Migrants waiting on Mexican side following US entry refusal

Upward of 100 people from Central America who travelled north in a so-called "migrant caravan" to seek asylum in the United States are waking up on the Mexican side of the border Monday morning.

Organisers of the group said there are about 100 people sleeping outside a port of entry in San Diego. They spent the night on threadbare blankets and mats on concrete ground, reports ABC News.

The caravan that started in Honduras and travelled through Central America and Mexico for weeks is now stopped at the San Ysidro port of entry after arriving on Sunday.

As of morning, none of the travellers have been processed by US Customs and Border Protection.
