For those who remain, their chances of legally entering the U.S. diminished this week after the Trump administration and Mexico’s government announced Thursday that immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. will be forced to wait in Mexico while their cases are reviewed —a process that can often take well over a year.
So as authorities in both countries continue to debate policy with no long-term solution in sight, many migrants are hunkering down for months, or possibly years, in a purgatory of makeshift accommodations and spotty services.
Coello, who said he had organized committees of migrants along the entire caravan route, has focused on helping resolve the day-to-day issues that arise when hundreds of men, women and children are packed into close quarters with old pipes and little privacy or security. Toilets are clogged. Showers are inoperable. Belongings disappear from tents when people leave to hunt for work.
Anxiety and misinformation spread quickly here. Some residents say that government workers have pilfered donations and that certain people get priority access to the handouts. Others buzz about false reports that the United States is letting migrants in to work temporarily. Coello said it’s hard to keep people informed without reliable internet access or regular updates from officials.
What’s more, he said, the humanitarian arm of Mexico’s immigration services agency hasn’t distributed donations of clothes, shoes, tents and blankets because officials wanted to ensure that the items would go to those in need and not be resold. Going forward, he believes, the migrants must fend more for themselves.

Haven’t heard from these people in awhile.
Man, these assholes need a sidewinder missile down their gullets. Sick and tired of this sh(t
Some one has to pay for these derelicts’ squatting, and I hope it breaks them, the only way every party will learn their lessons.
Sounds like Tijuana, all right...
Just the caliber of new prospective citizens the Marxists are looking for.
Go Home!
We Do Not Want You Here!
We already have enough of your compatriots here illegally.
Go home! Vamanos! Amscray!
Oh boo hoo.
Illegal aliens trying to force entry into their free benefits heaven, which they will certainly corrupt and bring their gangs and worthless culture have to wait until their DemCommie sponsors get the LeftCommie judges to act.
To hell with these parasites. I hope they have a very horrible time of it.
I wonder if they thinks things will be different in the barrio on this side of the border.
Drive by media.
Toilets? Who needs stinking toilets? Mexico is a toilet.
True story. Took a few French HS students to THJ a few years ago. We crossed the border and i headed into the city. I asked them if they wanted me to drive around. They rolled down the windows and said, uh no. Took them out to the beaches for lobster and and fresh air, then back to San Diego. I live 50 miles from TJ and haven’t been in 20 years, since the school kids found 8 decapitated bodies in the years when they showed up for class. But been to lobster village on the coast half a dozen time.,
After about another month, the weather will begin to get hotter there. In about four months, it will be getting hot.
Looks like we have a “Palestinian problem”
Many have gone looking for the ‘Mexican Blackbird’, a trail between Mexico and Ft. Sumner, New Mexico, explored by Billy The Kid and his outlaw gang in the film, ‘Young Guns II’.
They need to go back to their home country.
