Climate Migration: How Tijuana's Haitian Community Was Born
After a devastating earthquake and destructive hurricanes in Haiti, people began migrating to South America, and eventually toward the United States to find work to support their family back home. In this segment of "Earth Focus" we examine the factors leading to a new Haitian community growing in the U.S.-Mexico border town of Tijuana. See how Haitians are adapting to a new culture while Tijuana adapts to an influx of climate migrants.
