Mexican officials are quietly helping thousands of illegal immigrant Haitians make their way to the United States, according to an internal Homeland Security document that details the route taken by the migrants, the thousands of dollars paid to human smugglers along the way and the sometimes complicit role of the governments of America’s neighbors.
More than 6,000 Haitians arrived at the border in San Diego over the last year — a staggering 18-fold increase over fiscal year 2015. Some 2,600 more were waiting in northern Mexico as of last week, and 3,500 others were not far behind, waiting in Panama to make the trip north, according to the documents, obtained by Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican.
The migrants are paying at least $2,350 to be smuggled from South America to the doorstep of the U.S., where many present themselves at the border and many demand asylum, hoping to gain a foothold here.
“Haitians have forged a dangerous and clandestine new path to get to the United States,” says the document, which lays out in detail the route and the prices paid along the way for smugglers, bus tickets and, where they can be obtained legally, transit documents.
Their trek begins in Brazil and traces a 7,100-mile route up the west coast of South American and Central America, crossing 11 countries and taking as long as four months.
Some countries are more welcoming than others, according to the document, which was reviewed by The Washington Times. Nicaragua is listed as being particularly vigilant about deporting the Haitian migrants if they are caught — so smugglers charge $1,000 to get through that country.

Elect Donald Trump!!
Act of war, imo.
Oh what's that? You mean you don't see the DR having military coups every decade and UN jackboots distributing goods? That's because their two-thirds of the island is a top Caribbean tourist destination because they have a stable government with relatively free markets and people who embraced their European roots rather than their crappy African ones.
Exactly! Haiti is a hellhole while the DR is a thriving country.
This crap doesn’t happen just because a corrupt president like Obama wills it.
It has to be carried out by hundreds of disloyal, time-serving hacks in the border patrol, DHS, and the State Department.
Instead of raising hell and standing up and quitting - they quietly admit these illegals at the border, coordinate with numerous Mexican officials to bring them to our border, etc.
It’s an act of war. It violates our sovereignty.
Illiterate, diseased, unvetted Haitians arriving by the thousands. And this is while we have “closed” borders.
“Act of war, imo”
The mexicans are doing this under the dictates from the soldier of islam in the white house. No doubt funded by U.S. taxpayers. We’ve had years of these types of stories.
Mexico is not our friend.
Hasn’t ever been really.
During WWII they hosted Nazi spies.
Such a nice bundle of banditos. What should we do boycott Taco bell? No one in this government has the cojones to get a few Pancho Villas on the border.
America should have invaded Mexico years ago.
It’s only fair....they’ve been invading us for a LONG time.
Build that wall.
This is a worthwhile campaign issue.
“America should have invaded Mexico years ago.”
We did.
In 1845 the United States moved military troops into Mexico. In April 1846 the president of Mexico announced it would fight a defensive war against American encroachment. On May 13, 1846 the Congress of the US declared war on Mexico. On July 7, 1846 Mexico officially declared war on the US.
The war ended by treaty in 1848. Mexico lost 900,000 square miles of its sovereign territory to the US as a result of the war.
I meant we should have invaded them a second time.....in the 1970’s or 1980’s.
