Xenophobia, Tijuana-Style: Caravan Migrants Fear Angry Mob
San Diego Free Press ^ | NOVEMBER 19, 2018 | DOUG PORTER

Posted on 11/22/2018 2:43:50 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

It’s a Trumpian dream come true in TJ: mobs seeking to attack migrants as they arrive seeking asylum.

With passions inflamed by –at best– hyperbolic claims made on social media, anti-migrant protests led by various right wing groups have been taking place as elements of the caravan demonized by the U.S. President and his cohorts have been arriving in Tijuana.

One Facebook post claimed Hondurans tortured and killed a dog. Another claimed LGBTQ migrants were seeking molest children.

The first group to arrive was about 400 refugees, mostly from Honduras. Initially they staying in Playas de Tijuana, on the border with Friendship Park in the United States. They were confronted by an angry crowd, identifying themselves as local neighbors and “concerned citizens.”

From Armando Carmona, writing for Latino Rebels:

As someone who was there attempting to dialogue and directly engage with the questions and concerns the protesters were raising, it was appalling to witness such vile hatred, misunderstanding, and racism towards the refugees. I had a chance to speak with some locals about their supposed “fears” about “immigrant invasions” but it quickly became clear many of the protesters were not there to talk, nor was this a spontaneous community response. They were there to incite hatred and to instigate violence.

The most violent and aggressive anti-immigrant voices were Trump supporters from Chula Vista attempting to make a name for themselves. One woman with a Facebook page called “Paloma for Trump” identifies herself as an “American from Mexico.” She consistently made the nonsensical (but now well-known) claims about how the Democrats and Soros were the main financiers of the caravan.

How can fellow Hispanics be racist against other Hispanics?

Hilarious

A dope named Steve is shocked that Mexicans are nationalists who don’t like foreigners dissing them on their own soil

Only a deluded dishrag like Steve would be surprised by that

From the web site:

The San Diego Free Press was started in June 2012, in association with the OB Rag, to bring San Diego news and commentary from a distinctively progressive and grassroots perspective to the greater San Diego and outlying areas. Our mission is to provide a forum for those views, just as we’ve done at the OB Rag, but on a larger scale.

We are, at present, an all volunteer organization. That may change as we evolve. We’re just gonna see where this takes us.

Substantive proof that this is "nonsensical" ?

Because there’s such a lack of ultraleft views and publications in the media.

I bet the author of this projectile-vomit inducing piece lives in a gated community or mansion and knows that he and his family won't have to deal with the mayhem and chaos that would begin if we let these savages in our country.

Illegal aliens will destroy YOUR property and family, not THEIRS.

Inquiring minds want to know if it is not Soros and his open border minions who are financing this, who is? The John Birch Society?

It is easily explained. Any opposition by anyone to a “progressive” idea/movement/invasion has to include “racism”, “sexism”, “homophobia”, etc. etc. It really doesn’t have to be logical. In fact, logic itself is racist.

LOL, like the "nonsense" about voting fraud in Florida.
