Tijuana Locals Assault Caravan Migrants, Threaten to Rip Them From Shelter

Via Billy


Hundreds of people fleeing violence from Central America were hit with punches, stones, and coffee. Migrants who have journeyed from Central America to this border city seeking refuge from violence back home have encountered unexpected violence and harassment here. More than 3,000 migrants have arrived in Tijuana since Wednesday—a rate of arrival that city officials say is without precedent in the history of the city known as the “City of Migrants.” The migrants formed part of the Central American caravan seeking political asylum in the U.S.

The caravan’s highly publicized arrival has generated a nationalist backlash from a segment of residents here that views the migrants as a threat to public safety, and as unwanted competition for jobs and public services.

  1. It's called territorial and has been around since man walked the
    Earth. You were not invited and all the invaders do is destroy
    somebody's way of life. Mexico should have stopped this
    invasion when the invader attempted to cross their border.
    If you or I crossed their border, they'd put us in prison.
    Seems Mexico knew they were just passing thru to the land of
    freebies and handouts. Act of war.

    2. Probably not. The mayor is demanding four million dollars
      from Mexico and for the army to come in.
