PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The U.S. has expelled some 2,000 migrants to Haiti this week via more than 17 flights, with several more scheduled in upcoming days. Staying in Haiti is not an option for many of them, who, like Jhon Celestin and his family, are planning to flee their country again as soon as they can. The migrants are not only returning to a country of more than 11 million inhabitants that depends greatly on people like them and their annual remittances, but Haiti is now more violent, more impoverished and more politically unstable than when they left.
