Vacation hot spot used as 'springboard' for illegal immigrants: expert
Fox News
An expert discussed illegal immigration from the Bahamas to Florida and how migrants from China, El Salvador, and other countries use the island nation as a "springboard" into the U.S.
Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a U.S. Writer at Fox News Digital.
"Normally, when we think of maritime migration, we think about Haiti or Cuba, maybe the Dominican Republic, but the unknown in that equation is the Bahamas," he said. Sarah joined FOX in 2021, where she has assisted on coverage of breaking and major news events across the US and around the world, including the fallout following the "Defund the police" movement, the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump's life and illegal immigration.
"The Bahamas presents a special case, not so much because Bahamians want to get to the U.S., although a few do, but because the Bahamas ends up being a springboard for others who want to reach the U.S." She has experience reporting on topics including crime, politics, business, lifestyle, world news and more.
