US Hardens Border at Tijuana as Migrant Caravan Arrives

The U.S. government said it was starting work on Tuesday to "harden" the border crossing from Tijuana, Mexico, to prepare for the arrival of a migrant caravan leapfrogging its way across western Mexico.

Customs and Border Protection announced it was closing four lanes at the busy San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry in San Diego, California.

It said the closures were needed "to install and pre-position port hardening infrastructure equipment in preparation for the migrant caravan and the potential safety and security risk that it could cause."

The caravans became a campaign issue in U.S. midterm elections and U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of over 5,000 military troops to the border to help fend off the migrants. Trump has insinuated without proof that there are criminals or even terrorists in the group.

To the thousands of Central American migrants making their way toward Mexico's Pacific coast state of Nayarit, the prospect of meeting a hostile reception at the border is nothing new.

Dave T: Composed of criminals, misfits and political activists, this group will prove to be nothing but trouble and more burden for U.S. taxpayers. How liberal kooks could support this is beyond me, but then again, it's all about power and control for the left. These are great new recruits for the liberal cause to replace honest, hardworking Americans who would never support such a deranged political ideology.

Dave T - I would love to see the data you have that supports your first statement. If you don't have this data, then you are just another fool spouting off at the mouth while not knowing jack.
