San Diego's well-oiled system of migrant shelters is being tested like never before as U.S. Customs and Border Protection releases migrants to the streets of California’s second-largest city because shelters are full
Migrants line up to take a bus to the airport Friday, Oct. 6, 2023, in San Diego. San Diego's well-oiled system of migrant shelters is being tested like never before as U.S. Customs and Border Protection releases migrants to the streets of California's second-largest city because shelters are full. SAN DIEGO — — Over five years, the largest U.S. city on the Mexican border developed a well-oiled system to shelter asylum-seekers.
“Many do not know where they are, that this is San Diego, this is San Diego region, the nearest airport is San Diego and how to get to their final destination. That is what we’re trying to provide support with,” said Paulina Reyes-Perrariz, managing attorney for Immigrant Defenders Law Center’s cross-border initiative.Similar to other U.S. border cities, about 95% of migrants in San Diego quickly move to other parts of the country. That's a sharp contrast to cities far from the border,.
“It’s a brief moment of intervention before they can move on to be connected with their loved ones,” said Kate Clark, senior director for immigrant services at Jewish Family Service of San Diego. Jewish Family Service has maintained shelter capacity at about 950 at a hotel and another large facility.Aid groups say government support is needed even for the services at the San Diego transit center parking lot, where migrants get travel advice from volunteers over the steady noise of railroad crossing bells and bus horns. County supervisors on Tuesday were set to consider whether to spend $3 million to keep the service for three months.
