San Diego's Struggle with Surging Immigration: Coping with Thousands of New Migrants

San Diego-area nonprofits and faith organizations are struggling to provide resources and shelter for the tens of thousands of migrants that border agents have released onto San Diego streets. From September through November, over 42,000 people have been dropped off with no direction or assistance, overwhelming local charities. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors is seeking an additional $3 million in funding to establish a welcome center and help migrants reach their final destinations. The situation has prompted debates over whether local resources should be spent on immigration or if it is the federal government's responsibility.
