SAN DIEGO — For months, ABC 10News has been reporting on the dramatic increase in migrants crossing into San Diego.
Onlookers see what look like abandoned campsites filled with blankets, trash and even clothing just minutes down the road. San Diego Sector Border Patrol Chief Patricia McGurk-Daniel says the term open-air detention site is dangerous. "These are the things that keep me up at night as a chief not only for the migrants that are being put into this position by criminal organizations but also this is where my agents work," said Chief McGurk-Daniel.She explained why it is sometimes taking up to three days to get migrants to processing facilities.
