Paying the cartels to be smuggled into the U.S. is not okay, it leads to illegal labor where people are forced to pay off their smuggling debt, and it enriches the same criminal organizations responsible for trafficking in dangerous drugs into the U.S.

El Condado de San Diego enfrenta una ola de calor peligrosa. Cruzar ilegalmente puede costarte la vida. No se puede cargar suficiente agua. Los traficantes no cuidan tu seguridad y te abandonan si fallas. No arriesgues tu vida; la inmigración ilegal no vale ese precio.

San Diego County is currently experiencing a heatwave. Crossing illegally is life-threatening. You cannot carry enough water to survive the trek. Crossing illegally is life-threatening; smugglers abandon those who fall behind. Don’t risk your life. It's not worth the cost.

San Diego Sector Border Patrol agents recently arrested an illegal alien from Mexico on 6/15/26. This individual had entered the U.S. illegally through San Diego in December 2023. To those who think they "got away," you are wrong. We are working diligently to find and arrest you.
