This was a propaganda exercise. A woman with two diapered children right in the middle of it.
Twitter leftists are fulminating about it now. Media coverage will be full of it starting in the morning.
The residents of Tijuana won't put up with the border crossing being closed by these grand-standers. That's a huge hit to hundreds of thousands of Mexican residents that legally work in San Diego. Go take your caravan to Mexicali, or better yet go to Arizona or Texas, you are barking up the wrong tree in TJ!
russ
can you show us where twitter leftists are fulminating? I do not see that.
