TIJUANA, Mexico (Reuters) - Dozens of Central American migrants from about 600 traveling in a “caravan” through Mexico arrived at the border city of Tijuana late on Tuesday despite warnings it would be futile to try to cross to claim asylum in the United States.
By evening, two busloads of men, women and children arrived in Tijuana, a city that grazes southern California.
U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered officials to repel them.
The arrivals spilled into the streets and gazed toward San Diego, visible at spots through a rusty barrier or across a pedestrian bridge, exhausted after their trek that began a month ago near Mexico’s southern border with Guatemala.
Another four busloads were making their way north from Hermosillo, a city 432 miles south of the border, where the migrants had been stalled for days.
