TIJUANA, MexicoJosé Aguilar could taste the teargas tossed at the migrants as they marched to the border on Sunday.
Aguilar, 20, doesnt seem deterred, howevernot by the border patrol, not by the teargas, and not by President Donald Trump's repeated declarations that the caravan of Central American migrants would never enter the U.S.
Aguilar even acknowledges he is likely to march to the border again, hoping to capture the ear of the border patrol agents on the other side and press his case that he only wants to work in America. And he figures he has another force working in his favor, too: faith.
I have faith in God well get to the United States, said Aguilar, who carries a Bible and a change of clothes in his backpack. With the faith we have, [Trump] have a hard heart, but if God touches it, hell change and let us in.
More than 7,000 migrants have congregated in Tijuana, hoping and praying for a miracle and passage into the United States.

Faith and prayers aren't going to help. They need a cadre of immigration lawyers.
