Panama Alerts US About Another Haitian Migrant Wave: ‘We sounded the alarm when we should have’
Panama’s Foreign Minister Erika Mouynes alerted the U.S. about another massive wave of Haitian migrants headed to the U.S., saying, “We sounded the alarm when we should have.”
It’s estimated thousands of mostly Haitian migrants are heading to the U.S.-Mexico southern border.
Mouynes appeared frustrated that the warnings from Panama are being ignored by the Biden administration.
Daily Mail reports:
“We sounded the alarm when we should have,’ Mouynes told Axios. ‘We’ve engaged with every single authority that we can think of, that we can come across, to say, “Please, let’s pay attention to this.”
Mouynes also said over 85,000 Haitians made their way through Panama earlier this year.
New York Post reports Mouynes’ government alerted the Biden administration in advance of the flood of illegal Haitian migrants in Del Rio, Texas.
Erika Mouynes claimed in an interview with Axios that her government had notified the White House of the most recent migration surge, which culminated in more than 15,000 people gathering under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas and waiting to be picked up by border authorities earlier this month.
News outlets reported on the expected massive wave of illegal Haitian migrants heading to the southern border.

Biden was put on notice about the waves of Haitian migrants heading to the U.S. and he is not acting to stop them.
In fact, by allowing the majority of Haitian migrants that entered Del Rio, Texas illegally to stay in the U.S., Biden is sending an open borders message to the world.
Biden’s failure to address the crisis at the border is both a public health and national security risk and provides additional evidence he is failing at his job to protect Americans.
