After dozens of migrants were left at transit stations across San Diego County in the last week, volunteers stepped in to help get them to their final destinations.
A video taken at an Oceanside shelter shows a group of migrants sitting on the floor eating a makeshift Christmas dinner.They were one the groups that was dropped off on Christmas Eve at the Rancho Del Oro Sprinter station in Oceanside. Max Disposti, with the North County LGBTQ Resource Center said the fact that they were left there on a holiday meant fewer resources and help were available."Even the nonprofits available might not be able to step in right away," he said.
Disposti was one of the people providing support to the migrants who, he said, were coming from Colombia, Nicaragua, and Turkey — all trying to get in touch with their sponsor families. And while the Rancho Del Oro Sprinter station is a local commuter line, it has no direct connection to the airport, where many migrants hoped to find a flight to their final destinations.
"They were not even aware of their whereabouts. Where they were, why they were there, how far they were from the airport," Dispoti said."They had no food, no water, no support, no cell phone lines or charge." Similar drop-offs were reported in El Cajon. But Disposti said many of the migrants he's helped were processed in Arizona. Federal authorities confirm they sometimes move people from the place where they are being processed to a different"sector" along the border.
