Haitians seeking US refuge will be returned

None

US authorities are readying for a potential influx of Haitians seeking to escape their earthquake-wracked nation, even though the policy for migrants remains the same: with few exceptions, they will go back.

 

So far, fears of a mass migration have yet to materialize. However, conditions in Haiti become more dire each day and US officials don't want to be caught off guard. Between 250 and 400 immigration detainees are being moved from South Florida's main detention center to clear space for any Haitians who manage to reach US shores, according to the Homeland Security Department.
