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.

Cue the, “That’s racist!”, kid.
Wow!
this is starting to get good
BTTT !
Too funny as the mexican guberment took them there.
Pingaroo!
And all this time I thought that Tijuana was a sanctuary city.
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.
Tijuana knew this ‘horde’ was approaching months ago.
They are just now figuring out how this will effect them?
Maybe the ‘hoarde’ is not greasing enough palms this go round. That’s the real reason for this sudden rage.
popcorn & beer time....................
All those illegals pouring into TJ. It’s bad for business.
Could they really make Tijuana any worse than it already is?
Deport them to where? Tijuana is a lot closer to mexifornia than the craphole of guatemala.
Why do they want to deport Taylor Swift?
/s
How about that... Guess they are close enough that a little common sense rubbed off on them.
I don’t know if they could make it worse. But they sure as hell could add measurably to the overall misery.
,,,,and the Baja 1000 is gearing up!
Uh, deported by who? Meth-eek O or do they want US to do it. They should have never been permitted by the Methicans to get past their southern border. Perhaps someone or someONES bank accounts grew.
