Biden administration discussing using Guantanamo Bay to process possible influx of Haitian migrants

The Biden administration is discussing using Guantanamo Bay to process Haitian migrants if there is a mass exodus to the US amid worsening conditions in the country, according to a US official.

For years, Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, which is located about 200 miles from Haiti, has had a migrant center to hold and process migrants before returning them to Haiti or a third country.

The center — which is separate from where terrorist suspects are held — has been used before. In 2010, for example, the US military prepared the site in anticipation of Haitians fleeing the earthquake-stricken country.

But discussions to expand capacity at the site mark the latest sign of growing concern within the administration about people fleeing Haiti in droves as gangs attack government structures and social order is on the brink of collapse.

Migrants from Haiti would likely attempt to reach Florida by sea in a journey that can be perilous, and the US is weighing plans to take those interdicted at sea and transport them to Guantanamo for processing and potential repatriation.

“We are clear-eyed that economic, political, and security instability are key drivers for migrants around the world. We are closely monitoring the situation and the routes frequently used by migrants to reach our borders and at this time, irregular migration flows through the Caribbean remain low,” a National Security Council spokesperson told CNN.

A Homeland Security spokesperson said that so far, migration from the Caribbean remains low.

Great idea. Then Cuba could add a few spies to the mix.

Gosh, no one could have foreseen an “influx” of “Haitian migrants” to be “processed”-—
other than 100% of the people on Free Republic.

Biden thinks the sympathetic black vote and white sympathizers who like that influx (plus new Dem voter registrations filled out for every Haitian) will outnumber the enraged, seething with anger people who DO NOT like this “influx.”

We are close to anti-immigrant riots. Many times in our history and nearly every country’s history.

“The Biden Administration”. We know Biden isn’t doing any of this. Who the hell is running this ‘Administration’? Where are the investigative reporters? Never mind, I’ll go back to sleep now.

Just wait. There will be ballot boxes inside the barracks. The more ballots an individual Haitian fills out, the better their future accommodations.

““We are clear-eyed that economic, political, and security instability are key drivers for migrants around the world.””

Aren’t these “spokespeople” for the administration the funniest people you’ve ever heard? They’re a laugh a minute. Don’t they know they have the solution right at their fingertips? Hint - she’s been called the VP....in some circles - in others, something else. That’s supposed to be her specialty...well, ONE of them anyway!

Send ALL of the illegals crossing the southern border to Gitmo, with a 24-hour requirement to be released into Cuba. I have it on good authority that the medical services there are great. And a bunch of 57 Chevys to tool around in. Illegal heaven!

No! Release them INTO Cuba. Let the Revolutionaries live up to their Marxist promises.
