I heard the folks in the caravan made it to the
border. Funny how the news reporters before the election said they were "months away". The ones that made it to the border were either really motivated or they got Kenyan in them. Good thing Trump didn't dilly dally on sending folks to set up.

All early claims were that was where they were headed.
I also questioned it then. Folks in Texas will try to keep them out. Calif not so much they will welcome them with open arms since they are a sanctuary state.0 -

quote:Hundreds of people who arrived in Tijuana with the first wave of the migrant caravan planned to spend Wednesday night in a makeshift camp by the Pacific Ocean, steps from the tall border fence that separates Mexico and the United States. But those plans shifted in the evening, after local and state officials opened a temporary shelter ? and about 300 local residents gathered by the encampment to demand the migrants leave the upscale Playas de Tijuana neighborhood and go to the facility.
During a confrontation that lasted more than three hours, area residents sang the Mexican national anthem and waved Mexican flags. They chanted ?Mexico! Mexico!? each time a bus transporting migrants left the beach for the temporary shelter. Mostly women and children went to the shelters, while young men from the caravan said they were determined to stay together at the beach and await the estimated 2,000 more caravan members on their way to Tijuana.
Pushing, shoving, kicking and a couple of blows broke out between masses of residents and migrants, illuminated by the crescent moon and mobile light towers, set up by authorities on the beach on the U.S. side of the border. More than three dozen municipal and federal police watched, separating people and trying to prevent the situation from devolving into fistfights and chaos.
After midnight, residents assaulted journalists, injuring at least three, according to reporters on the scene.

By Thursday, the migrants had left the beach and joined hundreds of caravan members at a temporary shelter at the Benito Juarez sports complex. The complex has room for 3,000 people to sleep on thin mattresses on the floor of an indoor basketball court, in large, communal tents and in individual camping tents, according to a local official.
?The message to the migrant population is very clear,? Francisco Rueda G?mez, secretary-general of the state of Baja California. ?We are providing them with humanitarian support, health care and food, however the need to take into consideration the rules of the shelters so they can coexist in harmony with the local population.?
Mexican residents of Playas De Tijuana confronted Honduran migrants who had set up a makeshift camp at "Friendship Park" in Playas De Tijuana. The Mexican residents demanded that the the migrants leave the area and threaten the migrants if they did not leave. Federal and Municipal Mexican police kept both groups separated and some incidents of violence broke out throughout the night.
Rueda G?mez said it will cost about $4 million to care for the migrants for two months, including providing food and medical care. He said the state government can only afford to fund this work for 10 days at the most, so he has asked the federal government for support.
The violent night marks the latest in rising tensions as waves of migrants arrive in the border town south of San Diego, culminating a month-long journey across Mexico.
The conflict was foreshadowed earlier in the day at the beach. By the afternoon, two large groups of migrants ? a total of about 750 people ? had arrived in Tijuana. The city?s migrant shelters had limited space when the caravan arrived. A large portion of the migrants said they didn?t want to be separated, opting instead to sleep at the beach.
On Wednesday evening, city and state officials announced they were opening a temporary shelter at the Benito Juarez sports complex, where 360 migrants could sleep on thin mattresses in an indoor basketball court. They started offering buses from the beach to the shelter around 6 p.m.
Meanwhile, Playas de Tijuana residents marched through the neighborhood to call for security and demand the migrants go to the shelters.
By 8:30 p.m., hundreds of residents and migrants had congregated by the beach, with local residents demanding the immigrants leave the public space at the beach.
?This is not an appropriate place for them,? one local resident said. ?There are appropriate places for them.?
One Honduran migrant, Jairo Sorto, told residents that throughout their long journey through Mexico, people had welcome and supported them ? until now.
?We?ve walked across Mexico and not one state said, ?we don?t want immigrants in this country,?? Sorto said. He asked why area residents were treating the migrants differently.
The last bus left for the temporary shelter around 11 p.m., leaving about 200 locals and about 100 migrants gathered by the beach. Some migrants tried to sleep through the commotion, sprawled on patches of grass, with blankets pulled over their heads.
As the conflict intensified, Irineo Mujica, an immigrant activist who helps organize migrant caravans, said the migrants still at the beach ? and the ones en route to Tijuana ? wouldn?t go to the shelters. He referred to them as ?jails? with strict curfews. He said he was concerned that non-governmental organizations wouldn?t be allowed into the shelters, making it harder for the migrants to remain organized as one collective.
?For this reason ? because this is oppression ? we prefer to be in the streets, in the cold, rather than in a jail,? Mujica said.
There are at least three separate migrant caravans snaking their way through Mexico. Nearly 900 people from the first caravan arrived in Tijuana this week and on Wednesday night, local and state officials estimated 2,000 more were on their way. Several hundred of those 2,000 arrived Thursday morning, according to local reports. A second caravan started arriving in Mexico City Tuesday and as of Wednesday, a third caravan was traveling through Veracruz, on the eastern side of Mexico.
Rueda G?mez, with the Baja California government, said Tijuana?s migrant shelters currently have space for 700 migrants, in addition to the 3,000 spots at the sports complex.
Gustavo Magallanes, who oversees migrant affairs for the state of Baja California, said the arrival of the caravans in Tijuana is not a humanitarian crisis. The challenge, he said, is that so many people are arriving in such a short period of time. On top of that, he said, there are limited resources available for the migrants, as state and local governments are nearing the end of their fiscal years.
Seems the Mexican People took matters into their own Hand to get them out of their Neighborhood.0 -

Do you suppose it might be possible that those folks JUST WANTED THEM TO GET OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD?
"Oh- you're headed for America? Bueno! Let us help you get there! Vaya con Dios!"0 -

Yes, until you (them) end up,on their doorstep. Things change a little bit then.
As has been said previously, let Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, etc etc, agree to house a multitude of these illegal immigrants on their Estates, and provide for all their means. If not, then STFU.0 -
