Officials in the San Diego area are urging Congress to pass stricter U.S. border laws amid an increase in migrants arriving on the shores of California’s beaches by boat.

In the most recent incident, a speedboat navigated between surfers and beachgoers before it was abandoned in the suburb of Carlsbad, just north of San Diego.

Several videos of Saturday’s incident circulated on social media, showing the boat running ashore when at least 15 people jumped out and some of them ran to the street and escaped in an awaiting vehicle. Others went into the residential and commercial district, frequented by tourists and locals, Reuters reported.Evading Border Patrol

While most immigrants who illegally enter the country turn themselves into Border Patrol agents, some groups try to avoid federal agents, which local officials said raises significant concerns.
