You're on your own: Shocking moment CBP releases hundreds of migrants into San Diego after border city ran out of cash to care for them
2024-02-25
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Shocking video showed border patrol agents releasing hundreds of migrants out at a San Diego bus stop just a week after the city had to close a shelter intended for them due to lack of funding.

Non-profit SBCS
... formerly know as South Bay Community Services...
shut the recently-opened migrant facility for good a week ago - reflecting the bleak picture across the country as the numbers of asylum seekers coming to the US remain sky-high.

The over 350 migrants were left to their own devices on the street after CBP let them free at a transit center, though aid groups tried to help them as best they could, attempting to put together makeshift facilities and attempted to take them to a parking lot so they could charge their phones and hail rides to the airport.

They were also left with nowhere stand and no public bathrooms in a completely full parking lot.

Many of the migrants - who came from anywhere from South America to Africa to China - were still grateful to be here, with plans to either meet up with family or head to immigration court trials in other cities.

Services had been stretched to breaking point with up to 1,500 people flooding in per day.
We’ve seen reports that the illegals, shut out of Texas now that Governor Abbott has pretty much closed that section of the border, are choosing California instead. Perhaps one day the locals will decide to resist their government’s bright ideas.
Mayor Todd Gloria had just two years earlier attempted to expand funding for migrants, opening an official city Office of Immigrant Affairs and the city spent $6million to attempt to provide services.

South Bay Community Services used that money on $750,000 for personnel, $152,000 on operating expenses and the rest to serve around 81,000 migrants dating back to October, with other charities and shelters at capacity and unable to help.

Nora Vargas, chair of the San Diego County board of supervisors, has echoed the worries of many major city mayors and wrote a letter to President Joe Biden begging for help.

#7  Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, Wow, that was a blast from the past. Thinking out of the box. Really cleaver.

#6  #1 - how about renegotiate the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and give back the coasties up through San Fran. Only requires 2/3rd of the Senate to ratify.
