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 won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana,” Gastelum said... “We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem.”.... there are around 6,000 migrants there, 4,000 of which are men....

Mexico’s 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]

That's our stance, that we're getting dunned for BTW.

Ask the organizers, the Hollywood crowd, Soros for the money.

Or even better: just sink the ship.

Might spring for funding transport home for those who want to go back, providing they agree not to rinse and repeat, but thats about all.

We’ll apply the $20 billion towards the $200 billion friggin illegals cost us each year. If the illegals want work, they should stop pooping on the lettuce and strawberries.

“”He also asked the Trump administration to chip in at least $20 billion on development projects to help create jobs in Central America””

Was that supposed to be a joke? If we could get $20 billion, we’d build the wall, you idiot! Give it to one or more two bit countries in Central America? He has to be nuts! Where on earth is it written that the United States has to come to the rescue of all the countries so poorly run that their people resort to such as we see pouring north to our borders?

On second thought the $20 billion will no doubt materialize after the dems take over in January and will then be available to fulfill his request.

Not a nickel to Central America for jobs. Development money will be stolen and not one permanent job will be created. They will have to deal with their poverty on their own just like the rest of the third world.

Mexico is asking us to give $20 billion to create jobs in Central America? ....dreamers, dream on. $20 billion is sorely needed to keep drugs, criminals and parasites out of the U.S.A with a Huge Wall. $24.3 billion was spent on the 'Big Dig' - a 30 year Boston highway project. Congress: "Why was Boston's traffic problem more important than our national sovereignty and safety?"

Partner, you hit a homerun on every statement.

The DemonRat party is so out of control for the past 30 years in spending.

President Trump is going to demand a lot of things from the DemonRat party members and we all know who will come out on top.

We didn’t let them march (and get driven) unimpeded across 2500 miles of Mexico to get deposited in Tijuana. It’s not our problem. They need to take this up with their own government.

Trump needs to ask Mexico to pay the USA 10 Trillion dollars to pay for all the crap they keep sending us.
