San Diego Border Patrol Flies Illegal Aliens to Texas
A California official is warning that illegal aliens are being flown from San Diego to McAllen on taxpayers’ dime.

The city of San Diego, California, has reportedly been overrun by illegal aliens. Now, they are being flown into Texas.
San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond sounded the alarm on the social media platform X.
He asserted that because Border Patrol facilities in San Diego have reached capacity, illegal aliens are frequently being flown from the California city into McAllen, Texas.
According to Desmond, illegal aliens cross the border into San Diego, surrender to Border Patrol, are taken to a processing center, and then are transported by bus to an airport where they are flown to McAllen.
Desmond told Texas Scorecard that due to California’s status as a sanctuary state, its illegal alien processing facilities are at maximum capacity and can no longer handle the influx.
“Because of that, Border Patrol agents are flying migrants to other places in the country—predominantly to Texas,” he said.
“The border is still being overwhelmed, yet this administration continues to allow thousands into this country, further straining our resources and security,” Desmond posted on X.
This comes as overall illegal encounters at the southwest border continue to decline.
A report from the Center for Immigration Studies posits that the Mexican government is transporting illegal aliens in Northern Mexico down to cities such as Tapacula, which sits on the border of Guatemala.
Mexico is also destroying illegal alien encampments that sit on the Mexican side of the U.S. border. One example is in Matamoros across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas.
“A source close to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s foreign operations division in Mexico told me one element of the Biden proposal is that AMLO [Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador] slow the flow only until after the November election,” wrote CIS’ Todd Bensman.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not respond to Texas Scorecard‘s inquiry as of publication.
