Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum said Thursday that caravan migrants arriving by the hundreds are no longer welcome, an increasingly common sentiment among residents of the Mexican border city.

Gastelum described the caravan of Central American migrants as a “horde” that has been infiltrated by criminals who now threaten the community, in an interview with Milenio Television.

“Tijuana is a city of immigrants, but we don’t want them in this way,” the mayor, a member of the conservative National Action Party, said. “It was different with the Haitians, they carried papers, they were in order. It wasn’t a horde, pardon the expression.”

Gastelum called on the Mexican government to deport the caravan migrants as soon as possible.

“You’re going to tell me we have to respect human rights,” he said. “But human rights are for law-abiding humans.”

The mayor’s comments reflected anger among many Tijuana residents at the increasing number of caravan migrants who have been streaming into the city since last weekend. About 3,000 were there as of Thursday night, and thousands more are expected to arrive over the coming weeks.

Invite the mayor to D.C. for a Trump news conference. They can use Acosta as a pinata afterwards.

I think the mayor knows if there is trouble at the border Americans who are still foolish enough to go into TJ and Baja California Norte won’t be coming now.

It's a lot more than American tourists. Cross-border commerce is the life blood of TJ.

Thank goodness for him that he doesn’t live north of the border, that racist creep. 8>)

Sure won’t be good for the “migrants” if Mexico decides that they have had enough. They won’t be gentle. It’s about time that they quit enabling invaders who want to cross our border.

The mayor may have been complaining for months, but the gaslight presstitutes decide what is “news.”

[Mark]

They should use some of the Gentleman's Clubs(also known as Cartels) to assist with the problems.

Tijuana wants swift deportation of caravan horde, so why are we processing 90 asylum seekers per day?

[little jeremiah]

Is that happening now? AG Whitaker made an official DOJ statement right after he became acting AG that only those who enter at legal entry points can even apply for asylum. Anyone illegally entering cannot apply for asylum. It was the new policy from that day of statement from what I remember.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

I just for the life cannot understand how the Left keeps their narratives going sometimes. Tijuana local: “You’re going to tell me we have to respect human rights . . . But human rights are for law-abiding humans.”

[bitt]

hahaha, they need to take all the Soros and Catholic Charities money and deport all the migrants themselves!!!!

[stars & stripes forever]

But the arrival of another caravan has frustrated local officials and residents who worry that the massive group of homeless Central Americans will be stuck in Tijuana indefinitely. U.S. border authorities are processing about 90 asylum seekers per day at the ports of entry near Tijuana, where there was a wait list of more than 3,000 people even before the caravan arrived. “We’re talking about a minimum of six months, and there’s no upper limit,” Gastelum said.

HALT the processing of "asylum seekers" until the U.S. deports the illegals.
