TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Thousands of Central American migrants are digging in for the long haul at a filthy, overcrowded sports complex in sight of the United States, while a small number have opted to return home after clashes with border forces dimmed hopes of crossing.

The bedraggled men, women and children of a caravan of mostly Hondurans began cramming into the complex in Tijuana about three weeks ago. They now number more than 6,000 in a space the city government first prepared for a third as many.

The overcrowding has also helped illness spread. There have been multiple cases of respiratory illnesses, lice and chicken pox, according to three city officials who declined to be named because they were not authorized to speak to the media. (Emphasis added.)

No different than the "Occupy" encampments. This monstrosity is turning TJ into a shit hole and rapidly descending into total filth and squalor. Eventually the Mexican authorities will have to forcibly clear it, just as US authorities had to with the "Occupy" encampments.

For a god laugh, read the comments. They all sound like FReepers wrote them.

I suspect that a lot of the recent outbreaks of mysterious ailments or other diseases that used to be eradicated in the US were carried across the border by illegals, but the media will never report that possibility.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there have been many deaths within these groups over the past few weeks and I suspect the reason we aren’t hearing about it is because it’s being kept quiet due to cause of death. Just a suspicion.....or maybe it’s my paranoia.....again.

Yahoo does not seem able to report honestly about this crisis on the border

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened this week to "permanently" close the U.S.-Mexican border if Mexico does not deport the Central Americans gathered in Tijuana

I do not recall President ever saying anything about permanently closing the border for this reason. Storming the border, yes but it’s up to Mexico if they want to keep the caravans in their country or not.

With that many people, an outbreak of cholera or typhoid fever would not be unheard of. Go home, we don’t want your germs!

“...Health Officials have little to go on and are puzzled by the appearance of these serious diseases that previously, have been only seen in warmer, more tropical climates.” ... “sources close to the investigation (who wish to remain annonymous) point to global warming...”

....... read the comments. They all sound like FReepers wrote them.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I read a bunch of them ... not a SINGLE one I read was a bleeding heart liberal bemoaning the circumstances of the caravan. All were generally of the opinion they should have stayed home or they are in Mexico & their current situation by choice or USA needs to stand firm about not letting them in or ‘all of the above’, etc.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for people who want to enter this country illegally? Am I supposed to feel sorry for immigrants who care not one whit to become American citizens, preferring instead to wave their flag at our gates and throw rocks at our agents? Am I supposed to open up my wallet and give them up to $3400/month for just storming our borders while US citizens have equal needs? Sorry, Paco, go home and, if you still want to become a true American, go through the legal process that our laws dictate.

Sounds like people are waking up to reality.

There's hope for this country.

Many people have been praying for evil and the works of the dems to be exposed, and it is in ways I never would have imagined.

That is what it takes to wake people out of their stupor.

Thank youi President Trump and THANK YOU, God!

I would like to see the camp’s kitchen set up a day’s bus/truck ride back down the road. Every day, move the kitchen further south. If the camp’s inhabitants want to eat they will get on the transportation.

Odd that they invade......fiercely waving the Honduran flag......but consider it "punishment" to be sent back there.
