Earlier today, President Trump told Mexico it would be “very SMART” for them to stop the Caravans long before they get to our Southern Border. He also warned the caravans about attempting to illegally cross into the USA, telling them would be “No crossings!”
Would be very SMART if Mexico would stop the Caravans long before they get to our Southern Border, or if originating countries would not let them form (it is a way they get certain people out of their country and dump in U.S. No longer). Dems created this problem. No crossings!

Four days ago, President Trump announced that he’s sending 5,900 active duty troops to defend our southern borders from an invasion by tens of thousands of illegal aliens.
Now, AP is reporting – Hundreds of migrants approaching the U.S. border from Mexico were enveloped with tear gas Sunday after several tried to make it past fencing and wire separating the two countries.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection 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, the group of several hundred 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.
They carried hand-painted American and Honduran flags while chanting: “We are not criminals! We are international workers!”
Migrants were asked by police to turn back toward Mexico.
Around 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.

Breaking 911 is reporting that the port has now been shut down.
Hundreds of migrants were seen rushing the United States border at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego Sunday—the port was promptly closed by U.S. border authorities.
