After daring voyage to U.S., Haitians' dreams end in deportation

By Makini Brice PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - John Stevens Val borrowed $3,000 (£2,402) from friends and family and trekked through 10 countries to make his way to the United States, where he hoped life would be better than in Haiti, his impoverished homeland. More Haitians arrived late last year, with more than 7,000 crossing the border between October and December alone, creating a backlog that will take months for the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump to clear.
