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.

Done....see post 80
It’s fake
What do you mean?
What is happening is exactly what he said, over and over, would happen. They are being detained and held until they get a hearing. That’s the law. They have to prove their need for asylum or they go back. No more catch and release. That’s what he said would happen.
Trump did not say that. Asylum must be requested at a port of entry. Other types of requests for admission must happen at a consulate in your own country. Before Trump issued an executive order last week, people sneaking into the USA anywhere had up to a year to request asylum. It’s probably being challenged in a court though it makes sense to me.
Sara Carter and a man from Judicial Watch and a second female reporter spent three days traveling with caravans. They interviewed many participants as well as helpers and government officials in Central America.
I only saw their video on a YouTube on the internet. They said that 98% of the migrants are working-age males and many were from non-western countries. Somehow our media is not interested in this story except as it can bash Trump.
I learned Spanish in HS, at the time it was a Foreign language.
Has been all along.
This is the end of the Republic and Trump. The people will not forgive the lie that they will not be allowed to enter, unless he really brings war to the table. I cringed every time he lied and said the Wall was being built when he knew Ryan's bill specifically denied that any money could be spent on anything other than repair. That was a lie and he knew it was a lie. Apparently he lied about the caravan too.
Sad days ahead for the best President in my life time.
Nice!
I’m not ready to give up yet.
We are only 2 years in.
Trump is taking on the biggest bunch of American sell outs, bums and crooks in the the history of this country since its founding.

No, its far from fake. convienient wish though.
