Description
County Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to declare the conditions along the southern border as a humanitarian crisis.
"In a unanimous decision today, we took action to declare an urgent humanitarian crisis, urging the Federal Government to step in with additional resources and measures. We seek either to limit the number of asylum seekers released into our region or, alternatively, to secure the resources required by our Non-Government Partners to effectively manage their journey to their ultimate destinations," Chairwoman Vargas said in a statement.
This declaration follows an influx of migrants at the Southern border recently. Nearly 7,800 migrants have been dropped off at transit stations in San Diego since September 13.
