TThe Biden administration plans on “massive movements” of Haitian migrants in a small Texas border city on flights to Haiti starting Sunday, an official said Friday, representing a swift and dramatic response to thousands who suddenly assembled under and around a bridge.
Details are yet to be finalized but will likely involve five to eight flights a day, according to the official with direct knowledge of the plans who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. San Antonio, the nearest major city, may be among the departure cities.
U.S. authorities closed traffic to vehicles and pedestrians in both directions at the only border crossing in Del Rio, Texas, after chaos unfolded Friday and presented the administration with a new and immediate challenge as it tries to manage large numbers of asylum-seekers who have been reaching U.S. soil.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said it was closing the border crossing with Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, “to respond to urgent safety and security needs.” Travelers were being directed to Eagle Pass, Texas, 57 miles (91 kilometers) away.
Haitians crossed the Rio Grande freely and in a steady stream, going back and forth between the U.S. and Mexico through knee-deep water with some parents carrying small children on their shoulders. Unable to buy supplies in the U.S., they returned briefly to Mexico for food and cardboard to settle, temporarily at least, under or near the bridge in Del Rio, a city of 35,000 that has been severely strained by migrant flows in recent months.

Maybe Biden’s afraid the Haitians won’t be reliable Democrat voters because of the Clintons.
I hope someone watches Flight Tracker. I’m guessing those plane won’t make it to Haiti. Is there a Haiti, Idaho or South Dakota?
Fox News said today that these Haitians are people who have lived in Brazil and other places for over a year and they did not come directly from Haiti.

Notice they didn’t say “all”.
We’ll see. They wouldn’t be here to begin with if he weren’t such an idiot.
I heard a journalist from Steve Bannon’s war room today saying that most of them came from South America and Central America and they decided they were OK there but better in the USA with all the benefits being offered so why not come on over. These people are not coming directly from Haiti. He says they may have lived in South America for 10 years.
So really, it depends on how old they are.

I also doubt Biden will do what he says. But we should record that they said it for future use when we really want to do this.
Del Rio was a nice border town.
Just imagine town of 35,000 with Haitian population of 10,000 living under the bridge on pieces of cardboard, and now to be supposedly deported.
This is very ugly and can get worse fast.
Let’s just say they do intend to fly them home. Once they figure out what’s going on and they refuse to get on the plane, then what?
Many are Africans who can’t get in legally so they fly to Haiti and come in as a Haitian refugee.
!0,000 Haitian Africans overnight tells us someone is “organizing’ these people.
Actually they aren’t Central American nor Mexican....sheriff says most 70% plus are Haitian or Africans.

Maybe a flight or two for show.
I put my finger on this guy: https://www.rescue.org/david-miliband
Former high-level UK pol who rather suspiciously came over here a couple of weeks ago to work on settling (I’d say importing) refugees here.
Ronald Reagan used to clear out masses of people , in Berkeley, with helicopters dispensing tear gas.
Worked like a charm
