Tensions have risen in Tijuana as members of the Central American migrant caravan continue to arrive at the Mexican border city, while US troops continue to tighten security along the frontier.
On Sunday, anti-caravan protesters chanted: “Out Hondurans, we don’t want you here”, “Tijuana first” and “Long live Mexico”, and waved Mexican flags and signs reading “no to the invasion” and “no more migrants”.
The group, which at its height numbered about 300, gathered in front of a statue of the Aztec warrior Cuauhtémoc before making their way to a sports complex serving as a temporary shelter to about 2,500 migrants from the caravan.

When they reached the shelter, they were met by a line of riot police. The standoff lasted several hours, with the crowd throwing water and beer cans at officers before eventually dissipating.
While many have welcomed the migrants – as they have the thousands of others who have come to the city over recent years – some Tijuana residents have expressed hostility to the caravan, amid intense media coverage and aggressive rhetoric from the US president, Donald Trump.
At the sports complex, the protests were met with a mix of fear and resignation.
“I’m not afraid of them, this is just racism,” said Alonzo Castillo, 37, a construction worker from Honduras.
Others were more fearful. The protest came just days after anti-immigrant protesters harassed, threatened, and hurled rocks at a group of about 100 migrants who were sleeping by the beach.

Absolutely. A wall on America’s southern border will stop illegal migrations into Mexico. It’s a win win.
They have cuter accents. Give priority to Cameroon!
And I am sure that the majority of the millionaires and billionaires that control the economy of Mexico have gotten much of their riches by protecting the drug cartels.
If every able-bodied male "immigrant" here in the USA that are Mexican Nationals (and those that are here legally also) banded together and marched on their country, they could take it back and make Mexico a prosperous nation.
Instead they stay here and live off of the largess of our government in one way or another.
We won the Mexican-American War back in the middle of the 1800's and could have taken the whole country.
Instead we increased our size to the configuration of the present southern border. More of Texas and added Arizona, New Mexico and California.
68% of caravan travelers have been assaulted in some way
One third of the women have been sexually assaulted
A guest on Fox News or FBN voiced those stats yesterday.
I’ve also heard that many of the women and children the caravan pushed to the front of the line for a human shield have disappeared
Probably into sex trafficking
Disgusting. And the U.S. media suppresses this.
#33. Re “I am 1/2024th Mayan”. I think your mother said “MyAss you are; Mayan you are not”.
Hundreds of thousands of American stoners started packing to go to Tijuana because they thought the mayor said “Marijuana First”.
So many disappointed MJ jerks when they sobered up long enough to see the signs said “Tijuana”, not “marijuana”.
However, the good news is that they thought someone also said “Port-a-Potty” and they all headed to Portland.
True it doesn’t fit their agenda to report news of this type.
It’s amazing how easily the masses are led astray from the real news.
