    TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Migrant shelters in Mexico's northern border city of Tijuana are filled to overflowing with Central Americans fleeing poverty and violence and unable to cope with an expected influx of U.S. asylum seekers due to be dispatched to the city from the United States, activists and local shelter officials said on Friday.

    The policy dubbed the Migrant Protection Protocols first announced on Dec. 20 by the administration of President Donald Trump will return non-Mexican migrants who cross the U.S. southern border back to wait in Mexico indefinitely while their asylum requests are processed in U.S. immigration courts.[nL1N1ZO1QK]

    Mexican Foreign Ministry spokesman Roberto Velasco said the United States was to send the first group of 20 asylum seekers back to its territory later on Friday through Tijuana.

So, Mexico might actually be forced to deal with the issue?

So, Mexico might actually be forced to deal with the issue?

Might be novel, considering the way Mexico just let in from their South a couple thousand Hondurans without even trying to stop them.  I guess the local Police didn't like getting beaten up like they did last time.
