Mexico will deport almost 500 migrants who attempted to storm the US border, according to its interior ministry.

The group were rounded up after trying to cross the border "violently" and "illegally" on Sunday, the ministry said in a statement.

Video footage shows dozens of people - including women and children - running towards the fence that separates the two countries near the city of Tijuana.

They were repelled by tear gas used by US border officers.

Mexico's interior ministry said all those who were identified as having tried to cross would be deported immediately.

It added that, "far from helping their objectives", the migrants' actions had violated the legal migration framework and could have led to a "serious incident".

They have offered asylum and they didn't want it.  Now since they didn't want asylum in their country they should deport them all.

The trick is to convince Mexico that letting these people cross their border and slog to the US border is a very bad idea.  Our Congress critters are unlikely to fix the law this term.
