About 10,000 migrants -- including families, pregnant women and babies -- were waiting to be processed by US immigration authorities, according to Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano. The number of migrants -- many of them Haitian -- assembled in the temporary site swelled from roughly 400 a week ago. At times, the number has topped 14,000.

The migrants sleep in tents or in the dirt, surrounded by growing piles of garbage, and they wait in hopes of being processed by the overwhelmed US Border Patrol. Few wear masks, despite the Covid-19 pandemic,US Border Patrol agents on horseback try to stop Haitian migrants on Sunday from entering an encampment on the banks of the Rio Grande near the Acuna Del Rio International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
This is a very informative piece. I thought that it was extremely eye opening and it's hard to believe that these people are surviving in such harsh climates while we sit here and just talk about it. I think that there should be better organization in this process and more of a chance to get parents and their families to a better place.
