Mexican border cities like Tijuana are gearing up for what locals call a 'humanitarian tsunami' as U.S. deportation policies threaten to send waves of migrants back across the border. With shelters already at capacity, community leaders warn this could become one of the largest migration challenges in recent history.
A Growing Challenge
"We're seeing numbers that keep our phones buzzing 24/7," said María López, a volunteer at a Tijuana aid center. NGOs and local authorities are racing to set up temporary housing in repurposed warehouses and sports facilities.
Community Response
With limited federal support, grassroots organizations are leading efforts to provide food, medical care, and legal aid. Meanwhile, border economies face strain as resources stretch thinner than a TikTok influencer’s patience during a WiFi outage 📉.
