    Tijuana Not Prepared For Trump's Proposed Immigration Policies

    Reporter: Tyche Hendricks, KQED

Looking ahead to the possibility of mass deportations of people already in the U.S. those who run migrant shelters in the border city of Tijuana say they’re not prepared to receive a wave of people.
