DHS Sec. Mayorkas delivers remarks at U.S.-Mexico border on surge of Haitian migrants: 'If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed.'

The city leaders declared a state of emergency in the border town of Del Rio where nearly 13,000 migrants gathered, seeking asylum.The Biden administration over the weekend outlined steps it plans to take in response to a surge of migrants along the southern border attempting to gain entry into the small town of Del Rio, Texas.

Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said at a press conference Sunday that the administration was moving quickly to increase removal flights of Haitians from the border and said he hoped to have all of the migrants processed in less than a week. Ortiz outlined steps currently being taken by immigration authorities in response. Officials continue to provide water, toilets, towels, medical care and within the next 24 hours, CBP will have sent 600 personnel to the area.

"This temporary closure and shift is necessary in order for CBP to respond to urgent safety and security needs presented by an influx of migrants into Del Rio and is effective immediately," CBP said in a statement."It will advance and protect national interests and help ensure the safety of the traveling public, commercial traffic, and CBP employees and facilities."

The influx has strained local resources and prompted the Department of Homeland Security to order up basic resources, including water, towels and portable toilets. Del Rio is a small town of about 30,000 more than two hours outside of San Antonio and has consistently struggled to handle the repeated influx of migrants coming across the border over the past year.

I feel sorrow for those folks returning to a Mad Max dystopia in Haiti There is a lot of poverty and injustice in the world but we cannot absorb so many populations People confuse those 'poor' with being stupid or criminal but Success in life is in part all about luck and timing.

Finish that wall

Except its not true...”family” units are being processed and let go into the interior of the US with a notice to appear YEARS later. The only ones being returned are single males.

That's not how the asylum law works. If a migrant crosses the border between Ports of Entry they have 12 months to present themselves to Border Patrol and request asylum. Then an immigration judge decides if they qualify for asylum. DHS needs to read their own laws.

He’s crossing his fingers

No surprises there,for the 🌎 most undesirable inhabitants,those of African decent. Just saying.

So much for being different from the Trump administration.

Stop just repeating this garbage! What they are doing IS NOT ILLEGAL. IT IS A GUARANTEED HUMAN RIGHT UNDER US AND INTERNATIONAL LAW. The actions by DHS, ICE, & CBP are not just illegal, they are also explicitly human rights violations.

Biden pitching partnership after tough stretch with alliesPresident Joe Biden pledged a more collaborative international approach from the U.S. But as he prepares to speak at the United Nations this week, he is at odds with allies on a number of high-profile issues, including vaccines, Afghanistan and China. Tyranny Joe will get everything he wants. Suggestion: Fire Blinken. He’s not a good Secretary of State. Then, start treating the continent of Europe with respect and consideration. We’ve been taking them for granted the past 25 years. The UK is NOT Europe.
