Dozens of Central Americans are still preparing to scale the border fence from Mexico into the United States, three weeks after the border patrol and US military shut down the crossing between Tijuana in Mexico and San Ysidro in California.
Migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador have been heading northward by the tens of thousands for the past three years, with an increasing number of families with small children and unaccompanied children making the trek and hoping to gain asylum inside the United States.
'We will NOT let these Caravans, which are also made up of some very bad thugs and gang members, into the U.S. Our Border is sacred, must come in legally,' Trump tweeted as they approached the border.

Photographs from Friday show groups of families some with young children and babies, trying their luck before the sun has risen in the hope of successfully entering the US.
Those that get across face arrest. Children are separated from their families and, along with unaccompanied children who enter the country illegally, are sent off to a web of special camps.
They held there until a family member or sponsor already residing in the United States agrees to take care of them.
The sheer volume of undocumented immigrants - which topped 520,000 in fiscal 2018 - has pushed the number of children in the camps to nearly 15,000 currently.
Officials say on average it takes 60 days to resettle them.

The death of a seven-year-old Guatemalan girl last week in the custody of US border agents sparked furor Friday and raised new pressure on the Trump administration's efforts to halt the migration of Central American families.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the December 8 death of the girl, saying she died in an El Paso, Texas hospital less than 24 hours after being detained as part of a group of 163 illegal border crossers in a remote New Mexico border area.
A Guatemalan official identified her as Jackeline Caal, who was traveling with her father Nery Caal, 29.

White House deputy spokesman Hogan Gidley called Caal's death 'a horrific, tragic situation,' but also said it was avoidable.
'It's a needless death and it's 100 percent preventable,' he told reporters.
'If we could just come together and pass some common-sense laws to disincentivize people from coming up from the border and encourage them to do it the right way, the legal way, then those types of deaths, those types of assaults, those types of rapes, the child smuggling, the human trafficking that would all come to an end.'

But Democrats in Congress assailed the administration's get-tough policies on immigrants attempting to cross the border illegally.
'This could be my daughter or yours, let that sink in America,' said newly elected Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, herself a refugee from Somalia.
Senator Kamala Harris condemned the 'tragic' death.
'We need a thorough account of what happened before this 7-year-old girl died of dehydration and exhaustion in CBP custody,' she tweeted.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
