Arrests of Haitian migrants at America\u2019s southern border plummeted from 17,600 in September to 1,000 in November<\/a>. Whether that\u2019s an enduring trend or a temporary lull will depend largely on the Biden administration and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of the summer surge at Del Rio, Texas, the U.S.\u00a0flew 7,915 Haitians<\/a> back to their country. The airlifts, along with the resumption of the Remain in Mexico<\/a> program, may deter more migrants from coming.\u00a0The administration\u2019s resolve, and the extent of Mexico’s cooperation, will be tested soon enough as thousands more northbound Haitians weigh their next move<\/a> from the southern Mexico city of Tapachula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico\u2019s National Institute\nof Immigration (INM) announced this month that free bus service would transport\nsome migrants to other parts of the country \u201cwhere they can regularize their\nmigration status.\u201d INM said it would not \u201ctransfer them to the border with the\nUnited States,\u201d but the agency declined to say exactly where the buses are\ngoing or how many people will be moved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, Haitian asylum claims in Mexico soared to 47,494, a seven-fold increase from 2020. With additional traffic on the way as tens of thousands more are reported transiting through Panama<\/a>, Mexico City should follow Washington\u2019s example and step up deportation flights. Through October, Mexico had returned only 248 Haitians to their country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the U.S., \u201cIt is questionable, at best, that any of the Haitian migrants who [previously]resettled in Brazil and Chile have valid asylum claims. When the odds of getting in[to the U.S.]dropped, and the odds of being returned to Haiti rose, they decided not to come,\u201d notes Andrew Arthur<\/a> of the Center for Immigration Studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[President Joe] Biden can\u2019t\nafford many more scenes like the ones that played out in Del Rio in September,\u201d\nArthur opines, and the most effective way to stanch mass illegal immigration is\nto stop accepting and incentivizing it. If the White House learns anything from\nthese episodes it\u2019s that enforcement works.#<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
