Another 3,300 Caravan Migrants Arrive in Tijuana, Says Mexico

Nearly 3,300 additional Central American caravan migrants arrived at the Mexican northern border city of Tijuana on Saturday, authorities in Mexico stated.

Approximately 3,292 migrants are expected to arrive in the border city of Tijuana today according to the El Instituto Nacional de Migración known as INM according to local media reports. These are in addition to those previously reported arrivals.

The migrant caravan with approximately 3,300 migrants was expected to arrive in Tijuana this morning according to the Mexican government agency tasked with tracking human migration (INM). The caravan reportedly traveled north through the state of Sinaloa yesterday toward the northern border state of Sonora. The group took nearly the same route as previous caravan groups, officials stated.

According to the INM, there are a total of 2,779 migrants in Tijuana not including Saturday’s 3292 scheduled arrivals. There are an additional 657 in the city of Mexicali which borders the U.S. city of Calexico, California. Another group of migrants in the central Mexican state of Queretaro consists of 3,036 migrants. All these migrants are part of the original group that crossed into Mexico approximately one month ago which then consisted of 9,664 — a majority from the country of Honduras.

The Honduran ambassador to Mexico, Alden Rivera has been monitoring the caravan’s travels through Mexico and said that approximately 5,500 were from his country. He advised that several of his countrymen were suffering from respiratory infections. The ambassador announced that a mobile consulate would be set up in order to provide official documents at no cost and to ensure that Mexican authorities were providing proper humanitarian aid.

Ambassador Rivera said, “We do not have an economy that allows us (to provide aid) … it sounds somewhat irresponsible because they are Hondurans, and, in the end, we should take charge and be responsible for Hondurans anywhere in the world,” he explained.

Rivera said he will monitor authorities in Mexico and the United States to ensure that due process for his countrymen is respected as required in the country they eventually decide to stay in. He also called on his countrymen to respect the laws of Mexico and the United States in order to have a great possibility of obtaining asylum or refugee status.

Breitbart Texas reported on the movement of this migrant caravan which involved transportation provided by buses being escorted by state and federal police. Breitbart Texas has also reported that Mexican citizens began protesting the migrant caravan’s arrival in Tijuana. These protests turned violent, leading law enforcement to separate the migrants from the demonstrators.

Local law enforcement sources said many in the caravan are reporting that they were not told when they left central America that they would be encountering problems in crossing into the United States. This was also reported by local media outlet El Universal.

Turn them all around. At gunpoint, if necessary. Send that faggot Soros with them.

The Mexican government had a couple THOUSAND MILES to turn these sons a bitches around and they DIDN'T. And don't tell me that they didn't know we put troops on the border and President Trump said NONE of them were going to get asylum if they jumped the border illegally.

This is MEXICO'S mess. I hope they freakin' enjoy it. We'll see if they start blocking them at THEIR southern border now, when it's EASY.

They should have been loading them on buses and taking them BACK DOWN SOUTH, not north.

Nobody is going to believe we mean business until we MEAN BUSINESS. This is one of those times where talk/bluffing doesn't work. The US' hand has been called. We can play our cards or fold. As much as I am hoping for the former, if I was a betting man I'd bet on the latter.

Right. Now let's look at the reality minus the posturing.

Fully-armed and supplied military personnel are going to fire on unarmed civilians if they continue to advance. Let that sink in. It isn't like we even have a wall the Dem's have obstructed for 2 years for the troops to use as a main deterrent.

Do you REALLY see that happening?

As I said before....declare Martial Law along the border, freeing up the military to take action to arrest or repeal.

That act in itself would make the response legal by our Laws and Constitution. National Security is at risk.

You're missing the point and I'm not trying to be a jerk. I'm the token militant jarhead here, remember? You tell ME to hold the line, and the line WILL be held. That border would be so wired with electronics and claymores the lizards and snakes would be afraid to cross.

HOWEVER, that decision is given to people who actually care about public/World opinion and you surely don't think ANYTHING done to stop these caravans is going to be painted in a good light or even just truthfully and matter-of-factly?

I've been watching Trump paint himself into corners he's managed to get out of, and others paint him into corners he's gotten himself out of for 2 years. I have to admit he's pulled it off so far for longer than I ever expected. I just don't see a way out of this one. His bluff is being called.

They've bullied there way through Mexico, assaulting police the entire way. They have no reason to believe it's going to be any different here.

Who is going to fire the first shot?

I don't doubt that old Marines word. If he says this isn't a stunt, I believe him.

Will troops "open fire" on people? Well, President Trump made it very clear that if troops start getting pelted with rocks and such to consider that an armed threat, and we will shoot back. I believe him too. I also can tell you that if someone threw a big rock and hit me in the face, I'd consider that an attack with the intent to do grave bodily harm, and I'd shoot someone's ass point blank, so I would expect our troops to do the same thing.

Will our troops just SHOOT people, willy nilly, that aren't armed but just want to rush the border and cross? I would expect not, but, if they can't detain them right then and there, they'll run them down. I don't think they'd get far. If more troops are needed to get the job done, I expect we'll send more troops.

How did all that go over publicity-wise and policy-wise after Kent State? Those troops were in the right and opened fire in self-defense because they were being assaulted by hurled objects.

Didn't matter a bit they were in the right. The troops and the government are vilified to this day and the incident referred to as a "massacre".
