The pending expiration of Title 42 brought crowds of migrants to the border seeking asylum. It remains to be seen how thin resources in San Diego will be stretched, if at all, now that the pandemic-era policy has officially expired.
“The one thing I would tell the people is that whatever we spend, we'll be asking the federal government to reimburse us,” Wells said.“We know our police are ready for it. Every time we’ve seen a surge in the past, ironically, Chula Vista has really not been affected,” McCann said.And in San Diego, Mayor Todd Gloria said there are shelter beds for migrants, if needed, but didn’t expect many to stay as history has shown.
“Obviously, we don’t know what the future will hold. Obviously, this is multiple years of pent-up demand for crossing in asylum status. But I can tell you, in speaking with our service providers here locally, I know we have the very best in this country. Given the proper resources, I believe they will be able to handle this particular challenge the way that they have done for decades and decades,” said Gloria.
