>> THEY ARE NOT BEDS.

HE HAS CHANGE THE DEFINITION TO THAT WERE LIVING IN A PARKING LOT IS AN OPPORTUNITY.

>> OUR DATA SHOWS OVER 80% OF THE FOLKS ACCESSING SLEEPING SITES ARE ACCESSING THE HOMELESS SHELTER SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME.

>> Reporter: THEY ALSO ADDRESSED THE UNSAFE CAMPING ORDINANCE WHICH PROHIBITS TENT CAMPING IN UNSAFE AREAS.

>> WE DO NOT HAVE THE POLICE TO CONTACT THEM THAT MANY TIMES.

HE OPPOSED THE PAST DECISION SAYING IT CRIMINALIZES HOMELESSNESS BUT HE WANTS TO END THE PROGRESSIVE ENFORCEMENT MODEL SOMETHING HE SHOULD KNOW IS NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT IS THE SUBJECT OF A PIECE OF LEGAL SETTLEMENT.

>> Reporter: GLORIA POINTS TO THE DROP OF THE MONTHLY HOMELESS PEOPLE DOWNTOWN AS A SIGN FOR SUCCESS.

THE CANDIDATES ALSO DISCUSSED POTENTIALLY ALLOWING HOMEOWNERS TO SELL THEIR EXCESS EARLY -- ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.

>> I WILL USE AND ALL OF THE ABOVE APPROACH TO HELP HOUSING TO BE MORE ATTAINABLE.

>> Reporter: TURNER OPPOSES IT.

HE SAID THEY SHOULD WORK ON THE RAIN PRICES OF EXISTING HOUSING INSTEAD.

THE PROBLEM IS IT IS NOT AFFORDABLE.

IF YOU JUST CONTINUE TO BUILD MORE IN THE HOPES IT WILL LOWER THE PRICES THAT IS NOT HAPPENING.

THE HOTEL DEL CORONADO COULD WALK OFF ON THE 30th.

THE WORKERS ARE DEMANDING BETTER PAY AND MORE MANAGEABLE WORKLOADS.

>> THE WORKERS LOVE WORKING HERE.

IT'S A SPECIAL PLACE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE IN SAN DIEGO ON THE MONEY THEY ARE MAKING.

THE MAJORITY OF OUR MEMBERS MAKE AROUND $24 AN HOUR.

THEY HAVE RENT UP TO $3000 A MONTH.

THEY JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT.

>> MANAGEMENT CANNOT BE REACHED FOR COMMENT.

THE VOTE TODAY WAS JUST TO AUTHORIZE THE STRIKE.

IF IT IS APPROVED THEY COULD CALL THE STRIKE ON NOVEMBER 1.

IT IS MANAGED BY THE BAYFRONT HILTON WHERE EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN ON STRIKE FOR 34 DAYS.

>> WE ARE EXCITED TO BE BACK.

IT MEANS THEY CAN PROVIDE FOOD ON THE TABLE.

THEY CAN PAY THEIR BILLS.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT LOSING THEIR CAR OR HOMES.

DEMOCRATS CREDIT THE MEASURES FOR A BIG DROP IN ILLEGAL CROSSINGS.

GUSTAVO SOLIS SAYS LEGITIMATE ASYLUM-SEEKERS ARE BEING SENT BACK TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

>> Reporter: APPREHENSIONS ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER HAVE DROPPED DRAMATICALLY SINCE JUNE WHEN PRESIDENT BIDEN ANNOUNCED A SERIES OF EXECUTIVE ACTIONS THAT HAVE ALL BUT BLOCKED ASYLUM FOR PEOPLE THAT CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY.

LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND HER CAMPAIGN SURROGATES ARE POINTING TO LOWER NUMBERS AS PROOF OF THAT THE PHONE -- TOUGH ON BORDER SECURITY BONA FIDES.

>> IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS THINGS HAVE GOTTEN MUCH BETTER.

OF 48% REDUCTION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER.

>> Reporter: THE SECTION SUBJECT ADULTS WHO CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY TO A FAST-TRACK DEPORTATION PROCESS.

THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT SENDING THEM HOME WILL PUT THEIR LIVES AT RISK WILL HAVE TO PASS A HIGHER LEGAL STANDARD OF CREDIBLE FEAR.

THEY SAY IT IS MEANT TO WEED OUT FRAUDULENT CLAIMS.

CRITICS SAY THEY HAVE CREATED A CHAOTIC SYSTEM IN WHICH PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE HAD SOLID CLAIMS A FEW MONTHS AGO ARE BEING DEPORTED TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF FACTORS OF WHY WE ARE SEEING NUMBERS DOWN.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T NEED HELP.

IT'S BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP ARE BEING BLOCKED.

ONE OF HER CLIENTS HAD TO STRUGGLE WITH SHODDY CELL PHONE RECEPTION DURING HER INTERVIEW.

>> I WAS AT ANOTHER CALL WHERE THE PHONE OFFICER ASKED THE CLIENT TO PLEASE SPEAK UP, WE COULD NOT HEAR QUITE A FEW TIMES.

THEY FACED VIOLENT THREATS FROM GROUPS TRYING TO TAKE THE LAND.

>> [ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ] >> Reporter: THEY CROSSED THE BORDER ILLEGALLY LAST SUMMER AND TURNED THEMSELVES INTO BORDER PATROL AGENTS IN SAN DIEGO.

THEY WERE SEPARATED IN CUSTODY AND EVEN THOUGH THEY FLOODED ARE IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND SHE WAS ABLE TO PURSUE HER CLAIM WHILE HER HUSBAND WAS DEPORTED.

>> [ SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE ] >> Reporter: SHE SAID SHE HAS NOT BEEN SLEEPING OR EATING LATELY AND SHE IS CONSTANTLY CRYING.

LONG-STANDING U.S. LAW EXPLICITLY SAYS ANYBODY PRESENT IN THE COUNTRY CAN APPLY FOR ASYLUM IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW THEY ENTER THE U.S.

THE ACLU AND OTHER GROUPS HAVE SUED THE ADMINISTRATION CLAIMING THE NEW ROLES VIOLATE THE LAW.

IN THE WANING DAYS OF THE ELECTION VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS IS DOUBLING DOWN ON THE POLICIES.

>> IF SOMEBODY DOES NOT MAKE AN ASYLUM REQUEST OUT A LEGAL POINT OF ENTRY AND INSTEAD CROSSES THE BORDER UNLAWFULLY, THEY WILL BE BARRED FROM RECEIVING ASYLUM.

>> Reporter: SHE COULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN MORE TIME TO PROCESS HER TRAUMA, MEET WITH HER LAWYER AND MAYBE EVEN A THERAPIST BEFORE THE INTERVIEW.

>> USUALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CLIENTS WITH THIS KIND TRAUMA YOU WANT TO CREATE A SAFE SPACE THAT THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE SHARING THE INFORMATION.

>> Reporter: THE OFFICER FOUND THE STORY CREDIBLE BUT DENIED THE REQUEST TO PURSUE ASYLUM CLAIM BECAUSE THEY DID NOT BELIEVE SHE BELIEVED -- BELONG TO A PERSECUTED GROUP.

AS THINGS STAND NOW HER CLIENT WILL BE SENT BACK.

>>> CAL FIRE IS KEEPING AN EYE ON A FIRE BURNING IN MEXICO NEAR THE BORDER.

THAT AMOUNTED TO ABOUT $700,000 LAST YEAR.

>> WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE MONEY IS GOING AND WE BELIEVE IT IS A REASON FOR CONCERN.

>> Reporter: THEY PUBLISH THEIR FINDINGS BUT THE REPORT WAS WELL RECEIVED BY THE COMMUNITY.

THEY SAID THE RESPONSE BY THE ADMINISTRATION WAS OVERWHELMINGLY NEGATIVE.

>> TWO DAYS AFTER I RELEASED THE REPORT I WAS PULLED OUT OF CLASS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND SAID TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE.

HE TRIED TO INTIMIDATE ME INTO TAKING DOWN THE REPORT BECAUSE WE SLANDERED THE SCHOOL SUPPOSEDLY.

>> IN LIGHT OF THE DOCUMENT I SINCERELY HOPE THE DISTRICT WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO CONDUCT A PROPER TRANSPARENT INVESTIGATION INTO THE ALLEGATIONS.

>> Reporter: AFTER AN EMERGENCY BOARD MEETING THE DISTRICT ANNOUNCED IT WOULD CONDUCT AN AUDIT TO ENSURE ALL FOUNDATION PRACTICES ARE LEGALLY SOUND AND TRANSPARENT.

THE DISTRICT DECLINED TO COMMENT AND THE FOUNDATION DISPUTED THE FINDINGS BUT DID NOT OFFER SPECIFICS.

THE STUDENTS SAY THAT IT WAS VINDICATION BUT THEY HOPE THE AUDIT WILL BE TRANSPARENT.
