Bold daylight landing at the US's hottest new migrant hub, San Diego county!
Boats filled with new Americans making audacious beach landings have become such a staple of everyday life in San Diego County it’s now on track to surpassing that wild ol’ border town Tuscon, Arizona, as the hottest migrant hub in the union.
“Tucson has been the number one sector for migrant arrivals since July 2023, but numbers have been dropping,” Adam Isacson from the Washington Office on Latin America said. “While one week’s data is not enough evidence to go by, it is possible that San Diego may be supplanting Tucson as the number-one sector.”
In what has become the new norm in a country that has swung open its golden door to the huddled masses, the wretched refuse, 7.2 million so far under the Biden’s humaniarium admin, the new Americans have been arriving in SD county, as well on beaches as far north as Malibu, in the thousands.
In the latest daylight landing, the Surfline cam captured a dozen migrants beaching their panga, those familiar flat-bottomed skiffs that originally designed by Yamaha for a World Bank project back in 1970 and named after the panga fish, on the pretty mocha sands of Carlsbad Beach.
You’ll recall six or so months back when Malibu was put into a state of euphoria after a boat filled with twenty-five New Americans disembarked on its privileged shores.
The New Americans scattered once they hit the golden sands of what used to be Chumash lands, and just under the $100-million clifftop compound of chanteuse Barbara Streisand.

Thanks VONR.
Had a reprieve from car for 3 weeks; staying in MIL’s place while she’s away.
Back to car in a couple days. It’ll be fine. The only issue I see is where to do my morning pathetic exercise routines to shed my lard. I’m not the sort of person who likes a performative approach in public /beach/ gym etc. I prefer the privacy of a living room to grunt-out some crunches, squats and high-knees.
Still doing the morning plunge. 18c today, hardly worth going in.
Haven’t quite moved onto a board, but it’s sitting there waiting, looking forlorn in the corner of the room.
TBH I’m conflicted about it;
I have the time, but cannot muster the mental freedom. The frivolity of it seems… alien, now. All that energy spent paddling and splashing towards a brief, similarly publicly performative glide (if lucky). I’d rather a less visually exposed wave, but it’s a (slightly) more serious comittment to get to those locally within the constraints of time / energy of a morning. I’d also feel like awful fumbling kook (thus a hidden wave mo betta), but know that I would merely be one of many out there, as I witness daily. Oh… my goodness. The kookery I have seen recently.
Anyway…
Yeah, I’ll get there.
cheers
Hey remember that time Juan Cabrillo landed in San Diego Bay in 1542? And his soldiers violated the indigenous women? Then the De Anza expedition, the missionaries and the Californios who exploited indigenous labor and infected them with disease? Then the white settlers from the east during the Gold Rush in 1849? How the southern boundary was set with what became Mexico? How the new settlers in the Gold Rush advocated and executed a genocide of the indigenous people for land and money? How the people of what became Mexico were exploited by their corrupt leaders in the century that followed? How people have always sought to improve their lives in a new place, now by sacrificing their savings to coyotes, knowing they leave their families behind and can’t return to their homeland legally as their relatives grow old and die? How none of us choose where we are born?
STFU
On San Diego shores, panga boats land,
Seeking refuge, from an unforgiving hand.
But Trump’s specter looms, a menacing shade,
Threatening walls, and a heartless aid.
La Jolla, Encinitas, Torrey Pines remain,
Echoes of Mexico, in California’s terrain.
Once Mexico’s soil, before war’s cruel might,
1848’s conquest, a border’s bloody right.
But south of the border, waves crash free,
Mexico’s coastline, a surfer’s ecstasy.
While California’s breaks, are crowded and worn,
Polluted and pricey, a life forlorn.
Who wouldn’t trade, their California strife,
For Mexico’s warmth, and endless surf life?
A simpler pace, with waves to adore,
A Mexican lifestyle, and buritos galore
This must be why Democrat strongholds declared themselves sanctuary States and cities. Because Democrats are lazy racists who demand brown people clean their Democrat homes, cut those Democrat lawns and do anything and everything else Democrats feel is beneath them
Illegal immigration works great for business owners, especially ag
ah I think if you replace democrats with Americans…..actually any rich western country has their own form of capitlaism…..when things/economies are doing great , no-one wants to do the menial jobs so import some slaves…….or hire illegal slaves?
Can they at least drag the boat in and rest it on the beach instead of letting the boat drift out to nowhere. Why would the first act in your new country be to trash it?
I do sometimes wonder what mud you have to wade through in order to find these… em…. morsels.
What’s the deal with salvage rights on these things? Can I just hop in one and take off? Some of these have dual outboards and likely some resale value just for the motors.
I would highly recommend jumping in one and driving off if freedom isn’t your thing.
Americans: Oh Mexico is fucked and ruined by cartels and they want to come here pfffft.
Also Americans: Another line of blow?
Xox
manifest destiny is a one way street!!
Panga Drops
They heard Joel Tudor was looking for some landscapers.
That surf looks like the kinda small waves the wsl would crown a world champion in!
They ran the girls in those same conditions yesterday just a few miles up.
Speaking of landing flat-bottomed:
