Migrants, border officers in limbo as time winds down on Title 42

1 year ago 13

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) -- In the hours leading up to the end of Title 42, migrants and border authorities are playing the waiting game while preparing for the worst.

Migrants continue to gather at various spots along the border between San Diego and Tijuana, with one of the larger groups congregating about a mile and a half to the west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry.

Here, like at the other spots along the border, migrants wait to be picked up by agents.

In the meantime, they survive with water and food provided by good Samaritans, with the Border Patrol making two stops daily to deliver water and granola bars.

What is Title 42 and how has U.S. used it to curb migration?

On the south side of the border, you'll find people like Juan delivering groceries to migrants.

"I've also delivered medicine for a baby," he said.

While Juan is doing this free of charge, others are seen selling food and charging for delivery.
