Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum called for the arrest of the organizers of the Central American illegal migrant caravans.
Mayor Gastelum sat down with Griff Jenkins from FOX News to discuss the ongoing crisis on Friday.
Illegal migrant organizers forced women and children to the front of the protest last weekend and then started hurling rocks at US border agents.
The Conservative Tribune reported:
Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins sat down with Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel Gastelum to discuss the caravan currently camping out in his city.
Gastelum told Fox News that the federal police should arrest the organizers of the caravan for “putting people at risk.”
“Let’s take care of them in a legal way,” Gastelum added.
It’s not surprising that Gastelum is growing impatient with the caravan. There is an estimated over 6,000 migrants settled in his city, and they are beginning to cause problems.

“We’ve have never, never, never, never had this problem,” Gastelum said. “Some of these people are coming in violently, disrespectfully, not as a good, law-abiding citizen. And that’s what’s hurt us.”
Gastelum said the migrants are also significantly hurting Tijuana economically, according to Fox News.

“We won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana,” Gastelum said during a press conference. “We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem.”
