Expelled from Texas, returned Haitians lament lost American dream

authorities flew them out of a Texas border city on Sunday where thousands of mostly Haitians had gathered under a bridge after crossing the Rio Grande river from Mexico, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti September 19, 2021.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Sept 19 (Reuters) - More than 300 Haitians were returned home on Sunday after the United States ejected them from Texas, leaving many of the would-be migrants demoralized and angry that their search for a better life far away from their impoverished country was over.

border agents began removing groups of mostly Haitian migrants over the weekend from a large makeshift camp they had set up after wading across the Rio Grande separating Mexico and the U.S.

At the Haitian capital's airport, three flights with 327 returned Haitians landed on Sunday from Texas, according to a U.S.

In a video message released Sunday evening, Prime Minister Ariel Henry pledged to assist the expelled Haitians and bemoaned the "disturbing" images from the camp.
