This is exactly what it is: our upholding the law and trying to be fair to those who honestly need refugee status and be fair to those who have waited patiently in line to gain legal entry into the best country on the planet.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials suspended northbound and southbound vehicle and pedestrian crossings at the San Ysidro port of entry, and tear gas needed to be deployed from the U.S. side to keep the migrants from illegally entering the country. This is why they are known as "Border Protection" not "Border Crossing Guards."
Mothers and fathers who selfishly brought their kids along on the journey, had to deal with their yelling and screaming from the mayhem of the alien charge toward America.
But overall, most of the migrants were working-age men who refused job offers in Mexico.
Fox News learned early Sunday via an organization for Pueblo Sin Fronteras, [Town Without Borders], the group helping organize the invasion from Central America, that members of the caravan were planning to attempt crossing the port of entry at San Ysidro later in the day.
Several U.S. Border Patrol helicopters were flying low overhead near the Mexican side of the border.
In anticipation of the planned migrant effort, U.S. authorities said they had deployed additional personnel to the San Ysidro port of entry on Sunday, including Air and Marine agents.
Mexico's incoming government denied reports Saturday that it had struck a deal with the White House to keep asylum-seekers in Mexico while their claims are processed through U.S. immigration courts.
President Trump again threatened to close the entire southern border if no deal could be reached between the two counties.
On Saturday, the first episode of caravan-related violence directed at U.S. authorities was reported by U.S. Border Patrol in Arizona, as a 31-year-old
Honduran genius, who apparently split off from the caravan, threw rocks at agents and at a helicopter after setting a tree on fire.
The prospective deal between the U.S. and Mexico was seen as a way to dissuade thousands of Central American migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S., a process that can take years. The legal requirements for claiming asylum is a tough hurdle to get over and generally requires applicants to show a specific risk of persecution based on factors such as race, nationality, politics or religion.
Trump administration officials views the vast majority of asylum claims as fraudulent or legally insufficient, and are taking measures to reduce the backlog of asylum claims that they say are often used by migrants to gain entry into the U.S. and disappear into the country as their claims are adjudicated.
Early Sunday, Trump wrote on Twitter that it would be "very SMART" for Mexico to "stop the Caravans long before they get to our Southern Border" to avoid future logistics challenges at the border. He did not use his usual exclamation points to make his point.
There were signs last week that Mexico got the president's message. Mexican immigration agents on Wednesday detained almost all of the Central American migrants on a fourth caravan that recently entered Mexico seeking to reach the U.S.
Mexico's National Immigration Institute said that 213 migrants were detained and taken to a processing center. Those found to lack proper documents may face repatriation to their home countries.
Other administration officials sounded notes of optimism despite the apparent confusion on how to handle the migrants.
Liberals say: "Let them all in, unless they plan to vote Republican."
Conservatives say: "Let them follow the laws of our nation and apply for entry the right way."
