The San Diego International Airport has become overrun with migrants waiting for flights out of the area — with more than 300 hunkering down there last week, including some who sat on the floor for days. NY Port reporter Melissa Koenig shares this story.

Volunteers say the situation has gotten worse in recent weeks.
