TENSIONS turned to violence as Tijuana police attempted to manage protesters to the Migrant caravan hoping to claim asylum in the US.
As the migrant caravan draws closer to US it has become more pressing in both Mexican and American politics.
Donald Trump tweeted about Mexico’s inability to deal with the many migrants staying and passing through the country.
He said: “The Mayor of Tijuana, Mexico, just stated that the city is ill-prepared to handle this many migrants, the backlog could last 6 months.
“Likewise, the US is ill-prepared for this invasion and will not stand for it, they are causing crime and big problems in Mexico, Go home.”
In a separate tweet the US President express the need for more severe methods in dealing with the onslaught of migrants.
He tweeted: “Catch and Release is an obsolete term. It is now Catch and Detail. Illegal immigrants trying to come into the US, often proudly flying the flag of their nation as they ask for US asylum, will be detained or turned away.
“Democrats must approve Border Security and Wall NOW.”
Some of the protesters were very vocal about their disdain for the migrant caravan, including Esther Monroy, 58.
She said: “Most of us in this area depend on business from people coming and going across the border.
“If they close it, it will be the migrant's fault,” “Most of them are criminals anyway.
“If the government can’t control all this, organised crime and drug cartels will.
“We don’t care who does it, but they have to take responsibility for these people.”

That is the strangest thing. I saw the very same report at 11 last night on Shannon Breem show - same barriers ACROSS the lanes of traffic shutting several down and others off to the side held in reserve...It’s almost like they are being kept a secret from the internet. I found a picture of a large boom truck sitting there that must have been used - necessary - to lift them into place but I give up on the rest of it.
Breem - correction Bream...
Possibly the steel panels slde within an embedded track in the road?
That’s possible - it would make sense to always have that availability.. How about we just put them in place and leave them there? Leave the southbound lanes open for all of them to leave the US. That’s a popular stretch of highway south - have only been on the trolley from San Diego to TJ but once was enough.
