    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.

    USA USA USA USA!

    We do not want them either!

    Mexico needs to load them up on buses and send them HOME!

    Mexican citizens need to rise up and demand they are sent back!

    They are trashing your country, stealing from you...same as they do here!

    Mexico is not their home.

    USA is not their home!

    NO PAPERS, NO ENTRY, NO RIGHTS

    NO ASYLUM AT OUR BORDER

    NO UAC'S, NO WOMEN, NO CHILDREN, NO MEN...VAMANOS!

    NOW MEXICO KNOWS HOW WE FEEL...DO NOT DUMP THEM ON US!!!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
