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.

Agreed.
‘massive number’ ????
How’s bout ALL??
That is the bigger question how did they get here to begin with and which cia asset is picking up ythe tab?
I wonder if the Cubans are outraged yet. We returned hundreds if not thousands of Cubans for attempting to make the sea crossing the Florida. Coast Guard had very strict rules of engagement with people trying to “emigrate” from Cuba.
Since the Clintons representation Haitian interest in this country I expect them to be out front on this. /s
they will send them to Haiti and air lift them in the dead of night to local American airports for dispersment in our communities like they do with illegals at the border
I think Martha’s Vinyard and Cape Cod are perfect places to settle Haitian immigres!
It’s not the vote that spurred ythe fake flights it’s the pr. Everything with the dems is about the vote the aerial photos will cost them big time in November of 22.
They have to pretend to do something right away or lose even more votes.
Exactly.
Can’t fly Americans out of Afghanistan but all the sudden can fly massive numbers of Haitians back home. Got it.
...on September 8th, the Biden administration made a political decision. They announced that they were no longer going to fly deportation flights back to Haiti. 85% of the people under there are from Haiti. They’re fleeing from Haiti. They announced they weren’t going back. There were about 900 Haitians who were getting ready to board the flights when the political operatives in Washington canceled the flights. Well, what happened? Those 900 people, they all pulled out their cell phones and they e-mailed their friends and they e-mailed their families and they texted their friends and their families.
That was 8 days ago on September 8th. Today, it’s September 16th, 8 days later, and 700 people has grown to 10,500 because the word has gone out. - Senator Ted Cruz
True. Biden gave “TEMPORARY” AMNESTY FOR HAITIAN NATIONALS
WASHINGTON, DC – America First Legal President Stephen Miller released the following statement in response to the Biden Administration’s announcement about Temporary Protected Status for Haitian nationals:
“The Biden Administration’s decision to designate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for noncitizen Haitian nationals living in the United States — thereby voiding their departure dates, amnestying those here illegally, and granting them federal work permits — is a grave abuse of power. It is a clear and obvious violation of Congressional intent, and the reasons provided, including citing an earthquake that happened during the first term of the Obama Administration, are completely pretextual and fraudulent. This has nothing to do with conditions in Haiti – the Trump Administration removed thousands of aliens to Haiti without issue — and everything to do with circumventing Congress to adopt a mass migration agenda.
“There is no limiting principle: millions come here on temporary visas from badly impoverished nations. That doesn’t give them the right to ignore their visa expiration dates and stay here indefinitely. Under the Administration’s fallacious reasoning, most of the world would be able to enter the United States and never leave. And that is exactly what will happen for thousands of Haitians who have come unlawfully in the last year, alone. Even those who came unlawfully during the border surge that the Biden Administration invited will now be here almost indefinitely, with work permits–so long as they resided in the United States as of May 21.”

George Soros.
They'll be 'deported' in the middle of the night to red states like Florida where they can infect citizens with COVID... Yes, liberal hatred is that sick...
How the hell is he suppose to seal the border when all Port of Entry’s are Federal Property? They come in on Federal property and leave on Federal transportation. If they came in on state land or private property then it fall under his authority. The Fed’s know this and that’s why they’re swarming the Port of Entry’s. There’s nothing Abbot can do!
Closing the bridge from Mexico to Del Rio will get the Mexican government’s attention real quick.
Citidad Acuna (the city on the Mexican side) has the largest number of auto parts plants along the Mexican border.
That’s big money to the Mexican economy.
They might actually do something about that!
BINGO
Put Chou Bidementia on one of those flights.
Yea, I meant Haitians that had already moved to Central America and Mexico... They decided to move again.
Unsurprisingly all nationalities see our borders now as a means to by pass what’s required for legal entry. Bad people with records in their countries know this is the easiest way to get in.
