The U.S. has flown more than 300 Haitians camped in a Texas border town back to their homeland, and tried blocking others from crossing the border from Mexico, in one of the largest expulsions of refugees in decades.

back to their homeland Sunday and tried blocking others from crossing the border from Mexico in a massive show of force that signaled the beginning of what could be one of America’s swiftest, large-scale expulsions of migrants or refugees in decades.

The only obvious parallel for such an expulsion without an opportunity to seek asylum was in 1992 when the Coast Guard intercepted Haitian refugees at sea, said Yael Schacher, senior U.S. advocate at Refugees International whose doctoral studies focused on the history of U.S. asylum law.Similarly large numbers of Mexicans have been sent home during peak years of immigration but over land and not so suddenly.

As they crossed, some Haitians carried boxes on their heads filled with food. Some removed their pants before getting into the river and carried them. Others were unconcerned about getting wet.

Biden administration is smart enough to know that majority of U.S. citizens want a secure border (and not to just let any in who shows up). The midterm elections are not that far off.

Will the way Psaki said it there only coming here for a vacation the way she said it anyone that comes has are will have to be vaccinated and with card are test but they can just come in without but like she said they don’t plan on staying guess there just vacationing

POTUS Our Government needs to STOP BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE FROM CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICAN LEADERS WHO BRING PEOPLE THEY DO NOT WANT IN THEIR COUNTRY TO OUR BORDER...apply for 'USA Entry' in your country not at our border.

Maybe if Biden had not open the border, stop building the fence and didn't say COME on in MAN

Fly them all back but I really feel sorry for these people! The US government should refund the money they paid to the coyotes and the government should hold the coyotes responsible and freeze their assets if possible... these people probably paid their life savings!

It's an invasion, but according to PresidentPuppet the border is secure. AmericaIsOnFire

So when are they flying the 1.5 million Illegal Aliens that have come here in the name of replacement Migration since 'Traitor' Joe was installed? Asking for My Haitian homey.

😥

Good. The US is full. These people need to go back home and re-build their country. These latino illegal aliens need to be deported right along with them. Enough is a enough…

It is terribly sad to see this but why is the US responsible to help everyone else in the world. Where's the UN? Isn't it the UNs existence to help citizens of countries in need?

In all, U.S. authorities moved to expel many of the more 12,000 migrants camped around a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, after they crossed from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico.

Latin American refugees... Let them in all day. Haitian refugees... Reject and send back. Cuban refugees... Vehemently swear off immigration. Tell me why the DNC is so particular with it's policy? They are escaping for a reason. We should find a way to welcome them. We have our own impoverished people to help here. Go home and fix your own country.

Scores of people waded back and forth across the Rio Grande on Saturday afternoon, re-entering Mexico to purchase water, food and diapers in Ciudad Acuña before returning to the Texas encampment under and near a bridge in the border city of Del Rio. Whenever United States says it can't close the border. Just send Black people. Problem solved. They need HELP, pandemic, earthquakes, unstable economy, political violence, etc. Has, and is still threatening their existence.

Ripples from Texas abortion law spread to Illinois safe havenAn Illinois clinic, emblematic of a state that has deemed itself a safe haven for abortion care, is feeling the reverberations of the Texas abortion law in the form of dozens of women forced to travel hundreds of miles just to secure an appointment. Remember, in Texas a woman can be raped at gunpoint and could be forced to bear the child and furthermore, the rapist could sue the woman for visitation afterwards. Outrageous! America is not, by any means…The home of the free. It is the home of assorted groups trying to tell people what to do.
