So how did 15,000 Haitians suddenly find their way to Del Rio, Texas?
2021-09-20
[AMERICANTHINKER] The Center for Immigration Studies, sent a senior researcher named Todd Bensman ask those questions on the ground, going to the immigrants colonists themselves, and he came up with a doozy of an answer:The surprising answer, which the migrants colonists provided independently in different places and at different times, was universal: on Sunday, September 12, the Mexican government effectively sent a mass of migrants colonists it had bottled up for months in its southern states up to the American border. This move, which appears to have been done under the cover of Mexico's independence week of celebration known as El Grito, essentially foisted a humanitarian problem onto the Americans in a single week.

Mexico was the one who did it. Turns out Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us...
promised them some things and based on the available information, apparently never delivered. Mexico's response to that was comparable to that of the underpaid wedding photographer who deleted a camera full of wedding photos after the callous client denied her a bathroom or meal break after a multi-hour shift. They had been penning up thousands of illegal Haitian migrants colonists on their southern border in the town of Tapachula from entering the U.S. and opened the floodgates, all to teach Joe Biden a lesson about messing with them.

So much for Joe Biden vaunted 'diplomacy is back' claim -- he can't even manage the U.S. Diplomacy 101 task of managing relations with our nearest neighbor, Mexico. Biden had been touted in the press for his supposed foreign policy expertise but he's beyond incompetent of this, managing to severely alienate both La Belle France and Mexico, and sure enough, Mexico has already bit back.

As for why they all chose to head for Del Rio, Bensman found the answer to that, too - migrants colonists were told that cartels did not hold sway over that crossing as they did at other illegal crossings, and so, migrants colonists could get across without paying 'fees' to the cartels for the privilege of entering the U.S. illegally. And it certainly helped matters for them that Joe Biden halted the border wall.

#10  I suspect Biden wants to keep the Haitians out for the same reason the Cubans are. Clinton Foundation royally screwed Haiti and I suspect they are unlikely to vote Democrat. hopefully they're talking to the Spanish speakers at the border about the joys of the Democrat corruption.

#6  Hurricane Grace sucked them up and dropped them in Mexico. (Auntie Em, Auntie Em, It's a BIG twister!)
It's as plausible as any answer you'll get from the government.

#5  Bobby, Yon did write about Haitians, one family in much detail.

#4  But the 'don't mess with Messico' angle might explain why Joe wants them all expelled.

#3  Michael Yon was reporting months ago that people from all over the world were coming through South America, thru Panama, to our southern border. I don't remember seeing Haitians in his articles.

#1  Ummm... They received a letter from a Nigerian Prince and lawyer saying former President Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier had left them $1.74 Million Dollars each, and to claim it, they had to be in his Houston legal office by 12 o'clock on 20 September 2021.
