MIAMI | U.S. authorities are readying for an influx of Haitians seeking to escape their earthquake-racked nation, even though the policy for migrants remains the same: With few exceptions, they will go back.
Fears of a mass migration have not materialized so far, but conditions in Haiti become more dire each day and U.S. officials don't want to be caught off guard. Between 250 and 400 immigration detainees are being moved from South Florida's main detention center to clear space for any Haitians who manage to reach U.S. shores, according to the Homeland Security Department. U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, could house migrants temporarily — far from the terrorist suspects also being held there — and a Catholic church is working on a plan to accept Haitian orphans.
