Deportees land in Port-au-Prince: ‘Nobody told us we were going back to Haiti’

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — He crossed the Mexican border into Texas only two weeks ago, joyous at the prospect of building anew in the United States. Now part of the first wave of deportees rapidly ejected by the Biden administration amid a fresh surge at the border, Johnson Bordes, 23, stepped off a Boeing 737 on Sunday and into the Haitian capital...

...He mingled with other confused deportees, many of whom hadn’t seen Haiti in years and now spoke Spanish or Portuguese better than Haitian Creole. Several families told The Washington Post that they were never told they were being deported back to Haiti.

“If Biden continues with these deportations, he’s no better than Trump,” Bordes said. “I’m afraid for my safety here. I don’t even know this country anymore.”...

Then they need to vote in better politicians that WILL set up Chilean programs.

Uh; they CAN vote; right?

They ride dolphins. There is a cottage industry in Haiti which makes dolphin saddles and halters.

Was there a campaign ran in South America to get all these Haitians to come to the USA at the same time?

It is strange that all those Haitians are arriving together on buses at the same time and crossing into the USA.

Who is funding this?

Before the proliferation of wireless phones (even in Haiti!) there was the telebouche...word of mouth person to person usually initiated by radio.

I expect the Mexican gov paid Haitians or Creole-speaking Mexicans to spread the word that SleepyJoe had thrown the doors open and this was going to be a limited opportunity.

Add free bus rides to the Rio Grande area during this recent Mexican fete and voila!

Why is nobody investigating and/or reporting on who is funding and providing their trips to the U.S. border? Big, air conditioned charter buses dropping the off near the river?

he wouldn’t have to deal with the Bridge people building tent cities etc.

I have been over that bridge, where all these people are camped out, more times than I want to remember. We used to go over to Mexico regularly, to have a nice, inexpensive dinner. I wouldn’t get anywhere near the place now.

Most had not had contact with their families since leaving. What kind of people leave that crap hole, and never write to their family back home.

Not believable at face value. They were likely sending money transfers back to Haiti on a regular basis.

Maybe somebody can ask them who chartered the flights, who organized the mass transfer, who in Mexico allowed them into Mexico, who in the USA coordinated with the organizers, and who financed it.

And who ordered the total media silence on the questions that I have just asked.

One they are only deporting the single males. Women, children and family units are being allowed entry.

Propaganda move by Biden so he can say, I'm sending the migrants back to their country of origin.

Actually only a few are leaving and he is keeping 95% here.
