The thousands of Haitians massing at the U.S. southern border has put the Biden administration in the exact place it’s tried to avoid: knee deep in immigration politics

.

“Responsibility for the suffering and deaths resulting from summary expulsions and removals now falls squarely on your Administration and will be part of your enduring legacy,” the letter states. “Deportation flights to Haiti must stop, and those seeking safety at our borders must be granted their legally assured chance to seek asylum."

“They knew this was coming, and they didn't take the steps to mitigate this so now you've got a bunch of people that are sitting under a bridge in conditions — these are little tiny kids sitting under this bridge in deplorable conditions,” Judd said. “It looks like a warzone but in the United States. I'm completely, totally floored.”

Internally, administration officials say they have few good options to deal with the current situation at the border, save to continue the course of removing migrants and deterring future migration. Agencies are moving to send more Border Patrol and ICE agents to the Del Rio, Texas, area to help contain the overflow of people.

“Is there a frustration — and I don't want to get into politics — among Democratic voters? Hell yeah,” Cuellar said, referring to Democratic voters in Texas. The dramatic increase this year in migrants crossing the border is “not normal for us,” he said. “And we live at the border.”

You need to handle this issue in a humanitarian way, and end the human trafficking and illegal migration. I highly recommend you seek advice from Greece and the EU. POTUS

Gee! Who’da thought? Invite them with free stuff and be surprised they come? Typical American Marxist playing dumb.

This was one of Rush Limbaugh's final 'don't doubt me' predictions about the viability of Joe Biden, that the 25th Amendment would ordain Kamala Harris sometime within his first year. I hate it when Rush got it right. Now it's the Hunter Biden story without media cover.

Why is Politico not reporting on evidence that Republican allies are directing Haitians to converge on the border? Bad journalism.

RETURN them to sender

Story should be 'Republican lies about open border leading to increased immigrants' Reps are owning the media. Lie about border open, which triggers ppl coming, then blame Biden. On top of that Trump era CBP roughing up poc is great for cheers from maga base & criticism on Biden

Have you ever noticed that Republican lead states especially Texas and Florida have absolutely NO real solutions to keeping American's safe, happy and healthy but only blame, shame and damming. We need leaders that lead with action and not speeches'! 'Just petty politics!'

1996, partisan & intraparty disputes caused the bill to fail. 2000, R’s blocked the legislation. 2004-07, R’s and pro-labor D’s, opposed the bill. 2010, business interests & re-election concerns killed the bill. 2019 border wall funding & govt shut down derailed negotiations.

Many of these people started arriving at the border long before Biden was president. If the tfg had helped the Haitians after the earthquake, perhaps many would not have left their country.

Then someone orchestrated this. Abbott most likely.

All these refugees, are they better living under a bridge or staying in their home, Haiti? It doesn’t help when you have a Texas Governor who closed all the refugee centers! We have a heartless Governor who lives in a wheelchair 🤦‍♀️

Haitians in Mexico? How? Why?

Return the Invaders to sender or dump them at the WH, cnn , nbc , ect..

“Political quicksand” - yeap

These cost will be unbelievable and don't get me started on how unsafe they've made us? They don't know who has come in our country. Harris must have some root cause info on this in her report... what a joke administration.

What’s Mexico’s role in all this? They’re just shrugging on this one. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Problem is that Biden thinks the solution is to ignore the problem…he put VP Harris in charge…what is she doing about it? Most of these Haitians left Haiti years ago and have been living in South and Central America.

This is a self inflicted wound. The migration crisis on the southern border was mishandled since it started

That’s because the US is constantly destabilizing Haiti 🇭🇹.

Biden admin outlines response to surge of Haitian migrants at borderDHS 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.' 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. So much for being different from the Trump administration. No surprises there,for the 🌎 most undesirable inhabitants,those of African decent. Just saying.
