#2,250 - Huge number of illegals crossing at San Diego propel Cali to #1 busiest illegal border crossing

San Diego has unexpectedly topped the charts in illegal immigrant crossings, surpassing sectors in Texas which traditionally held these figures. This shift follows the implementation of stringent border control measures by Texas, including controversial legislation allowing for the state-managed deportation of undocumented migrants. This enforcement push by Texas has funneled migrants toward more lenient states like California, specifically into the San Diego sector. The recent spike in crossings culminated in over 6,997 arrests in one week—a figure usually seen monthly in other sectors. This influx has strained local resources, forcing migrants to seek temporary refuge in places like airport bathrooms, highlighting the broader implications of current border policy and state responses.
