Haitian migrants gather on the banks of the Rio Grande after they crossed into the United States from Mexico on Sept. 18, 2021, in Del Rio, Texas.DEL RIO, Texas — Hoping to stop the flow of migrants, the United States on Sunday tried to block the Mexican border at an isolated Texas town where, but the migrants quickly found other ways to cross nearby.
Many of the migrants have lived in Latin America for years, but they are now are seeking asylum in the U.S. as economic opportunities in Brazil and elsewhere dry up. Thousands are living under and near a bridge in Del Rio. The blockade and deportations marked a swift response to the sudden arrival of Haitians in Del Rio, a Texas city of about 35,000 people roughly 145 miles west of San Antonio. It sits on a relatively remote stretch of border that lacks capacity to hold and process such large numbers of people.
Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry wrote Sunday on Twitter that he is concerned about conditions at the border camp and that the migrants would be welcomed back.
Maybe a wall?
think about it...who is funding this to get thousands of Haitians to arrive in TEXAS!!! Who is funding this...it smells rotten. In South Florida maybe 5 Haitians would wash up on shore ....but thousands all together...really...who is funding this...
Stop the influx! We have enough of those people in our country to manage. They cause crime and drain out safety net resources.
How did that many people come from Haiti, to the Mexican border all at once?
Being poor doesn't give you a free pass into the country. Flying illegal immigrants home should be the normal.
What the Government should do is demand those Rich Republican boat owners who bought the Haitian refugees over there, take them back or let them live on their properties and feed and care for them.
Why didn't Republicans do this when they had power under Trump? Because they need the border to scare voters.
Let them in America, Hillary Clinton, family members and close friends have looted Haitian so dry
So we can welcome afghans in but not Haitians?
