San Diego is not only a popular tourist destination but has become a favorite spot for migrants to illegally slip across the US-Mexico border, new data shows.
An astounding 8,016 migrants were apprehended in the second week of May alone — that’s after a jaw-dropping 10,023 were caught two weeks prior, according to figures shared by the region’s Border Patrol.
The numbers show no signs of slowing down, with more than 35,490 arrests made in April, making it the busiest of the Border Patrol’s nine sectors along the southern border for the second month in a row — and for the first time since the 1990s.
The sudden surge could be blamed on the other states suffering from migrant fatigue, like Texas, cracking down on their borders, forcing aliens and their smugglers to seek out easier paths to the US.
California — a Sanctuary State — has proven more forgiving, especially in San Diego, which released a “minimum” of 125,000 migrants from detention onto the city streets “without proper vetting” in the six months since September 2023, officials told The Post this month.
