Looks like the first of the, "Caravan" has reached the US border. Pedestrian crossings have been shut down in San Ysidro. Migrants rushed the border and got met with tear gas. The whole timeline makes no sense to me. I doubt they could cover the length of Mexico in only a couple of weeks unless they had organized help and vehicles.

US shuts down major San Diego port of entry as migrants rush border; agents shoot tear gas

TIJUANA, Mexico — 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 standing guard near the international border crossing.

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.

Some of the migrants who went forward Sunday called on each other to remain peaceful.

They appeared to easily pass through the Mexican police blockade without using violence.

A second line of Mexican police carrying plastic riot shields stood guard outside a Mexican customs and immigration plaza, where the migrants were headed.

That line of police installed tall steel panels behind them outside the Chaparral crossing on the Mexican side of the border, which completely blocked incoming traffic lanes to Mexico.

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.

Don’t start none, won’t be none. Plain and simple...

And I agree...this “trek” was funded and supported by SOMEONE. No way that a horde that size could cover that distance in that amount of time. Who fed them? How was excrement and urine handled? Too many logistics that just didn’t occur by happenstance...

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Not a whiff of liberal prejudice in that article was there? Roll Eyes

What I got from the article...

1) Mehico isn't doing a thing to stop the migrants.
2) The migrants have no interest in following anything approaching US law.

Flame throwers worked in WWII to remove unwanted enemies from certain areas, I'm sure they'd work again.

You would have a better result in shaming a dog for licking his "rocket" in front of children than these "migrants" being ashamed of exposing kids to anything to fit in with the left's prodding and agenda.

I agree, it’s disgusting and shameful.
