Trouble in Tijuana
As large numbers of Central American migrants continued arriving in Tijuana in hopes of crossing to the United States, one thing became abundantly clear: They won’t be leaving anytime soon.
For both state and municipal officials, this has prompted growing anxiety about providing food, shelter, health care, and other services while they wait for a turn to apply for asylum at the San Ysidro Port of Entry — or reach other decisions about their future.
“We’re estimating that they will be here at least six months, and in some cases as long as a year and a half,” Francisco Rueda Gomez, Baja California’s secretary-general, said Friday at a City Hall meeting, before rushing across the border for a meeting with U.S. officials in San Ysidro.
