Secretary of Homeland Security Kristjen Nielsen made a flying visit to the US-Mexico border in San Diego on Tuesday.
Dismissing critics in the media, Nielsen said the US government had not overreacted to migrant caravan currently amassing in nearby Tijuana. "The crisis is real and it is just outside of this wall," she said.
The situation along the border is tense. US President Donald Trump has vowed to prevent migrants from seeking asylum instead choosing to bolster security along the frontier.
Around 3,000 migrants have already arrived in Tijuana. The city's authorities expect that number to reach 10,000 in the coming days.
The migrants, mostly fleeing violence and poverty, have been travelling for over a month after the group first formed in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
