The San Diego County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday on a 3-0 vote to spend $3 million for services to help migrants and asylum seekers with various needs, such as translation assistance and transportation.
Proposed by Vargas, the $3 million -- provided through the American Rescue Plan Act -- will also help migrants and asylum seekers to help them move beyond San Diego County with geographic information, access to equipment and Wi- Fi to contact sponsor relatives, food snacks, water, hygiene kits, restrooms and other services.
One San Diego resident said while he acknowledged the tough journey migrants make to get to American soil,"It is not our responsibility to take care of people that chose to immigrant to our country illegally." Vargas earlier said the funding was intended as a stopgap measure until federal funds can take the burden off local governments and NGOs.
Lawson-Remer, who authored and supported the policy in 2021, said it is working as intended and has provided"free, constitutionally afforded access to an attorney to represent them in removal proceedings," according to a statement from her office. Nearly 800 people have been provided representation through the program with case results ranging from dismissal to deportation, she said.
