over your fence.

Imagine your wife and kids scared what will you do.

That his Exactly what these people are trying to do by entering America by force. As saintp said try it with Russia or China.

It would be littered corpses by the fence.
