Experts and analysts have also noted that while Tijuana has experienced notable growth in recent years, Trump’s claim lacks basis. According to official data, the city’s development has been steady, but it never reached world-record levels of growth. However, there has been a significant increase in migrants attempting to cross the border into the United States.
