Protestors in Tijuana took to the streets this month to protest the arrival of thousands of Central American migrants trying to reach the U.S. border. NPR reported several hundred residents gathering in the affluent Rio area of the city and displayed inflammatory signs reading “no to the invasion” and “Mexico First” while chanting “get out of the country!”

Tijuana residents have defended the protests. Guadalupe Barrera, a resident who turned out to protest with a sign reading “no more caravans” told Desert Sun that “this is not racism,” adding, “we are opposed to the invasion.”

However, it is apparent that the protest’s organizers undoubtedly harbor racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, transphobic and xenophobic beliefs.

The event was organized by Fidel Ernesto González Hernández, who can be seen on video discussing the organization of the protest, which he says was started to demonstrate “the Central American invasion.”

With the dust settled from the bruising 2018 midterm elections, conservatives seemed to take a tiny step back from all their heated anti-immigration rhetoric. However, that appears to have changed after America First Policies, a political nonprofit that hopes to influence President Trump’s already harsh immigration policies, spent 1 million dollars on two ads that seek to influence Republican lawmakers in renewing funding for Trump’s border wall.

The latest video features Michelle Root, the mother of the girl who was killed in a 2016 car crash allegedly caused by an immigrant without legal status. In the ad, Root implies that a new border wall will prevent future tragedies, even referencing Trump’s now defunct child separation policies.

My separation is permanent,” said Root in the video. “I want to see that wall built. I want to see stronger immigration laws. Make your voice heard. Call your congressman and your senators.”

The video comes after democrats re-captured the House in the 2018 midterm elections, giving them the power to check some of Trump’s more controversial immigration policies. While they have seemed willing to work with Trump in the past on immigration, that will come at a much steeper political cost now that they won back power of at least one chamber of Congress...........................
