TIJUANA, Mexico, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The United States closed the San Isidro Point of Entry on the California-Mexico border Sunday, as thousands of migrants traveling in a caravan from Central America arrived.
The migrants were waiting to cross the border when U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced via loudspeaker that the port of entry was closed.
Pandemonium ensued, with many migrants storming through downtown Tijuana, looking for another way over the border. Thousands more people who were marching in support of the caravan added to the confusion in the crowds.
Mexican authorities were overwhelmed. U.S. Navy and CBP helicopters flew overhead.

Doing what, exactly? A show of force that will never be used? Dropping leaflets? Surveillance?
California can’t support its native citizens both economically and environmentally (let alone affordable housing - see San Francisco) how are they supposed to magically take on tens of thousands of illegal immigrants?
(Yeah that’s a rhetorical question I know - the dems don’t care as they’ll make everyone else pay so they can their illegal votes.)
Deploy sniper . Drop a few and they will get the message . GO HOME!
Threat of intimidation - they CAN defend the border by buzzing the crowds that try to storm the walls and also provide lookout if they try to bulb the walls or attack the border guards.
Guess the Invaders found out it’s not business as usual with this President.
kudos to Tijuana Mayor Gastellum who is taking a hard law and order approach, blaming the central government, and NOT blaming Trump!
Correct,
Trump Has This.
I wonder what about stay the hell out that they do not understand. Every one of those people have been offered asylum in Mexico so they are no longer at risk and have zero legal standing to claim they are under any threat.
Ah, yes helicopter rotor wash and sand/dry soil. Very effective when trying to get a closer look to see if everyone is “ok”.
Ya learn a thing or two from 34 years of flying H60’s.
Dispersing the stink cloud?
Thanks. I didn’t think about dropping down low to get a “good look.”
Makes you wonder why they didn’t do this during the eight years of the Obamanation. He would have opened the gates wide for them.
No other president would have taken the bull bt the horns.
According to one of the retired Generals on msnbc this is just a publicity stunt. Actually it is the President doing his job
Obama was importing the very worst of the world. The people Zero brought in believe it’s their God given right to everything we have because we are not the proper religion. They are more then willing to kill for that, in fact it’s a commandment they do so. Could importing nuclear waste be more to toxic? Seeing as how radioactive waste does not reproduce or is consciously plotting to hurt you I’d take the waste first.
Deploy sniper . Drop a few and they will get the message . GO HOME!
Deploy A-10s and AC-130s and it is guaranteed they will get the messages and run home after they get clean drawers ...
They, like most US citizens, are not used to a politician who means what he says.
They probably figured he'd back down, just like everyone else has.
Hmm ...
Politicians are cowards by definition. Thank God we don't have one in the White House now.
