We've commented a lot on how the leftist organizers of the migrant caravan, such as Pueblo Sin Fronteras are using the migrants themselves as pawns to advance their far-left agenda. They put women and children in front for the cameras, promising them goodies for doing it. They subject them to a very dangerous journey northward, and even send women and children as shock troops to storm the U.S. border, as they did yesterday, so as to make any U.S. response to border-storming appear 'heartless.' It's all part of their propaganda warfare, and if they put women and kids in danger, well, from their perspective, it's just the cost of doing business. They're all expendable.
They're also holding the people of Tijuana hostage, given that so many of the migrants are criminals who have gotten right down to business in committing crimes against Mexicans, and subjecting city authorities to the large costs of housing and feeding them. The Tijuana authorities were caught off guard, handed a bill, and are not happy about it.
But their coerciveness actually extends to non-migrants, because of their willingness to dare President Trump to shut down the border. A closed border means nothing to these leftists, whose agenda is 'by-any-means-necessary,' but it exacts a lot of cost to the normals who live and work in both Tijuana and the U.S., and who go back and forth as a means of conducting their daily lives.
First, an instance I know of: A source at the University of San Diego tells me that there are several fine Mexican students who commute daily to USD from their homes in Tijuana, with their special commuter-visa passes. Everyone loves these bright hard-working kids and the university is delighted to have them there. The migrant caravan's border shutdown holds those kids hostage.
