EXCERPT:
CUELLAR: "Well I can understand why he did that on principle, but I can also understand that at least what I understand, there’s at least another 30,000 Haitians in Mexico right now. There is also another 30,000 in Colombia also. I understand there’s about 15,000 Haitians in Panama. So this surge of Haitians is not going to stop anytime soon. Are they coming directly from Haiti? No. Are they flying in from Chile and Brazil and other countries? Yes. And, again, it’s a very difficult situation. I’ve been telling the administration since -- the transition team, since December 11th of last year, that there are folks that are getting the impression that this border is going to be opened and they feel that they have an opportunity to come into the United States."
