    350 in migrant caravan have arrived at U.S.-Mexico border; thousands coming

    The first waves of the migrant caravan have arrived at U.S.-Mexico border; thousands more expected in coming days

    The first large wave of the migrant caravan arrived in Tijuana early Tuesday morning. About 350 migrants, mostly from Central America, rolled into the border city on nine buses. Some hung out of bus windows and cheered; at least one Honduran flag fluttered outside a window.

    The migrants are reaching their final destination in Mexico amid inflamed tensions on both sides of the California-Mexico border. At the El Chaparral port of entry earlier Tuesday morning, people who have been waiting weeks to claim asylum said many migrant shelters along the border are at capacity. They expressed concern that the caravan would jeopardize their chances of entering the United States.


    Meanwhile, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced it was closing some northbound vehicle lanes at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings to prepare for the arrival of “thousands of people migrating in a caravan” toward the border. The agency said Department of Defense personnel were installing concertina wire and erecting barriers, barricades and fencing.

    Central American migrant caravan arrives in Tijuana

    The migrants left San Pedro Sula, Honduras about a month ago, fleeing poverty, gang violence and lawlessness. The group -- which at its peak included some 7,000 people according to estimates by United Nations officials -- has trekked through heat and hitched harrowing rides on the sides of trucks and tractor trailers. By the time the caravan reached Mexico City in early November, the caravan had shrunk to about 5,000. The group rested in a stadium in Mexico’s capital before leaving late last week to finish the journey to Tijuana.

    The group that arrived Tuesday morning follows a smaller contingent of about 85 migrants, most members of the LGBT community, that peeled off from the caravan and arrived in an upscale Tijuana neighborhood on Sunday night. They were confronted by residents, who said they opposed the migrants’ presence in the area, according to local news reports.


    An estimated 5,000 migrants left Mexico City on Friday and are traveling toward Tijuana. At least two more caravans are en route to the country’s capital.

    As the three caravans traveled north toward the border with the United States, the Trump Administration deployed more than 5,200 soldiers to the southwest border, joining more than 2,000 National Guardsmen already stationed there. The troops will “harden and secure” the border as part of Operation Secure Line, according to the Department of Defense.

    Trump is also changing asylum policy in an attempt to deter the caravans. Last Friday, he signed a proclamation that will deny asylum to immigrants who enter the U.S. without authorization. Immigrants typically are allowed to request asylum at the ports of entry or when they are apprehended while attempting to cross the border illegally. The same day, the American Civil Liberties Union, Southern Poverty Law Center and Center for Constitutional Rights filed a federal lawsuit challenging the restrictions.

    Last spring, another caravan of Central American migrants arrived in Tijuana. About 400 members of that caravan requested asylum at ports of entry; federal officials interviewed them and found 93 percent passed the first test on the path toward asylum, by demonstrating that they had a credible fear of returning to their country. Immigration officials apprehended another 122 members trying to enter the country illegally; U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services did not track how many of those people passed the credible fear test.

    Lots of live news coverage of the port of entry prep work by the Marines and CBP on all San Diego stations news if you can get them online.

    Shut down the International Bridge!

    No loitering...no stacking up people.

    Get them off that bridge!

    It is a health, safety and security issue and threat to our nation.

    Mexico needs to load them up and send them home!

    They refused asylum in Mexico and WE do not owe them anything!

    There is no bridge at San Ysidro.
    The border bridges are in Texas over the Rio Grande.
