Mexico will deport almost 500 migrants who attempted to storm the US border, according to its interior ministry.
The group were rounded up after trying to cross the border "violently" and "illegally" on Sunday, the ministry said in a statement.
Video footage shows dozens of people - including women and children - running towards the fence that separates the two countries near the city of Tijuana.
They were repelled by tear gas used by US border officers.
Mexico's interior ministry said all those who were identified as having tried to cross would be deported immediately.
It added that, "far from helping their objectives", the migrants' actions had violated the legal migration framework and could have led to a "serious incident".

As a result of Sunday's action, the US has also closed the border crossing near the Mexican border city of Tijuana to vehicles and pedestrians.
Mr Trump threatened to close the entire US-Mexico border earlier this week if it was felt the US was going to "lose control" of the situation.
He also said he had given troops at the border the go-ahead to use lethal force if needed.
Mr Trump has deployed about 5,800 troops to the border. He previously described the migrants as an "invasion".

The art of the deal!
WINNING!
“and who will sign an agreement that they and their families will neither apply for nor utilize public assistance the first five years here as legal immigrants ...”
And make sure they don’t. As it is right now, social services is told to NOT ask if they are citizens. They need to be required to have proof, put in the database, and checked for compliance.
I KNOW!!
Saw it on the news a while ago!!!
Do I need a sarc tag?
Truthfully Im not sure how Trump should handle this. Seems like hes screwed any way he goes. He wont ever get any clean reporting from the news. The Democrats line up every day to blast him. The Republicans in Congress are no help because they want open borders too. We are losing our country.
That’s “President Trump” to you, BBC.
Mexico understands what the USA doesn’t.
These people are NOT our friends.
He’s handling it the only way he can and it’s working to a degree. Right now it’s costing Mexico millions and if it goes on much longer it’s going to be billions.
Trump knows this and Mexico obviously knows this and they also realize that Trump is not willing to budge. It is in their best interest to defuse the situation as best they can and deportations are a viable option for them.
Ya, we want to see pics and names of the depordados and watch them piled into southbound buses, including the women and kids.
Any additional Honduran women that use their kids as props or human shields need to be busted for child endangerment and deported.
The pressure will be there for the next 2 years. Other countries will use subterfuge to keep all this going. All the vermin of the world will be lining up against the border. If we do not re-elect DJT we will be overwhelmed with illegals.
I’m savoring every second of Trump’s presidency. God only knows if there’s anyone else with the balls to do this in the future. Winning.
Imagine how much of Tijuana’s economy comes from orderly access to the US. Shutting the border got their attention. Now think about shutting the entire border. Now think about shutting off money transfers.
We have all the cards, and the POTUS knows how to play them.
Exactly
On the other hand, closed borders do not make the businesses on our side happy either if they loose employees and customers.
What about mans latest invention, the surveillance camera and closed circuit TV.
But it seems more lip service than likelihood, given the photographs and video are all that Mex has to go on, given most of these pendejos are intentionally paperless -- other than the fake papers given to them by their puppet masters.
The problem about the Repubs. in Congress is that a lot of businessmen are Republican voters. While we do end up paying some illegals benefits, there are many who actually do work and usually under minimum wage so the bosses don’t report them and get them deported. This is especially true now with unemployment down quite low, and a fair number of citizens getting benefits not willing to go back to work and stop getting such things as Supplemental Social Security payments because they have a relatively minor disability, and at the time they got it employers were NOT likely to be in the mood to tailor jobs to some degree of disability. In our tighter market I think more bosses might be willing to make some accommodations, say for example someone who has a bum knee, whom they previously would not allow to sit and work.
Useful, but not 100%. Are they going to go into the shelter stadium and pick these guys out from a cast of thousands based on video?
Borders, language, culture. Quoted, what, 20 years ago?
