    Default Tijuana mayor says arrest caravan organizer, vows to stop funding migrants

    TIJUANA, Mexico – After declaring the migrant caravan a “humanitarian crisis” this week, Mayor Juan Manuel Gastélum told Fox News that he can no longer continue to fund the municipal effort to shelter them without federal assistance.

    “I’m not going to break public services to solve this problem,” the Tijuana mayor said.

    Even worse, he could be forced to raise taxes on Tijuana’s 1.7 million residents who have already suffered from Sunday’s clashes.

    “In those six hours that the border was closed, we lost approximately 129 million pesos,” he said. “That's not fair. How do you think people from Tijuana feel towards those people who are making problems?”

    Meanwhile, conditions for the migrants in the tent city encampment worsened overnight with heavy winds and rain – flooding overcrowded spaces, leaving wet clothes, sleeping bags and litter strewn about an unsanitary and inhumane existence.

    Efforts were underway to move some of them to a new location because of reports that more migrants were making their way to Tijuana.

    Mayor Gastélum blames the organizers for whom he cannot identify. He said they should be held accountable. He said the leaders of the caravan should face criminal charges.

    “Those are the real criminals because they're dealing with the lives of people,” he says.

    Hope now rests on a new Mexican administration when Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador takes office as Mexico’s new president on Saturday.

    Gastélum has a message for the incoming president.

    “It's problem he must solve," he said, "as soon as he gets into office.”

    American Democrat voters created this mess.

    The left should be outraged at the Tijuana mayor for not being more compassionate and caring for the poor women and children.
    It is a shame the people of Tijuana are only looking out for themselves.
    The mayor calling the poor women and children criminals is wrong.

    I’m calling for all liberals to get in their car and drive to the border to adopt a family. Come on prove that the liberals have a big heart and not just a big mouth.

    According to the 'Liberals' here, all these people are going to create more jobs and a better life for all of us. We should be jealous of Tijuana and the new and vibrant economy that is going to emerge out of all this. Think of the 'diversity' that Tijuana will experience, new foods, different customs, a real boon to Tijuana and the surrounding area. Yessiree, the new immigrants to Tijuana will sure help their economy, why should the US get all the benefits of the new arrivals, what's wrong with letting Tijuana reap the rewards of 'Open Borders'?
