Supervisors unanimously called for the development of a comprehensive plan to respond to a possible influx of asylum seekers in light of the potential lifting of the federal Title 42 policy.
SAN DIEGO - The county Board of Supervisors Tuesday unanimously called for the development of a comprehensive plan to respond to a possible influx of asylum seekers in light of the potential lifting of the federal Title 42 policy.
The plan will also involve Robbins-Meyer working with regional groups on funding sources, and sending a letter to the county's Congressional delegation urging them to prioritize comprehensive immigration reform. According to county officials, during a four-day period in late December,"existing migrant shelters reached and surpassed capacity, as the onward travel of asylum seekers was delayed due to weather and travel-related challenges. This resulted in the `street release' of hundreds of asylum seekers by federal authorities."
Supervisor Jim Desmond said he was happy to see the proposal, and mentioned how asylum seekers were dropped off at county transit centers right before Christmas, because there weren't available beds elsewhere.
