Mayor of Mexico border city dubbed 'Tijuana Trump' blasts caravan migrants, calls them 'bums' and 'pot smokers'
Several weeks ago a Mexican federal judge ordered Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum to stop being hostile to migrants on the caravan that started in Honduras.
The ruling bans Tijuana officials from issuing statements contrary to the protection of and respect for migrant people."
Gastelum, a 65-year-old attorney, is not listening.
Called Tijuana Trump, Gastelum repeatedly has expressed his objections to the caravan and called for its organizers to be identified and prosecuted for taking advantage of desperate people and putting their lives at risk.
What most rankles immigration advocacy groups are his characterizations of caravan migrants -- thousands of whom have arrived in Tijuana, overwhelming its shelters and other resources as invaders and criminals.
In local interviews, Gastelum, who occasionally has worn a Make Tijuana Great Again hat, said the caravan included pot smokers, bums and bad people.

Well, the mayor of Tijuana is smart. The caravan is very bad for business in Tijuana. My bet it the US citizens are avoiding it as much as possible.
The Mexican communist government will always privately side with the street rabble. You know? Viva la Revolution. Headshake.
Publicly the Mexican Government will try to avoid openly saying that. Trump can really hurt them if they provoke him.

Gastelum repeatedly has expressed his objections to the caravan and called for its organizers to be identified and prosecuted for taking advantage of desperate people and putting their lives at risk. He's right on this - it's corrupt wealthy 'elites' behind this horror. The people financing this should be exposed, arrested and fined and/or jailed.

I think they should start making “Make Canada great again” hats with Harper’s face on it.
