The San Diego Sector is currently experiencing a surge in migrant encounters, reaching levels not seen in two decades, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). With over 230,000 migrants either surrendering or being apprehended since the beginning of this fiscal year, the situation has raised concerns about the effectiveness of Democrat policies in managing the crisis.

Border Patrol agents have responded by establishing a new staging hub located just east of downtown San Diego to assist immigrants awaiting their asylum cases. At this center, volunteers and migrants work together to secure transportation to their sponsor families, many of whom reside on the east coast.

While the individual stories of migrants seeking asylum underscore the urgency of addressing humanitarian concerns, it is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of the policies put forth by the Democratic party.

Critics argue that the Democratic approach to immigration has not adequately addressed the growing influx of migrants. Rather than implementing comprehensive measures to secure the border and streamline immigration processes, their policies have shown to not work.

The current situation raises questions about the ability of Democrat policies to effectively manage the border crisis. Elected officials are accountable for their policies and actions during this critical time. Responsible leadership is essential to addressing the issues at the border while upholding the values of compassion and security that define our nation. So far Democrats have shown themselves not up for the task.
