Caravanners Get Bad News From Tijuana Gov’t: Rain Is Coming & We’re Not Paying To Keep You Dry

Tijuana may not be the first place that springs to mind when somebody mentions the word “conservative,” but the Mexican border city is looking surprisingly right-thinking these days. That city, of course, has become the centerpiece of the immigration debate over the last few weeks. After thousands of Central American migrants arrived via caravan, they were met with staunch border enforcement to the north and growing frustration from Mexican citizens all around them. Now, the mayor of Tijuana is issuing a stern warning to the migrants camped throughout his city: Time — and money — is running out. “Tijuana’s mayor said the city has only enough resources to support the Central American migrant caravan for two more days and beyond that, there is no guarantee of support,” explained The San Diego Union Tribune. Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum, who was recently spotted wearing a “Make Tijuana Great Again” hat, made it clear that once that money is gone, having local citizens pay for the caravan isn’t an option. “We won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana,” Gastelum said. “We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem.”
