Mexican federal authorities at the ports of entry in Tijuana are now allowing migrants from the Central American caravan into the U.S. so they can begin asylum requests.
This week, at the Chaparral Port of Entry in Tijuana, Mexican immigration officials announced 90 Central American caravan migrants would be allowed to advance to ask for asylum, journalist Rebecca Plevin reported. Twenty-five asylum seekers were allowed on Monday and 60 more on Tuesday.
At El Chaparral port of entry in Tijuana, Mexican immigration officials say 90 people will be allowed to make asylum claims today. People cheer; some 25 were allowed Monday, around 60 yesterday, we hear.

The groups in Tijuana awaiting asylum include hundreds of members from the migrant caravan that departed in October from Honduras with the ultimate goal of reaching the U.S. border. It remains unclear if the migrants will be detained while their asylum claim is processed, or if they will be released due to lack of space in detention facilities.
While the caravan was not expected to reach the U.S. border for weeks, hundreds of members were shuttled in buses with federal police escorts along various parts of the journey from Mexico City to Tijuana. The group decided to aim for the west coast rather than traverse more dangerous regions controlled by drug cartels known for being ruthless to migrants. While Tijuana is currently seeing record-setting murders tied to cartel violence, the local organizations do not typically target migrants for violent extortion schemes.

Ann Coulter is right.
They got busses and Mexican police escorts cuz Mexico didn’t want them THERE:
They wanted to merrily expedite the stinky problem along and dump it in the US, just like they always do.
What if your neighbor dumped his garbage in your yard for YEARS..?
At this rate I”M gonna have to seek asylum. In an institution!
I’ve always thought Ann Coulter should take over Homeland Security. And there just happens to be an opening now.
Hey you! Holding the welcome sign! How many can you handle at your place? Dumbass!!
as i predicted, the army is being sent to facilitate illegal aliens entry into the US.
I’m seriously confused by the first sentence in the article. Are Mexican authorities now officially in charge of the U.S. border, or is this simply an understanding of our default position?
One hundred percent of bridges crossing the Rio Grande should be draw bridges.
I thought it had been stated that “none” of them would get in, and that they must apply for asylum at a US embassy in their own country.
Seems Lucy has moved the football again.
I said this would happen. Thanks Donald Trump.
Most likely I’d be in Jail for shooting him, and not for wounding or missing.
Most will be deported,
During fiscal 2016, ICE spent $3.2 billion to identify, arrest, detain and remove undocumented immigrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security. ICE handled some 240,000 of the roughly 450,000 total deportations that took place last year. (Customs and Border Patrol was responsible for the rest. It also arrests and deports undocumented immigrants, but mainly as they try to enter the U.S.)
Each deportation conducted by ICE cost taxpayers an average of $10,854 in fiscal 2016, an official from the agency told CNNMoney. This amount includes everything from housing and feeding a detainee to transporting him back to his home country.
These are legal immigrants and are being processed as our laws allow. Very few seeking asylum will be granted permission to stay.
I hope to God! I would hate to have been right on this. Trust me, I’ve never wanted to so wrong.
There’s lies, damn lies, and statistics. Illegals are everywhere, 15 million illegals which is 15x more than the number of actual people in my state. how’s THAT for a statistic lol.
Escourted by Mexican Federal Police. Mexico is an enemy state.
I am really put out about this. Trump needs to have a serious conversation with Mattis about this.
