Small group breaks from caravan to press within 500 feet of U.S. border in Tijuana
San Diego Union-Tribune ^

Posted on 11/23/2018 6:02:22 AM PST by bryan999

A small faction of the larger group of 6,219 Central American migrants in Tijuana slowly and peacefully pushed within 500 feet of the U.S. border Thursday while armed Mexican federal police held a barrier near the pedestrian crossing.

Asking for more humane conditions in the overflowing Benito Juarez shelter and trying to present themselves to United States immigration authorities for asylum, the group carried white flags as they marched from the migrant camp to the foot of the U.S. pedestrian bridge, a distance of about five city blocks.

The migrants have been camped out in muddy and cramped conditions at an open-air sports arena turned into a makeshift shelter. They said they awoke Thanksgiving Day hungry, as rain worsened the already unsanitary conditions in the packed shelter.

“There are sick children here, and we are cold and hungry,” said Carlos Lopez, a Honduran who was leading the group. Lopez added it was inappropriate to shelter the women and children outside. “The whole world is watching what is happening here.”

Tijuana municipal authorities have said they are unequipped to handle the growing numbers in the caravan.

They never should have subjected women and children to make such a march. Why didn’t they organize to protest conditions in their own country? NO to an invading army.

If the sick children die, the problem will be eliminated

Humane? There is no humanity necessary to those who have forfeited their rights by leaving their homes

Every night a few of these invaders need to disappear and be found the next day hanging from overpasses. The cartels know how to send a message. We need to co-opt one of them.

6,219 Central American migrants???

How can they get an accurate count when they can not count Killery supporters?

Well then, perhaps we should permit entry to any chefs who may be properly credentialed under a critical skills theme?
(Pelosi or Feinstein could make that happen.)

Accurate count? They’ve received so much practice counting ballots they can count the illegals accurately. (sarc)

If it’s a march, why is the MSM referring to them as “caravan riders”?
