Four-hour Closure of Border - Caravan Creates Crisis

The U.S.-Mexico border at the San Ysidro Port of Entry was closed in both directions Sunday after hundreds of migrants rushed the area, prompting federal authorities to launch tear gas in an effort to get the group to disperse.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials closed southbound vehicle and pedestrian crossings around 11:30 a.m. Sunday.

Northbound vehicle traffic processing at San Ysidro also was suspended, and the pedestrian crossings at the San Ysidro port of entry were closed.

The pedestrian crossings were reopened about 3:45 p.m.

The San Ysidro border crossing is one of the busiest ports of entry in the world, with more than 90,000 people crossing between San Diego and Tijuana on a daily basis, and the closures snarled traffic for miles in the area.

Ports of entry in Otay Mesa and Tecate remain open.

Tijuana Mayor Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum said on Twitter, “We will not allow our binational relationship to be broken by the bad behavior of the migrant caravan.”

He added that the caravan was breaking the law and that Tijuana residents who “work, study and visit the United States in peace” are affected by the closure.

Customs and Border Protection had deployed additional personnel to the border due to multiple planned protests on both sides. The personnel included Customs and Border Protection officers, U.S. Border Patrol agents and Air and Marine agents recently sent to the region.

San Diego police also readied on-duty officers Sunday afternoon to respond to the border division if needed.

A Department of Homeland Security official said Monday there are an estimated 500 criminals traveling in the caravan. Local authorities in Baja California have detained 57 migrants of which 47 are Hondurans. They were taken into custody on suspicion of public disorderly conduct. Of those detained by local police, 42 of those migrants are now in deportation proceedings in Mexico, according to local police.

Thankfully...
This did not start happening until after the election was over.

If it had... it would have been a good cover for MORE stealing than happened.

I think Trump is gonna stand firm... screw everyone.

And IMO Trump is gonna end up the good guy in public opinion for it.

The sad thing is... the peace and joy that is usually Christmas season... is gonna be interrupted.
For that... we should load all those caravan folks on a ship, sail it about 1000 miles out into the ocean, let it run out of fuel... and just leave it there!
 
I guess George Soros promised them a life free of work... in America... the stupid Americans will set you up for life... you never have to work.

All these illegal people- both illegal in Mexico and trying to gain entry to the US don't really want to work.

On Thursday morning, maquiladora executives gathered at a hotel near the Otay Mesa border crossing to learn the steps to hiring Central Americans for thousands of entry-level factory jobs that they are struggling to fill.

Tijuana’s maquiladora industry has between 7,000 and 10,000 vacancies, said Salvador Díz, president of the Association of Industries in Otay Mesa, and a shortage of labor has prompted employers to recruit workers in southern Mexico.

More than any other branch of government, it is the city of Tijuana that has borne the brunt of the caravan’s arrival. It has been putting them up in the Unidad Deportiva Benito Juárez, staffing it with city employees, many of whom have been volunteering extra hours, and assigning police to maintain control.

Mayor Gastélum has found himself the target of much criticism for his depiction of the group in an interview on Mexican national television, saying they “come with an aggressive, rude stance,” asserting that some are “lazy, marijuana smokers.”

The city’s public safety secretariat reported that as of Thursday, more than 100 Central Americans had been detained, most of them for non-violent crimes involving drug possession, being drunk in public, or disturbing the peace.

This is a first for our San Diego Border... every other administration has talked, but never done anything.

Amazing to me that so many Democrats support these people.

Socialism is a strong emotional narcotic... the idealistic (and naive) thinking is addictive.

IMO... people, one or two at a time, are gonna look at what is going down and think twice... rather than parrot the left line.

The media... well that is an entire thread... grin!
 
Our imagination laws should be enforced by any means necessary including lethal force. Just like laws are enforced on everyone else.

Migrant caravan: Mexico deports group that stormed US border

Mexico says it has deported nearly 100 Central American migrants a day after they tried to storm the US border.

The group, among thousands of migrants heading towards the US, was rounded up after trying to cross the border "violently" and "illegally" on Sunday, said the interior ministry.

Video footage shows dozens of people running towards the border fence near the city of Tijuana.

US border officers used tear gas to repel them and said some threw rocks.

US President Donald Trump has reiterated a threat he made last week to close the border completely.

 
ICE and order patrol report that at least 45 successfully broke through and entered the US. They were apprehended and will face deportation hearings. It was also reported that a "very small number" may have avoided detection and successfully stormed the border.

The commanding officer for the Border Patrol for the area that was breached reported that time and time again the instigators pushed women and children to the front before making a charge. They lobbed the tear gas over the women and children but of course it spreads.

Exactly...

They reported there are from 70 to 100 children... out of 7,000?

Yet the children are in almost every picture because like ISIS, they are pussies and put a child in front to shield them. :tapfoot2: What type of animal would put children as a shield? A pussy! :tapfoot2::fingerwag: They can collect their vagina hat once they make it to the loving arms of the Soros group in San Diego.

They said there were agitators there who are from San Diego, who are Mexican, telling them as long as they step foot on US soil, then they must be given citizenship.
