Tensions have risen in Tijuana as members of the Central American migrant caravan continue to arrive at the Mexican border city, while US troops continue to tighten security along the frontier.
On Sunday, anti-caravan protesters chanted: “Out Hondurans, we don’t want you here”, “Tijuana first” and “Long live Mexico”, and waved Mexican flags and signs reading “no to the invasion” and “no more migrants”.
The group, which at its height numbered about 300, gathered in front of a statue of the Aztec warrior Cuauhtémoc before making their way to a sports complex serving as a temporary shelter to about 2,500 migrants from the caravan.

When they reached the shelter, they were met by a line of riot police. The standoff lasted several hours, with the crowd throwing water and beer cans at officers before eventually dissipating.
While many have welcomed the migrants – as they have the thousands of others who have come to the city over recent years – some Tijuana residents have expressed hostility to the caravan, amid intense media coverage and aggressive rhetoric from the US president, Donald Trump.
At the sports complex, the protests were met with a mix of fear and resignation.
“I’m not afraid of them, this is just racism,” said Alonzo Castillo, 37, a construction worker from Honduras.
Others were more fearful. The protest came just days after anti-immigrant protesters harassed, threatened, and hurled rocks at a group of about 100 migrants who were sleeping by the beach.

Hacer Tijuana grande otra vez!
“Racism!” Hahahahahahahahaha!!! Yeah, those Mexicans are racist against Hispanics!!! How’s it feel, Mexico? Oh, the hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a Mexican switchblade.
Who keep lying to them and organizing them? They are not being told the truth.
Gee...
How ... “el-racist-o” of them....
Oh, wait. It’s OK if THEY say it.
This thread would mean nothing without Whitey’s input.
I’d ask you to drop the stalking bit right now.
Understood?
Trump changing rules of engagement for border troops. Giving them new authority.
What an unexpected turn of events.
Hope this isn’t an organized effort so the “caravan” folks can say that Mexico is hostile to me and the USA simply must give me relief by allowing me in.
I love it!
“Make Tijuana No Longer A Stinking Sh*thole” is too long to fit on a baseball cap. On a sombrero, maybe
I just learned today I am 1/2024th Mayan
This is not going to end well for the migrant folks....they had better carry their collective arses back to where ever they came from yo.....
.
In Tijuana, they’re doing the job Americans haven’t done and probably won’t do with sufficient unanimity to make it stick. Now that’s what I call out-sourcing!
Stalking? I invited you in to comment on a subject on which we argued, but at least made a few jokes together at the end signifying a setting-aside of acrimony. So you don’t care to comment, fine. But “stalking”? What a ridiculous accusation. I haven’t got time for this crap. Don’t comment then.
My hero!
This is all that had to happen. Plug the “safety valve” which allows these countries to export their poverty to us.

The Fake News is showing old footage of people climbing over our Ocean Area Fence. This is what it really looks like - no climbers anymore under our Administration!
Thank you, President Donald J. Trump.
