In this Weeks Episode of The Green Line, Art Del Cueto shared his experiences from a trip to San Diego, where he led a group of Congressmen on a tour of the Southern border. He discussed the complexities surrounding asylum claims and deportations, particularly his belief that individuals who miss their court dates shouldn't be immediately deported. He also highlighted the methods drug smugglers use to bring narcotics into the U.S. and the difficulty of tracking undocumented immigrants who evade capture. Art criticized the current administration for their delayed response to the border crisis and emphasized the need for swift action to address these growing concerns.

During his San Diego visit, Art compared the city to others like Los Angeles and Oakland, noting that while San Diego felt rougher, it was still more enjoyable. He shared an amusing anecdote about attending a Padres vs. Detroit Tigers baseball game, recounting his challenges with parking, including a $50 fee, and navigating the crowded stadium. Despite the costly experience and lingering smell from nearby marijuana use, Art still enjoyed the game, walking around the stadium, getting a hot dog, and even scoring a free Padres pullover.

Art expressed frustration with the high costs associated with attending the baseball game, particularly regarding the confusion around "standing room only" tickets, which led him to purchase more expensive seats that he felt weren't worth the price. He also pointed out issues with the stadium layout and overall atmosphere. Despite these frustrations, he acknowledged that the game was enjoyable overall and a memorable experience.

In a broader discussion, Art voiced concerns about the homelessness and drug use in cities like Tucson and San Diego. He questioned the leadership’s inaction in addressing these growing problems and emphasized the role of drug cartels in funding their activities through drug smuggling. Art predicted an increase in crime and shoplifting during the holiday season due to the worsening situation, underscoring the urgent need for stronger leadership and immediate action.
