WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 09th October, 2021) The United States is in close touch with its Mexican counterparts regarding the issue of illegal migration from Haiti, US Secretary of State Antony Antony Blinken said on Friday.

"We are in very close daily contact with our colleagues in Mexico on the question of irregular Haitian migration, some of which is coming from Haiti itself and some of which is coming from other countries in our hemisphere where Haitians have resided for some time and now seek to come to the United States," Blinken said.
