A few of the nearly 200 migrants from Central America who traveled by caravan through Mexico to the U.S. border crossing at San Diego, have been allowed to apply for asylum.
Eight migrants — three women, four children and an 18-year-old man who claimed to be fleeing violence in their home countries — were allowed through the gate at the border crossing separating Tijuana, Mexico, from San Diego, Monday evening, according to caravan organizers, according to The New York Times.
"We began processing undocumented arrivals again on Monday," a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) spokeswoman said. "As in the past when we've had to limit the number of people we can bring in for processing at a given time, we expect that this will be a temporary situation."
Reuters report: "The first to enter were part of a small group from the caravan who Mexican officials let walk over a pedestrian bridge on Sunday and who have been camped at the San Ysidro gate ever since, when the CBP said the facility between Tijuana and San Diego was saturated. A larger group of about 150 people has not been let onto the bridge and was preparing for a second night sleeping in an open plaza on the Mexican side.

I am certain the pregnant females have bundles of money on them to pay for the childbirth hospital bills.
They certainly would not be so arrogant as to expect American tax dollars to pay their bills.
NO!!
After they were told what to say and how to cry by Liberal Attorneys!
If fleeing for safety you are supposed to beg for asylum in the first country out of the area. You don't get to pick and choose.
More third world immigrants to further lead to the downfall of the US.
They will want to come to MD. since this stupid state supports funds and encourages a free ride. Must be nice using my tax dollars to fund this BS while i struggle for my kids to feed educate and pay my bills. THIS POLICY Sickens me.
