Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum declared a humanitarian crisis on Friday as 5,000 migrants arrived in his city.
Gastelum has asked the United Nations to provide help in dealing with the caravan of Central American migrants who arrived over the past few days. The migrants have made their way from their home countries to the U.S.-Mexican border in their quest to seek asylum in the United States. Gastelum said most of the people are currently camped out inside a Tijuana sports complex.
Military officials from the Pentagon were on Capitol Hill on Tuesday and disclosed to members of Congress how much Donald Trump’s latest political prank is costing U.S. taxpayers, the Associated Press reported.
To fire up his anti-immigrant base of supporters before the election, President Donald Trump announced he was issuing an extensive executive order requiring asylum-seekers to present themselves at a port of entry.
Vigilantes with guns. Heavily armed white militias. This could be the scene at the United States’ border with Mexico very shortly as groups of civilians are answering President Donald Trump’s call to arms. They are going to fight against the “invasion” of poor refugees that they’ve been told is coming.
According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump is “planning to sign an executive order that would seek to end the right to U.S. citizenship for children of noncitizens born on U.S. soil.”
According to a new article this morning in the Washington Post, “President Donald Trump has threatened to summon the military to close the U.S.-Mexico border and upend a trade deal.”
The Post said that the president has been experiencing “mounting frustration with a large caravan of migrants from Honduras that has been making its way toward the United States.” He said he may take military action to stop immigrants from crossing the southern border into the U.S. if Mexico does not take action to stop the “onslaught.”
