Downtown San Diego Convention Center to House Unaccompanied Alien Children

Penny Starr 23 Mar 2021

The San Diego Convention Center, located in the heart of downtown and site of the popular annual Comic-Con convention, will be used to house thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) who have crossed the border illegally hoping the Joe Biden administration will give them refugee status.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), some 5,000 minor migrants are in its custody. CNN reported the facility will be run by Health and Human Services (HHS) when the children’s custody is transferred to that agency:

    A date for the first arrivals is still being finalized. Children will be provided with food, medical care, a place to sleep and showers. An outdoor recreational area will also be created onsite, according to a statement from San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairman Nathan Fletcher.

    The average stay for each minor is expected to be about a month, and children will not be allowed to leave until they are released to a family member or guardian, according to the statement.

Dozens of Migrant Girls Test Positive for COVID at San Diego Facility

https://www.newsmax.com/us/migrants-girls-san-diego-covid/2021/03/30/id/1015695/

Dozens of unaccompanied migrant girls have tested positive for COVID-19 at a San Diego facility, it was reported.

A total of 37 out of 476 teenage girls tested positive for COVID-19 at the San Diego Convention Center as of late Monday afternoon, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. All were asymptomatic.

Bonnie Preston, an official at the Department of Health and Human Services, told the Union-Tribune that 27 of the infected children had tested positive before leaving Texas, where they had been held in Border Patrol station holding cells after crossing into the country from Mexico.

The girls who tested positive in Texas were then transported to San Diego on a special quarantined flight, and were the first to arrive at the convention center Saturday night. They then were taken to a special area, separated from the rest of the arriving children.

These 37 are the ones who actually were tested. How many more were not, at the time? How many more would have tested positive after testing was ceased?

I'm kinda wondering if this "convention center" will ever be used for its intended purpose again...

Homeless Shelter Cleared to House Illegal Aliens, Dozens Infected with COVID-19

As if the illegal immigrant crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border were not bad enough, homeless Americans have been booted from a temporary shelter in southern California to make room for scores of migrants, dozens of them infected with COVID-19. Since the Biden administration rolled out the welcome mat, thousands of illegal aliens have entered the country, most of them minors classified as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) by the feds. Now the government is scrambling to meet its legal obligation of caring for them at facilities nationwide operated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

In this case, homeless residents were apparently cleared out of the San Diego Convention Center prematurely to accommodate up to 1,450 UAC, though city officials claim the decision to stop using the facility for the homeless predates the illegal alien crunch. Homeless San Diegans have been housed at the center for about a year as part of an initiative to halt the spread of COVID-19. The San Diego City Council voted to extend the program through March, but evidently it was cut short to bring in the illegal immigrants. The city will relocate about 500 homeless individuals to two local shelters, according to a local news report. “The convention center will be used to house migrants through July and will be operated by the federal government and the county,” the story says.
