If only there was some way we could restrict the majority of the inflow until they could be properly processed. Some kind of barrier to entry.

Maybe we can build stands so that Americans can cheer everyone on while watching desperate, homeless people die from exposure on the opposite border of the Rio Grande. Process, house, and/or deport people, don't just delegate the problem to another government.

Have you read up on this wave of Haitians? Some lived in Chile, Panama, Brazil for ten or more years and sold the homes and businesses they owned there to make their way to the border. They are not refugees in way. They want to live where they want to live with absolute disregard for the rules off where they want to live.

Sorry, did I miss the part where I said "process, house, or deport?"

They've also hijacked several busses in escape attempts. No possible moral hazard in rewarding the gamble they have collectively taken.
Maybe make it clear that the laws will be enforced consistently and you end up with less suffering on the border.

I went on about my day, but I've thought about this. So, Haitian refugees, who have been established in houses and neighborhoods all over South America for at least a decade decided, together, enmass, that the US would be a cooler place to live, so they all decided, at the same time, to sell their houses, abandon their livelihood, and walk with whatever they could carry, and/or steal buses to travel thousands of miles through some of the most dangerous territory on Earth and take their shot at walking across a river into a country they know nothing about? THAT'S what's happening here? That's the whole story? They wanna live where they wanna live? That's preposterously stupid.

CIUDAD JUÁREZ, Mexico—The gathering of thousands of Haitians at the Texas-Mexico border this past week reflects a stark change in migration patterns to the U.S., driven by Covid-19.
A far broader mix of nationalities is turning up at the border than in the past. For decades, most crossers were Mexican men and, in recent years, families from the troubled Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, known as the Northern Triangle.
Suddenly Ecuadoreans, Brazilians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Haitians and Cubans are turning up by the hundreds of thousands, a trend that accelerated sharply in the past six months.
From October 2020 through August, nearly 300,000 migrants from countries other than Mexico and the Northern Triangle were encountered at the border, a fifth of all crossings. For all of fiscal 2020, when the pandemic slowed the flow of migrants, the figure was nearly 44,000, or 11% of crossings. In fiscal 2019, it was 77,000, or 9% of crossings; and the year before it was only 21,000, or 5%. As recently as 2007 such migrants represented less than 1%.
Among the fastest-growing groups are Haitians. From October of last year through this August, about 28,000 Haitians were arrested trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. That is six times the 4,400 arrested during the entire 2020 fiscal year that ended last September
