SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The San Diego County Board of Supervisors is taking up a readiness plan to “ensure the safety and well-being of asylum seekers” as it expects “an anticipated substantial increase in the number” once Title 42 is lifted.
Part of the board’s resolution is a call for the federal government to provide more financial support and other resources to help migrants who will transit through San Diego bound for other parts of the country.

“Now, more than ever we should lead the way in building a just and humane immigration system that rises to meet the challenges of the current situation around the world,” said Chairwoman Nora Vargas. “This effort starts locally, and it will take a bipartisan approach to solve this humanitarian issue. While this happens, and with the safety of the asylum seekers in mind, we need to ensure that we are ready with the services and resources they need to receive them in the most humane way in their journey to their destination.”
