To some, this scene in Del Rio, Texas, represents a broken immigration system that opportunistic migrants are taking advantage of. To others, it presents an opportunity for America to once again welcome people in need from around the world. From TPRNews:
On Saturday, less than five miles from the Del Rio International Bridge, a line of Haitians, Cubans and Brazlians, among others, formed outside a convenience store. Some carried a bag or two. Most had nothing. Children clung tightly to their parents.
But many more at the migrant encampment under the Del Rio International Bridge are in limbo, including the thousands of people fleeing Haiti. The island nation experienced massive upheaval over the summer following the assassination of the country's president and a devastating earthquake which killed more than 2,200 people.Migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. bathe in the Rio Grande river, which divides the border between Ciudad Acuna, Mexico and Del Rio, Texas, U.S.
The Biden administration is sending thousands of people from this encampment on planes back to their home countries.. The Trump administration enacted it at the start of the pandemic and began rapidly expelling migrants, claiming it would stop the spread of COVID-19 and Biden has continued it. Long said Biden’s message has been confusing, both trying to be more welcoming to migrants and continuing some of Trump’s hardline immigration policies.
