TIJUANA MAYOR DENOUNCES ‘HORDE’ OF CARAVAN MIGRANTS, CALLS FOR SWIFT DEPORTATION
The Daily Caller ^ | 5:47 PM 11/16/2018 | Will Racke

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.

and cut off all wired Western Union money sent ‘back home’...

(we should be investigating those payments, BTW..anyone making base wages ‘doing the work that Americans don’t want to do’ shouldn’t have enough to send home after paying rent, taxes, car insurance, medical insurance, food,....

oh wait.....)

30 asylum seekers a day is what I heard.
10,000 extra people show up in Tijuana and that town is not going to be comfortable for a while. They are going to have to feed them and house them, give them medicine and put up with their crime etc.
Mexican government may have to finally deal with this crisis instead of putting it off on the USA as usual. It’s the only way they will change their attitude.
PDJT is showing them the way to secure their own Southern border. Gravy train is now limited for all South of our borde.

= = = = = = = = =

Interesting choice of words to say the least.

Funny how the potential ‘illegal US entrants’ were citing their ‘rights’ in the US.

Funny how simple peasants from a $hiite Hole country can cite ‘American Constitutional Rights’ ...

Also, Mr Mayor - ALL the illegals in the US are breaking laws so are you saying that they have no human rights.

Got us a real conundrum going here...

Like they say, stock up on popcorn, this will be getting good especially when the tourist dollars dry up...

Decisions, decisions....

......”all this time I thought that Tijuana was a sanctuary city”......

Only until the hoards started landing in the upper class parks and neighborhoods.....they were the ones who were yelling in the streets telling the hoards they weren’t wanted ,to get out and return back to their country.

How long will it take until MSM, DEEP STATE, and the UN turn this caravan horde into a “HUMANITARIAN CRISIS”?

Liz.....looking closer you will discover the reason the Mayor is saying these things is because the hoards were in the affluent neighborhoods and parks...only then was there an outcry against the people going into THEIR neighborhoods....so the Mayor had no choice but to call for deportation and change his tune.

Well they all recognize this is international news and being followed......so there's that as well.

Heck the one TV news reporter from Mexico was lying thru his teeth on national TV and called out even while he spoke.....didn't phase him a bit from saying what he wanted to because news is all about getting their message and propaganda out....not news that's really happening. Our media has always done this but now insanely so.....they 'OWE' too much to do otherwise.

we can just use the tijuana mayors views on immigrants.

human rights are for law abiding humans.

that keeps every single illegal immigrant out or deported if within our borders.

Hey, we don’t want them either. Let them sit there for six months until we have time to get to them. They’ll eventually go back from where they came or they’ll commit crimes and end up in a Mexican prison.

related :)
some are suggesting the Tijuana crowd go to Mexicali, and a rather intriguing quote from the mayor, that applies just as appropriately to SoCal:

“Gastelum, the mayor, wondered why the migrants chose Tijuana instead of other Mexican cities on the U.S. border, vaguely suggesting a sinister plot without elaborating.
“There is an intention to do things badly. There is an intention to prejudice Tijuana, and we cannot allow that,” he said.”

“All those illegals pouring into TJ. It’s bad for business.”

Yeah, I wonder what those TJ “Tuck and Roll” Car Upholstery Shops are going to do?
