Haitian immigration crisis of 2021
[edit]Similar to the migrants attempting to enter the European Union, crossing Turkey or the Mediterranean, a caravan of migrants heading for the United States' southern border, has existed since at least 2010. A river of migrants, primarily Haitians, came up through Central America, across Mexico, and finally attempted to enter the United States at Del Rio, Texas; according to the migrant lore, crossing is easier there. They believed that U.S. entry for refugees would be easier under President Biden than it had been under President Trump The State Department began repatriation flights to Haiti, which many of the migrants had not seen in years and which had no attraction for them. Others were bused

Background
[edit]Biden's position on migrants
[edit]Opposition to immigration had been a key principle of former president Donald Trump.[1] Trump repeatedly said that illegal immigrants were criminals.[2][3]
President Joe Biden announced, even before taking office on January 20, 2021, that he would be undoing thsi policy of his predecessor,
Panama
[edit]"In 2019, Panamanian authorities counted almost 24,000 migrants, more than three times as many who had crossed in 2017."[4]
Biden
[edit]Among the issues on which Joe Biden campaigned for president was immigration reform. He said that he would introduce immigration reform legislation on his first day as president, to give undocumented immigrants the chance to become citizens and restore and expand programs for refugees and asylum seekers.[5]
The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, introduced in February 2021, would allow virtually all undocumented immigrants to eventually apply for citizenship; increase legal immigration; add measures to secure ports of entry and speed processing of asylum seekers; and invest $4 billion in the economies of Central American countries to reduce migration. Unlike previous efforts to overhaul immigration, the legislation does not include a large focus on increased border enforcement. Instead, the bill would add resources to process migrants legally at ports of entry and would invest $4 billion over four years in distressed economies in the hopes of preventing people from fleeing to the United States because of security and economic crises. Ms. Sánchez said the previous administration had been “fixated on vanity projects like the wall,” which did not address the root causes of illegal immigration [6]
The sheer volume of migrants quickly eroded support for this bill. The number of unaccompanied minor children detained tripled in February. 78,000 migrants were apprehended in January—double the number in January 2020. In February it was expected to be 100,000. Republicans signaled that they intended to use immigration policy as an issue in 2022.[7]

- The Crossing Experience: Unauthorized Migration along the Arizona-Sonora Border. https://repository.arizona.edu/handle/10150/293415 First, what factors explicate migrants' modes of crossing? Second, do coyote fees vary among people who rely on smuggling services to cross the border? If so, what accounts for this variation? Third, what factors shape encounters with bajadores while traversing the desert? The present analyses expand on previous studies examining the unauthorized crossing in multiple ways. For instance, I empirically test the role of a "culture of migration" in explaining modes of crossing, coyote fees, and bajador encounters. I also differentiate between two main types of coyotes: "border business" and "interior." I then examine whether crossing with a coyote mediates the risk of encountering bajadores during the journey. Overall, there are important differences in crossing modes and coyote fees. Women are more likely to travel with both coyote types, while the opposite is true for more experienced migrants. Older migrants and people who cross during summer months are less likely to travel with an "interior" coyote. The strongest predictor of higher smuggling fees is the region of a person's U.S. destination. Higher coyote fees are also associated with immigrants' higher educational attainment, being married, being the sole economic provider for one's household, and higher household income. More experienced migrants, and those crossing in larger groups or during the summer also pay higher fees, however fees do not vary by gender, age, or social capital. These findings are somewhat consistent with the extant literature on human capital and risk tolerance/aversion, but run counter to the vast migration literature emphasizing the importance of social capital in the migration process. Finally, the risk of encountering bajadores is not higher for males, young adults, the less educated, and the more impoverished, which contradicts extant findings in the victimology literature. With the exception of crossing corridor and time spent in the desert, no other factors increase the risk of encountering bandits more than traveling with a coyote. Implications and possible future research are discussed.

Since October, more than 47,000 children traveling without parents have been caught trying to cross the Southwest border, a 92 percent increase over the similar period a year earlier. Federal officials predicted that at least 60,000 minors will try to cross into the United States without their parents this fiscal year. But according to an interagency memo from a Border Patrol official, that number has been revised up to more than 90,000.

Migrants have sent word back home they received a "permit" to remain at least temporarily in the United States, feeding rumors along migrant routes and spurring others to embark on the long journey. Migrants here said they planned to attend their court hearings and fight for a chance to stay. But officials have no specific plan to monitor compliance, and based on the pace of the overburdened immigration courts, it seems highly unlikely that any of the migrants would be deported soon. border authorities, who must follow differing rules for unaccompanied minors; for migrants who are not from Mexico; and for women who have children or are pregnant. Since October more than 47,000 unaccompanied youths have been apprehended along the Southwest border, and border officials estimate that number may double by the end of this year. Smugglers have stoked the permit rumors, migrants and border agents said, since they profit from the traffic.

Homan credits Trump for empowering his more than 20,000 employees, arguing that tougher enforcement is necessary for public safety — that an immigrant in the U.S. illegally, even if that person is working and supporting a family, is flouting American laws. ICE conducted at least four in Kentucky under the Obama administration, which in its early years arrested far more people annually than the Trump administration so far. Obama officials later instructed ICE to prioritize arresting immigrants who had committed serious crimes, were considered national security threats, or had been ordered recently to leave the country for immigration violations. An executive order issued by Trump five days after he took office changed that. It effectively declared any immigrant in the U.S. illegally subject to arrest. Immigrants started to get apprehended at what they thought would be routine administrative check-ins or, like Perez and Tomas, by agents looking for someone else.

[edit]- 3/2021 MIND THE DARIEN GAP Ocasio, Christian Topics: Panama border, Colombia border, Darien Gap, transportation, infrastructure, Pan-American Highway, indigenous Publisher Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School This thesis has a geopolitical focus, establishing U.S. interests and indigenous protectionism as factors that explain why the Darien Gap remains undeveloped. An analysis of U.S. influence on the development of the Darien Gap establishes a correlation between U.S. interests and the progress of constructing the Pan-American Highway and railroad across time and space. Heightened U.S. interest was influenced by the presence of extra-hemispheric threat in the Western Hemisphere and the timing correlated with the construction’s progression and obstruction. The lack of extra-hemispheric threat caused the decline of U.S. support for the infrastructure projects that would have otherwise developed the Darien Gap and gave political space and maneuverability for Panamanian indigenous groups to exert their political pressure and prevent the development of the Darien Gap. The research uncovers the amount of political power the Panamanian indigenous groups have in preventing infrastructure developments. In the end, the thesis proves these two hypotheses to be true: U.S. interest in the region and the Panamanian indigenous communities’ political power have prevented the development of infrastructure in the Darien Gap. https://archive.org/details/mindthedariengap1094567159

Local leaders said they received reports from counterparts in Mexico that 20 additional buses full of migrants are headed in the direction of their city and expected to arrive in coming days. In Val Verde County, social media documents the coarsening rhetoric and misinformation-fueled antagonism against immigrants among county residents, who voted for President Donald Trump in 2020. His office is home to a tent processing center where more than 600 immigrants have been arrested on state trespassing charges and sent to a special state prison unit to await adjudication. When Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz, a Del Rio native, started his career, the sector averaged more than 30,000 encounters a year. His agents are coming across nearly as many migrants in a single month in 2021. And that was all before this latest influx of humanity arrived. Though the sojourn of people across the Rio Grande has long been a part of Del Rio's heritage, the volume of migrants and of the rhetoric surrounding the border, has pushed county residents uncomfortably into choosing sides. The immigration system has been broken for the last 40, 50 years and it's being used as a political football," Martinez told reporters.

Most of the passengers are not being sent back through the formal deportation process. They are being "expelled" from the United States under an emergency provision of the U.S. public health code known as Title 42. A federal judge ordered the Biden administration last week to stop using Title 42 to return family groups, but he stayed the order until the end of September. The Biden administration has appealed the ruling. Of the roughly 11,000 migrants who remained in the Del Rio camp, about 8,000 were part of family groups, according to one U.S. agent stationed at the site. We are very concerned that Haitians who are taking this irregular migration path are receiving false information that the border is open or that temporary protected status is available," he said, referring to protections the Biden administration extended to Haitians who were present in the United States before July 29. Mayorkas said the administration had sent 600 additional U.S. agents and other personnel to Del Rio to increase staffing and security, allowing authorities to increase the number of migrants they are transferring to other Border Patrol sectors for processing.

It was no longer the easy place to cross that it was just a few weeks ago. It is a population that relies little on smugglers and instead moves based on shared experience and information exchanged between the tight-knit community, often via WhatsApp or Facebook, about where it is safest, where jobs are most plentiful and where it is easiest to enter a country. Earlier this year, large numbers showed up in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to cross into El Paso, Texas. Haitians shifted over the summer to Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, across from Del Rio. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Monday that it was unusually sudden. It also corrects that Panama receives 2,500 to 3,000 migrants daily, not weekly.

On Tuesday, Mexico flew the first planeload of migrants from the border city of Piedras Negras — just downstream from Ciudad Acuña — to the southern city of Villahermosa. More flights were expected, including to Tapachula, near the Guatemala border. ...Bus lines were reminded not to sell tickets to migrants without proper documentation. On Monday, immigration agents in the northern city of Monterrey, a key transportation hub for travel to the border, detained about 100 migrants at the bus station who were then flown to Tapachula. In Monterrey, the number of Haitian migrants arriving at a local shelter had grown exponentially since Sunday. Some 1,500 Haitian migrants had arrived to the shelter since Sunday. The shelter, which has a capacity of 700, has expanded outside with tents for the overflow. (Some expelled) Mexico plans to begin direct flights to Haiti, which would initially target Haitian migrants already in Mexico's detention centers who have not applied for asylum. Those with open asylum cases would be flown or bused to Tapachula, according to a federal official who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Andres Ramírez, coordinator of the Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance, told Milenio television Wednesday that "we have had a quantity of people applying like never before in the history of Mexico."From January to August, the agency received more than 77,000 applications for asylum, already 10% above the previous record in 2019, he said. About 19,000 of those came from Haitians.

By July, a majority of migrants were being processed under Title 8, which allows them to request asylum. Although migrants processed under Title 8 may also face expedited deportation, most families with children were being released into the United States. The numbers suggest the improving success rate for entering the United States might have encouraged more migration. During the first seven months of the Biden administration, from February through August, 92 percent of Haitian migrants — or 24,707 people — were processed in ways that granted them access to asylum claims. That compares with 44 percent — or 1,641 people — during the last seven months of the Trump administration, when the majority were rapidly expelled under Title 42.

in the first nine months of this year, Panamanian officials say, an estimated 95,000 migrants, most of whom are Haitian, attempted the passage on their way to the United States. The thousands of Haitians who crossed the border into Texas last month, jolting the town of Del Rio and thrusting the Biden administration into a crisis, were just the leading edge of a much larger movement of migrants heading for the jungle and then the United States. People who had fled their troubled Caribbean nation for places as far south as Chile and Brazil began moving north months ago, hoping they would be welcomed by President Biden. The number of migrants who have made the journey so far this year is more than triple the previous annual record set in 2016.

almost 19,000 children have crossed the dangerous Darien Gap jungle between Colombia and Panama this year en route to the United States, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said Monday. That figure is "nearly three times more than the number registered over the five previous years combined," said UNICEF. The report said almost 20 percent of the migrants crossing the jungle are children, and half of those are below the age of five. At least five children have been found dead in the jungle in 2021, while more than 150, including newborn babies, have arrived in Panama without their parents, a near 20-time increase over 2020.

The number of children who crossed the jungle in 2021 is five times more than the four previous years combined. This grueling and extreme ten day crossing which can only be traversed on foot is one of the most dangerous migration routes in the world, with river crossings, dangerous wildlife, possible extortion and lack of drinkable water are the main threats facing migrant children.
