TIJUANA, Mexico—The mayor of Tijuana, Juan Manuel Gastélum, said the Mexican border city is bearing a $25,000 per diem cost to house and feed the burgeoning number of Central American migrants that have arrived.
“According to the last numbers, we’re approximately either near 7,000 or just past 7,000 people here in Tijuana,” Gastélum told The Epoch Times on Nov. 30.
