TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) – Many of the more than 3,000 migrants who reached the California border said they did not feel welcome in the Mexican city of Tijuana.
The vast majority camped in a sports complex, sleeping on a clay baseball field and under bleachers. The city opened the complex after filling the other shelters. Religious groups provided portable showers, bathrooms and sinks, as well as coffee and donuts.
But the mayor has described the arrival of avalanche migrants as the city is ill-prepared to face, while some locals have shouted insults.
This is a stark contrast to the many Mexican communities that hosted the caravan with placards, music and clothing donations after it entered Mexico almost a month ago.
