I find it amazing, that somewhere between 5K and 10K Hondurans all decided to "immigrate" to the U.S.....ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Trump is 100% right....We can't let them just walk into our country. It's a shame for the children, but their parents should have thought of this BEFORE bringing them clear across Mexico to the U.S. border. Did they think we would just let them walk in unobstructed ??


US Agents Fire Tear Gas as Some Migrants Try to Breach Fence                   By Christopher Sherman

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


U.S. border agents fired tear gas on hundreds of migrants protesting near the border with Mexico on Sunday after some of them attempted to get through the fencing and wire separating the two countries, and American authorities shut down border crossings from the city where thousands are waiting to apply for asylum.

The situation devolved after the group began a peaceful march to appeal for the U.S. to speed processing of asylum claims for Central American migrants marooned in Tijuana.

They carried hand-painted American and Honduran flags while chanting: "We are not criminals! We are international workers!"

Mexican police had kept them from walking over a bridge leading to the Mexican port of entry, but the migrants pushed past officers to walk across the Tijuana River below the bridge. More police carrying plastic riot shields were on the other side, but migrants walked along the river to an area where only an earthen levee and concertina wire separated them from U.S. Border Patrol agents.

Some saw an opportunity to breach the crossing.

An Associated Press reporter saw U.S. agents shoot several rounds of tear gas after some migrants attempted to penetrate several points along the border. Mexico's Milenio TV showed images of migrants climbing over fences and peeling back metal sheeting to enter.
