Remote Arizona crossing is the newest hot spot for Haitian migrants
2021-10-06
[HotAir] A little-known area outside of Yuma, Arizona is becoming a popular crossing spot for illegal Haitian migrants colonists. The remote area is referred to as The Gap because it is a break in the border fence close to the Morelos Dam. The break allows migrants colonists an easy crossing of the Colorado River from Los Algodones in Mexico. The Yuma sector is reporting that the crossings are relentless and happening twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

The number of illegal aliens is exploding and the Border Patrol facilities are overwhelmed. While we’ve been focused on areas like Del Rio, Texas, for obvious reasons, other hot spots are popping up. So far, there has been a 2,399.6% spike in arrivals compared to this time last year, with up to 900 people crossing each day. They are not just Haitians but also from Colombia and Honduras. Word has been spread that The Gap is the place to go for easy entry.

In August, the most recent month for which figures are available, 17,000 crossed into Yuma compared to just 694 for the same time in 2020.

As a result, Border Patrol facilities are overwhelmed: even the tented overflow camp built in April and designed to hold 500 people is stuffed with 1,300 inmates.

Vincent Dulesky of Border Patrol Yuma Station said many of the arrivals come from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador but added they are seeing increasing numbers of Haitians — who made up the majority of new arrivals when DailyMail.com visited.

Known to Haitians as ’le Trou’, the migrants colonists told DailyMail.com that word has spread that The Gap is an easy place to cross.

’We had heard of The Gap and people said this is the place to come,’ Wendell Fify, 17, said before he was bundled into a Border Patrol van.

He added: ’It’s a gap in the fence so we came here. I came to the US because my family are here — my mom and dad. I was in Brazil before. I want to have a life here and work.’

That teenager traveled with a family of Haitians. They had been living in Chile but heard about The Gap and decided to come. They came up through Mexico. Many of the Haitians illegally seeking admittance to the U.S. are coming from South America and Central America, not directly from Haiti. Panama’s foreign minister sounded the alarm recently in Washington, D.C. to the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
but he said his warning fell on deaf ears. Shocker, I know.

This comes as Panama’s foreign minister warned that another wave of some 60,000 migrants colonists, mostly Haitian nationals, is now headed toward the southern US border.

Foreign Minister Erika Mouynes expressed exasperation during a visit to Washington DC this week, saying that Panama has been warning the Biden administration for months about the recent surge in irregular migration.

’We sounded the alarm when we should have,’ Mouynes told Axios. ’We’ve engaged with every single authority that we can think of, that we can come across, to say, ’Please, let’s pay attention to this."

Some of the illegal aliens are crossing further east in the Cabreza Pieta National Wildlife Refuge. One news hound witnessed a group of 10 — 20 people coming across every half hour.

#1  10-20 per hour = roughly 100,000 per year --- through one hole in the fence in AZ.

F--- this nonsense. Why do we allow this?

When will we halt this invasion and take our country back?
