Around 400 migrants about to cross into San Diego are refusing the advice of immigration attorneys, who say the asylum-seekers risk a lengthy detention, or being separated from their families, before eventual deportation back to Central America.
Kenia Elizabeth Avila, 35, appeared shaken after the volunteer attorneys told her Friday that temperatures may be cold in temporary holding cells and that she could be separated from her three children, ages 10, 9 and 4.
But she in said an interview that returning to her native El Salvador would be worse. She fled for reasons she declined to discuss. -AP
After crossing through Mexicali earlier last week, the migrants been gathering in Tijuana on Tuesday. So many reportedly showed up that the shelter they were occupying was overflowing by Wednesday. Most members of the group are from Guatemala, El Salvador or Honduras, and are fleeing their homes, they say, because of death threats from local gangs, or political persecution.
That, according to many, is worth dealing with US authorities and deportation for the small chance they might be granted asylum.
“If they’re going to separate us for a few days, that’s better than getting myself killed in my country,” said Avila.
“We are the bearers of horrible news,” said Nora Phillips, a Los Angeles immigration attorney while taking a break from legal workshops in Tijuana where around 20 lawyers are offering free information and advice. “That’s what good attorneys are for.”

Who do you think pulls Francis’ strings?
The American People can’t take this anymore.
Whoever made our immigration laws needs to be.....
...held accountable.
Close the bridge to San Diego, indefinitely for safety inspections and repairs. Could take several years since you would have to send out bids on a competitive basis and then screw with that choosing system for another 6 months to a year.
Gee, MM, sounds like a plan to me. MM
Few understand how insidious this “caravan movement” is.
Their goal is not too have these “immigrants” admitted as asylum seekers.
Their goal is to establish a Salafist funded UN refugee camp just South of the Mexican border, to establish a base for drug gangs and jihadists to infiltrate , destabilize and attack the United States.Mexico is complicit.
You got it. The truth, it’s simple. ‘Refugee Camps’ are the recruitment centers.
