Biden Admin Says Borders Are Not Open, 14,000 Haitian Migrants Say Otherwise
by BOB PRICE 18 Sep 2021
The Biden Administration stated on Saturday that “our borders are not open.” The statement comes as the number of mostly Haitian migrants being detained after freely crossing the border from Mexico rose to more than 14,000.
“The Biden Administration has reiterated that our borders are not open, and people should not make the dangerous journey,” according to a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Saturday morning. The comments come as part of a six-point plan to “address the increase in migrants in Del Rio.”
The statement comes as Fox News journalist Bill Melugin tweeted a new video showing hundreds of mostly Haitian migrants pouring across the border that Biden officials say is not open.

BREAKING: I am absolutely stunned by what I’m witnessing right now. We are on a boat in the Rio Grande near the Del Rio international bridge and we are watching as masses of hundreds of migrants walk across the river from Mexico and stream into the US illegally. @FoxNews
