Tijuana residents start protesting Caravan trying to cross into the US

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Hundreds of Tijuana residents congregated around a monument in an affluent section of the city south of California on Sunday to protest the thousands of Central American migrants who have arrived via caravan in hopes of a new life in the U.S.
Tensions have built as nearly 3,000 migrants from the caravan poured into Tijuana in recent days after more than a month on the road, and with many more months ahead of them while they seek asylum. The federal government estimates the number of migrants could soon swell to 10,000.
On Sunday, displeased Tijuana residents waved Mexican flags, sang the Mexican national anthem and chanted "Out! Out!" in front of a statue of the Aztec ruler Cuauhtemoc, 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from the U.S. border. They accused the migrants of being messy, ungrateful and a danger to Tijuana. They also complained about how the caravan forced its way into Mexico, calling it an "invasion." And they voiced worries that their taxes might be spent to care for the group.
"We don't want them in Tijuana," protesters shouted.
Juana Rodriguez, a housewife, said the government needs to conduct background checks on the migrants to make sure they don't have criminal records.
A woman who gave her name as Paloma lambasted the migrants, who she said came to Mexico in search of handouts. "Let their government take care of them," she told video reporters covering the protest.
While many in Tijuana are sympathetic to the migrants' plight and trying to assist, some locals have shouted insults, hurled rocks and even thrown punches at them. The cold reception contrasts sharply with the warmth that accompanied the migrants in southern Mexico, where residents of small towns greeted them with hot food, campsites and even live music.

Caravan board brah.
Well, it was the Caravan board two weeks ago. It's really odd how all of a sudden it stopped.

Not a good look when even Tijuana residents think you are messy.

Tensions are growing in Tijuana as 3,000 migrants arrive at the US border, a number officials expect to grow to 10,000 as asylum cases take months to process
Officials expect the number to swell to 10,000 as US asylum claims take months, and the US government is only processing about 100 per day.
On Monday, the US closed the busiest border crossing with Mexico for hours.
TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — The United States closed off northbound traffic for several hours at the busiest border crossing with Mexico to install new security barriers on Monday, a day after hundreds of Tijuana residents protested against the presence of thousands of Central American migrants.
The US also closed one of two pedestrian crossings at the San Ysidro crossing in a move apparently aimed at preventing any mass rush of migrants across the border.
The installation of movable, wire-topped barriers threatens to complicate life for Mexicans using San Ysidro, where about 110,000 people enter the US every day in 40,000 vehicles.
Long lines backed up in Tijuana, where many people have to cross the border to work on the US side.
But others accused the migrants of being messy, ungrateful and a danger to Tijuana. They also complained about how the caravan forced its way into Mexico, calling it an "invasion." And they voiced worries that their taxes might be spent to care for the group.
"We don't want them in Tijuana," protesters shouted.
Juana Rodriguez, a housewife, said the government needs to conduct background checks on the migrants to make sure they don't have criminal records.
Elsewhere on Sunday, a group of 200 migrants headed north from El Salvador, determined to also find safety in numbers to reach the US.

I love it. But a bullet per climber would be cheaper. And throw the carcass back over the wall as warning to other attackers.

And we should give them the DMV treatment. We'll get to you when we're goddamn good and ready.

They accused the migrants of being messy, ungrateful and a danger to Tijuana.
Also, does this mean the Mexicans screaming at them and don't want them in their country are racist Nazis? After all, these are just sweet, innocent people looking for a better life.

This doesn't mean they deserve to get in or anything, but you have to give them props for their dedication. You must really want to go somewhere if you travel 2500 miles on foot to get there.

They're white supremacists for being "Mexico first" according to our friends on the left. Their silence will be deafening

Migrant caravan at US border is harboring more than 500 criminals, Homeland Security claims
Homeland Security officials say there are currently 6,000 people in Tijuana waiting to be processed at the San Ysidro border crossing, with more on the way.
More than 500 criminals are traveling with the migrant caravan that’s massed on the other side of a San Diego border crossing, homeland security officials said Monday afternoon.
The revelation was made during a conference call with reporters, with officials asserting that "most of the caravan members are not women and children". They claimed the group is mostly made up of single adult or teen males and that the women and children have been pushed to the front of the line in a bid to garner sympathetic media coverage.

Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastélum – who has referred to the arrivals as “bums” and questioned whether a referendum in the city of 1.6 million is needed to determine whether or not they should be allowed to stay – reportedly estimated the migrants may have to wait six months for their asylum claims to be processed.

Well duh. Southern Mexico knew they were just passing through. They seem to have stalled in Tijuana.

They must all have paradox-absorbing crumple zones in their heads, like Robot Santa Claus on "Futurama," to prevent their heads from exploding at the logical paradox this presents.
