SAN DIEGO (KGTV) The southern border has seen a surge in migrants seeking asylum already this year and humanitarian groups say shelters in Tijuana are beyond capacity as many families wait to try and enter the United States.
For dozens of these undocumented migrants, desperation led to the worst-case scenario on Sunday morning. Authorities said a boat carrying more than 30 people capsized off the coast of Point Loma, killing three. Officials believed this was a botched human smuggling operation.
