Herds of African immigrants are being housed in shelters in the Mexican border town of Tijuana while they await entry into the United States under what appears to be a secret accord between the Obama administration, Mexico and the Central American countries the Africans transited on their journey north. A backlog of African migrants is overwhelming limited shelter space in Tijuana and Mexican officials blame the slow pace of U.S. immigration authorities in the San Isidro port of entry for granting only 50 asylum solicitations daily.
Details about this disturbing program come from Mexico’s immigration agency, Instituto Nacional de Migracion (INM), and appear this week in an article published by the country’s largest newspaper. “Mexico is living through a wave of undocumented Africans, due to a humanitarian crisis on that continent, that has saturated shelters in Tapachula, Chiapas, and generated pressure on shelters in Tijuana, Baja California,” the news article states. The African migrants’ journey begins in Brazil under a South American policy that allows the “free transit” of immigrants throughout the continent. Ecuador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama facilitate the process by transferring the concentration of foreigners towards Mexico based on an agreement that Mexico will help them gain entry into the U.S. so they can solicit asylum.
The Africans are mostly entering Mexico through the southern state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala. This week alone 424 Africans arrived at the Chiapas immigration station, which is situated in Tapachula. Shelters in Tijuana currently have 154 migrants from African countries waiting on their U.S. asylum solicitations, according to figures provided by the INM. “The undocumented don’t want to stay in Mexico,” the news article clarifies. “They want to make it to U.S. territory to solicit asylum based on the life conditions that prevail in the continent.” Authorities in Tijuana are offering support to migrants from El Congo, Somalia, Ghana and Pakistan to facilitate entering the U.S. through the San Isidro crossing, according to the news story. San Isidro is the largest land border crossing between San Diego, California and Tijuana.
The Obama administration has done a great job of promoting its various back-door amnesty programs, which include perpetually extending a humanitarian measure designed to temporarily shield illegal immigrants from deportation during emergencies. It’s known as Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and in the last few years migrants from several African countries have received it so the new influx is not all surprising. Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone got TPS back in 2014 over the lingering effects of the Ebola Virus and earlier this year Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson extended it. The administration cited the “continued recovery challenges” the African countries face for the extension.
Last summer Johnson extended a TPS for Somalians until March 17, 2017, which could have served as a driving force behind the sudden surge via Latin America. A notice in the Federal Register says the extension was warranted because the conditions in Somalia that prompted the TPS designation continue to be met. “There continues to be a substantial, but temporary, disruption of living conditions in Somalia due to ongoing armed conflict that would pose a serious threat to the personal safety of returning Somali nationals, as well as extraordinary and temporary conditions in the country that prevent Somali nationals from returning to Somalia in safety,” the notice states. “The Secretary has also determined that permitting eligible Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is not contrary to the national interest of the United States.”

Send them all to Chicago.
TAR & FEATHERS. November is too long to wait.

They will come to town, stay for a few days, be farmed out, and a new batch will arrive. It is a revolving door that must stop.
Judicial Watch, along with independent hackers, wikileaks, Snowden and perhaps some foreign governments, are doing the job of journalists. Without these new but “informal” news sources - the US citizens would be living in a news vacuum as bad as the Soviet Union.
The MSM breaks NO news stories any longer - and they haven’t for a long time. They are mere entertainers and propagandists.
“Africans”: read “Muzzlimes”. Another way for this traitorous b___d to bring more of his brethren into our country illegally, as a fifth column.
I wonder what they mean by “African”. That could either be refugees from sub-Saharan Africa (Nigeria, Zimbabwe, etc), or from the Horn (Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan, etc), or “African” in name only (Libya, Tunisia).
Trump is still going to have some work ahead of him on the immigration front once he finishes dealing with illegal Mexicans.
Obonzo has taken America from “a nation of immigrants” to a nation of “refugees”. This is BS. Turning the greatest nation in the world into a massive “refugee” camp is repulsive and disgraceful to me.
If we allow this, we are committing suicide of our nation.
How do these poor migrants get to Mexico from Africa in the first place? Do they swim across the Pacific?
And about the refugee program in general as it is practiced: I know most Americans are very compassionate people, but the problem is, what is truly a refugee? Unfortunately, at least 70-80% of the world lives under conditions that could be termed as difficult—poverty, deprivation, war and political instability. Under the loose standards that seem to be used by this Administration, billions of people in the world could be considered candidates for refugee status in the United States. We can’t possibly absorb all of them.
They are all filthy Muslim scum.
We need more Africans. So few here in GA. Seriously though, the areas where people whine most about “diversity and inclusion” are lily white. Send the Africans there. See if the tune changes.
Stupid news reader on local am radio station was talking about zika with the other bubble head this morning. “I think Zika has been around on the planet for a long time”.
“How did it get here”, says the other. Neither could draw the conclusion of how...
Mind blowing just how stupid journalist whores are.
Everything is secret with Obama ,when they all come out your hair will turn snow white and Obama will know nothing and blame Hillary/Kerry
Africans do NOT belong in the U.S.!!!!
Look at the primitive, tribal Somalis and all the damage they do in Minnesota and Maine!!!!
Of course, the Dims truck them to polling places to commit voter fraud, or as “legitimate” voters to vote straight-ticket Democrat without even understanding written English.
Send them ALL back to Africa!!! And send ALL muslims back to Muzziestan!!!
Enough is enough!!!!
They are not migrants, they are invaders.
There is NOTHING to Prevent a President Trump from setting up a Migrant Refugee Camp on MARTHA’S VINEYARD.
There is about 5 Square Miles of VACANT LAND surrounding the Airport. A perfect spot for a Refugee Camp, at home with Proud Liberals.
