Tijuana Mayor Goes Scorched Earth on Caravan Organizers, Calls for Arrest
As Mexicans become increasingly impatient with the caravan of illegal immigrants staying in Tijuana, the city’s mayor suggested arresting the organizers of the caravan.
Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins sat down with Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum to discuss the caravan currently camping out in his city.
Gastelum told Fox News that the federal police should arrest the organizers of the caravan for “putting people at risk.”
“Let’s take care of them in a legal way,” Gastelum added.
It’s not surprising that Gastelum is growing impatient with the caravan. There is an estimated over 6,000 migrants settled in his city, and they are beginning to cause problems.
“We’ve have never, never, never, never had this problem,” Gastelum said. “Some of these people are coming in violently, disrespectfully, not as a good, law-abiding citizen. And that’s what’s hurt us.”
Gastelum said the migrants are also significantly hurting Tijuana economically, according to Fox News.

Around 6,000 migrants from Central America have arrived in the city with the mayor of Tijuana declaring the situation a 'humanitarian crisis'. Most migrants in the caravan say they plan to petition for asylum in the U.S. The incoming government in Mexico will reportedly support a new Trump administration policy requiring migrants asking for asylum in the U.S. to remain in Mexico while their cases are processed.

Gastelum said the migrants are also significantly hurting Tijuana economically, according to Fox News.
“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?”
Tijuana residents who legally cross the border every day to work in San Diego were unable to go to work because of the temporarily closed border. It cost the city the equivalent of over 6 million dollars.
“I’m not going to break public services to solve this problem,” Gastelum said.
Gastelum is not alone in his disdain for the caravan. Mexicans in general seem to have a negative view of the caravan that settled in their country.
A poll conducted by Mexico City newspaper El Universal revealed that 70 percent of Mexicans have a negative view of the migrant caravan.
