SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — People who operate shelters in Tijuana say 80% of the women who arrive at their facilities and plan on crossing the border are from Mexico.
They also say most don’t have CBP One appointments that allow migrants to cross the border and seek asylum.
“The majority are Mexican women, and this has been going on for the better part of two years, they are fleeing from violence, organized crime or domestic violence, they all have a story,” said Sister Albertina María Paoletti, director of the Madre Asunta shelter.
