'FEELS LIKE ANOTHER COUNTRY': ON THE GROUND AT THE DEL RIO MIGRANT CAMP

A large white bus bound for San Antonio, Texas, was overtaken Monday afternoon during the two-and-a-half-hour trip from the international bridge in Del Rio. The migrants on board had been picked up from the makeshift migrant camp, where thousands are waiting to be taken into custody, two federal law enforcement agents told the Washington Examiner.

"They did break out of the bus, and they did escape," a senior federal law enforcement official confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Tuesday.

It is not clear which federal agency, Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was overseeing the transport. CBP initially apprehends, transports, and processes illegal immigrants, while ICE is responsible for longer-term detention and removal from the country. Neither agency responded to requests for comment.

However, ICE told a local media outlet that "several noncitizens attempted to flee the contracted bus."

The two people who confirmed the incident said law enforcement searched for the escapees and recaptured them.

That stay in Mexico thing doesn't look quite so bad now does it?

Why, no one else does.

What makes Haitians so special as compared to illegals from South or Central American, or even Mexico that they need to be immediately deported? Hint, all illegals should be immediately deported; but seems Joe loves Latinos and hates Haitians. Guess they are not "black" enough for his liking.

Joe still doesn't have an answer to the border; and the Democrats don't plan on finding one. Amnesty is not an answer; it will just create a much larger problem.

As for the Haitians that have decided they don't like being treated like second class illegal immigrants- welcome to the USA. Next time don't allow yourselves to get caught. Once you make it a few hundred miles from the border you are golden. Democrats want to defund ICE and are abusing the BP; so just stay clear. Visit CA; they are always looking for more homeless- and the have several sanctuary cities. Maybe the hard liberal Dems can protect you from Biden.

Not sure, but it could be that lack of formal education might be a factor.

Education in Haiti - Wikipedia The  Haitian Educational System  yields the lowest total rate in the education realm of the Western Hemisphere. [3]  Haiti's  literacy rate  of about 61% (64.3% for males and 57.3% for females) is below the 90% average literacy rate for Latin American and Caribbean countries. [1]  The country faces shortages in educational supplies and qualified  teachers . The rural population is less educated than the urban. [3]  The  2010 Haiti earthquake  exacerbated the already constrained parameters on Haiti's educational system by destroying infrastructure and displacing 50–90% of the students, depending on locale.

and language barriers ...

Haiti - Wikipedia The two official languages of Haiti are  French  and  Haitian Creole . French is the principal written and administratively authorized language (as well as the main language of the press) and is spoken by 42% of Haitians. [350] [351]  It is spoken by all educated Haitians, is the medium of instruction in most schools, and is used in the business sector. It is also used in ceremonial events such as weddings, graduations and church Masses. Haiti is one of two independent nations in the Americas (along with Canada) to designate French as an  official language .

and possibly religious discrimination...

Haiti - Wikipedia Vodou , a religion with West African roots similar to those of  Cuba  and  Brazil , is practiced by some Haitians today. It originated during colonial times in which slaves were obliged to disguise their  loa  (lwa), or spirits, as  Catholic  saints, an element of a process called  syncretism . Due to the religious syncretism between Catholicism and Vodou, it is difficult to estimate the number of Vodouists in Haiti. [347] [348]  The religion has historically been persecuted and misrepresented in popular media; nevertheless, in 2003 the Haitian government recognized the faith as an official religion of the nation. [19]

and maybe there have been issues with integrating into US society in the past....

Haiti - Wikipedia There are an estimated 881,500 Haitians in the United States, [328]  800,000 in the Dominican Republic, [329]  300,000 in Cuba, [330]  100,000 in Canada, [331]  80,000 in France, [332]  and up to 80,000 in the Bahamas. [333]  There are also smaller Haitian communities in many other countries, including  Chile ,  Switzerland ,  Japan  and  Australia .

or maybe US interests in Haiti need to maintain a larger supply of underpaid workers than would be possible if we allowed Haitians to immigrate and earn over $100 a day instead of struggling to survive on $2.41 a day.  If US businesses are allowed to exploit Haitians, then US business are a major part of the reasons that Haitians are fleeing their country trying to survive.

U.S. Relations With Haiti - United States Department of State

The United States is Haiti’s largest trading partner. A number of U.S. firms maintain operations in Haiti, including commercial banks, airlines, oil and agribusiness companies, and U.S.-owned assembly plants. Opportunities for U.S. businesses in Haiti include: light manufacturing, in particular textile and clothing production; the development and trade of raw and processed agricultural products; medical supplies and equipment; building and modernizing Haiti’s infrastructure; developing tourism and allied sectors such as arts and crafts; business process outsourcing; and improving capacity in waste disposal, transportation, energy, telecommunications, and export assembly operations.

Grinding poverty remains a challenge for the Haitian people, the government, and the international donor community. Three-quarters of the population lives on approximately $2.41 per day; the poorest live in extreme poverty, surviving on only $1.23 per day. Remittances to Haiti amount to over $2.5 billion per year, equivalent to nearly one-third of GDP in 2018; however, a large percentage of these funds are used for consumption of imported goods and basic household support (e.g., education, health, nutrition). Meaningful poverty reduction in Haiti will depend on job creation through economic activity and foreign investment. Toward that end, the United States promotes needed reforms in Haiti to make it easier and more predictable for businesses to operate and to create the kind of stable environment needed for investors.

Most likely, we will never be told the reason(s) Haitians are being fast tracked out of the US as fast as humanly possible.

It's okay. Can't in any way interfere with their ability to enter the country or we committing human rights violations per democrats. Can  the border patrol ask really nicely for them to stop, or will Psaki be horrified by that too?

So a bus was going to deport people, they escape and all you can do is try to find a way to blame Dems...

Hell I thought you all would be happy they were being deported yet, no.

You all act like this is some kind of new thing. Uh huh. The border has had problems for a century.

Sometimes I think no one wants to do anything about it as it would not give some people talking points.

I know, we are all overwhelmed at the bills the republicans have put forth in congress....

Seems you aren't looking at the numbers. Nothing like this has happened before, not even close. This is a fuck up beyond all fuck ups. 

In August, for the first time since Joe Biden took office, border crossings did not go up. The brutally hot weather in the Southwest might have deterred a few illegals from attempting to cross the border, but there were still 208,000 people arrested trying to enter the U.S. illegally.

That number is slightly down from July’s record 212,000 attempted border crossings, but still close to the record number of crossings from 21 years ago.

These are not “normal seasonal patterns,” as Joe Biden claimed the massive increase in attempts at border crossings to be. They are the result of Biden administration policies that have given millions of Central Americans hope that they will be welcomed into the United States if they make the journey.

Title 42 is being used less frequently to immediately deport illegal aliens from the border.

And the rest? They were released into the U.S., many never to be seen again. It’s just as bad with family units. There were 86,487 family unit members detained in August; just 19 percent were sent back under Title 42.

Title 42 does not apply to illegal alien minors, 18,800 of whom were stopped at the border. Biden’s HHS will have to find sponsors for those unaccompanied minors. Will the kids be safe or will they be given to child traffickers or gang members? The government doesn’t know.

Ohio Senator Rob Portman, the top-ranking Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, has a few questions for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

The president still won’t admit his welcoming rhetoric at the start of his presidency that repudiated Donald Trump’s very effective border security measures had nothing to do with the massive influx of illegals. He can continue to insist on that fiction because the vast majority of the media refuses to cover this story as the humanitarian and security situation at the border continues to deteriorate.

Biden supporters in the open-borders community are agitating for the president to lift the Title 42 restrictions that allow border patrol to immediately deport at least some illegals who cross the border. Once that happens, it will be hard to ignore the crush of humanity clamoring to get into the United States.

Open borders and amnesty are not immigration policies; they are recipes for what is occurring now. Democrats own this disaster, and more illegals are on the way. The largest super spreader event in the world will not end so long as Democrats are in charge.

So you look for websites that adhere to your views?

Overall, we rate PJ Media to be Questionable based on extreme right-wing bias, promotion of propaganda and conspiracies, as well as numerous failed fact checks.

Anyone that says 'open borders' actually has no content. That is nothing but a made up meme.

You are assuming that they will be caught. Once a few hundred miles within the US proper the chances of being caught and deported drop dramatically. Seems that Biden is following in Obama's footsteps on that one.

Not as much as the never ending stream of illegals crossing our southern border will. Seems another band of Haitians are coming up from South America- undeterred by Biden and Harris lip service.

How long do you figure it will be before there are more illegal immigrants populating America than actual legal citizens?  There are some who feel that the only REAL Americans are Native Americans, and all the rest are immigrants, colonists and descendants of same.
