I've seen it on TV, like all of you at home,
but I was shocked when I got here today.
We've seen desperation, we've seen crying,
but we have not seen authorities come
and pick anyone up and take them away.
And that is what the people I
spoke with here today told me.
They expected when they got to the border,
they thought authorities would k
them up and start the process of them
coming into our country instead.
Well. Let's go to the video S Yu
can see what we've seen today
in the dirt with their children starving.
No shelter, just begging for food and water.
I mean, I hope the president can
see this because this is inhuma.
That's Denise McEwen describing
what she saw when she brought
food and water down to the bordr
wall after hearing about all the
people stranded here this week.
I'm seeing people.
In their eyes, just banging
for human rights, Food, water,
it rained here last night.
All people have her trash
bags and pieces of plastic or
clothes tied up to cover them.
This family from AS Bear
Jean has a three-year old son
and a three month old baby,
their clothes soaked through
totally wet. How
long are you going to be in her?
They said they also don't know.
We also don't know. I
saw Camilla as I walked along the wall.
She was looking out through the slits,
big tears rolling down her chee.
She traveled here from Brazil.
She turned 20 years old just last month.
She says she's anxious,
desperate and afraid.
Beside her is another woman she
met at the border from Brazil.
Vanessa says she traveled
11 days to get here.
She's been at the wall for nearly a week.
She says she thought when she got here
she would cross a river or a wa,
and then authorities would
take her into custody and
she could declare asylum. How
people, what the conditions are like here.
I must start some with the jeffies, too,
she says. The situation is sad,
difficult, delicate.
They've been given water and plastic wraps,
they've been given little food
and they're hungry and they dont
know what's going to happen nex.
I asked everyone,
why did you come this far?
Why did you come here?
And they all answered the same,
just like Camilla.
She says she wants to enter the
United States for a better life.
And that's why they're all waiting here in
the hot sun or like last night in the rain,
the conditions constantly changg
out here in this afternoon,
we hear more babies crying,
you know, as they're hungry.
And ask this one woman,
is there anything I can do for your baby?
And listening to it cry for so ,
she said no, she she's just
terribly unhappy to be out here.
So you do want to help when you
see this kind of thing happen.
And so there is a way you can h.
There's a group in San Diego called the
American Friends Service Commun.
They've got an Amazon wish list page set up.
We put a link to that on
our website at cvs8.com.
Just click on the help button
and you can also donate supplies
and then their volunteers are
bringing it here to the board.
And handing it through.
And their hands just reach through and
grab it and take it back to their families.
We're live out here at the border for you.
This is Anna Laurel for CBSA.
Anna, such raw stories.
A lot of people,
again as you were mentioning,
assume that they would be taken
care of once they reached here.
And now they're literally begging for
any help through that border fe.
What are people hoping for when
tomorrow at 8:00 PM comes?
Do they know about Title 42?
What are their expectations?
You know what,
When I would ask people today,
are you here for because of Title 42,
they weren't really sure about .
Maybe that verbiage one dad,
the dad in our story, he said y.
What he's heard is that after May 11th,
it's going to be harder.
To seek asylum and get into the country.
So we've talked to some people
here on the ground who've been
talking with people behind the .
There are so many from so many countries,
so many languages here.
But what we've what we're understanding
is that they're told whenever U.
policy changes,
whenever there's any kind of a k
and it goes out over the news,
over social media that smugglers then
tell these people cross the bor,
Now's the time to get here befoe
something changes and it becomes harder.
That's why they're
here. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
Thanks for staying on top of the story.
