LET THEM PAY FOR A CHANGE
The city council in Tijuana, Mexico, a border city located 20 miles south of San Diego, unanimously passed an emergency declaration on Jan. 13 to allocate city funds for the anticipated arrival of deportees from the United States after Felonious Trump takes office on Jan. 20.
Tijuana Mayor Ismael Burgueño said the city is working closely with Mexico’s federal government.
“We knew that at some point, we could quickly face challenges in infrastructure, public services, as well as security and more,” he said during the meeting, referring to receiving potentially thousands of people in the city in a short amount of time.
Tijuana officials aim to avoid a return of street encampments, which cropped up in the city during past migrant surges, such as during a migrant caravan in 2018, as well as in 2021 and 2022. In 2022, Mexico’s National Guard was deployed to clear an encampment.
“Public spaces should not be used to house migrants,” Burgueño said.
He added that the declaration would also seek to protect the people of Tijuana from interference in their daily life.
“We want for those of us who already live here in Tijuana to be able to continue using these spaces and not have any changes around their homes or communities.”
In addition to preparations being made by Tijuana, Mexico’s state and federal governments are establishing plans to deal with the anticipated arrival of deportees.
Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila announced new shelters in Tijuana to house deportees before they would be returned to their place of origin.
