Tijuana has always been a city of migrants seeking a better standard of living. This includes the opportunity to cross to the other side_(USA) or to remain in the city and find employment in the manufacturing industry (which represents almost 50% of the economy) or in the service sector, which is supported by leisure tourism, medical tourism or the culinary industry.
Currently, the city is experiencing an influx of migrants from Central America and the Caribbean. They settled along the border between San Diego and Tijuana in organized groups. Their hope is that the Biden administration will respond to their request in a more humane manner. The photographs depict the current and growing migrant camp in Tijuana, including families, young adults, individuals with disabilities, and vulnerable people.
