<p>Un diluvio que duró casi una semana impactó la región de San Diego y Tijuana la semana pasada. La fuerte precipitación cobró la vida de varias personas, dañó infraestructura, derribó árboles y cableado eléctrico en muchos vecindarios y, hacia el final, también trajo una pizca de nieve en partes de Tijuana.<br>

<p>Fue un día sombrío para los mexicanos el miércoles cuando el presidente de los Estados Unidos, Donald J. Trump, mando sus órdenes ejecutivas cuales ordenan la construcción de un muro fronterizo y el retiro de fondos federales a las ciudades santuario del país.<br>
Pero al sur de la frontera, líderes empresariales de Tijuana no parecían ser muy preocupados por la noticia, una que muchos funcionarios mexicanos pensaron ser una promesa de la campaña política que nunca podría llegar a ser realidad.<br>

<p>The storms and near-freezing temperatures that hit San Diego have caused a spike in the number of homeless people becoming ill. The lack of sufficient shelters and permanent housing for the thousands of people living in San Diego streets make this a more urgent crisis.<br>
This past Wednesday, January 25, the City of San Diego hosted its 11th Homeless Connect event, which provides homeless people everything from basic services such as haircuts and warm clothing to specialized medical care and eyeglasses.<br>

<p>It was a somber day for Mexicans on Wednesday when U.S. President Donald J. Trump, through executive orders, began a crackdown on immigration with a 2,000-mile border wall and threats to pull federal grant money for sanctuary cities in the country.<br>
But across the U.S. border, Tijuana business leaders were not too rattled by the news, which was based on a campaign promise many Mexican officials brushed off as a mere threat from an all talk, no action candidate.<br>
