Lesson Topic
Haitian Migrant Crisis Along the Texas Border
Lesson Outline
The Biden administration continued to face questions today about its handling a surge of Haitian migrants crossing the Texas border, even after temporarily suspending horse patrols in the area. Images of horseback patrols pursuing Haitians spread earlier this week, drawing outrage from the public, Congress and the White House. Both the Department of Homeland Security and White House confirmed those patrols had been stopped for the time being. DHS officials said about 7,000 migrants remained in Del Rio, Texas today. Migrants have been moved to other areas for processing, sent back to Haiti and, in some cases, turned back to Mexico. Vice President Kamala Harris called images of federal agents on horseback chasing down Haitian migrants “horrible.” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said the photos “troubled me profoundly.” White House press secretary Jen Psaki called them “obviously horrific.” President Biden hasn’t yet spoken on the images from Del Rio, Texas, where a surge of Haitian migrants crossed the border and set up a makeshift camp under a bridge. We discussed why there is such a large surge of Haitian people wanting to leave Haiti and enter the U.S.
