SAN YSIDRO, Calif. — A group of migrants, some as young as five years old, stood behind a nearly 30-foot tall border fence near San Ysidro , waiting to be picked up by Border Patrol agents on Tuesday.
The action would turn away migrants claiming asylum between the ports of entry after seven consecutive days of more than 2,500 encounters along the southern border. Pinheiro said she believes migrants who try to cross after capacity has been met will not be allowed to be present at ports of entry and will be forced to move between ports of entry.
Pinheiro believes it has the potential to overwhelm Border Patrol - depending on what happens on the Mexican side of the border.
