As the flow of migrants across the San Diego border continues to increase, a key shelter operator is on the brink of shutting down due to a lack of funds.
Over the last few weeks, Customs and Border Protection has dropped off 10,000 migrants in the streets of San Diego. KPBS border reporter Gustavo Solis says local immigrant aid organizations helping the migrants are running out of money.
Most of the migrants are pursuing asylum claims in the United States and will only stay in San Diego for a short time. They have friends or relatives in other parts of the country, Toczylowski said.Casa Familiar is the nonprofit providing space for the aid center. Immigrant Defenders, Haitian Bridge Alliance, Al Otro Lado and other mutual aid organizations provide additional services.“Nonprofits cannot do it alone,” Toczylowski said.
Coraspe, who is from Venezuela, fled home because of the country’s violence and economic decline. He traveled through 10 countries before reaching Mexico in May and finally entered the United States on Sunday.However, just because Coraspe claims asylum, there is no guarantee an immigration judge will accept it. The asylum denial rate in U.S. immigration courts is 51% so far this fiscal year, according to data from the federal government.
The hospital is on pace to receive more than 360 border patients this year, which would be a new record, he added.
