Conflict at the US/Mexico border as migrants from central america arrive seeking entry into the US.

US authorities fired tear gas as migrants rushed toward the border from Tijuana, Mexico and stopped as many as 500 migrants from entering the country illegally.

This comes after thousands of Central American migrants arrived in the Mexican border city of Tijuana in recent weeks, part of caravans that travelled through Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico, largely on foot, seeking asylum from violence in the countries.
