Tijuana's mayor defiantly slammed his country's federal government for failing to provide adequate aid for the migrant caravan and vowed not to bankrupt his city to care for the thousands now massed near the U.S. border.
Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum on Thursday asked for international groups like the United Nations to step up aid in response to the more than 5,000 migrants who have arrived in the city over the past two weeks in an attempt to reach the U.S. border. Gastelum called the situation a humanitarian crisis and claimed the Mexican federal government had not helped the city deal with the massive influx of migrants.
“They have categorically omitted and not complied with their legal obligations,” he said during a press conference on Thanksgiving Day, the Arizona Republic reported. “So we’re now asking them and international humanitarian aid groups to bring in and carry out humanitarian assistance.”
Meanwhile, a small group of Central American migrants marched to a border crossing on Thursday to demand better conditions in shelters housing them.
The group of about 150 migrants carrying white flags that read, “La Paz y Dios” or “Peace and God” separated from the larger caravan and inched within 500 feet from the U.S., the San Diego Union-Tribune reported Thursday.
They criticized the conditions at the shelters and said they deserved better.
“There are sick children here, and we are cold and hungry,” said Carlos Lopez, a Honduran who was leading the group. “The whole world is watching what is happening here.”
Municipal authorities have acknowledged they are ill-equipped to handle the growing number of migrants arriving in the city.

They’re already there...
Busses going South
Amen. These people have a positive talent for making me hate them.
I do not blame the mayor of TJ. It is not the responsibility of the TJ taxpayers to support the people of other countries who forced their way into Mexico. The Mexican govt needs to charter a bunch of buses and send these people home. It would have been wise of them to have realized that President Trump meant business, and that he is not going to let these people in the US.
So Carlos Lopez, the organizer behind the caravan, is blaming others for this disaster for which he was responsible.
That free bus ride from Georgie wasn't worth it, was it?
Free bus ride Should be
A Round Trip!
That’s exactly how Mexicans act. There’s a lot of blame shifting, finger-pointing - but underneath it all they’re working together to achieve the same desired outcome.
For the moment, too many of them are coming with the intention of looting and reconquering the SW. The dream of Aztlan lives and with the aid of fifth column organizations in the US, the invaders are steadily advancing in their desire for conquest.
nothing but role out the red carpet...what did he expect?
Further the 'chartered' buses are bringing them 'to' the border....
They were told they couldn’t continue their journey without first applying for refugee status in Mexico....tey said no and asked the officials to let them pass...officials refused that request, scuffles broke out and the migrants then refused to board vehicles to be taken to immigration offices........However, an hour later they relented and agreed to accompany the officials to an INM facility in Tapachula.
“There are sick children here, and we are cold and hungry”
I don’t think there’s a single Freeper
here that would subject their children
to a thousand mile march, no food, and
criminal elements. The lack of foresight
goes against everything a caring parent
would do.
Complaining that they're tired of waiting....
Scum.
“We’re so close, said one Honduran.... but Trump doesn’t want us ..." he says. “We can’t get across because, supposedly, they’ll shoot us all.”
Word of the new use-of-force guidelines was quick to reach the migrants at Little Padres Park, causing fear and panic among some......“They’ll kill us all just to stop the caravan,” Ramirez said.
