U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports pedestrian crossings are open at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, north and southbound.

San Diego's Metropolitan Transit System is also reporting Blue Line services are back to normal.
UPDATE: 2:56 p.m., Nov. 25, 2018
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials closed both the pedestrian and vehicle border crossings in San Ysidro Sunday as members of the migrant caravan in Tijuana marched toward the border, and some reportedly tried to enter the United States illegally.

Traffic northbound into the United States as well as southbound into Mexico had been stopped, CBP's San Diego office tweeted around 11:30 a.m.

CBP officials said additional personnel were deployed to the border Sunday morning in preparation for multiple planned demonstrations on both sides. Officials said they moved to close the border after some demonstrators tried to enter the U.S. through the San Ysidro Port of Entry's vehicle lanes.

"As the demonstrations on the Mexican side reached the border area, some members of the demonstration split off to head towards multiple locations along the border," the department's statement said. "Some attempted to enter the U.S. both directly east and west of the border crossing. These (are) attempts to illegally enter the U.S., and the response to them continue. Some attempted to illegally enter the U.S. through both the northbound and southbound vehicles lanes at the port of entry itself. Those persons were stopped and turned back to Mexico."

Caravan members began marching from their shelter at the Benito Juarez sports complex to Mexico's El Chaparral border crossing, Mexican news site Frontera reported. Videos posted to Twitter showed caravan members rushing past Mexican federal police who had been blocking them from getting too close to the border.

American authorities used tear gas and rubber bullets to keep members of the caravan back from the border fence, according to Brendan Cassidy, an organizer with the San Diego Migrant and Refugee Coalition, who was near the scene.

Cassidy's group planned to march to the border in San Ysidro to support the migrants Sunday, and he said members of the caravan were trying to meet up with demonstrators on the U.S. side when they were stopped.

"From folks on the other side, it appears like they were trying to march to El Chaparral and they got blocked by police," Cassidy told City News Service. "They were able to call the San Diego side and tell us what was going on."

Several media reports also said tear gas and flash-bang grenades were used by authorities on the U.S. side. Videos also showed some of the migrants throwing rocks across the border fence.

The Otay Mesa Port of Entry a few miles to the east remained open.

Northbound vehicle processing lanes at the San Ysidro port of entry are processing travelers again. (Five lanes previously closed before today to position port hardening materials remain closed.)

Many of them do not read or write in any language so they believe what they are told. Remember, the GDP from remittances of these triangle countries has, in just a few years, has doubled and tripled since to the BRIDGE Initiative MOA signed by Hillary Clinton in 2010. Since then, these countries can't pump their poverty up here fast enough. The countries get special "loans" through the State Department and the World Bank for infrastructure ,monies that go right into the pockets of the Socialists that run the countries, based on how much in remittances their illegals send home.. Another Clinton diplomatic "gift" to the people of this country.

US signs historic deal with El Salvador and Honduras for remittance securitization


SUBMITTED BY SANKET MOHAPATRA ON WED, 10/13/2010

The United States has recently signed separate Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with El Salvador and Honduras to assist them in securitizing their future remittance receipts to raise financing for infrastructure and development projects. Under the Building Remittance Investment for Development, Growth, and Entrepreneurship (BRIDGE) initiative, banks in these countries will leverage their future remittance receipts to raise lower-cost and longer-term financing in international capital markets to fund infrastructure, public works, and commercial development initiatives (see press release).

In a speech in New York City on September 22, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained how BRIDGE would work to raise critically needed development funding:
“…Now, if they [migrants] send these remittances through the formal financial system, they create huge funding flows that are orders of magnitude larger than any development assistance we can dream of. By harnessing the potential of remittances, BRIDGE will make it easier for communities in El Salvador and Honduras to get the financing they need to build roads and bridges, for example, to support entrepreneurs, to make loans, to bring more people into the financial system…..Through BRIDGE and its in-country partners, local banks will be able to leverage their remittance flows….With the leverage from remittances, the local banks will be able to get lower-cost, longer-term financing for investments in infrastructure projects and small businesses.”

The financing structure proposed under BRIDGE is similar to that used by banks in several remittance-receiving countries such as Brazil, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Peru and Turkey, to raise over $15 billion in international financing during the last decade (see previous work on this topic by my colleagues Dilip Ratha and Suhas Ketkar on securitization of future-flow receivables and new paths to funding).

The BRIDGE initiative provides an excellent application of innovative financing instruments leveraging on migration and remittances. The World Bank group has recently become involved in this area. The International Finance Corporation has recently provided up to $30 million debt financing for securitizing the significant remittances of El Salvadorans working abroad to raise financing for a credit cooperative Fedecredito. These additional resources will be used to increase lending to micro-entrepreneurs and low-income people in the country. Increasingly the Bank is receiving requests to assist countries to raise funds through diaspora bonds.

Newmexican, thank you for the information on the remittance agreements. It is a disgrace to allow billions of dollars to leave the United States to prosper and build up other nations and people at the sacrifice and expense of our country.

Decades of ignoring illegal immigration and out of control immigration in general, robbed America and her citizens. It continues.
