Children were screaming and coughing
12:15 p.m.
Central American migrants, mostly men, appear to be trying to breach the border crossing between Tijuana and California.
U.S. Border Patrol helicopters flew low overhead, while U.S. agents held vigil on foot beyond the wire fence. 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.
Trump meanwhile was running his mouth. Of course he was.
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!

The AP 15 minutes later:
Migrants approaching the U.S. border from Mexico have been enveloped with tear gas after a few tried to breach the fence separating the two countries.
U.S. agents shot the gas, according to an Associated Press reporter on the scene. Children were screaming and coughing in the mayhem.
On the U.S. side of the fence, shoppers streamed in and out of an outlet mall.
And Trump played a round of golf.
Mexico should be lobbing tear gas into that outlet mall. See how the U.S. likes having its sovereignty violated.
So, there is, after all, a perpetual motion machine.
