Mexicans Protest Central American Migrants in Tijuana
-----------------------------------------------------

As more migrants from several Central American caravans arrive at the
Mexican border city of Tijuana, some local residents are protesting
their presence, echoing language used by President Trump, referring to
the migrants as an "invasion" and chanting "Mexico First." Some
demonstrators clashed with police as they protested outside of a migrant
shelter Sunday. This is Honduran migrant Karina Rosales, addressing the
recent protests.

Karina Rosales: "They have the right to protest because they don't like
that we're here but in spite of everything, [Mexicans] are good people.
They are the same as us. But we're only passing through. We won't stay
here."
An estimated 3,000 Central American migrants are in Tijuana to request
asylum in the United States, with more arrivals expected in the coming
days.
