The Mayor of Tijuana, Mexico is calling for help after he feels the city has been invaded overrun with 5,000-plus caravan members.

Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum is making a plea to the United Nations for help as it feels the response from the Mexican government is moving too slowly and before it gets out of control, a move has to be made to slow down the unrest.

Gastelum is calling this a humanitarian crisis.

Let’s be honest here. The Mexican government could have averted this “crisis” completely, by protecting its southern border, and rounding up the aliens before they crossed their nation.

Any requests that are not solely to transport the aliens back across Mexico’s southern border should not even be given the dignity of consideration.

During a press conference Thursday, Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum asked international groups like the United Nations to step in help the city deal with the influx of migrants, amid a lagging response from the Mexican federal government, which he accused of neglecting their responsibilities to deal with migrant and immigration issues.

“They have categorically omitted and not complied with their legal obligations,” he said. “So we’re now asking them and international humanitarian aid groups to bring in and carry out humanitarian assistance.”

For years now, large numbers of migrants have flocked to Tijuana in their quest to seek asylum at border ports of entry along Southern California.

But the pace of arrivals stepped up this year with the organization of several migrant caravans, whose intended destination has been this border community. Since last week, more than 5,000 migrants who took off from Honduras in October arrived in Tijuana, raising tensions with local residents and straining government services.
