The Tucson Sector was the busiest corridor until last month, a shift that hasn't been surprising to those who have witnessed the climbing number of arrivals in San Diego since this fall
San Diego County has become the busiest corridor for illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border as popular migration routes have continued to shift west from Arizona and Texas, according to the latest U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. Last month, U.S. Border Patrol encountered 37,370 migrants along the 60 miles of border that span the San Diego Sector, a 49 percent increase when compared with April 2023.
South of the border, Mexican authorities have installed a chain-link fence along a stretch of the Tijuana River canal, in addition to checkpoints in places with a high number of crossings. Mexico has also been increasingly busing migrants to cities farther south such as Tapachula. But migrants continue to come, particularly through remote areas of the border near Jacumba Hot Springs, where migrants slip through gaps in the fence or find ways over or through the barrier.
