>>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THIS LOOK AT THE PAST ORIGINAL REPORTING FROM KBS NEWS.

WE CHECK ON THE SITUATION FOR PEOPLE HOPING TO SEEK ASYLUM IN THE GEAR WEST.

A LOT OF HURDLES INCLUDING TECHNOLOGY REMAIN.

>>> A MISSION BEYOND BASEBALL FOR THE PADRES OWNER.

HE TALKS ABOUT HIS WORK TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE HOMELESS IN SAN DIEGO.

>>> THOUSANDS OF WORLD WAR II ARTIFACTS ARE LOOKING FOR A HOME .

>>> WE START WITH A LOOK ON THE STRIKE BY THOSE WHO DRIVE INTO YES BUSES.

OUR METRO REPORTER EXPLORES SOME OF THE QUESTIONS RAISED ABOUT WHY SOME OF OUR PUBLIC TRANSIT IS DONE BY A PRIVATE COMPANY.

BUS DRIVERS ARE CONTINUING TO WALK THE PICKET LINE.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR BETTER PAY AND THEY WANT BETTER ACCESS TO CLEAN AND SAFE BATHROOM STIRRING THEIR SHIFTS.

ERIKA LOPEZ HAS BEEN A BUS DRIVER FOR 14 YEARS AND SAYS THE BATHROOM SITUATION IS OFTEN UNSANITARY .

>> LET'S SAY AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING WE GO TO THE PORTA POTTY AND THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES PEOPLE FROM THE STREET TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR .

>> Reporter: THEY MAY HAVE THE INTO YES WILL GO ON THEM BUT SHE AND HER LOGOS DON'T WORK FOR INTO YES.

THEY WORKED FOR A PRIVATE MULTINATIONAL COMPANY THAT NTS CONTRACTS WITH TO OPERATE MORE THAN HALF OF ITS ROUTES.

THIS ARRANGEMENTS SAVES TAXPAYERS MONEY.

IT HAS THE BENEFIT OF LOWER COSTS FOR INSURANCE, LABOR, AND EQUIPMENT.

CIRCULATE SAN DIEGO SAYS THE TREND TOWARD PRIVATIZING PUBLIC TRANSIT TOOK OFF IN THE LAST FEW DECADES.

THERE WASN'T MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT NTS WAS GIVING UP, A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH WORKERS AND RIDERS.

>> WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR WORKERS SO WE GET THE BUSES RUNNING AGAIN AND WE CAN GET TO WORK ON TIME.

NTS CAN POINT TO THIS THIRD- PARTY AND SAY IT IS NOT OUR FAULT, IT IS THIS OTHER COMPANY.

THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE WORKERS OR THE RIDERS EITHER.

>> Reporter: HE TAKES THE BUST OF HIS JOB IN KENSINGTON AND SCHOOL DOWNTOWN.

MOST OF THE BUS ROUTES ARE IN THE SOUTH A.

THERE ARE ROUTES IN CENTRAL SAN DIEGO ALSO NOT RUNNING.

BOSSES INTO YES IT'S IN A TERRIBLE JOB COMMUNICATING THAT INFO TO RIDERS .

>> I STILL SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAITING THERE.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE NEXT BUS IS COMING.

I JUST WANT TO GO OUT TO THE BUS STOP AND TELL THEM THE BUSES AND COMING FOR ANOTHER HOUR.

>> Reporter: HE DOESN'T HAVE STRONG OPINIONS BUT AT THE MOMENT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE WORKING .

>> IF NTS HAS A GOOD REASON TO CONTRACT OUT THE SERVICES TO A PRIVATE COMPANY, I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT IF THEY CAN MAKE THE CASE.

IT SEEMS LIKE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WILLING TO MAKE THAT CASE AT ALL.

IT LOWERS THE COST BUT OUR RIDERS ARE NOT SEEING THAT LOWER COSTS.

>> Reporter: THE BOARD CHAIRMAN ST. KPBS A STATEMENT SAYING I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FAILURE TO PROVIDE TRANSIT SERVICE TO MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS.

IF THE KPBS AND KQVO SERVICES NOT RESTORED THIS WEEK, I WILL CALL AN EMERGENCY MEETING TO EXPLORE OUR OPTIONS.

MANY TOLD A REPORTER THAT THEY DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN TIJUANA AND ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP.

>> Reporter: SANGHA CEDRO IS THE BUSIEST BORDER CROSSING IN THE COUNTRY.

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WALKED TO THE PEDESTRIAN LANES EVERY DAY.

THEY LINEUP AND SHOW THEIR PASSPORTS OR VISAS AND ENTER THE COUNTRY.

WITHIN 200 PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO THE LONG LINES OF TRAVELERS WAITING TO CROSS.

THESE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE PASSPORTS OR VISAS.

A MONTH AGO THEY WOULD'VE BEEN TURNED AWAY BECAUSE OF TITLE 42.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATOR ENDED TITLE 42 IN MAY.

THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO USE AN APP BUT THE PEOPLE SLEEPING OUTSIDE SAY THAT APP IS NOT WORKING FOR THEM.

ONE MIGRANT SAID HE HAS TRIED TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THREE MONTHS.

HE DIDN'T GIVE US HIS NAME BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID TO LIVE IN TIJUANA WHERE OTHERS HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED AND KILLED.

HE HAS SLEPT ON THE CONCRETE SIDEWALKS FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS.

HE SAYS IT HAS BEEN TOUGH.

THAT SUFFERING IS PART OF THE MIGRANT EXPERIENCE.

HE SAYS THAT YOU HAVE TO SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU WANT.

IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ARE APPALLED BY THE CONDITIONS .

>> WE HAVE MOMS AND BABIES SLEEPING ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR AND KID SCREAMING AND CRYING BECAUSE IT WAS FREEZING.

>> Reporter: SHE IS THE COFOUNDER OF THE IMMIGRANT DEFENDERS LAW CENTER.

SHE VISITED THE MIGRANTS LAST WEEK.

THURSDAY MORNING, THEIR CAMP HAD BALLOONED TO MORE THAN 200.

SHE CRITICIZED NEW BIDEN ADMINISTRATION POLICIES THAT RESTRICT ACCESS TO ASYLUM UNLESS THEY SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS TO THE APP THEY ARE PRESUMED ILL ELIGIBLE.

EVEN WITH THOSE RESTRICTIONS SHE SAYS THAT MIGRANTS HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO REQUEST HUMANITARIAN PROTECTIONS AT THE BORDER .

>> PEOPLE COMING TO A PORT OF ENTRY HAVE A RIGHT TO SEEK ASYLUM.

IT COMES INTO PLAY POTENTIALLY GEARS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THAT PERSON NEEDS TO REBUT THE PRESUMPTION THEY ARE AND ELIGIBLE FOR ASYLUM >> THAT REBUTTAL SHOULD HAPPEN IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE AND NOT AT THE PORT OF ENTRY WITH A BORDER OFFICIAL.

>> Reporter: KB PS NEWS.
