Options Shrink for Haitian Migrants Straddling Texas Border
[AnNahar] The options remaining for thousands of Haitian migrants colonists straddling the Mexico-Texas border are narrowing as the United States government ramps up to an expected six expulsion flights to Haiti Tuesday and Mexico began busing some away from the border.
More than 6,000 Haitians and other migrants colonists had been removed from an encampment at Del Rio, Texas, U.S. officials said Monday as they defended a strong response that included immediately expelling migrants colonists to their impoverished Caribbean country and faced criticism for using horse patrols to stop them from entering the town.
But only a portion of those removed were actually sent back to Haiti, the rest apparently being sent elsewhere in the U.S. to be processed. That was enough for some Haitian migrants colonists to return to Mexico, while others struggled to decide on which side of the border to take their chances.
