SAN DIEGO COUNTY, Calif. Surging border crossings are putting a strain on communities in Southern California, where hordes of migrants are often spotted at transit hubs after immigration officials resumed street releases, local politicians say.

"Theres no end in sight," San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond told Fox News. "This is a new norm, which I think we're going to get a rude wake-up call someday."

SHOULD BIDEN PAY THE MEXICAN PRESIDENT'S $20 BILLION DEMAND OR GET TOUGHER ON IMMIGRATION? AMERICANS WEIGH IN

Migrants' first days in Southern California often follow a similar schedule.

After going over, around or through gaps in the border fence, they surrender to Border Patrol agents. Maybe its immediate, maybe they have to wait on the side of the road for a few hours to be caught, or maybe they make a dangerous trek through mountains that Customs and Border Protection warns range from snow-covered in the winter to perilously hot and dry in the summer.

They get searched, processed at a CBP facility tucked amid truck repair shops and car auction businesses, and released. The majority but not all get dropped off at local transit stations, Desmond said, gone from San Diego County before many residents have even registered their arrival.

"A lot of them are going to the East Coast," Desmond said of the folks he has spoken to at the border. "So a lot of them leave. But there's a lot we don't know."

Located about 15 minutes from downtown San Diego, El Cajon has become one of a handful of drop-off sites for migrants. Mayor Bill Wells said the border has "always been a problem," but the federal government always made an effort to prevent "bad actors" like cartels and gang members from entering the country.

"Now the gates are wide open," Wells told Fox News. "We're no longer even trying."

The San Diego sector saw an 85% increase in encounters in February compared to the same month last year, according to CBP data. Agents there made more than 230,000 encounters during fiscal year 2023, a record 2024 is on track to shatter.

AMID BORDER PATROL RECRUITMENT CRISIS, ONE STEP OF THE HIRING PROCESS IS WIPING OUT TONS OF APPLICANTS

While the Biden administration promises "our borders are not open," those on the front lines describe a contradictory scene. Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed with "give ups," people who walk across the border and claim asylum so they can be detained, processed and then released into the United States.

"I dont blame the Border Patrol agents," Desmond said. "Their hands are tied."

Both Wells and Desmond have documented crowds at local transit stations. Desmond said CBP releases between 600 and 900 people on a given day, usually at locations that lack bathrooms and other amenities. Sometimes nonprofits or "entrepreneurial" taxi drivers are there waiting, he said.

Now the gates are wide open. We're no longer even trying.

"Unfortunately, San Diego Airport now has become the de facto migrant shelter, where they sleep there," he added, estimating that around 90% of migrants continue to other cities around the country like Chicago or New York. "Hopefully a lot of them leave. But we have no, really, idea of if they do or not."

Until late February,migrants would likely have been taken to a vacant elementary school-turned processing center in San Diego. But the $6 million in county funding that was supposed to sustain the center from October through March ran out early, after processing 81,000 migrants, according to local news reports.

The Board of Supervisors approved a plan to seek federal dollars and charitable donations to fund a replacement center to stem the tide of street releases. Desmond cast the sole "no" vote, arguing a long-term shelter would just be complicit in the federal governments mess.

They said hundreds of migrants are dropped off daily in their region and, while many continue on to other cities or states, those who stay put a strain on local resources.

"What were allowing is a very undignified and inhumane process where people have to come over a 30-foot fence [or] through a river," he said. "We should enforce our laws and have a legal, dignified immigration process."

Americans increasingly rank immigration as the most important problem facing the United States. In California, nearly two-thirds of likely voters surveyed earlier this year by the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, said the border is not secure enough.

Californians Fox News spoke with largely said border security was an important voting priority for them and that they support immigration so long as its done legally.

"If you have a fence around your house, if you lock your door at night, then we don't need to explain to you the value of having a border fence. It's not rocket science," Mark Good said.

Goods son-in-law spent five years waiting to immigrate to the U.S. from Bangladesh "the right way," he said.

"Then you see people coming over the border and getting given things," his wife Pat said. "Its hard. I feel bad for them, but its hard."

Wells, who is running for Congress, and other local leaders initially worried there would be a surge of migrants on the street after the welcome center closed. That hasnt happened yet, he said, speculating that private organizations and nonprofits have been able to get migrants on planes and buses fast enough to keep up with the influx.

"Pretty soon the system is going to be overwhelmed to the point where there's not going to be enough money to send people everywhere they want to go," Wells worried.

With homeless shelters already full, he said migrants could end up on the streets.

"Everything is already full because of the migrants and the homeless people that have flocked to California in the past couple of years," Wells said. "So there's very little in the way of safety net in California."

USWNT midfielder Korbin Albert apologized last week after reposts and other social media activity resurfaced online, including one post on TikTok that included a sermon given in a Christian worship space talking about how being gay and feeling transgender is wrong.

This incident has prompted questions around the U.S. Soccer Federations social media policies.

Albert is currently in camp with the USWNT ahead of this weeks SheBelieve Cup, with the team facing off against Japan on Saturday. The federation itself has not formally addressed Alberts social media activity, nor has interim head coach Twila Kilgore. Largely, reaction crystallized around a post from former USWNT player Megan Rapinoe until Wednesday, when team captain Lindsey Horan and Alex Morgan issued a statement during a virtual media availability.

We just want to address the disappointing situation regarding Korbin that has unfolded over this past week. Weve worked extremely hard to uphold the integrity of this national team through all of the generations, and we are extremely, extremely sad that this standard was not upheld, Horan said. Our fans and our supporters feel like this is a team that they can rally behind, and its so important that they feel and continue to feel undeniably heard and seen.

We stand by maintaining a safe and respectful space, especially as allies and members of the LGBTQ+ community, Morgan continued in the statement. This platform has given us an opportunity to highlight causes that matter to us, something that we never take for granted.

GO DEEPER

Morgan, Horan on Albert situation: 'disappointing'

While Albert has provided a current example of how social media may cause unintended consequences in the workplace, its not the first time its happened in womens soccer. At the club level, Sydny Nasello was drafted by Portland Thorns FC ahead of the 2022 NWSL season, but the team did not sign her after her social media activity surfaced, including posts and shared content. While Nasello apologized at the time, she later said on a Tampa Bay radio show that her personal politics had prevented her from playing in the league.

Its a dream that was stripped from me just because I have different political beliefs, Nasello said. And the NWSL is so one-sided in that aspect that I think its sad and its disheartening to see. Because you can be an advocate for politics, but only if youre on one side.

For U.S. Soccer, a national governing body (that is not a governmental entity) and a non-profit, the approach to how to handle a player who has shared what it deems to be personal religious or political beliefs seems like it could differ from that of a single NWSL team that is part of a privately owned, for-profit league.

What are U.S. Soccers policies that are already in place that could address this or a similar situation? Does U.S. Soccer have the power to stop calling up a national team player due to their social media activity? Wheres the line on what would trigger discipline? Would the organization use such a power?

This examination of existing guidance from the federation focuses more on content that could be defined as a personal belief.

The first policy to consider is the collective bargaining agreement between the federation and the U.S. womens national team players association. There is a fairly standard article that bans discrimination for both parties on a number of factors, including religion, race, sex, gender, gender identity, age, and more, in Article 6.

Its Article 8 that could conceivably give U.S. Soccer some far-ranging space to make such a call, which reads: All Federation decisions concerning the selection and participation of Players with or on the WNT shall be made solely to promote and/or enhance the best interests of the WNT and the WNT Program. The federation could make a case that if a player is posting or sharing content online that it views as harmful or offensive, that is not in the best interests of the team or program.

U.S. Soccer has its own policies as well, publicly available on its website, including a code of conduct and a prohibited conduct policy. A U.S. Soccer spokesperson confirmed the federation has a social media document, but said it reflected guidance more than a policy.

The code of conduct includes a section titled Guiding Your Behavior, which asks four questions: Is it consistent with the Code? Is it ethical? Is it Legal? Will it reflect well on me and U.S. Soccer? If the answer to any of those questions is no, the guide concludes DONT DO IT.

While there are no specific rules in the code of conduct on social media use, the document stresses that people treat each other with respect and dignity in a section on how to work as a team. This means we raise our criticism constructively, acknowledge that professional disagreement may nonetheless exist, and understand that all team members are entitled to work in an environment that is free of harassment, bullying or unlawful discrimination.

This is a notable section given that Albert also engaged with social media posts that both wished for, then celebrated, Megan Rapinoes injury to close out her career, which could also impact Alberts standing in the locker room amongst her teammates.

Consequences for any violations of this code are not specified, though the federation says it takes all reports seriously and reserves the right to take all available disciplinary and/or remedial measures for violation of this code.

Under the prohibited conduct policy, harassment is defined as unwelcome conduct, whether verbal, physical or visual, that is based upon a persons protected status. U.S. Soccer will not tolerate harassing conduct that affects tangible job benefits, that unreasonably interferes with an individuals work performance, or safety, or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

In Alberts case, the current roster for the SheBelieves Cup largely stayed out of the ensuing discussion on social media. Center back Abby Dahlkemper shared Megan Rapinoes post on her own Instagram, but it was mostly either retired players or players not heading to Aprils camp, such as Alana Cook and Lynn Williams, who publicly engaged.

On Tuesday, Williams and Sam Mewis both teammates to Jaelene Daniels in North Carolina discussed Alberts social media activity and apology. Daniels history with the USWNT has some similarities to Alberts, with Daniels having posted a reaction to the Supreme Courts ruling for marriage equality on her social media, but her status with the U.S. national team was also more complicated by the fact that she turned down a call-up because she refused to wear rainbow numbers during Pride matches. That social activity occurred in 2015, and she was subsequently called up to the national team under then head coach Jill Ellis.

Back then, we didnt know how to approach the situation and we put soccer first, Williams said on the episode of Good Vibes FC. I feel like, if Ive learned anything, its that there are just some things bigger than soccer, and one of them is human rights.

On Wednesday, Morgan said that the USWNT had an internal conversation about the current situation, but that the conversation would remain internal. One thing to also know is that we have never shied away from hard conversations within this team, she said.

While theres certainly precedent in the United States to terminate employees over social media posts, right now the federation does not appear to have the policies in place to support such a decision. Albert likely wont be the last player to have personal viewpoints clash with the culture associated with the USWNT.

Can U.S. Soccer punish Korbin Albert for social media activity? The policies and guidance in play - The Athletic

More and more people are relying on social media for health advice. Consequently, the people creating health-promoting content hold a growing responsibility for the information shared. This responsibility extends beyond their audience, as it pertains to their entire profession.

Scepticism is likely on the rise due to all the self-proclaimed experts present on various social media platforms. With every action that online health professionals take they must therefore safeguard the integrity of their field.

Professionals of preventive health who are creating content on social media may consciously or unconsciously be shaped by the content they share. We may ask: how much is social media linked to their professional identity and in what way?

And even further, is there a two-way relationship wherein these individuals may simultaneously use social media to build a professional image?

The role professionals of preventive health fields play in society is ever expanding as their voices are being magnified with social media. Should we be exploring how to leverage the role of social media in educating and forming future health professionals?

Identity may be defined as an individuals organised constellation of traits, attitudes, self-representations, and social roles. With the advent of social media, and all it offers in terms of a person's ability to share different aspects of themselves, there has been a revitalisation of research around identity.

In the context of professional identity, where an individual showcases their self-concept, and sense of belonging within a specific professional community, social media has greatly aided in this aspect of self-representation.

The fields of preventive medicine and public health share several objectives, including promoting general health, and preventing disease. When looking at the link between preventive health fields and social media, promotion is an important aspect.

One example of health promotion is the recent debate in Norway surrounding nutritionists who have been leveraging their platforms to promote healthy baby food. However, the products and recipes they promote might not provide babies with all the iron and other nutrients they need.

This raises several questions. When a professional nutritionist posts on social media, thereby becoming a content creator, does he or she post solely for the benefit of the audience, or is it about establishing themselves as professional nutritionists?

The same questions would go to professionals within other preventive health fields. Look at mental health professionals, for instance. According to Triplett, there is a growing number of mental health professionals who use social media to share informative content with a broader public.

Information that would traditionally be communicated in a therapeutic setting is thus distributed through social networking platforms. Is this about painting a picture of themselves as professionals in the field?

Trainers and physical education instructors are no strangers to this social media takeover, either. In a study by Raggatt and others, half of the participants (a total of 180) indicated that they themselves are interested in learning about health and fitness through online communities.

In other words, social networking platforms have helped in shaping them as professional trainers.

On the one hand, professional identity construction is considered to always be under development. On the other hand, social media has a growing importance in the construction of professional identities as it offers places where individuals showcase their private lives as well as their professional experiences.

Thus, if social media is becoming more important in constructing identities, could we foresee how professions would be changing in the next years? And how can we prepare for that change?
