🤬🇭🇹😤 @we_are_haitianss . DEL RIO, Texas — A week after Haitian migrant Junior Desterville, 30, and his family had made it all the way from Chile to the burgeoning migrant camp here on the U.S. banks of the Rio Grande, the shaggy-haired mechanic set back out to the Mexican side early Sunday to buy food for his hungry wife and 4-year-old daughter, Nayalla. By noon, Desterville, dressed in a blue T-shirt and black shorts, had waded back north through the chest-high water to return successfully from Ciudad Acuña as Mexican police and Texas state troopers sought to block ongoing river crossings by hundreds of incoming migrants. Making his way past a crowd of hundreds and up dirt trails along the riverbank that reeked of human waste, he found his wife, Stephanie, in one of the scores of huts that migrants have built from the carrizo cane lining the waters. They have slept on the dirt inside the hut since making their way to this hot, chaotic camp of an estimated 14,000 migrants after a three-month slog, mainly by bus, through Chile, Central America and Mexico. Desterville said he can’t imagine returning to Haiti. “We don’t have a president or security,” he said, referring to the recent assassination of President Jovenel Moïse and devastating earthquake. “Let us get out of here,” said Stephanie, 24. “We’re hungry.” Source @latimes 📸 @gettyimages _____________________ WAH STAFF: @wensly7 __________________________________________________ FOLLOW Our Travel Agency’s Page 🛄 “ @wenstravelagency “ We Look Forward To Helping Your Dream Travel Experience Come True ✈️ __________________________________________________ 🇭🇹 🌴 This is Haiti 🇭🇹 🌴 🇭🇹We are Haitians 🇭🇹 #wah509 #wearehaitians #haiti #teamhaiti #ayiti #haitians #haïti #haitian #thisishaiti #proudhaitian #beautiful #team509 #nouseayisyen #HaitiExperienceIt #CaribbeanCulture #traveltohaiti #VisitHaiti #Caribbean #🇭🇹 #Paradise #🌴 #haitidiscovery #shareyourhaiti #Zoes #immigrants #migrants #haitianimmigrants (at Del Rio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDXZNkrDmY/?utm_medium=tumblr
