SAN YSIDRO, Calif. (KGTV) — More migrants are being dropped off at transit centers in San Diego County.
A spokesperson for San Diego County District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond told ABC 10News more than 2,000 migrants have been dropped off in the county this week.
At the Iris Transit Center, migrants are getting their first taste of the United States. The spokesperson said 292 migrants were dropped off there by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Sunday Morning alone.
"I have come to the land of safety and freedom," migrant Mohamed Sweilem told ABC 10 News through a translation app. Sweilem is in the U.S. from Mauritania, a country in northwest Africa.
Sweilem was excited to talk with ABC 10News, in his native Arabic.
"I have been gone for a month or more since my approach," he said, adding he was coming from immigration detention.
Local migrant shelters say they are at capacity, which has triggered the street releases in the county.
But Sweilem doesn't plan to be in San Diego County much longer. He's headed to New York, where he says he has family.
"The most important thing is to reach the dream, which is to reach the United States," he said. "I was oppressed in my country."
"One of the best moments we see is when they're finally able to tell their family that they're here," Lindsay Toczylowski, an immigration attorney, said.
Toczylowski is also the director of the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. Her group is helping migrants like Sweilem, providing food, water, phone chargers, and legal advice, while helping the migrants navigate their way.
“It's incredibly diverse, we're utilizing translators, and there are people from all over the world," she says. "These are refugees. These are people who are coming to seek refuge in the United States.

“I was oppressed in my country.”
Turns out I’m becoming oppressed in the USA.
Welcome to the Club, Pal.
What is this "dropped off" that they're talking about?
This is San Diego; it's on the border. There is no "dropping off" here, the people crossed the border directly to get there.
Is this the latest attempt by the LAAP-dog media to usurp the language of the left and redefine "dropping off" from New York and Chicago to now apply to border crossers entering into San Diego directly from Mexico?

No mention in the article as to when Mr. Mohamed Sweilem will start his terrorist activities. But maybe that will be covered in a future article.
RE: “It’s incredibly diverse....there are people from all over the world,” she says. “These are refugees. These are people who are coming to seek refuge in the United States.
There were polls a few years ago that said all over the world people said if they could they would come to live in the United States.
Now they’re all doing it. On our welfare.
This has to stop.
It won’t stop. And when the SHTF we’ll have 75 million illegals running feral.
It's funny, when Abbot or DeSantis does it, it's an outrage, but CBP is sending, literally, MILLIONS of folks all around the country.
Something that strikes me, is that these folks have very strong opinions and desires about where they want to go in the U.S., but you could lock them up with their thoughts for 1,000 years and the thought "Does America want me there?" would never cross their minds. Doesn't bode well for us trying to digest the indigestibles.
Diversity is a false idol of worship in America.
True.
And this doesn’t specifically single out the many literal terrorists waiting for their mission orders who came in with the surges of Latin American illegals.
The trash around the border crossers’ areas always have a few Arabic language Korans left behind.

Maybe we should change our national anthem to “The Big Rock Candy Mountain”.
I’m headed for a land that’s far away
Besides the crystal fountain
So come with me, we’ll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
There’s a land that’s fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
And the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
How often are trains like this making their way to the US? These are the days that will be talked about as the beginning of the end.

Why does leftist language dominate this society? ILLLEGAL ALIENS are NOT MIGRANTS. ILLEGAL ALIENS looking to escape poverty are NOT REFUGEES! COMMUNISTS are NOT PROGRESSIVE!
Turns out I’m becoming oppressed in the USA.
These are our replacements. And we're paying for all this lawless chaos. Policies of sabotage. Most Americans can't afford to buy a home, and they're importing millions more people for them to compete with?
““I have come to the land of safety and freedom,””
The Meritless Garland, The Fey Wray and Mayorkias [sp.] are TOTALLY against personal liberty and freedom of USA citizens.
It’s a fascist, totalitarian future that they are driving.
But..but...80 million mericans voted for PJoe.
Not to mention thousands of Chinese sleepers. No borders, no country. Unfortunately, I think the die is cast.
It was 80 million ballots.
