EXCLUSIVE: 2K Hatian, Venezuelan Migrants Cross Border into West Texas this WeekRandy Clark 4 Sep 2021
More than 2,000 mostly Haitian and Venezuelan migrants crossed the Rio Grande at Del Rio, Texas, during the past week. Several hundred migrants remain at the river’s edge awaiting transport and processing due to logistical problems plaguing the Border Patrol.
The flow of more than 2,000 such migrants in a week is such that the Border Patrol cannot keep up with the detention space required to detain the large groups at temporary detention and processing facilities in the area, according to a source with CBP who spoke with Breitbart Texas under the condition of anonimity. It is not uncommon for outdoor space to be used for detention due to the increase in migrant crossings in the area, Breitbart reported.
Mexico previously attempted to hold back the Haitian, Cuban, and Venezuelan migrants in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. As reported by Breitbart Texas, clashes resulted between the migrants and Mexican immigration authorities. The Mexican government is withholding immigration travel documents and requiring migrants to remain at the southern border with Guatemala while their refugee claims are processed.
Despite Mexico’s attempts to deter the migrants, hundreds are arriving almost daily in Ciudad Acuna, Mexico, just across from Del Rio, Texas. Immediately upon arriving, according to the source, the migrants quickly cross the river and surrender to Border Patrol agents.
