Border patrol's outrageous treatment of migrants

A human-rights catastrophe has taken shape on the border in Texas -- and it has happened on the Biden administration's watch. Monday, the nation saw horrifying images of Border Patrol officials appearing to chase and confront asylum seekers, who were largely Haitian, near the international bridge between Coahuila, Mexico, and Del Rio, Texas.

The video appears to show abusive treatment by agents on horseback trying to corral terrified migrants. As CNN reported: "In one video by Al Jazeera English that circulated widely on social media, an agent yells, 'This is why your country's sh*t, because you use your women for this!" at a group emerging from the river. His horse charges, attempting to cut off a family's path to the camp, as a young girl in a green dress jumps out of the way.'"

The White House will be hard-pressed to explain or defend such treatment of human beings whose only offense was to seek refuge in America, as so many have done, after fleeing a country torn by political violence and natural disasters.

Joe Biden's administration is making things worse by refusing to process these asylum seekers, instead herding hundreds of them onto planes and back into harm's way in Haiti.
