Tijuana's mayor defiantly slammed his country's federal government for failing to provide adequate aid for the migrant caravan and vowed not to bankrupt his city to care for the thousands now massed near the U.S. border.
Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum on Thursday asked for international groups like the United Nations to step up aid in response to the more than 5,000 migrants who have arrived in the city over the past two weeks in an attempt to reach the U.S. border. Gastelum called the situation a humanitarian crisis and claimed the Mexican federal government had not helped the city deal with the massive influx of migrants.
“They have categorically omitted and not complied with their legal obligations,” he said during a press conference on Thanksgiving Day, the Arizona Republic reported. “So we’re now asking them and international humanitarian aid groups to bring in and carry out humanitarian assistance.”
Meanwhile, a small group of Central American migrants marched to a border crossing on Thursday to demand better conditions in shelters housing them.
The group of about 150 migrants carrying white flags that read, “La Paz y Dios” or “Peace and God” separated from the larger caravan and inched within 500 feet from the U.S., the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday.
They criticized the conditions at the shelters and said they deserved better.
“There are sick children here, and we are cold and hungry,” said Carlos Lopez, a Honduran who was leading the group. “The whole world is watching what is happening here.”
Municipal authorities have acknowledged they are ill-equipped to handle the growing number of migrants arriving in the city.

If only they had a country of their own...
Your Country let them in...……., so lick it up!
“There are sick children here, and we are cold and hungry,” said Carlos Lopez, a Honduran who was leading the group. “The whole world is watching what is happening here.”
Yes, Mexico is at fault. Let them fix the problem and enforce their laws.
If nations would adopt capitalism and the rule of law none of this migration crap would ever take place.
Get the military to the border.
Set up concertina wire.
Bring in the new ADS systems for crowd control.
The people behind this did it deliberately. They want suffering and bloodshed.
Don’t care. Nobody should get in. Nobody.
Caravaners go home!
The Mayor began this cry out when the first group got into Tijuana....UN involvement in a Crisis always Means cash flows on the international stage....and they all take their ‘cut’!
How many is enough? That’s a question my liberal friends will not/cannot answer. I ask them, what if the entire population of the Middle East and South/Central America showed up. Would you let ‘em in? No answer. I always tell ‘em the door is shut, NOW!
As easy as rent a mobs are to organize, what are the odds that we will soon see a “caravan” of open border supporters heading south to the border to cause chaos and confusion on the American side while the invaders push across the border?
Your country should secure it’s Southern Border
Unlike Julius Caeser who told the Celtic woman and children to take a hike when they pulled this stunt at the Siege of Alesia I think when push comes to shove the US will cave.
Oh...do I see your group throwing out there gang signals????
Should have packed a lunch!
Well, hopefully you'll get smart and GO HOME.
If not, maybe the world will watch your sick die where you lie in tijuana and know - we're not your dumping ground. The rules of asylum - you claim it in the first country you come to after exiting your home country. Meehico offered it to you......you refused it....
So FU....and the horse you rode in on.
Leftist liberal groups need to get their butts in gear and feed THEIR hungry.......
Demand. That’s a this garbgae knows how to do.
I know Mexicans all too well, trust me. I’m proud to say I despise them.
Hey that’s great!
You know it’s a crisis when Hispanics demand to be allowed to live in a country run by gringos.
