Good info. We were there a week ago, just when the first bus of LGBT+ showed up. No love lost amongst the locals. They still remember the 9-11 border closing and it hurt the local economy greatly.
The reason why TJ is being targeted is multiple.
First, TJ is the furthest from both WashDC and from Mexico City for chains of command.
Secondly, weather forecasts. Texas just dropped 20 degrees cooler than TJ. Warm winter in Baja at present.
PS. When we came through, the caravans weren’t all coming from the east. Many were coming up the Baja, so they had to cross the Sea of Cortez somewhere. Are they coming from the Ensenada Cruise Ship ports? Are the Chinese assisting in their shipping?
There are other strategic reasons that they marched hundreds of miles further to Tijuana.
1. They always had this plan, make no doubt about it.
2. Optics- they wanted all, or nearly all to converge at one point.
3. They targeted the California border because the groups driving this caravan are connected with Catholic Legal Immigration Clinic and their organization is heavily entrenched in Cali. Their related ‘non-profits’ would profit quite handsomely from the impending settlement of the incoming horde.
4. The Central Americans prefer to go there and will get more free stuff including free comprehensive medical care on top of all the rest.
5. The 9th Circus Court of Appeals and a multitude of Cali leftist judges will resist any constitutional and legal means to stop them. Note that Texas lies within the 5th Circuit of the Appellate Courts.
