This is a story about an alien migrant smuggling attempt, but that they were not interdicted earlier, says something about our Maritime Domain Awareness.
Why did they get all the way to the Cabrillo National Monument at the tip of Point Loma without being interdicted?
San Diego is something of a special case in terms of Maritime Domain Awareness, in that the distance from the entrance to San Diego harbor, with its cruise ships and Major US Navy bases, where there are aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines, to the Mexican territorial sea is less than ten nautical miles.
Reportedly the law enforcement is beefing up its resources to interdict migrants, but let us not forget that terrorists can also make this trip in less than an hour, so we really need constant vigilance and a ready response.

I hope this is a sad blessing in disguise. If this can’t ring the alarm bell of what the heck are we doing if we can let this happen nothing will without a worse body count. ;(
