Migrant holding centers in a key border region are overflowing — despite Biden’s border ‘crackdown’
SUMMARY
Despite President Biden's recent executive order intended to limit asylum claims, migrant holding centers in the San Diego border region are still over capacity. Border Patrol facilities designed for 1,000 people are holding 1,500 illegal aliens, indicating a 150% occupancy rate. This overflow persists due to loopholes and exemptions within the order, allowing migrants from over 100 countries to remain in the U.S. Among them are individuals from China, India, and various Central American countries. Additionally, pregnant or injured illegals, unaccompanied children, and those using the CBP One app are exempt from the restrictions, further straining the holding centers.
