The number of migrants trying to cross into the United States is climbing daily, with Title 42 set to expire in less than a week.
Title 42 allows the government to turn away migrants at the border with the goal of protecting the public from the pandemic.
In Texas, more than 2,000 migrants are arriving daily.
Closer to San Diego, local activists tell CBS 8 they too are seeing more migrants.
Shelters in both Tijuana and the El Paso region are full.
"There isn't a lot of infrastructure. They're sleeping in cold freezing weather," said Pedro Rios, director of American Friends Service Committee.
The San Diego activist is in El Paso to discuss the ongoing issues at the border.
He says there's a lot of uncertainty over what will happen once Title 42 expires on December 21st.
"There's not a lot of information and this really frustrates and makes conditions much more desperate for migrants seeking information on how they might apply for asylum,” said Rios.
