Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #917 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY, December 5, 2023: ‘Going With The Flow’ MIGRANT SURGE Pictures by ZUMA Press award winning photographer K.C. Alfred: As the wind whipped through the camp under a gloomy afternoon sky, a dozen people from countries around the world huddled near a small bonfire trying to stay warm and keep the flames burning. Since September, residents in this remote border community in southeastern San Diego County have seen their population nearly double, jumping from 600 to 1,200 as migrants from around the world cross over into the US from Mexico. Customs and Border Protection blame the recent migrant surge on ‘smugglers peddling disinformation to prey on vulnerable individuals.’ Welcome to ‘Going With The Flow MIGRANT SURGE’.

Clifford and story by staff writer Lauren Peace: Unable to find affordable housing and barred by poor credit or hefty security deposits, families across Tampa Bay are cramming into motel rooms to avoid life on the street.

In a state that’s second-worst in the nation for low-income people seeking housing, according to the National Low-Income Housing Coalition, getting out has begun to feel like a fantasy.
