Full title: Tijuana mayor says $30,000-a-day funding for migrants is about to run out
Resources running low as migrants flood Tijuana. City officials say they're worried about money running low and resources running scarce.... The [Tijuana] mayor is increasingly under strain from the growing number... he expects funds supporting them to run out by Friday.
.... The city's treasurer [said] Tijuana has been spending around $30,000 a day on the caravan arrivals.
We wont compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana, Gastelum said... We wont raise taxes tomorrow to pay for todays problem..... there are around 6,000 migrants there, 4,000 of which are men....
Mexicos new president Andrés Manual López Obrador is set to begin his administration this weekend and Gastelum is hoping the federal government can step in and provide more resources...[snip]
He also asked the Trump administration to chip in at least $20 billion on development projects to help create jobs in Central America....[snip]

All joking aside, this is a big problem for these border towns when 1000s show up and park
They dont want to be seen heartless so they tend to these folks some
The state doesnt have legit funding to deal with this sort of thing much like when they have earthquakes and so forth
The mordida complex and cartel wealth are where most of the money is in Mexico besides Pemex
I doubt Mexico has much FEMA funding sitting around for stuff like this
And Mexico City views these almost Yanqui border towns as a pain anyhow and not home to true Castillo Mexico
Just compare how the average middle class citizen in Mexico City looks compared to these upper Sonoran or Baja denizens
Mexico City and Guadalajara look down on these indios
This mayor isnt lying when he says he aint got the money
Id like to see a link of that 20 billion in remittances which I think means money sent home
I honestly dont know...
I do know Mexico population growth is stagnant due to emigration and some rural areas have loss in male population due to it ....Oaxaca and Michoacán and Chiapas and Guerrero
USA foreign aid to what well call,Central America from Panama to to the Rio Grande is total 640,000,000
About 20% in military aid
Guatemala and Mexico account for half that figure and Panama is third largest recipient

Mexicans In The U.S. Are Sending Home More Money Than Ever
(snip) --- Migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean are sending more money to their families back home than ever before.
These annual "remittances" as they're called by analysts topped $69 billion in 2016, according to central bank data compiled in a new report by the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington, D.C.-based think-tank. The money has been a lifeline for the national economies of many countries in the region since at least the 1990s, when Manuel Orozco, a political scientist who authored the report, first began tracking remittances.
They climbed steadily since then, only to plummet when the Great Recession hit the U.S. economy in 2008. But they began to rise again in 2012. The 2016 tally is the highest amount on record and an increase of nearly 8 percent over 2015.
About 40 percent of the money goes to just one country Mexico practically all of it sent by migrants in the United States.

year old figure from CNN Business says:
“Mexicans sent home $26.1 billion from January to November 2017,”

A better source:
https://howmuch.net/articles/outgoing-remittances-from-usa
Migrants combined send $138 Billion out of the USA
Mexico $28.1 Billion
Honduras, Guatemala, & El Salvador - $15 Billion
China 15 Billion
“That works out to 5k per invader per day.”
Ever had a basic arithmetic lesson?
