SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — About 17,000 migrants are waiting in Northern Baja California for an opportunity to cross the border, according to Mexico’s National Institute of Migration.
The agency says most of the migrants are in Tijuana with a smaller number in Mexicali to the east.
“They are stranded here, in shelters, hotels and private houses,” said David Pérez Tejada Padilla, head of Migration Institute in Baja California. “It’s hard to come up with an exact figure because the numbers change daily.”
He said they estimate about 8,000 migrants are showing up in Tijuana every month to begin the asylum process through the CBP One app, which allows migrants to set up interviews on the U.S. side of the border.
