This policy has sparked outrage among local politicians who are now voicing\u200c their concerns.<\/p>\n<p>The reason behind these drop-offs is an attempt to clear a space between two U.S.-Mexico border fences where\u2062 over 700 \u200cmigrants, asylum-seekers, and refugees\u200d had been camping. According to a border patrol statement, the Pedestrian West border crossing in San Ysidro was closed on September 14 to process the\u2064 individuals stuck\u2063 at the\u200d border. As a result, migrants have been\u200b transported to transit centers as far\u2063 north as Oceanside.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/2-san-diego-county-supervisors-criticize-immigrant-legal-defense-program-5491847\">2 San Diego County Supervisors Criticize Immigrant Legal\u200c Defense Program<\/a><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n      <strong>9\/14\/2023<\/strong>\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n      <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/san-diego-supervisors-continue-emergency-on-u-s-mexico-border-sewage-issue-5491857\">San Diego Supervisors Continue Emergency on US-Mexico\u2064 Border Sewage Issue<\/a><br \/>\n      <br \/>\n      <strong>9\/14\/2023<\/strong>\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Representative Mike Levin (D-Dana Point) has \u2062been \u2064actively involved in assisting\u200d the migrants dropped off in Oceanside. He has been in close\u2063 communication with the city&#8217;s elected leaders, senior staff, and local social services\u2063 organizations. Rep. Levin has also expressed his concerns to the White House \u200bregarding the lack of resources provided to the community. He is \u2063determined to \u2064find a safe and respectful resolution to this \u200csituation, \u2063emphasizing the urgent need for Congress to \u2063address the broken immigration system.<\/p>\n<p>San Diego\u2064 County Supervisor Jim Desmond took a more direct approach, criticizing the drop-off policy as inhumane and lacking compassion. He believes that the federal government is failing in its \u200bobligation to protect the people of San Diego County. Supervisor \u200dDesmond argues \u200dthat if the government \u2062wants\u2063 to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-republicans-push-back-as-biden-admin-remains-confident-despite-low-immigration-approval-rating\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Republicans Push Back As Biden Admin Remains Confident Despite Low Immigration Approval Rating\">process asylum seekers<\/a>, it\u200d must\u200d provide sufficient resources to\u2062 manage the influx of people entering the area. He also highlights the potential impact on the region&#8217;s existing homelessness\u200d problem, stating that San Diegans should\u200d not be\u2063 forced \u200cto bear\u2062 the consequences of federal actions.<\/p>\n<p>The overwhelming number of \u200ddrop-offs has put a strain on nonprofits like \u200dJewish \u2063Family Service, which \u200doperates the shelter system for the San Diego Rapid Response Network. In response, the \u2064nonprofit has\u200d announced that they will only\u2062 accept the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-politicians-speak-out-over-mass-migrant-drop-offs-at-san-diego-transit-stations\/\" title=\"California politicians condemn mass migrant drop-offs at San Diego transit stations.\">vulnerable asylum seekers released<\/a> by the Department of Homeland Security, prioritizing individuals with medical conditions, \u2063families,\u2062 pregnant people, LGBTQI individuals,\u2062 and older adults, as space\u2062 permits.<\/p>\n<p>County Supervisor Joel Anderson has written a letter\u2064 to President Biden, requesting assistance in processing asylum \u200cseekers entering San \u200bDiego. He urges the \u200bfederal \u200cgovernment to halt\u200c the lateral transfer of asylum seekers\u2062 from other states,\u200c emphasizing the need to address the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/eritrea-acknowledges-presence-in-ethiopian-human-rights-crisis\/\" title=\"Eritrea Acknowledges Presence in Ethiopian Human Rights Crisis\">ongoing humanitarian crisis<\/a>\u2063 without exacerbating the region&#8217;s\u200c existing \u200chomelessness problem. According to Supervisor \u200bAnderson, the San Diego Rapid Response Network has provided shelter and humanitarian \u2063aid to over 157,000 individuals since\u200b the fall \u200bof 2018 when the Department \u2062of\u200d Homeland Security began releasing hundreds\u2062 of migrant families onto the streets of San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We cannot allow [the Department of Homeland Security] to release an unknown number of\u2063 individuals directly into our community, leaving them to fend for themselves at transit centers throughout the region. This\u2063 is neither safe nor fair to San Diego County residents or those seeking refuge in our \u2063border county,&#8221; wrote Supervisor Anderson.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why\u200d does San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria condemn the \u2063drop-off policy and what \u2062does he believe\u2064 federal agencies should do to address the immigration issue?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ineffective. Desmond argued that the sudden influx of migrants placed \u2062a burden on\u2063 local resources and services. He expressed concern for the health and safety of both the migrants and the local community. Supervisor Desmond called on federal and state authorities to work together in finding \u2063a better solution to address the immigration \u200cissue.<\/p>\n<p>Another prominent voice\u200c speaking out against the drop-off policy is San Diego Mayor\u200b Todd Gloria. Mayor Gloria issued a statement condemning the decision by U.S. Customs and Border \u200bProtection to transport migrants to \u200btransit centers without proper\u200c planning or coordination with \u200dlocal authorities. He emphasized the importance of federal agencies working\u200b collaboratively with local governments to ensure the well-being of both\u200c the migrants and the community.<\/p>\n<p>In light of these concerns, San Diego politicians are urging the Biden administration to re-evaluate the current approach to handling the immigration situation at the border. They believe that a more comprehensive and effective solution\u2062 is needed to\u200b address \u2063the root causes of migration and provide humanitarian assistance to those in\u2062 need.<\/p>\n<p>The influx of migrants to San Diego County has also reignited the debate over immigration policies and border security. \u2063While some argue that the drop-off policy is necessary to\u200b clear space at the border and process individuals in \u200da timely manner, others believe that it fails to adequately address the\u200b underlying issues\u200b contributing to \u200bmass \u200bmigration.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the drop-off policy argue that it disrupts the lives\u2063 of both the migrants and\u200c the local community. They believe that a more compassionate and comprehensive approach is needed, one that focuses on providing support and \u2063resources to migrants while also ensuring the safety \u200band well-being of the local population.<\/p>\n<p>As the situation\u2064 at the U.S.-Mexico border continues to evolve, it is clear that the drop-off policy implemented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection \u2064has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/irish-womens-lgbt-football-team-with-male-player-beats-finals-opponent-by-8-goals\/\" title=\"Irish Women\u2019s \"LGBT\" Football Team With Male Player Beats Finals Opponent By 8 Goals\">sparked significant controversy<\/a> and disagreement among San Diego politicians. \u200dThe voices of Representative Mike Levin, Supervisor Jim \u2063Desmond, and Mayor Todd Gloria echo the concerns of many in the community who are seeking a more humane and effective approach to addressing the complex issue of immigration. It is now up to the Biden administration and \u2063Congress to listen to these concerns and work towards finding a resolution that upholds both the values of compassion and the need for a secure border.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN DIEGO\u2014Politicians in San Diego County are criticizing the policy of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents dropping off hundreds of migrants at transit centers.
