What is the U.S doing about the crisis in Haiti?
The Biden administration’s immigration policy is quite confusing and has caused a political nightmare
ticker’s US correspondant explains what’s happening
About a week ago, we saw some 15,000 migrants mostly from Haiti, descend upon the small border town of Del Rio, Texas.
Underneath that international bridge, they made makeshift camps.
Now, of course, there’s no running water, there’s no bathrooms, there’s no food.
It’s quite unsafe conditions for not only the adult, but also the children that have been seen in the drone footage, and also members of the media who are they are chronicling this.
However, one man stopped to speak to people, and his story is like so many others were after some hurricanes hit Haiti.
And of course, with literal corruption, he couldn’t find work, so he decided to go to Brazil, and he stayed there for about five years after work dried up. He then decided to make the dangerous and long trek by foot to come to the US border.
It’s heartbreaking because so many people are just looking for a better life.
Why if so many migrants decided to take this journey now, though.
This is what’s interesting. The Biden administration basically sent a message to the world when they didn’t enforce what was under the Trump administration, or at that time, asylum seekers had to stay in Mexico and it was known as the stay in Mexico policy for the Biden administration moved to rescind that, of course, this case went up to the Supreme Court and last month.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump era policy must stay in place.
Now the Biden ministration is flip flopping.
They are trying to tell people that the southern border is close. Of course they want legal immigration. And so now they’re deporting a lot of the migrants because they again, while they’re waiting to have their first court cases, they want them to stay in Mexico.
