The Department of Homeland Security is warning of a surge of Haitian migrants sailing to the United States seeking economic opportunities and asylum from elevated levels of violence in their home country.

that the Biden administration failed to anticipate the latest influx of Haitians at the U.S. border with Mexico, despite tracking Haitian migration for months. Several internal government documents obtained by Yahoo News show that multiple intelligence agencies within the Department of Homeland Security had repeatedly downplayed the potential for mass Haitian migration to the U.S. since as early as March 1.

Protesters at a USCIS immigration services building in Miami on Wednesday denounce the expulsion of Haitian refugees from Del Rio, Texas. According to the intelligence alert issued Thursday, many of the Haitians who have been detained by U.S. authorities in Puerto Rico probably did not set sail from Haiti but rather from the Dominican Republic, where Haitians are paying boat captains “between $5000-$7000 USD cash up front per person for a seat aboard a Puerto Rican-bound yola,” a small vessel typically used for smuggling.

The DHS alert notes that in previous years, border officials have encountered an average of 350 Haitians headed to the U.S. from the Dominican Republic, but that the number has tripled this calendar year to more than 900 so far.

The Biden Administration should have never flown any Haitian back to Haiti at this time. Another plan not well thought out.

Haitians are seeking asylum. Their lives are in danger. Anyone in their desperate position would do the same thing.

U.S. and Mexico fly Haitian migrants away from border as pressure builds on BidenMexico and the United States were on Wednesday preparing to fly more Haitian migrants away from chaotic U.S.-Mexico border camps, as pressure mounted on U.S. President Joe Biden to stop expulsions of Haitians to their poor, disaster-hit homeland. U.S. authorities have deported more than 500 Haitians since Sunday from a camp housing thousands of mostly Haitian migrants on the U.S. side of border, by the small Texan city of Del Rio. Such deportation flights back to Haiti would continue, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said. 500? What a joke.
