The letter arrived at the White House amid sharp bipartisan criticism over the Biden administration’s response to an encampment of thousands of mostly Haitian migrants in Del Rio, Texas, just across the border from Mexico. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who toured the area early this week, told Congress on Tuesday that the conditions in Del Rio were a “human tragedy” that officials were racing to address.
U.S. officials had by Tuesday reduced the size of the encampment to under 10,000 people from a high of as many as 15,000 last week, Mayorkas said. “We continue to move individuals from Del Rio to other processing centers to facilitate their repatriation,” he said, while the government has “increased the number of repatriation flights to Haiti and to other third countries.
The letter did not address photos and videos that emerged earlier this week that appeared to show Border Patrol agents on horseback in Del Rio charging migrants as they crossed the Rio Grande. In some of the photos, it appeared the agents were waiving or whipping reins at the migrants or in the air. Democrats have been particularly vocal in condemning the agents’ actions.on Tuesday the images were “horrible” and that “human beings should never be treated that way.
So we are gonna act like this isn’t some agenda? Thousands of Haitians just happened to show up? And now we are fighting over Afghanistan refugees vs Haitian refugees. Come on the people KNOW this is planned.
Let the Haitians in but not the Mexicans. Got it
