The Mayor of Tijuana said he expects funding to support thousands of Central American migrants who have arrived there in recent weeks to run out by Sunday.
Juan Manuel Gastelum revealed Tuesday the city only has enough resources to assist the crowds for a few more days as hundreds more migrants arrive on a daily basis.
Gastelum vowed not to divert tax dollars away from city services while asking Mexico’s federal government to send more money and support.
‘We will decide what to do when we get there’, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported him as saying.
‘We won’t compromise the resources of the residents of Tijuana. We won’t raise taxes tomorrow to pay for today’s problem’.
Tijuana’s Treasurer, Ricardo Chavarria, said the city spends about 600,000 pesos a day supporting the migrant caravan or roughly $30,000.
The outgoing administration of Enrique Peña Nieto leaves office Friday while incoming President Andrés Manual López Obrador starts Saturday.
City resources are strained as local government reaches the end of the fiscal year and their top priority is not to cut municipal services, Chavarria said.
