TIJUANA – Armed U.S. border patrol officers sit idly along a twisting mountain road that divides California and its southern neighbor, Baja Mexico, surveying the parched terrain that extends to the ocean.
Some days, U.S.-bound illegal immigrants surrender themselves for asylum. Other days, bored and frustrated Mexican teens toss stones at the officers from behind the rocky shields. But now change is in the air, as people on both sides of the border – and the law – await the arrival of President-elect Donald Trump in the White House.
"We are very worried, no one was expecting those results," Martha Leticia Castaneda Rojas, Tijuana City Council member and president of the Border Affairs Committee, told FoxNews.com. "We're all still in shock."
Rojas and others now fear Trump’s plan to deport up to two million illegal immigrant criminals will flood the border city.
