Description
In the Jacumba Hot Springs area, a growing number of migrants seeking asylum in the United States are coming through holes in the border wall.
Border Patrol has set up staging areas for them in large dirt lots to wait for buses that will take them to processing centers.
But that wait can take days.
In the meantime, migrants huddle around small fires, play games with their kids, and wonder what's next. The lucky ones get real tents that were discarded after the Susan G. Komen 3-Day walk. Others make due with blankets and tarps.
“The number of migrants in the open air detention sites is growing daily,” said Sam Schultz.
He noticed the situation out there, about 80 miles east of San Diego, started going from bad to worse around 10 weeks ago. The groups are getting bigger, overwhelming the process.
