Description
While the large crowds of migrants waiting along the border may be gone, the need is not. The San Diego community is pitching in to help migrants as they wait for the possibility to enter the U.S.
Shane Harris, president of the People’s Association of Justice Advocates, says he’s seen first-hand the need and desperation many people are facing.
“It was greatly concerning to see folks sleeping on the rocks and the dirt, on trash bags,” said Harris.
Even though border patrol agents have taken in those migrants, Harris says many are still in need.
“People have a misconception about that portion in between the Tijuana and San Diego borders being cleared out that they think the migrant issue is over, and it's not. There are hundreds if not thousands convening on the other side of the border finding shelter over there and going around Tijuana that are desperately in need of basic resources,” continued Harris.
The nonprofit is organizing a humanitarian convoy that will travel into Mexico to deliver the supplies.
