I've been picking up too many followers lately, so let me tell you how I'd solve the 14,000 (!) mostly Haitian migrants huddling under a bridge in Del Rio, TX trying to get into the USA.

If I were Biden I would fly down to Del Rio and give a speech in French on loudspeakers (later uploaded to youtube) saying that:
- no one is getting in
- no humanitarian aid (food water etc) will be given
- if you trash in the river you're getting hit with rubber bullets

Biden's current plan is to fly the migrants back to Haiti on the USA's dime.
Why?
That's like saying "don't make it into the US illegally, get a free ride back home" so it incents this behavior, plus it makes it easy for Mexico.
This is a Mexican problem.

Haitians don't magically appear in Mexico. They get there because Mexico didn't do a good enough job on border control.
So let them deal with it.
Yeah it's sad, I respect these Haitians for wanting a better life, but life isn't fair and we have to take care of our own.

Ps I’ve been to the American-Mexican border (not just border crossing but like the country parts you’re not supposed to go because it’s dangerous so I’m told).
It is really easy to cross.
