California border commuters kept waiting as migrants flood crossings: report
The number of migrants coming to the U.S. border has surged to record numbers since President Biden took office
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}U.S. workers who commute to Southern California from places in Mexico like Tijuana have reported excessively long wait times at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a report.
The delays are reportedly due, at least in part, to the increasing numbers of non-citizens attempting to pass through the ports of entry.
One commuter recently waited as long as seven hours to cross the border, he told Border Report.
