A San Diego official has declared the Southern California city by the sea the new “epicenter” of the Biden border crisis as thousands of illegal migrants cross by land and by boat weekly and are released into the United States.

Jim Desmond, a Republican on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, said illegal crossings have not only surged on land but off the Pacific coast as boats speed by federal military and police to drop off immigrants along the U.S. shoreline.
