SAN DIEGO, California — The US Border Patrol has more than twice as many migrants as they can hold in the San Diego area of the southern border — and immigrants there were thanking President Biden for letting them in.

The agency’s processing centers in the region are 245% capacity, as 1,812 migrants were being detained as of Friday in facilities normally meant to hold 750, according to agency data exclusively obtained by The Post.

With the influx — and the fact that migrants can only be held 72 hours — there’s been more than 125,000 migrants released onto the streets of San Diego since September.

Migrants who were exiting Border Patrol buses this week told The Post they were from a diverse array of countries — from China, India and Egypt to Jordan, Mauritania and Colombia.

“Thank you America, thank you American president,” a migrant from India said after being dropped off by Border Patrol and allowed to enter the US.

With so many people coming, there’s concern among the rank-and-file Border Patrol agents that the agency is not able to properly vet everyone before releasing them into the country with court dates
