Dozens of protesters have faith that Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of the country, will stop the passage of migrant caravans.

Among them Fidel Hernández, who was handing out leaflets among the pedestrians that were circulating in the Rio Zone.

"The problem of the caravans has to be resolved as soon as possible and prevent it from happening again because of the social costs that it is having in Tijuana," he said.

Likewise, Hernández commented that the current Central American exodus has affected his family business and the education of his daughter.

He said that with the migratory pact signed by Mexico, foreign migrants lack responsibilities, but enjoy human rights.

So this pact, he said has to be canceled.
