Many migrants have been processed at the border and have made their way to different parts of the U.S. – some here in the Bay Area.
SAN JOSE -- The U.S.-Mexico border has been topping headlines this month. Leading up to the expiration of the COVID-era Title 42 policy, there was a rise in the number of migrants at the border wanting to seek asylum. Those numbers have since dropped.
Paola and her family tell KPIX 5 that they were released from a processing center near the border with a court date in California. They landed at the San Jose Mineta International Airport this month late at night uncertain where to go next. "I would tell God, 'God, if you have us here, it's with a purpose. Guide me, guide me. Send me an angel to guide us. I want my kids to have a place, a place where they can rest, at least for a day. And God didn't just send me one, he sent me many."
Paola and her family let us into what life was looking like for them one morning in that first week. They got up before 9 a.m. Paola and her husband Oscar got breakfast ready for their kids with the food that had been donated to them. They heated up chicken in the microwave and served it on plastic covers.
It's been a long journey for Paola and her family. She and Oscar want to be able to provide for their family. But Purves said getting a work permit could take some time.
