San Diego is now the number one city for migrant arrivals at the southern border. This is a first since the late 90’s. Tucson used to hold the top spot, but last week’s numbers show Border Agents in San Diego arrested eight-thousand-989 in one week, whereas Tucson arrested 75 hundred. San Diego Chief Border Patrol Agent Patricia McGurk-Daniel posted the numbers on X. In the week that ended on Tuesday, San Diego arrested over nine-thousand-513 migrants from 74 countries, including 218 children.
The White House has dedicated 45-million-dollars to support California’s migrant assistance programs, hoping to help the migrants who’ve crossed the southern border.
