Migrant wave makes it to Tijuana to attempt entry into California sanctuary state.

Desert Sun:
The first large wave of the migrant caravan arrived in Tijuana early Tuesday morning. About 400 migrants, mostly from Central America, rolled into the border city on nine buses. Some hung out of bus windows and cheered; at least one Honduran flag fluttered outside a window.

The migrants are reaching their final destination in Mexico amid inflamed tensions on both sides of the California-Mexico border. At the El Chaparral port of entry earlier Tuesday morning, people who have been waiting weeks to claim asylum said many migrant shelters along the border are nearing capacity. They expressed concern that the caravan would jeopardize their chances of entering the United States.

Meanwhile, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced it was closing some northbound vehicle lanes at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings to prepare for the arrival of "thousands of people migrating in a caravan" toward the border. The agency said Department of Defense personnel were installing concertina wire and erecting barriers, barricades and fencing.

Luis Bustamante, assistant secretary of the government of the state of Baja California, said there is room for about 900 migrants to sleep in Tijuana's handful of migrant shelters and churches. With the roughly 400 migrants who arrived Tuesday, Bustamante said only about 500 more migrants will find accommodations. Thousands more are on their way from central and southern Mexico.

Will California hire them as firefighters?   What is California going to do with several thousand more illegals?  Set them up in tents and let them poop on the streets like other homeless people in that state?  Give them a voter ID card?
