Migrant Boat Lands on La Jolla Beach, Occupants Scatter Into Neighborhood

A boat apparently full of migrants washed ashore this week in a Southern California beach town — and when it touched down on land … the people inside went heading for the hills.

This wild footage has been circulating online for the past 24 hours, and it seems to show what eyewitnesses claim was a panga boat that was dead set on landing in La Jolla, CA — which it eventually did, in the middle of the day no less.

The people inside are purported to be undocumented migrants … which is what makes what happens next all the more shocking — these folks hopped out and scattered very quickly.

As you can see, several occupants from the boat come running up the beach onto the road above — with a bunch of bystanders watching them in plain view, mind you — and they start making their way into the nearby seaside neighborhood … there were even kids in the mix.

As onlookers took it all in with shock … it seems there were even some first responders who saw it happen too. You can hear sirens from some sort of vehicle, presumably a lifeguard.

As the cameraman notes … they don’t seem too eager to stop ’em, although it’s unclear if they did. It’s also unknown if these folks were eventually approached/apprehended. Of course, it’s worth pointing out that La Jolla is in San Diego County … a place of sanctuary here in the States, and where migrants can technically come and seek refuge/asylum.

We saw something very similar take place off the shores of Malibu not too long ago — so, on its face, it would appear this is somewhat of a regular occurrence on the West Coast.

It’s also emblematic of the ongoing border debate in this country — don’t even get us started on what’s going down in Texas, where a raging conflict is reaching its boiling point.
