Tijuana protesters chant 'Out!' as migrants arrive

TIJUANA, Mexico - Hundreds of Tijuana residents congregated around a monument in an affluent section of the city south of California on Sunday to protest the thousands of Central American migrants who have arrived in hopes of a new life in the United States.

Tensions have built as nearly 3,000 migrants from the caravan poured into Tijuana in recent days after more than a month on the road, and with many more months ahead of them while they seek asylum. The federal government estimates the number of migrants could soon swell to 10,000.

It was the second such protest. Last Wednesday, a group of residents confronted several migrants in the city's coastal Playas de Tijuana district.
