San Diego migrant center to close after influx of asylum-seekers drain funds: 'Serious problem'
A San Diego migrant center announced it will be forced to close its doors Thursday after running out of funds to assist the overwhelming number of asylum-seekers who have illegally crossed into the county.
The mayor of nearby El Cajon, Calif., told Fox News Thursday that he fears the welcome center’s closure will quickly become a “serious problem” for his community.
“Over the past few months, we’ve seen 100,000 migrants come across the San Diego border,” Mayor Bill Wells told “Fox & Friends First.”
“A lot of those have been absorbed by this county shelter that used taxpayer money. They asked for $3 million and they spent over $6 million and now they say they’re out of money. So we’re going to see migrants congregating in our streets.”
“I think it’s going to become a pretty serious problem pretty quickly.”

The center, which claims to be handling up to 800 migrants a day, has been sending buses to county Border Patrol stations to pick up migrants, bring them back to the site and provide services to prepare them for the journey to their final destination.
“As the number of migrants arriving at the center has increased significantly over the last few weeks, our finite resources have been stretched to the limit,” SBCS CEO Kathie Lembo said in a statement.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained by Fox News reveals that nearly 140,000 illegal immigrants in total have crossed into the San Diego sector since Fiscal Year 2024 began on October 1st.
“The Border Patrol tells us we’re going to go from about 300 drop-offs a day to maybe a thousand drop-offs a day,” Wells said Thursday.

When asked by co-host Todd Piro where the migrants are going to go without the center, Wells said hotels could become an unwelcome solution that compounds the state’s existing homeless problem.
“They spent up to $8,000 per person per month to put somebody up in a hotel, and they seem to have no problem spending that kind of money. It ruins the neighborhoods, it destroys the hotels, it destroys our security infrastructure. And it’s really bad for everybody,” he said.
Among the 140,000 illegal immigrants encountered in San Diego have been thousands of “special interest aliens,” classified as those who come from countries with potential national security concerns.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported Friday that 21,000 Chinese nationals have been apprehended in the San Diego Sector since Oct. 1, according to CBP sources. The number is second only to Colombian nationals and shockingly eclipsed the number of Mexican nationals.
Wells, who recently visited the border, described witnessing an encampment of around 150 male Chinese migrants.
“I think that’s a real serious concern. China is not neutral with us. They’re somewhat of an enemy, at least in a Cold War at this point. And it makes me nervous to see enemies of our nation congregating right in our city,” he said.

Nearly 7.3 million migrants have illegally crossed the southwest border under President Biden’s watch, a number greater than the population of 36 individual states, a Fox News analysis finds.
That figure comes from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which has already reported 961,537 border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October through September. If the current pace of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year 2024 will break last year’s record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico, a border state.
The total number of southwest land border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows.

Crash on freeway in Millbrae leaves driver dead after reportedly overturning multiple times, CHP says
A driver died Thursday evening after reportedly overturning multiple times and being ejected from the vehicle in Millbrae, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol said the crash happened around 7 p.m. on southbound Highway 101 at Millbrae Avenue.
Officers said they received a report that a vehicle had overturned multiple times and that an occupant was possibly ejected.
At the scene, officers found a man, who was determined to be the driver of a white Toyota Camry, lying in the road with major injuries. He was taken to a hospital where he later died, officers said.
It was determined that a second vehicle was involved in the crash and no one was injured in the second vehicle.
The CHP said the driver of the Camry was not wearing a seatbelt.
Three lanes of southbound Highway 101 were closed for an extended period.
The Denver Nuggets are running it back with at least one free agent from last year’s team. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Denver Nuggets have re-signed point guard Tyus Jones.
Free agent guard Tyus Jones has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the Denver Nuggets, sources tell ESPN. Jones played a reserve role after joining Denver on the buyout market last season, and enters his 12th NBA season as his agent Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management… pic.twitter.com/OxPTfX8C7l

Jones played 11 regular season games for Denver last year and got into 3 post-season contests as well. The Nuggets are desperately lacking in point guards who can handle the rock, especially after they decided not to pick up the fourth-year option on fellow point guard Jalen Pickett. Denver liked Jones and his ability to handle on-ball pressure better in the playoffs, and obviously feel there is utility in having him on the 15-man roster for his passing acumen and mistake avoidance despite being a target at just 6 feet tall. They did not draft a point guard, so it’s possible Jones is the first PG off the bench for the Nuggets – but in recent years they’ve relied on players like Bruce Brown to shoulder some of those duties as well even if they’re not pure point guards, so it remains to be seen just how much court time Jones is going to get.
His 5:1 assist-to-turnover ratio in his career points to his high floor in ball security though, and the Nuggets have proven time and again over the past several years that they can be truly great if they don’t have silly turnovers. Jones comes back to the Mile High looking to help the Nuggets minimize their mistakes so they can maximize their talent.
Welcome back, Tyus!
Quentin Mosby apparently has decided he’s better off playing his high school basketball on the shores of the Gulf Coast rather than just up the street from Lake Washington.
At IMG Academy, rather than the Lakeside School.
In South Florida, rather than North Seattle.
On Thursday, multiple basketball websites reported the 6-foot-2 Mosby, after two years at academic-minded Lakeside, will transfer and play his final two seasons at sports-centric IMG in the coastal community of Bradenton.
It appears Mosby simply needed a step up in basketball competition after averaging 30.4 points per game for Lakeside as a sophomore and continuing his high-scoring ways with Seattle Select on the Under Armour All-Star circuit this summer at a 24.5 clip.
The forseeable drawback to this arrangement is the University of Washington basketball program, which made him a scholarship offer last month, will now have to conduct a long-distance courtship of this savvy player rather than just head to a local gym.
NEWS: 2028 4⭐ Quentin Mosby will transfer to IMG Academy (FL) for his junior season of high school, sources told @LeagueRDY.
Mosby currently leads the UAA U17 in scoring and has picked up offers from Utah, Georgia Tech, Washington and Stanford amongst others.

Mosby is clearly a mature player with the ball in his hands, able to go to the hoop with authority as well drain 3-pointers from around the perimeter.
Yet he largely was a one-man show at a school that counts its most famous alums as Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Batman actor Adam West, McCaw Cellular founder Craig McCaw, Washington Governor Booth Gardner, Space Needle owner David Skinner and Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll.
Typical of his dominance in the 3A Metro League, Mosby came up with a 40-point, 10-assist performance in Lakeside’s 83-77 overtime victory over Franklin this past January.
His father Dre Mosby reportedly played for Spokane’s John Rogers High School and led the Greater Spokane League in scoring at 20-plus points per game in 1997 after moving with family members from Southern California. He’s now a Seattle gym owner and a fitness trainer.
So good at such a young age, this young Mosby just keeps getting more offensive-minded, showing no reluctance at all to take on older players. He holds offers from Georgia Tech, Stanford, Seattle University, Utah and Weber State, with others such as Gonzaga making contact.
So now, if all goes as planned, it’s on to Florida to see where that will take his game and then whether he’ll come back to play his college basketball in his hometown.
