November 26, 2018 - Tijuana, Mexico - HENRY JOSE JUAREZ VILLEGAS 16 years old from El Salvador was injured yesterday during the protest at the border. He said a tear gas canister hit his head. He walks from the camp in search of food. He believes Obama was good but with Trump he thinks he is the owner, but he is only a president, he stated. Yet he still holds onto the hope of living in America. The migrant caravan camp Centro Deportivo Benito Juarez seemed more somber on November 26, 2018the day after chaos and U.S. agents firing tear gas at them when they broke through Mexican police line during a protest march and ran to the U.S. border. Some were caught there yesterday to be deported and there was a rumor in the camp all would be sent back to Honduras today which led some to pack and leave to stay on the streets rather than return. Others opted to take the offer of assistance going back. Many appeared to realize that the hope they held to begin a new life in America had dimmed. Men were applying for work visas realizing the stay in Mexico may be longer than anticipated if at all.
