Tijuana mayor on arriving migrant caravan: ‘It’s a tsunami’ hotair.com/archives/2018/…
Mayor Juan Manuel Gastélum called the influx a “tsunami” and referred to some of the migrants as “bums.”
By Friday, Tijuana police had detained seven caravan members — six Hondurans and a Guatemalan — according to Marco Antonio Sotomayor, Tijuana’s public safety secretary, who said they will be turned over to Mexican immigration authorities for deportation.
Two were inebriated and fighting each other in Playas de Tijuana and three were arrested at the city’s newly opened shelter in the Zona Norte for smoking marijuana.
two were arrested for consuming illegal drugs across town in Camino Verde, one of the city’s most crime-ridden neighborhoods.
USA Today reports Mayor Gastélum also said, “No city in the world is prepared to receive this … avalanche.” But it’s not just the mayor who is upset.
It appears that many Mexicans are “racist” too - because they don’t appreciate the invasion of their cities and towns by thousands of illegals
“Some local residents unhappy that the migrants are showing up and demanding services and turning parts of the town into a campsite.”

But the problem has really just begun for Tijuana. And additional 6,000 migrants (on top of the 2000 there now) are expected to arrive in the next few days and those who want to apply for asylum legally may have to wait six months or longer.
Is the city going to make its sports stadium a shelter for all of these people and feed them for the next six months? That’s going to be very expensive for someone.
