US expels thousands of Haitian migrants from Texas town on Mexico border

[Unknown-V]

US authorities have begun deporting migrants camped in a Texas border town and blocking others from crossing from Mexico. Thousands of migrants, mostly Haitian refugees, arrived in the city of Del Rio in the past week, creating an influx that has overwhelmed city officials.

Seriously, they need to fix their country, Instead, they crash on US border every day.

No they are telling the migrants to get on deportation flights without telling them the flights are going to Haiti.

Border Patrol agents are using reins like whips to round up Haitian immigrants. How is that OK?

U.S. Border Patrol agents are using reins like whips to round up Haitian immigrants in Del Rio, Texas. What happened to Biden's more humane approach?

No. Whips not used. Those are reigns of the horses.

An interesting and sad angle here: A lot, if not most, of these Haitians settled down in South and Central American countries after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti and made half-decent lives there. One family's story is that the man was settled in Panama and was making $60/day as a welder or something like--not a small amount. His daughter even getting free schooling in Panama. But he decided to come to America to make his life better.
And another family sold everything they had--about $10,000-- and took the dangerous journey for three months (from Chile or Columbia) to Texas.
A lot of these migrants in Latin American countries managed to start new lives in their adopted homes. Both those families and several others have been deceptively sent back to Haiti via commercial flights a couple of days ago! A huge shock to them! Read their accounts on Washington Post. Horrifying reversal of their gains and dreams!

I am sad for them and all Haitians. But if you let those 14,000 into America then 14 million people will be next. It is better to uplift the poor Latin American and Caribbean countries instead.

PS. Haiti may be THE WORST country in the world right now in terms of safety, opportunities, environmental degradations? Or is there any place worse? I can't think of even worn torn Middle Eastern countries or some Sub Saharan countries are as bad as Haiti right now? On paper Haiti may look better than some others but things have really deteriorated in last some months.

Actually it was a right decision, those who don't know about it... there were few hundred Haitian refugee's then Kamala and President said they wont send them back, hence they all call their relatives back in haiti and many more joined in, I have serious doubt that all of them face prosecution of some kind there, its just they are migrating through illegal means, I am not in favor of putting them in detention camps or cages, nor use force to disperse them, but this is also not a right way to legally enter any country be it America/EU/or any other.
