Beatty Issues Statement on Haitian Migrants	2021-09-20	2021	2021-09	Democrat	House	OH	Joyce Beatty	B001281	beatty.house.gov	beatty	https://beatty.house.gov/media-center/press-releases	scraper	WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, U.S. Congresswoman and Congressional Black Caucus Chair Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement on the influx of Haitian migrants: "I want to express my concern regarding reports of an urgent humanitarian crisis for tens of thousands of displaced Haitians at our Southern border. I want to be clear that we are a nation of humanity and rule of law. My heart aches for the people of Haiti, who are currently experiencing unimaginable political and economic upheaval. As we address the current surge of Haitian people, it is critical that we approach the situation focused on fairness and the safety of all involved. I will continue to fight to see that refugees are welcome in America, regardless of race or country of origin." Beatty continued, "I have contacted Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to request that he immediately travel to the border to assess the situation and ensure that humanitarian assistance, including lavatory facilities, food, and water, is being provided to those being processed, especially children. I have further requested that he provide a comprehensive briefing to the Congressional Black Caucus on the status of Haitian migrants and on whether alternatives exist for their relocation."	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-06T20:17:01Z
