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 have carried their sick, cold, and hungry children away from their original homes? Adults who do that are worse than animals. Animals treat their offspring better than that!
You aren’t fooling anyone. We know you aren’t French.
Hahahahhaa. That's pretty clever.
Inappropriate? Is it appropriate to invite yourselves in, and with a mighty bum-rush to violate the borders of other people's countries?
This clown, who wouldn't even know the implications of the word, "appropriate", gets to lecture others' sense of propriety?
We (USA taxpayers) already spend $135 billion a year on illegal immigrants.
Deep State Media salivating as they await bloodshed.
Slimey bunch in New York City studios.
“The whole world is watching what is happening here.”
That is true. And if the caravan successfully enters the United States, it will only be a vanguard for millions to follow.
OMGoodness! ROFLOLOLOLx1000 Funniest comment I have read today!
I may move to Honduras.. should be about empty by now.
It’s even colder in the United States.
Is flying white flags an admission that they are in a war style action and seeking to negotiate the terms of the action. What if, when “captured” they become POWs and not refugees?
They’re being coached, financed, supported, transported, and encouraged.
If we have to occupy the Mexican side to stop this Mexican enabled invasion, let’s roll.
These invaders should have thought about conditions they would face before they started trekking north. We have no obligation to take them and shouldn’t. This invasion must be stopped. Mexico needs to build there on wall on their Southern Border and we need to build ours.
The UN, catholic charities and Mexico made such a big deal in helping them get 2500 miles, feeding, housing and clothing them along with some transport and medical help. Mexico, UNHCR and Catholics are mainly responsible for them being stuck in a large mob to slowly submit asylum claims, but they see it’s the US’s fault. Time for the 3 entities that were so smug getting them there now take over the after care needed for processing. Mexico can hit up their budget and the church and UN for help.

Lock and load boys.
“We have no idea who they are,” Zuniga said. “Also, we have a lot of poverty here in Mexico already. We’ve been working hard, fighting every day to have a better life, to have a better quality of life, to have more jobs … and we don’t feel it’s fair that our government is allowing these people to come in and giving them benefits we don’t even have as Mexicans.”
Every dollar spent on illegal immigrants should be deducted from money allocated to US citizen welfare and other entitlements. We do not have an unlimited supply of money.
You would only have to shoot a few of them per day to put an end to this nonsense.
