The question not being asked is how the Haitians got to the Texas border. They damn sure didn’t swim.

My understanding is that many of them came from Chile.

I read that many of them left Haiti for South and Central America in 2010 after that earthquake, but economic conditions have worsened in those places. Also heard the cartels were bussing them to the Texas border.
