San Diego County District 5 Supervisor Jim Desmond outright declared that the American immigration system “has failed” amid the crippling migrant crisis.
Speaking to local reporters, Desmond, whose city has seen an influx of 2,000 migrants this week alone, said that San Diego does not have the resources to handle this crisis and said officials should stop the influx immediately.
“We’re not the immigration department. We don’t have these types of resources available,” he said. “The best cure would be, when we’re at capacity, stop letting people in for a while. We need a better system. Our immigration system has failed. It is broken. This is not the way to run an immigration system.”
