TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Thousands of Central American migrants spent weeks traveling north through Mexico in caravans, walking and hitching rides when possible, only for many to give up hope and turn back when they met resistance at the U.S. border.

As rain poured down on a former music venue in Tijuana that holds a diminished crowd of 2,500 migrants, Jessica, 18, grabbed her feverish 1-year-old daughter and took her inside to a friend while she figured out what to do with her broken tent.
Jessica had traveled from El Salvador, and said she and her husband were waiting in the Barretal camp for the right moment to try to cross the border illegally.

Think of American children.
Yes, what good would it do. We would be labeled White racists and arrested.
No, either our immigration service or the military or both will have to step up.
Yes.
American children matter more. I still want illegal children to go home - and with their parents. I don’t want to accept any of them to our country. Breaking in should NOT be rewarded. I with you on this jmacusa.
My only regret was referring to the caravan children as ‘brats’... they might be wonderful - might grow up to be the kind of people who work to make their own countries better - OR to ‘stand in line’ if they try to come here some day.
We've been able to accept immigrants because we were assimilating them - but our democrat overlords don't want them to become Americans - they want them to bring the hellhole with them. No thanks. I don't want them here.
