Border problems escalate

On Sunday, one of those protests, peaceful at first, turned chaotic when several hundred migrants broke away, overwhelming Mexican federal police officers before rushing a border fence and attempting to illegally enter the U.S.

In response, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers shut down both south and northbound traffic at the San Ysidro border crossing south of San Diego for nearly six hours. The closure disrupted one of the busiest border crossings in the world at the tail end of a holiday weekend when border crossings are typically packed with travelers.

CBP officers also fired tear gas after some migrants threw projectiles at them, U.S. officials said.

So the President has offered that we just may need to shut down these border crossings more often or for longer periods of time. Permanently seems a bit drastic, but I certainly the "concept" has been tossed around. 

This, of course, would disrupt normal legal travel between the US and Mexico and likely piss off a lot of people. While my best guess is that many would be pissed at authorities, the Fed, or the President for taking the actions, the problem here is the "caravan". This is the added piece to the puzzle that doesn't otherwise fit. 

I will give credit where credit is due and say that Mexico has been doing their part in keeping events from getting further out of hand. They have been keeping them away from these border crossing areas as much as they can. 

The problem comes from those who are willing to suggest that members of the caravan should circumvent the laws and law enforcement and come across by any means necessary, and then once in America they can seek asylum and just sort of mingle into society.
