Fox News border correspondent Bill Melugin captured footage on Friday of a bus filled with illegal migrants, all adult males, being unloaded into the streets of San Diego.
“BREAKING: Another Border Patrol bus full of illegal immigrants, this one all adult men, just pulled up and mass released them onto San Diego streets. Again, men from all over the world going to blue cities. One man from Mauritania told me he is gay and is here to request asylum,” Melugin shared on X.

Melugin and his team reached out to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office and received the following response:
“When it comes to border security, Republicans in Congress have done nothing but create chaos and sabotage any attempts at progress.”
“In the absence of any political courage from the Republican Party, California has once again stepped up — making historic investments and serving as a model of partnership for a safe and humane border. It’s past time for the spineless politicians in Congress to do their job.”

During an event at the White House on Friday, President Biden admitted that the immigration system is broken.
“Congress has had a long, proud history — a bipartisan history — on immigration reform and abiding by our international treaty obligations, which we signed related to immigration. These reforms made America a nation of laws, a nation of immigrants and the strongest economy in the world,” Biden said to members of the National Governors Association at the White House. “But something changed. Over time, our laws and our resources haven’t kept up with our immigration system, and it’s broken. And our politics has failed to fix it.”
