WATCH: Mexican Protesters Warn ‘Trump Was Right,’ Caravan ‘Is An Invasion’

Hundreds of Tijuana residents gathered on Sunday to protest the caravan migrants that are coming through Mexico to the United States, warning that “Donald Trump was right, this is an invasion!” and chanting “get out Hondurans, we do not want you here.”

“Tijuana residents waved Mexican flags, sang the Mexican national anthem and chanted “Out! Out!” in front of a statue of the Aztec ruler Cuauhtemoc … they accused the migrants of being messy, ungrateful and a danger to Tijuana,” The Associated Press reported. “They also complained about how the caravan forced its way into Mexico, calling it an “invasion.” And they voiced worries that their taxes might be spent to care for the group.”

Alden Rivera, the Honduran ambassador in Mexico, told AP that Honduras wants the migrants to “return to Honduras.”

The news comes as hundreds of migrants reached the border fence that separates Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego, California early last week and “some of them began illegally entering the U.S. after climbing the fence,” The Daily Wire reported.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a report in early November that stated there are “hundreds of convicted criminals or known gang members traveling in the migrant caravan that is traveling through Mexico to the U.S. southern border.”

“In fact, over 270 individuals along the caravan route have criminal histories, including known gang membership,” DHS reported. “Those include a number of violent criminals – examples include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, sexual assault on a child, and assault on a female.”

“@DHSgov can confirm that there are individuals within the caravan who are gang members or have significant criminal histories,” Department spokesperson Tyler Houlton wrote on Twitter in late October. “Citizens of countries outside Central America, including countries in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and elsewhere are currently traveling through Mexico toward the U.S.”

The Mexican government has already had to deport migrants in the caravan who are wanted for alleged crimes in their home countries and some migrants in the caravan have admitted to having criminal histories.

One migrant told a Fox News reporter in late October that he was headed to the U.S. because he “got in trouble” in his home country for “attempted murder.”

“Criminals are everywhere,” another migrant told Fox News. “It’s criminals in here. It is. But it is not that many. It is good people here trying to get through Mexico and then get to the United States. It doesn’t mean that everybody is a criminal.”
