Description
Hands outstretched through the border wall in San Diego County show the amount of need on the other side in Mexico.
The number of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border is increasing by the hundreds, adding to the thousands already there, as the expiration of Title 42 nears.
The pandemic-era restriction ends at 8:59 p.m. Thursday on the West Coast.
Our CBS 8 crews reported Wednesday that some of the activity seen at the border includes, many volunteers from San Diego organizations bringing food, water and baby supplies to those at the border. Migrants are also asking media and volunteers to charge their phones. Makeshift tents are seen at the border. Some of the tents are garbage bags tied to the wall. CBS 8 has been told there is one porta potty toilet that is apparently unusable.
