Why it matters: The worst may still be coming. Mouynes said there are as many as 60,000 migrants mostly Haitian poised to make their way north to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Panama is expecting more migrants to cross through the dangerous jungles of the Darién Gap this month than in all of 2019 nearly 27,000, according to Panamanian government estimates provided to Axios.
Mouynes is calling on the U.S. to help enforce a plan coordinated with countries in the region, saying, ultimately, "Let's recognize that they all are heading toward the U.S."
The foreign minister wrapped up meetings Monday and Tuesday in Washington with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and members of Congress, among others.

Media needs to look into why all these Haitians living in central and south America woke up one day and decided to come to the USA.

one would it think it was well-organized, and well-funded. Kind of like human trafficking on a really big scale.
