Chaos erupted on the southern border Sunday as tons of of migrants unsuccessfully attempted to enter into america through a crossing that links Mexico and Texas.
US officials were in a position to stop the mass migration effort of individuals, mostly from Venezuela, that broke through Mexican lines to demand asylum within the US. They were met with barbed wire, barriers and shields, which prevented them from crossing over.
The try and enter the US comes after migrants have had trouble securing appointments to hunt asylum using a latest federal government app. Most of the migrants there Sunday had babies with them.
Some migrants tried to interrupt free at one point once they threw an orange, plastic barrier on the US line, in line with Reuters images. Some migrants claimed they were hit with pepper spray to push them back.

“Please, we just need to get in so we may also help our families,” said Camila Paz, an 18-year-old Venezuelan as she sobbed. “So I can have a future and help my family.”
Paz called her situation “horrible, horrible.” She’s been attempting to cross the border for a month and is running out of cash.
The app, called CBP One, has faced glitches and high demand, migrants say, though the US Department of Homeland Security said recent updates to it should speed up the method.
There was pushing and shoving with officials, but the group eventually gave up as some dispersed to the banks for the Rio Grande where Customers and Border Protection agents watched them from the opposite side.
