THANK YOU.

>>> THE HOUSE DID IT'S JOB AND NOW THE DEBT LIMIT BILL LISS IN THE SENATE'S HANDS.

IT PASSED WITH OVERWHELMING SUPPORT, BUT NOT EVERYBODY WAS ON BOARD.

SKD EL DORADO TELLS US A REPRESENTATIVE FROM SAN DIEGO VOTES AMONG THE NO VOTES.

>> Reporter: THE DEBT CEILING BILL IS ON ITS WAY TO THE SENATE.

>> I AM GLAD.

I SUPPORTED IT BECAUSE THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN WOULD BE A CATASTROPHIC DEFAULT ON OUR DEBT AND A THREAT TO ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP.

>> Reporter: ALSO REPRESENTATIVE MIKE LEVIN.

>> IT'S NOT THE BILL I WOULD HAVE WANTED BUT IT DID THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WHICH IS PREVENT A DEFAULT ON THE FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> Reporter: ECONOMISTS AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE AGREE.

IF THE BILL DOES NOT GO THROUGH THE SENATE AND GET SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT -- >> YOU ARE LOOKING AT BETWEEN 25 AND 40% HIT TO THE STOCK MARKET WITHIN A MATTER OF WEEKS .

I LOOK AT THINGS LIKE 7.1 MILLION VETERANS WON'T GET THEIR DISABILITY CHECKS AND THE MANY MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO ARE ON SOCIAL SECURITY WOULD NOT GET SOCIAL SECURITY.

>> IT WOULD MEAN A WEAKENING OF THE DOLLAR AND ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT BEING EXPENSIVE TODAY WOULD BE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TOMORROW.

OUR ABILITY TO DEAL WITH EMERGENCIES WOULD BE REALLY COMPROMISED.

>> Reporter: EVERY MEMBER REPRESENTING DISTRICTS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY INCLUDING REPUBLICAN DARRELL ISSA VOTED YES EXCEPT ONE, REPRESENTATIVE JUAN VARGAS.

HE SPOKE WITH OUR MEDIA PARTNER ON WEDNESDAY.

>> THEY WENT AFTER POOR PEOPLE FOR FOOD.

THEY ARE TAKING FOOD OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF POOR PEOPLE.

IT'S RIDICULOUS.

I UNDERSTAND HOW DEVASTATING IT WOULD BE AND AGAIN THE SITUATION WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME.

>> Reporter: PETERS 11 SAY THERE WERE ITEMS IN THE BILL THEY ORDINARILY WOULD HAVE VOTED AGAINST LIKE RAISING THE WORK REQUIREMENT AGE TO QUALIFY FOR CASH AND FOOD ASSISTANCE.

>> IT WILL ADD UNNECESSARY ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN AND HARM PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED THE HELP.

INCREASING THE AGE FROM 50 TO 54 FOR CERTAIN WORK REQUIREMENTS.

>> Reporter: THEY COMPROMISED AND GOT SOME THINGS IS WELL.

BOTH SAY SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE SO THE COUNTRY'S FINANCIAL FUTURE IS NOT HELD HOSTAGE EVERY TWO YEARS.

>> IT IS REALLY A STUPID WAY TO HAVE TO HAVE THIS FIGHT EVERY TWO YEARS.

>> YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

MANAGE THE DEFICIT.

MANAGE THE DEBT TRY TO WORK TOGETHER FOR HOWEVER WE CAN AND STAND UP FOR OUR VALUES BUT WE CAN'T USE THE DEBT LIMIT AS A MECHANISM.

IT IS SIMPLY TOO DANGEROUS.

>>> IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN A MONTH SINCE PANDEMIC YOUR RESTRICTIONS ON ASYLUM-SEEKERS WERE LIFTED DOZENS OF MIGRANTS ARE SLEEPING ON THE MAX AND MEXICAN SIDE OF THE BORDER CROSSING.

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

>> Reporter: IT IS THE BUSIEST BORDER CROSSING IN THE COUNTRY.

>> HAVE YOUR DOCUMENTS READY TO SHOW.

>> Reporter: TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WALKED THROUGH THE LANES EVERY DAY.

THEY LINE UP, SHOW THEIR PASSPORT OR VISA, AND ENTER THE COUNTRY.

RIGHT NOW MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO THE LONG LINES OF TRAVELERS WAITING TO CROSS.

THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE PASSPORTS OR VISAS.

A MONTH AGO THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY BY THE PANDEMIC ERROR RESTRICTION KNOWN AS TITLE 42.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ENDED TITLE 42 IN MAY.

OFFICIALS ARE ENCOURAGING MIGRANTS TO USE A MOBILE APP TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS TO ENTER THE COUNTRY.

THE PEOPLE SLEEPING OUTSIDE SAY IT IS NOT WORKING FOR THEM.

ONE MIGRANTS SAID HE HAS TRIED TO SECURE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS.

HE DID NOT GIVE US HIS NAME BECAUSE HE'S AFRAID TO BE IN TIJUANA WHERE OTHER MIGRANTS HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED, ASSAULTED, AND KILLED.

HE HAS SLIPPED ON SIDEWALKS FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS OUTSIDE THE PORT OF ENTRY.

HE SAID IT HAS BEEN TOUGH BUT THE SUFFERING IS PART OF THE MIGRANT EXPERIENCE.

>> [ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] >> Reporter: HE SAID YOU HAVE TO SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU WANT.

IMMIGRATION LAWYERS ARE APPALLED BY THE CONDITIONS.

>> MOMS AND BABIES SLEEPING ON CONCRETE FLOOR.

KIDS SCREAMING AND CRYING BECAUSE IT WAS FREEZING.

>> Reporter: LIZZIE IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND COFOUNDER OF THE IMMIGRANT LA CENTER.

SHE VISITED LAST WEEK WHEN ONLY A FEW DOZEN HAVE GATHERED.

THURSDAY MORNING THE CAMP HAD BALLOONED TO MORE THAN 200.

SHE CRITICIZED NEW POLICIES THAT RESTRICT ACCESS TO ASYLUM UNLESS THEY SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS THROUGH THE APP THEY ARE PRESUMED INELIGIBLE FOR ASYLUM.

EVEN WITH THOSE ASYLUM RESTRICTIONS, SHE SAID THAT THEY STILL HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT TO REQUEST HUMANITARIAN PROTECTIONS AT THE BORDER.

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

THE ASYLUM BAN COMES INTO PLAY POTENTIALLY YEARS DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THAT PERSON NEEDS TO REBUT THE PRESUMPTION THAT THEY ARE INELIGIBLE FOR ASYLUM.

>> Reporter: SHE SAID THE REBUTTAL SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE NOT AT THE PORT OF ENTRY.

>> DOCUMENTS.

HAVE YOUR DOCUMENTS OUT READY TO SHOW.

>> WE ARE DEFINITELY UNDER ATTACK RIGHT NOW.

EVENTS LIKE THIS THAT AFFIRM OUR PROLONGING AND HUMANITY ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

WE CANNOT STOP THERE.

WE HAVE TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE VIOLENCE BOTH LEGISLATIVE AND PHYSICAL.

>> Reporter: IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE FLAK HAS EVER FLOWN OVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUSES IN SAN DIEGO, IT CAN BE TRACED INDIRECTLY TO THE COVID SHUTDOWN IN 2020.

WITH PLENTY OF TIME ON THEIR HANDS DISTRICT MEMBERS IDENTIFIED NEW PRIORITIES AND THIS WAS ONE OF THEM.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS BEEN DOING FOR YEARS ON CAMPUSES ACROSS THE COUNTY.

THIS MORNING THE FLAG WAS RAISED BY YOUNGER ADVOCATES AND MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY LIKE THIS EIGHT-YEAR- OLD STUDENT AT SPRINKLES ELEMENTARY.

>> I HOPE MORE PEOPLE WILL START TO UNDERSTAND WHAT BEING TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY IS LIKE.

I JUST A NORMAL KID THAT LIKES SNUGGLING AND READING.

>> Reporter: PAGE DIXON IS CELEBRATING PRIDE MONTH AND EDUCATING CLASSMATES AT LONGFELLOW SCHOOL.

EVEN THOUGH SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL LEARNING.

>> THE CARLSBAD SCHOOL BOARD VOTED 3-2 TO DELAY ABOUT ON ALLOWING THE PRIDE FLAG UNTIL LATER THIS SUMMER.

>>> POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE HATE CRIME IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD.

IN LGBTQ FLAG WAS BURNED OUTSIDE OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS AN INSTAGRAM PAGE WAS CREATED BY SOME PARENTS ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO KEEP THEIR KIDS AT HOME IN PROTEST OF THE PRIDE DAY ASSEMBLY TOMORROW.

A LARGER PRIDE FLAG IS NOW ON DISPLAY THERE.

>>> AS SCHOOLS LET OUT FOR THE SUMMER, ANY FAMILIES ARE PUTTING TOGETHER CHILDCARE PLANS FOR THE COMING MONTHS.

CAMP, DAYCARE, AND BABYSITTERS ARE COSTLY.

ACCESS FOR MANY IS LIMITED.

LAWMAKERS IN WASHINGTON ARE WORKING TO GET RELIEF FOR WORKING PARENTS EVERYWHERE.

PEOPLE CANNOT GO TO WORK IF THEY DO NOT HAVE CHILDCARE.

THE ECONOMY IS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED.

>>> AHEAD OF THE SWELTERING SUMMER, GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM IS FLOATING THE IDEA TO PURCHASE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY.

CALIFORNIA HAS COME CLOSE TO RUNNING OUT OF POWER DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN RECENT YEARS.

HE PROPOSES THAT THE STATE PAY PRIVATE COMPANIES TO BUILD LARGE-SCALE PRIVATE POWER PLANTS THAT RUN FROM HEAT AND OFFSHORE WIND.

THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT BY ADDING A CHARGED UP OUR BILLS.

CLEAN ENERGY ADVOCATES SUPPORT THE IDEA BUT SOME UTILITIES WORRY THAT THE PLAN WOULD DRIVE UP COSTS.

THE PROPOSAL IS PENDING IN THE LEGISLATURE.

>>> WE MAY NOT BE FEELING THE HEAT YET, BUT SAN DIEGO COUNTY IS ALREADY OPENING THE COOL ZONES PROGRAM.

IT WILL RUN THROUGH OCTOBER 31st AT MORE THAN 30 LOCATIONS COUNTYWIDE INCLUDING LIBRARY BRANCHES AND COMMUNITY CENTERS.

>>> THE JUNE GLOOM WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES.

IT'S GOING TO BE INTENSIFIED NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE DROPPING IN TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

CLOUDS WILL HANG TOUGH NEAR THE COAST.

THERE WILL BE SOME BRIGHTENING, ESPECIALLY IN THE INTERIOR SECTIONS.

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS TEMPERATURES WILL RISE SLIGHTLY FOR INLAND LOCATIONS.

THE DESERT SHOULD BE NICE AND WARM.

WITH THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY, WE COULD SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS POPPING UP PERHAPS AS EARLY AS LATE SUNDAY.

A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THIS IS THE PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES STAY IN 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW HISTORICAL AVERAGES AND VERY LIMITED COASTAL CLEARING EACH DAY.

OVERNIGHT IN THE METRO, TEMPERATURES NEAR 60 WITH LOW CLOUDS IN THE AREA.

CLOUDS HUGGING THE COAST TONIGHT.

SOME OF THOSE CLOUDS WORKING INTO SOME OF THE VALLEYS.

RAMONA IS DOWN TO 54 AND EL CAJON TO 58.

HERE IS HOW IT LOOKS ON THE FUTURE SATELLITE AND RADAR.

NO PRECIPITATION NEAR US, BUT WE DO HAVE THE LOW CLOUDS WITH US.

THEY WILL BE WIDESPREAD INTO THE MORNING HOURS AND SOME CLEARING IS EXPECTED.

MAYBE A FEW BREAKS OF SUNSHINE TO THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON.

CLOUDS, LIMITED SUNSHINE AT THE COAST.

TOMORROW BETTER CHANCES FOR SUNSHINE.

HERE IS A LOOK AT THE COASTAL FORECAST RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

PLENTY OF CLOUDS.

EARLY NEXT WEEK TURNS COOLER.

CLOUDS WILL BE WIDESPREAD AND THERE MAY BE SOME SPRINKLES RETURNING.

CLOUDS AND THEN SOME SUNSHINE AND A LITTLE BIT MILDER INLAND.

IT TURNS COOLER WITH MORE CLOUDS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

A BIT OF A BREEZE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND WE WILL BE LOOKING AT COOL CONDITIONS WITH SOME SUNSHINE AND QUITE BREEZY AS THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE COMES IN.

THE DESERT SHOULD BE NICE AND WARM.

WE WILL SEE THE BREEZE KICK IN AND NOT QUITE AS WARM HERE.
