After traveling nearly 3,000 miles, enduring sweltering heat, tropical downpours, chilly evenings and endless stretches of mountains and desert during more than a month on the road, Ana Lidia Cruz acknowledged being somewhat deflated upon her arrival to this sprawling border city.
Everywhere in Mexico, people treated us so nicely they gave us food, water, places to stay, said Vargas, 38, who was seated beneath a metal sculpture of dolphins in the seaside Playas de Tijuana district. But here, they dont seem to want us. Were all tired, and a bit disillusioned.

The exhausted migrants who made it to Tijuana seemed taken aback by what they found here.
The hostility from residents of Playas de Tijuana was a surprise. But many were also struck by the high fencing along the border at times consisting of two or three layers of metal barriers of various sizes and the large contingent of U.S. Border Patrol officers lurking on the other side, monitoring developments.

Invaders are seldom welcome.
Youse guys need more S0r0$ money...
Damn right they don’t want you, lady. Go home. America owes you nothing.
We don’t want you in the USA, either.
GO HOME!
They’re not welcome anywhere, and then they go home they’ll figure that one out.
Yes! Intimidation works!
Thank you President Trump! Protect our country, and keep the infidels out!
Soros is responsible for this. He is responsible for up rooting their lives and filling their heads with fantasy. Now that they are at the border Soros has no need to keep spending money to keep the illusion.
Inform them they’re unwelcome here too.
To our eyes, Mexicans, Hondurans, Salvadorans, all seem pretty much the same. But to their eyes they are quite different. I have family in Costa Rica, and you don’t won’t to know what they think of Nicaraguans.
I've been to Tijuana. They love Americans there... but really because of the money that trades hands. These invading hordes have their hands out wanting stuff without paying for it, something the shopkeepers of Tijuana are pissed out.
I am sure that in Tijuana they are viewed as line jumpers and competitors for entry into the U.S.
GOOD!
They are not welcome here, either.
Take it up with the tour bus company.
The LAST thing Tijuana wants is law from both sides descending on their city.
“sweltering heat, tropical downpours”
Status quo for Honduras.
Keep these bums out of the USA.
