Like many deportees arriving on constitution flights on the airport in Port-au-Prince, quarter-hour from neighborhoods managed by brutal armed gangs, Bordes’s household left Haiti within the nice migration after the 2010 earthquake that killed greater than 200,000 folks. He was 12 once they left, first for the Dominican Republic, then on to Chile, the place he was dwelling along with his mom and brother when the coronavirus pandemic hit. Inspired by family members in the USA, the household set out on a 4,500-mile trek to the U.S. border — by no means imagining the highway would lead again to the devastated nation they left greater than a decade in the past.
