In a scene that could potentially become non-existent under a Donald Trump presidency, Mexican families on either side of the US-Mexican border were briefly united Saturday for Universal Children's Day.

The touching reunions happened with the full cooperation of border control on each side of the fence that splits the US from its neighbor to the south.

One of Trump's main campaign promises was to build a wall between the two countries, and he reiterated his commitment to it recently on '60 Minutes.' He has also vowed to expel millions of undocumented Mexican immigrants.

The reunion, which allowed family and friends to hug and kiss for a few minutes, happened at the fence on the Tijuana-San Diego border.

The door opening was organized by pro-migrants NGOs and local authorities in coordination with the United States Border Patrol.
