A temporary camp of more than 9,000 migrants sheltering under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas has become the latest symbol of the burgeoning humanitarian crisis at the border. During a summer in which unauthorized border crossings have increased to a level “not seen in more than two decades,” the New York Times reports the “temporary camp has grown with staggering speed in recent days, from just a few hundred people earlier in the week.” Now, thousands of migrants, mostly from Haiti, who have crossed but must wait for processing, endure triple-digit temperatures, “no running water,” and access to only 22 portable toilets. Haitian community groups are in “utter disbelief” at Biden’s policy.
