Tijuana Residents Agree With President Trump: Horde of Migrants Constitutes "An Invasion"

Racism, straight-up.

This city of migrants has turned on the caravan of thousands of Central American migrants that has roiled the border town.

"This is an invasion!" shouted Luis Alexis Mendoza, 30, a bespectacled carpenter who was among scores of protesting Tijuana residents staging an anti-caravan demonstration Sunday that culminated in a standoff with riot police on the street where more than 2,000 Central Americans were being housed in a sports facility. "We demand respect! We demand that our laws be followed."

That's like, so racist I just can't even.

Wait, that guy was a Mexican?

Well now I don't know what to think, except OrangeManBad.

He and others denounced caravan members -- mostly Honduran nationals -- as "criminals," "bums," and "freeloaders," among other negative characterizations used to describe the Central Americans.

Protesters sang the Mexican national anthem and waved Mexican flags in a loud display of nationalism and anti-caravan sentiment.

Wait, Nationalism? Haven't these Mexicans read Jonah Goldberg and The Weekly Standard? Nationalism is just another word for White Supremacy!

Haha, what silly Mexicans!!!

A march by protesters through downtown took on the character of a mob as angry demonstrators tried to storm the sports facility housing caravan participants, who began arriving last week in Tijuana after a month on the road.

Angry White Men Mexicans marched on the sports facility where the migrants were being held:

Word that angry Mexican protesters were approaching the sports complex sent many migrants running back inside. Fear and uncertainty reverberated in the sports facility.

"We feel trapped," said Jose Antonio Paz, 32, who traveled from the city of El Progreso, Honduras, with his wife and four daughters. "People came after us with rocks. How can we defend ourselves?"

Strangely, part of this article has been deleted, but John Sexton quoted it before it was censored by liberal editors:

Ironically, many protesters echoed the complaints of President Trump, who denounced the caravan as an "invasion" and a threat to national security.

"We are not with Trump -- he has spoken horribly about Mexicans -- but he is right in that every country has a right to defend its borders," said Alejandra Garcia, 52, a mother of two who was among about 150 gathered as the protest began along a major boulevard here featuring a statue of Cuauhtemoc, the last Aztec emperor. "This is not about xenophobia. We are not against immigrants. Most everyone in Tijuana came from somewhere else. But people must come here in an orderly fashion and not try and make trouble."

Sexton also quotes NBC News:

Some protesters said the Mexican government should follow President Donald Trump's lead and adopt tougher border policies.

"He's defending his border, unlike our president," said protester Elvia Vijeras. “Now there will be more violence in Tijuana."
