Blinken warns Haitian migrants against "profoundly dangerous" journey to U.S.

• Blinken met with officials in Mexico to unveil a joint security plan and forge connections with the bordering country amid an influx of Haitian migrants passing through Mexico to the U.S.
• Blinken said U.S. and Mexican officials are in "close contact" over the surge of Haitian migrants at the border.
• Mexico Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard said many Haitian migrants who traveled from South America to the border had been misled into thinking they could obtain legal residency in the U.S., per Reuters.
• "If 15,000 people come from Haiti, they want to work, they want to be here, it's not a problem for Mexico," Ebrard said.

The big picture: Blinken's meeting with Mexican officials comes after thousands of Haitian migrants sought refuge in Del Rio, Texas — many of whom were fleeing extreme poverty, disaster and political unrest.
