Hundreds of migrants are arriving at the San Diego border. Many of them are hoping for a shot at asylum.
As of Wednesday morning, a Border Patrol Union representative said there were more than 2,000 migrants in processing centers around the county. The representative said that is not counting the hundreds camped out between border fences in San Ysidro.Cameras were rolling as migrants left buses with paperwork in hand with their court date on it. Many of them were left to figure out the next step on their journeys with just a backpack in hand.
This may bring up memories of four months ago when Title 42 was lifted when we also saw buses full of migrants leaving several processing centers around the county. "I would say over the past week, we've seen an increase in the number of people waiting in this space," said Pedro Rio, executive director, American Friends Service Committee.
"It's terrible. You're just processing all day and let them go out the door. It's overwhelming, but they've got to be there. They've got to man it," said Swanson.
