Strength. Important you pointed out they have counseling and the equipment they need. Reporter theyre bringing in more supplies. I see the supplies. We want to you keep your voice down as low as you can. We can hear you. Reporter more supplies. We see paramedics coming out. There have been pediatricians on the scene that have been brought in. People just with Everyday Tools that have been asked to come to try to break some of this concrete in this school, andrea. The fists have gone back up again. Im going to hand it to you. For the first time probably 15 minutes ago, they started to drill, a diamondedged drill, it looked like really into the bars sort of on the bottom level. Until then we just see people try to climb into that hole from above. As theyre able to hear whether through the Cell Phone Calls or directly from the voices of those children inside in that area known as the triangle of life, they are simply trying to
get closer. Ive got a lot of people who know more about these
all this law enforcement presence what is the message that it s sending? you re not going to be able to cross illegally. you can t cross in any way shape or fashion. is its necessary at this level, no. reporter: we cross the border and this is what we found. the atmosphere here is very tense. you have the mexican federalis, the red cross, all of them surrounding this shelter. 1800 migrants mostly from honduras who arrived via caravan over a week ago now being kept by mexican authorities in what used to be a factory. among them we met this woman. how would you describe this place? [ speaking foreign language ] like being in jail. reporter: we re told only a
officials are aiming to do? are they trying to get them to not rush the border crossing? the border crossing is to your left somewhere? reporter: yes. the border crossing is behind me. it s an international bridge controlled by mexico on one side and u.s. on the other. they have heightened the security presence on the other side. as we cross into mexico today, there were even moving about containers somehow, you know, trying to fend off these people from the migrant caravan from just mustering the courage to show up to the bridge and try to go to the united states. here on the mexican side of the border is something i have never seen before. they are mobilizing their local security and mexican federalis to keep them fenced in. i have never seen them fenced in in a shelter like this not be allowed to buy groceries or basic needs. after a week, as i mentioned, it really remains to be seen
though there is a crane there, they simply can t lift these slabs. it is like a puzzle. every piece that s pulled out and they re brittle. the idea of knowing that there are at least three people alive in there changed the dynamic entirely, because now you have to make sure that every little thing you move doesn t cause a collapse. and it s also a risk for the rescuers themselves. any one piece, which you can t engineer. you don t know how these large plates of cement the fact that these kids perhaps are protected by a concrete table or some sort of slab is unique. there are air bubbles and air pockets. yes, mariana? reporter: the barricade has gone back up. they re closing the perimeter once again, and it seems like that ambulance that was going to come out did not come out after all. we did see several more people, mexican federalis, go in.
actually take the time and invest some of his sweat equity to get this done, i believe it would put it over the hump. they ve got their own judicial system that has to work there. this gentleman doesn t fit the profile or anyone who s dangerous. this sounds like an accident that occurred. i hope he s treated fairly and back in florida soon. obviously what we need between mexico and the united states is some kind of demilitarized zone to where you first hit the mexican federalis you re not in mexican territory. you can say wait a minute. i didn t mean to be here. i have guns. i m not trying to take them into mexico. i missed the last exit. please let me go. they then have to let you go. that s what we need on the border obviously. if mexico is going to be a bad neighbor, we need to have some kind of neutral zone where accidents like this don t happen and the mexican government can t take advantage of young americans. we asked hillary clinton what she would do for our marine if she
