Tijuana, Mexico - The shelters in Tijuana that care for the migrant population are now in a state of emergency, severely overcrowded due to the arrival of thousands of Haitians seeking refuge in the United States.

According to the director of Migrant Care of Tijuana, César Aníbal, there are 3,200 foreign migrants in these 28 shelters, and the majority come from Haiti. Located across the U.S.-Mexico border from San Diego, Tijuana is a destination for those seeking entry to the United States.

In an interview with Agenzia Info Salesiana, Fr. Leonardo Martínez, in charge of the Salesian “Padre Chava” shelter, a center with 88 beds and a communal kitchen, said what is urgently needed is “a space to put thousands of people because more are going to continue to come.”

Wasn’t some white liberal celebrating Haiti murdering the white folks there during their revolution?

Guess that didn’t work out so well for Haiti.

There’s also that whole deal with the Devil they made to get rid of the whites..

“How were they able to get into Mexico ?”

Good question. I doubt they swam, so where are their boats landing in Mexico? And why is Mexico letting them in? Clearly to move them to the USA.

“the majority” are Haitians but what about the rest? Stop the invasion President Trump!

Haitians will be welfare recipients forever. Many years ago a soft-hearted friend tried to help a Haitian get a job. The guy took two hours to do a five-minute job. He had moving slow down to a science. He would have turned a one-day job into a life-long career. Apparently getting a genuine job offer is such a rarity that Haitians immediately launch into barely moving slow mode to try to make the job last forever.
