    TIJUANA, Mexico — The latest wave of migrants traveling through northern Mexico as part of a large caravan began arriving overnight Tuesday and early Wednesday in Tijuana, where hundreds, and possibly thousands, more migrants are expected to follow in coming days.

    Several charter buses arrived just after midnight Tuesday at the Unidad Deportiva Benito Juarez, the sports complex that the city opened as a makeshift shelter. It's unclear exactly how many migrants were in the latest group. But inside, there were 3,000 other migrants who had arrived in Tijuana since last week.


    The municipal government opened up the Benito Juarez sports complex last Wednesday. Originally planned to hold 3,000 migrants, the latest arrivals have put the shelter over capacity.

    So far, the city has not said whether they intend to open a second shelter as hundreds more migrants make their way to Tijuana.

    Several charter buses arrive just past midnight Nov. 20, 2018, and in the early hours Nov. 21 to the Unidad Deportiva Benito Juarez, the sports complex that city opened up as a makeshift shelter in Tijuana, Mexico. It's unclear exactly how many migrants had traveled on board. But inside, 3,000 other migrants had been arriving in Tijuana since last week.

    The new arrivals are part of the same caravan that had been traveling up through Central America and Mexico over the past month. They got separated between cities in northern Mexico.
    While roughly 3,000 had arrived, according to estimates from the municipal government in Tijuana, another 3,000 or so for days have been in the nearby city of Mexicali, about 90 miles away.

    That group began to file out of Mexicali on Tuesday morning. But with limited transportation, many of them opted to head out on foot for a grueling 38-hour walk.

    The migrants who arrived in Tijuana early Wednesday morning had been able to get rides on buses. But hundreds more remained along the highway linking the two border cities.

    Those in Tijuana arrived to an overcrowded shelter, with very limited options on space. Left with little other choice, many of them settled in on the cold and damp field of the outdoor baseball stadium.

    As they filed into the shelter in a single-file line, many of the migrants carried sleeping bags and blankets, as well as any personal belongings they still had with them.


    Many of the children, and some of the adults, had coughs.

    Medical personnel stationed outside the shelter said they had treated dozens of migrants, mostly for respiratory illnesses.

    We have 30 million illegal aliens already in the US .... we're done with all of them. All we want is every single one of them out of our country and kept out by all means necessary, whatever it takes.
