Tensions increase as hundreds of migrants push on toward U.S.-Mexican border

Tijuana, Mexico -- It's getting tense out there as hundreds of self-described entitled Central American migrants congregating at a Mexican border town headed on Thursday for a bridge crossing that links the United States. President Trump has also renewed his statement to repel them from entering illegally.

US choppers hovered overhead as a group, made up primarily of young, working-age men, headed out from the shelter where they had been staying gratis last week, to the El Chaparral bridge about a half mile from Tijuana, across the border from San Diego, California.

On Thursday the president threatened to close the border altogether, having previously deployed nearly 6,000 troops to set up concrete barriers and razor-wire fences to deter what he has called an "invasion," a term the residents of Tijuana agree with once they received the freeloaders.

"If we find that it gets to a level where we are going to lose control or where people are going to start getting hurt, we will close entry into the country for a period of time until we can get it under control," Trump told the media, before sending a warning to Mexico.

"The whole border. I mean the whole border," he said, then taking the moral high-ground by adding "Mexico will not be able to sell their cars into the United States."

Tensions rose at the border when a local official and a human rights activist tried convincing the migrants of the benefits of remaining in Mexico, and submitting their US asylum requests through official channels.

"We don't want to!" shouted a number of migrants before continuing on to the bridge in the pursuit of welfare, health care and even for some, jobs.

"Let us cross now, we're already desperate, we've left family in Honduras, we need to work," said a man called Wilson, who not only refused to wait his turn at US residency, but couldn't even wait until being told he could cross the bridge.

Authorities in Tijuana set up a job fair attempting to recruit skilled workers among the migrants for the benefit of local companies, while Mexico's migration agency has offered them temporary residency papers.

No way, Jose--they wanted the American dream and to escape the violence they claim cause them to leave, as per the Soros team's coaching.

Some have taken advantage of the offers but others are simply determined to reach the US because they feel entitled and don't care about laws and national sovereignty.

Since setting out more than a month ago, mostly from from Honduras, thousands of migrants -- including many women and children -- have covered about 4,400, either walking, hitchhiking or being offered free rides before the first groups began reaching Tijuana at the end of last week.

And they really want free rides, believe me.

But there have been tensions since they started arriving at the border town, particularly in the shelter housing around 4,500 Central Americans many of whom have the audacity to complain about the free food.

The migrants say they are mostly fleeing poverty and unrest in Central America's "Northern Triangle" -- El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, where gang violence has fueled some of the highest murder rates in the world.

But rather than taking refuge in the first country they arrive at [Mexico], they want to come to the United States, where leftists, who think America is a terrible place, care so much about these migrants that they welcome them with open arms.

And there's the rub. If they care so much about the plight of these poor migrants, why would they want them settling in such a horrible country?
