Dramatic images from the Mexican border town of Tijuana show migrants from the Central American caravan crawl underneath the fence and into the United States on Tuesday.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Tuesday that the San Diego sector has experienced a 'slight uptick' in families entering the U.S. illegally and turning themselves in to agents since the caravan of Central American migrants arrived in Tijuana two weeks ago.
In recent days, the migrants have either scaled the border fence or found a small space a few inches high underneath and wiggled through.
The migrants are then taken into custody by border patrol officers.
Other images show Chinese tourists taking photos of the fence, which has been in the news in recent weeks.

Thousands of migrants on the Mexico side of the border are living in crowded tent cities in Tijuana after a grueling weekslong journey through Mexico on foot and hitching rides with the goal of applying for asylum in the U.S.
Frustrated with the long wait to apply, with the U.S. processing 100 requests at most each day, some migrants are trying to cross over clandestinely.
Rachel Rivera, 19, told The Associated Press that Honduras had become unlivable.
Moments before flattening herself under the fence, she said she was slipping through to the U.S. in an attempt to 'give a better life' to her daughter Charlot.
An AP video journalist also witnessed more than two dozen migrants scale a fence between Mexico and the U.S. on Monday evening.
Once across, entire families raised their hands before border patrol agents who arrived swiftly in white trucks.
It's unclear where the families were taken from there.
On a typical day before the caravan arrived in Tijuana, U.S. border patrol agents in the San Diego area detained about 120 or so people trying to cross the border illegally from Mexico.

President Donald Trump issued a proclamation in November suspending asylum rights for people who try to cross into the U.S. illegally.
Rights groups question the legality of that proclamation.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ralph DeSio said the U.S. was trying to deter illegal crossings by issuing the proclamation.
The U.S. has an established process for asylum seekers to present themselves in an 'orderly' manner at a port of entry, DeSio told AP via email.
'When people choose to ignore that process, they put themselves in danger and, in the case of families, they choose to put the lives of their children at risk.'

Trump took to Twitter again Tuesday to drum up support for a better border wall, arguing that the expense would be less than the U.S. incurs each year due to illegal immigration.
People mainly from Honduras but also from El Salvador and Guatemala formed the caravan to Tijuana, seeking safety in numbers while crossing Mexico to avoid criminals and the fees demanded by the gangs that prey on migrants.
Dozens of the migrants have told AP they are fleeing poverty and searching for a better life, while many also tell of harrowing violence and death threats back home.
Margarita Lopez, a migrant from Honduras, said she would definitely jump the fence to the U.S. if she got the chance.
But in the meantime, Lopez stood in line Tuesday to request a humanitarian visa from Mexican officials that would allow her to live and work in Mexico for a year.
Standing nearby, Luis Fernando Vazquez, a migrant from Guatemala, said he won't make a run for the border.
'I'm not like that,' he said.
'I prefer to work, to behave well, here.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
