The closure of a migrant shelter in San Diego is forcing the mass release of hundreds of illegals into local neighborhoods.
Border patrol has been dropping off the immigrants at bus stations after the taxpayer-funded South Bay Community Center ran out of money and was forced to shut down last week.
CBP says more than 140,000 immigrants have crossed the San Diego border since October. 21,000 of them have been Chinese nationals.
The center says it’s been handling 800-migrants a day, forcing it to prematurely burn through its funding.
Supervisor Jim Desmond said San Diego County couldn’t afford to hemorrhage any more local taxpayer dollars to manage a problem created at the federal level by the Biden administration.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors is expected to discuss a long-term plan on Tuesday for a federally funded migrant welcome center and shelter.
Supervisor Joel Anderson is also expected to send a letter to President Biden. In it, he will request that Biden temporarily closes the San Diego border in order to give the county the time and funding to deal with the migrant street releases.

What proactive measures are being taken by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors and Supervisor Joel Anderson to address the challenges posed by the mass release of migrants onto the streets
The closure of a migrant shelter in San Diego has resulted in the mass release of hundreds of undocumented immigrants into local neighborhoods. The taxpayer-funded South Bay Community Center ran out of money and was forced to shut down last week, leaving border patrol with no choice but to drop off the immigrants at bus stations.
According to CBP (Customs and Border Protection), over 140,000 immigrants have crossed the San Diego border since October, with 21,000 of them being Chinese nationals. The closure of the shelter has put a strain on local resources, as they were previously handling up to 800 migrants a day.
Supervisor Jim Desmond has expressed concern over the situation, stating that San Diego County cannot afford to continue shouldering the financial burden caused by the federal government’s failures under the Biden administration. He argues that it is the responsibility of the federal government to properly manage and secure the border, rather than burdening local communities.
Desmond took to Twitter to address President Biden directly, urging him to visit the affected areas and witness the gaps in border security that thousands of people walk through every day. He also highlighted the danger posed by releasing undocumented immigrants onto the streets without proper vetting.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors is set to discuss a long-term plan for a federally funded migrant welcome center and shelter. Additionally, Supervisor Joel Anderson plans to send a letter to President Biden requesting a temporary closure of the San Diego border. This would give the county the necessary time and funding to address the challenges posed by the mass release of migrants onto the streets.
The closure of the shelter and subsequent release of undocumented immigrants into local neighborhoods has brought attention to the need for comprehensive immigration reform. It is crucial for the federal government to take swift action to address this issue and provide support to local communities grappling with the consequences of inadequate border control measures.
