Border patrol has dropped off more than 50,000 migrants in San Diego County over the past few months. Local leaders and organizations say they need the federal government to do more.
"This is a problem caused by the federal government," said El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells.
He says the influx is weighing on resources that are already strained.
"California is even different than Arizona or Texas because they don't have the homeless problems that we have," he said. "That's already stretched all of our police resources, hospital resources and hotel to the very limits."
A lot of the pressure is falling on local organizations. American Friends Service Committee Director Pedro Rios also says the federal government needs to step in.
