Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum said Thursday that caravan migrants arriving by the hundreds are no longer welcome, an increasingly common sentiment among residents of the Mexican border city.
Gastelum described the caravan of Central American migrants as a “horde” that has been infiltrated by criminals who now threaten the community, in an interview with Milenio Television.
“Tijuana is a city of immigrants, but we don’t want them in this way,” the mayor, a member of the conservative National Action Party, said. “It was different with the Haitians, they carried papers, they were in order. It wasn’t a horde, pardon the expression.”
Gastelum called on the Mexican government to deport the caravan migrants as soon as possible.
“You’re going to tell me we have to respect human rights,” he said. “But human rights are for law-abiding humans.”
The mayor’s comments reflected anger among many Tijuana residents at the increasing number of caravan migrants who have been streaming into the city since last weekend. About 3,000 were there as of Thursday night, and thousands more are expected to arrive over the coming weeks.

Do you think Catholic Charities knows the women and children are being raped? Or is that why they’re in on this racket?
No only 30 were processed Friday and they came to the right entrance...
Mexican hypocrites! Pinche hipocritas! You bastards have been pushing your way into my country waving your damn flag and demanding everything under the sun. Now all of a sudden somebody does it to you and you don’t like it. Bastardos!
The real thing pissing the Mexicans off is that the $30 billion their people pull out of this nations economy and send back as remittances is the only thing keeping Mexico afloat. They don’t want anyone else cutting in on that. As much as I admire Trump and still support him he probably wasn’t aware just how dire the situation is. If we seal the border completely and Mexico’s economy collapse’s there will be a tsunami of people pouring out of Mexico into the US. It would take an entire division of troops with armor and air support to stop it.
Affects the donkey shows ya know.
It could be a translation error, but that is not the accepted definition of human rights. Human rights are innate rights that governments (and theoretically all people) are obliged to respect regardless of any outside classification (race, gender, criminality etc). They descend in part in common law at least as far back as the Code of Hammurabi.
I would beg to differ, to an extent. Yes, all governments are obliged to respect human rights, but when you engage in illegal activity you lose your rights. Now, it’s true that you are entitled to due process to establish your illegal activity as a fact, but his point assumed it as such. Human beings have a right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” for example, but convicts clearly do not.
Deport them where? To the USA?
Looks like Tiajuana’s economy just might be tied to us! Not good to piss us off or the locals.Can’t wait to see how the drivebys cover this one. There is only one thing they can do,ignore the story.
Tijuana is a thriving city and profits greatly from a daily stream of American wallets - said wallets might not spend so much with them “harboring” all them illegals....
Please, PDJT continue to kick their A$$
Ah, but said which time...

I think the alcalde’s getting some guff...
Send Soros to Hungary or Russia for a vacation permanently. Both countries know how to deal with scum.
Does anyone know if this is true?
If so it would seem the only persons who could apply in the US (via land) would be from Mexico or Canada.
.You seem to be laboring under the delusion that the United States government obeys the rule of law.
But, I have no delusions about our eroding rule of law and the wide spread acceptance of it from the Beltway to the 'Heathen Land'. However, I still don't know where the lines of who must obey and who can ignore the law are drawn. It seems largely political and somewhat influenced by skin color. It's a blurry call.
Well, they're NOT welcome here either. These men need to go back home and reform their own damn hellholes.
No, as someone above suggested, the drive-by media will declare this a “humanitarian crisis” and all who cry out for order will be declared — incessantly — heartless.
