Members of the Honduran migrant caravan have arrived at the border and they did not get the warm welcome they wanted.
Not only was the red carpet not rolled out for them by America, Mexicans on the other side of the border engaged in fights with the new migrants.
President Donald Trump warned them not to come and told them there would be consequences, but they did not listen.
Now they are facing the consequences of their actions at the hands of the United States Border Patrol, Fox News reported.
More than a dozen members of the migrant caravan were arrested Wednesday night along U.S.-Tijuana border, a border patrol source in the San Diego sector told Fox News.
A small group was arrested near the beach in an area called Playas de Tijuana. A large group was arrested in the mountains east of Otay Mesa, a San Diego community that straddles the Mexican border, the source said. All were arrested for trying to cross the border illegally, the source said.
Separately, a fight broke out Wednesday night in Tijuana between local Mexicans and Hondurans arriving in the caravan. The migrants complained that the locals were yelling: "Go home. We don't want you here!" Members of the caravan complained to reporters that local police made no attempt to break up the fight.
The developments come as more than 2,000 members of the caravan – which has made international headlines for the past month and added fuel to the already heated immigration debate – are expected to arrive at the border on Thursday. Hundreds of migrants began arriving at the border this week.
About two dozen migrants wrapped in blankets are camped out next to the border fence near the ocean. Others have crammed into already overcrowded shelters or are sleeping in tents.
Some migrants said they were waiting for others members of the caravan to arrive to figure out their next steps.
"We have to see what we're offered, just so they don't send us back to our country," said Jairon Sorto, a 22-year-old Honduran who arrived by bus Wednesday.
Sorto said he would consider staying in Tijuana if he could get asylum from Mexico. He said he refused to consider Mexico's offer of asylum in the southern part of the country because it was too close to Honduras and he felt unsafe from his country's gangs.
U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, meanwhile, visited U.S. troops posted at the border in Texas and said the deployment of military personnel ordered by President Donald Trump provides good training for war, despite criticism that the effort is a waste of taxpayer money and a political stunt. Most of the troops are in Texas, more than 1,500 miles from where the caravan is arriving.
The first wave of migrants in the caravan, which became a central theme of the recent U.S. election, began arriving in Tijuana in recent days, and their numbers have grown each day. The bulk of the main caravan appeared to still be about 1,100 miles (1,800 kilometers) from the border, but has recently been moving hundreds of miles a day by hitching rides on trucks and buses.
About 1,300 migrants in a second caravan were resting at a Mexico City stadium where the first group stayed several days last week. By early Wednesday, an additional 1,100 migrants from a third and last caravan also arrived at the stadium.
Like most of those in the third caravan, migrant Javier Pineda is from El Salvador, and hopes to reach the United States. Referring to the first group nearing the end of the journey, Pineda said, "if they could do it, there is no reason why we can't."

If Hillary was prez those men would already be in the restrooms with your wife and daughters.
There is no thought processing going on.
They're doing what they were told.
And they're violent.
Where’s the lying MSM/AP photo of all the women and children in the invasion forces?
Looks like military age young men who should be back in their own countries doing the reforms necessary to make their own country work.
Go home you ‘kissers of elite butt’ don’t bring your peasant mentality culture here - it’s the reason your countries are hellholes. You come here and vote for OUR corrupt liberal elites? So they’ll give you crumbs like YOUR effing elites back home do? You take OUR jobs and work for less? You invaders deserve your misery. Don’t bring your crappy ‘culture’ wit you.
They have been well paid to make he jorney.
They will be very angry when the pay stops and they are alone and jobless in tijuana.
I just pray for the safety of our own troops. Because I think that’s what it’s going to come to.
So do I....
“We have to see what we’re offered, just so they don’t send us back to our country,”
You have been told that you are not welcome and to go home. You have been offered asylum in Mexico. Go home.
Are the water cannons ready at the fence that runs into the ocean? Water works and it is non-lethal.
Military age males, by the hundreds. Invasion.
That makes sense since I heard that they wrote in on buses paid for by someone. It’s basically a war. For our own sovereignty.
Entrenched bureaucrats are the heart of the problem. We can (and should) term limit elected officials. There must be a way to do the same with bureaucrats.
Watch this shocker about immigration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPjzfGChGlE
An oldie but goodie.
Now, more valid than ever.
Come ON!
I’m looking at the picture and I can’t seem to find the women, children and strollers that the MSM assholes keep talking about. I think we should give Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon, Chris Matthews, Wolf Blitzer, Shepherd Smith... over to the “migrants” and tell them, “These guys say you’re really a bunch of putas y ninos!”
Not so many women and children in that picture. I wonder where the picture is of the caravan ‘reported’ in the news?
George Soros did this.
Wrath?
Bullsh*t!
When they roll up Abrams tanks, and open fire on these assholes, then you can tell me about “wrath.”
All I see is that the BP is coddling these invaders.
Perhaps the Mexicans will “do the jobs Americans won’t do” - and beat these bastards to death.
““...We have to see what we’re offered...””
How about having a fire drill down at the border fence and use fire hoses to “pi$$” this trash off the top of the fence?
I want lethal. Because THAT is the ONLY way these assholes will learn the lesson. You kill enough of them in mass, and they will STOP coming.
We need to make it a bloody nightmare for them - no mercy, no quarter.
