Haitian migrants try to get into U.S. via southern border
16 photos
Several thousand Haitians have traveled to Tijuana in recent months, overflowing migrant shelters and often sleeping outside next to their backpacks on sheets of cardboard, many after traveling 7,000 miles (11,000 kilometers) by foot, taxi and bus from Brazil through eight nations to the threshold of the United States.
In this Oct. 3, 2016 photo,
Haitians line up at an immigration agency in Tijuana, Mexico with
the hope of gaining an appointment to cross to the U.S. side of the border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection can only handle up to about 75
people a day at San Ysidro, and Tijuana authorities were unhappy about
large crowds assembled on the Mexican side of the border crossing
