More than 1,500 refugees and migrants (who were months away) suddenly arrive at US-Mexico border
|
 [Independent] Hundreds of refugees and migrants that were part of a caravan travelling from Central America has reached the city of Tijuana at the US-Mexico border.
In joining the more than 750 people that had already reached the city, there are now more than 1,500 migrants - many of them are fleeing poverty and violence in their home countries of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
Around 6,000 troops deployed by President Donald Trump are waiting on the other side of the border, having spent time building concrete barriers and erecting razor-wire fences to keep people out.
With US border inspectors at the main crossing into San Diego processing only about 100 asylum claims a day, it could take weeks if not months to process those who are part of the caravan that departed from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, more than a month ago.
Another 2,000 more refugees and migrants are expected to to arrive in Tijuana by the weekend.
Tijuana's factories are always looking for workers but the prospect of thousands more destitute Central Americans has posed new challenges.
