00:00This baby was born two weeks ago in Tijuana.
00:04Her mother wanted her to be born in the United States.
00:08But Laura and her boyfriend have been living in this shelter
00:11on Mexico's northern border for six months,
00:14waiting for their appointment to apply for asylum in the United States.
00:19They hoped to make it across the border before the election.
00:23I feel that maybe they are going to get rid of the application
00:31and it will be more complicated for us to enter the country
00:34because we want to do it legally.
00:39Widespread concern that Trump will withdraw the CBP-1 app
00:43and other entry programs may encourage a wave of immigration
00:46in the next two months, before he takes office in January.
00:51José MarÃa GarcÃa, the director of this shelter,
00:55and other human rights activists say they've noticed a change
00:58in conversations in migrant chat rooms.
01:04Right now we are expecting some caravans will start out from the southern border.
01:10The community is increasingly seeking to enter in an irregular manner.
01:14That's a serious problem, as there's a very strong issue of insecurity.
01:21A risk that will multiply if Trump closes the border on his first day,
01:25as one of his advisers has suggested.
01:29This, added to the massive deportation program that he announced in his campaign,
01:33would put a massive strain on Mexico's northern border.
01:38The government of the state of Baja California itself has already anticipated this,
01:43and claims that at least 40% of the shelters in Tijuana still have capacity.
01:49However, the cold and dust in these tents are bad conditions for babies.
01:53Claudia is a new mother. She's from Colombia and worried.
02:03More fear. We don't know what will happen between now and January 20th,
02:08what change he's going to make.
02:10Because we can see that his change is drastic, very hard.
02:14If we can't, we have to wait here in Mexico to see what happens.
02:20With majorities in Congress and the Senate,
02:23Trump would be able to implement anti-immigration measures
02:27and impose tariffs on Mexico if it does not stem the flow of foreigners.
02:34He made similar threats during his previous term,
02:37and the Mexican government made life much more difficult for migrants.
02:43But the numbers of migrants increased anyway.
02:48The current Mexican administration has little room to maneuver,
02:52to comply with Washington's expected demands.
02:58It doesn't have the capacity to stop the entire flow.
03:01That's why it could be a solution to increase these programs,
03:05to offer employment to all these people.
03:08The migrants themselves already say that if they didn't have the opportunity
03:12to get to the United States, they would stay in Mexico.
03:18That may be the only option for many seeking a better future away from home.
