Mexican Authorities confirm they`ll deport 500 Central
American Caravan people in Tijuana who breached the US Border fence, but were repelled
by tear gas at a wall. After travelling so far tensions are high, logic is
scant and restraint is fraying.

US Border Patrol Agents threw tear gas canisters after
migrants avoided the Bridge crossing on the Mexican side, waded the Tijuana
river, stormed up a bank and forced holes in the wire. The wafting gas affected
many, especially children. US Authorities suspended the San Ysidro pedestrian
and car crossing for a while, until calm was restored. In contrast, five
hundred of the migrants applied legally. But there are more than ten times that
amount on the Mexican side with US Authorities only processing one hundred
asylum applications per day. helicopters buzzed overhead and heavily armed men
in military fatigues carrying combat rifles could be clearly seen on the US
side of the Border.
US President Donald Trump says it would have been better if
Mexican Authorities hadn`t permitted the migrants to get this far. But Mexican
laws allow asylum seekers temporary permits and rights of passage through their
country, unless they break the law. The current situation is being contained,
but it`s volatile and far from over.
