San Diego migrant center to close after influx of asylum-seekers drain funds: ‘Serious problem’
NY Post ^ | 02/23/2024 | Elizabeth Heckman

A San Diego migrant center announced it will be forced to close its doors Thursday after running out of funds to assist the overwhelming number of asylum-seekers who have illegally crossed into the county.

The mayor of nearby El Cajon, Calif., told Fox News Thursday that he fears the welcome center’s closure will quickly become a “serious problem” for his community.

“Over the past few months, we’ve seen 100,000 migrants come across the San Diego border,” Mayor Bill Wells told “Fox & Friends First.”

“A lot of those have been absorbed by this county shelter that used taxpayer money. They asked for $3 million and they spent over $6 million and now they say they’re out of money. So we’re going to see migrants congregating in our streets.”

“I think it’s going to become a pretty serious problem pretty quickly.”

Yep. Take that 100,000 x 100 and you have 10 million over the past 2-3 years. And you’ve got that problem all over the country now....waiting for the powder keg to explode....or something.

You mean to tell us that the criminal illegals aren’t working jobs to sustain th3mselves, and contribute to the nation like we are told they do by the criminal coddling left?

Gosh, I thought sure the centers would be beakons of institutions built upon hard work and success by illegals suporting themselves and their fellow illegals after pouring across our borders illegally! /s

As they say, never underestimate the ability of liberals to create a crisis where none existed before.

El Cajon is a crummy spot to be On the Street!
Head to Ocean Beach or LA Jolla,
And All Points in between!
Actually Balboa Park is a good spot too.
Fiesta Island might work...At least it could be “Controlled”.

Have they cut the police budget?
Have they stopped planting flowers?
Have they kicked poor Americans out of shelters to make room for invaders?

There’s LOTS more they could do. Just follow the lead of other cities.

How sad is this, El Cajon is already known as little Baghdad and now the government’s dumped thousands more illegals into the area..

“...So we’re going to see migrants congregating in our streets...”

You are going to see much more than “congregating” on the street.

They will be using the street as a toilet.
They will be engaging in sex and masturbating in front of children.
They will be cooking and eating your pets.

You have seen nothing yet. /spit

Yep. The illegals will not remain in one place. Step by step, crime will increase everywhere. At some point, this will not be a police issue. It will be a National Guard issue.

Will governors have the courage to call at the Guard? Sadly, most will not. Then as you noted, the powder keg will eventually explode.

That’s an important point, and something today’s liberals just don’t get. It’s not 1920 anymore. Back then, factories and mills were humming in the big cities. There was plenty of work for unskilled labor.

The jobs are gone. In their place is welfare, and weak laws against retail theft. So cities will be drained of money even as crime explodes.

Alligator moats and flame thrower turrets don’t seem so unreasonable anymore.

One "migrant center" closing, drained of funds? Wait until whole counties and soon states, are bankrupted by the criminal, illegal, alien invaders.

Statistically, these invaders are bound to encounter conceal carriers.

There is a rifle behind every blade of grass and a pistol in every pocket.

And what happens if Deep State decides to cut off the free money to all the unskilled, jobless, military-age males Deep State has imported into this country...
