Tijuana: Fed Up & On "On
The Brink", Posted

No Mas Caravanas - The people of Tijuana have taken to the streets to rid their city of the unwanted burden of an additional 6,200-plus people roaming around, depleting charity and city resources, with no assistance from the federales in the works.
The financial burden on the
border city is only one cost. Add in crime, illness, and unsanitary
conditions...
As thousands of
immigrants gather in Tijuana after a months-long march through poverty-stricken
countries to reach the Calexico border, it appears the
Guatemalan, Salvadoran, and Honduran wannabe refugees are
receiving an unhealthy dose of reality.
Their promised America —
mostly advertised as a life replete with bountiful resources, including
unending welfare, free child care, and high-paying jobs for the
uneducated — refuses to process the entire lot. And as a government
scale-back and standoff over border security tediously plods along, legal
immigration into the United States is held in perpetual limbo.
What
could possibly go wrong? As
Host Cities Go - Tijuana is fed up with
playing host-city to some 6,200 migrants bringing illness, creating fear for
businesses and residents, and financially burdening the busy border town.
In an interview with
Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum, pent-up frustrations were obvious, as he
said the caravan is “hitting us hard. It’s costing us 550,000 pesos a day.” That figure
approximates $28,000, but is widely disputed by other officials as nearing an
unmanageable $40,000 per day.
Tijuana City Delegate
Genaro Lopez Moreno added details about the city’s migrant caravan-induced
crisis on Fox News’ program Tucker
Carlson Tonight:
“Things got out of hand because they kept
growing and growing... But we’re carrying the financial load of keeping
these people with medicine, food, shelter, blankets, and whatever. There’s a
lot of trash because the 360 grew to 6,200, and that’s when it got out of hand.
There’s
like 1,500 people here, there’s 2,200 people there, and there’s 2,000 people
that are not accounted for.”
The situation is
overwhelming the town’s mental, physical, and financial resources. And one
wonders where the organizers and assistance givers along the route, Pueblo Sin
Fronteras, have gone.
If you ask Mayor
Gastelum, he is quite clear on the fate of the organizers: “This person who say he’s from Pueblo Sin
Fronteras, he say that he’s one of the leaders of the caravan, well, why don’t
the federal police say, ‘Hey, hey, come over here.’” .
The
mayor, and most of the migrants, believe Pueblo Sin Fronteras lied about the
caravan and how long the asylum process would take. The mayor indicated that
representatives of the anti-borders group should be charged with “putting
people at risk.”
And then there is the uptick in criminals now living in Tijuana, which
accounts for almost 300 arrests for drug possession, intoxication, and
breaking and entering. During the journey, the Department
of Homeland Security identified the most pressing concerns for Mexico and the United
States:
“...over
270 individuals along the caravan route have criminal histories, including
known gang membership. Those include a number of violent criminals – examples
include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, sexual assault
on a child, and assault on a female.
Mexican
officials have also publicly stated that criminal groups have infiltrated the
caravan. We also continue to see
individuals from over 20 countries in this flow from countries such as Somalia,
India, Haiti, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.”
Liberals
can squawk about the bedraggled masses of women and children seeking asylum,
but Department of Homeland Security reports warned us that “50 percent are
single adults.
Guatemalan
Intel Minister said that the caravan is employing tactics to push women and
children to the front to act as human shields ….”
Of
course, what Americans in their right minds would buy what today’s alt-left
Democrats are attempting to sell?
Carrying
handmade signs demanding “no more caravans,” people are speaking to their
country and to Americans across the border in solidarity.
Does
this sentiment sound familiar? Fidel Ernesto Gonzalez, of Tijuana, demanded the
Mexican government secure his country’s southern border with Guatemala,
requiring any asylum seeker enter the country legally, with passport and legal
paperwork.
“It’s the same thing that Donald Trump is
dealing with in the United States. If you want to enter the United States, you
can enter, but you have to do so legally.”
Both Mexico and the United States have reached
the end of their collective rope on the public relations stunt created and
executed by the Democrats. It
is obvious they care not for the people involved; they seek only the
optics. But the line between humanity and hysteria, legal and illegal,
and the safety and welfare of thousands is beginning to blur.
Build
the wall, Mr. Trump, and take no political prisoners in the process.
As Gastelum said, “Tijuana is a city
of immigrants, but we don’t want them in this way. It was different with the
Haitians; they carried papers, they were in order. It wasn’t a horde,
pardon the expression.” And that is precisely how the majority of
Americans feel, Mr. Mayor.
