US Teams Up with Mexico to Deter Haitian Migrants as Biden's Border Crisis Worsens

Share

U.S. and Mexican officials are collaborating to deter more Haitian migrants from reaching the U.S., and some of the migrants who were deported did not know they were going back home, according to multiple reports.

U.S. Border Patrol agents on horseback directed Haitian migrants attempting to reach Del Rio, Texas, to turn around and go back to Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, the El Paso Times reported on Sunday.

At the same time, some Mexican immigration officials blocked off some entryways into Ciudad Acuña in an effort to stop more migrants from reaching the Rio Grande.

“Let’s go! Get out now! Back to Mexico!” a U.S. Border Patrol agent shouted at migrants, according to the El Paso Times.

Eventually, U.S. agents allowed migrants to return to the Del Rio encampment where more than 10,000 others wait in hopes of applying for asylum.

U.S. and Mexican officials told migrants they would be deported to Haiti if they joined others under the Del Rio International Bridge, the El Paso Times reported.

More than 2,000 migrants were transferred from the bridge area to other processing facilities, while others were placed on flights to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, according to Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano, a Democrat.

“Two thousand people is much better than what we were doing before, which we were only moving about 400,” Lozano said, according to the El Paso Times.

Some Haitian migrants who made it to the Del Rio camp claimed not to know they were being deported to Haiti, The Washington Post reported on Sunday.

Is this the fault of the Biden administration?

Johnson Bordes was deported to Port-Au-Prince just two weeks after arriving in Del Rio, Texas.

“How could they bring us back here?” Bordes said in Port-Au-Prince, according to the Post.

“This is an injustice. I don’t even know where we are going to sleep tonight.”

Bordes left Haiti in 2010 when he was 12 years old, settled in the Dominican Republic and later moved to Chile, the Post reported.

His family motivated him to try to come to the U.S., with no expectation the trip could lead him back to where he came from.

“If Biden continues with these deportations, he’s no better than Trump,” Bordes said, according to the Post.

Bordes met several other migrants who were deported to Haiti after not living in the country for many years, according to the Post.

“I’m afraid for my safety here. I don’t even know this country anymore.”
