Boats FULL of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are storming San Diego beaches

07/18/2024 / By Zoey Sky

Several boats used in alleged attempted smuggling incidents were spotted on beaches in San Diego County early this month. There was also an attempt during the hectic Fourth of July holiday weekend in Mission Bay.

According to federal officials, witnesses saw migrants running out of the suspected smuggling boat after it landed in Mission Bay around 11 a.m. on July 7.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) arrested eight people who were then taken to a facility for processing and removal.

But this was not the only incident this July. In a video taken on July 1 at 8 a.m. in Solana Beach, a Border Patrol agent can be seen investigating what seems to be another beached boat suspected of having been used in smuggling. Details are sparse and it is unclear how many people might have been on board and if any of them were apprehended.

According to the authorities, that was one of two incidents that occurred on July 1.

Crews with San Diego Fire-Rescue confirmed that another alleged smuggling incident occurred in San Diego’s jurisdiction, near Dog Beach in Ocean Beach. They added that no one was rescued or made contact with lifeguards.

Pedro Rios, director of the American Friends Service Committee, said several of the landings of maritime crossings are “planned.” He added that he isn’t sure if they took advantage of the Fourth of July Holiday to smuggle, but “there has been a general increase in maritime smuggling activity, all of it dangerous.” (Related: DANGER LURKING: Homeland Security warns 50 illegals brought into the U.S. by ISIS-connected smuggling ring are still unaccounted for.)

Rio expressed his concerns about these “dangerous” crossings becoming normalized. He also said the crossings have been “taking place for years” and that migrants, mostly Mexican migrants, cross into the United States.

Maritime human smuggling is dangerous, warns San Diego County supervisor

The incidents reported over the Fourth of July week reached a critical point about three months after a viral video showed migrants running from a boat on a Carlsbad beach into an SUV. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond explained that, at the time, the incident was an example of a significant surge in maritime human smuggling.

He added that these efforts have increased by at least 139 percent since 2020.

Rios emphasized that this kind of smuggling is dangerous because several people have drowned and even died while attempting to enter the country. In the past years, such as in 2021, federal law enforcement had announced that they are setting aside extra resources during the Fourth of July holiday to closely monitor “smuggling activities by land, air and sea.”

Rios said a similar effort was not mounted in 2024, and efforts have been lacking for the last few years.

In a statement, a spokesperson for CBP claimed that the agency is “leveraging all available resources and partnerships to combat transnational smuggling operations off the coast of California.”

According to the statement, the CBP is setting aside “personnel, transportation, processing, and humanitarian resources to the most active and arduous areas” along U.S. borders where migrants are often sent by for-profit smuggling organizations, usually without proper preparation.

The statement concluded that their efforts include “surging resources and personnel to impacted sectors to ensure the safe, swift, and orderly processing of individuals to maximize expedited removals.”
