God help us
Del Rio Texas is 2,000 miles away from Haiti, separated by ocean. Any journalist who is not questioning who coordinated such a massive operation has failed us.
@rob S Isn’t that a part of the Atlantic Ocean?
@Shane H. Its in the Atlantic basin. But to get to Central America or Mexico you have to go through the Gulf of Mexico. That is really a sea. But its not important anyway.
@rob S Whatever you wanna call it , it’s a huge body of water , probably a large swimming pool🤓 that you just can’t walk across. So, Mr geography teacher, just try and focus on Ryan’s comment for a second, will ya? Good boy, here’s a lollipop 🍭
@Kenny Gee love your live concerts.
@rob S Glad to hear that and hope you enjoyed the lollipop 🍭 too. Now, back to the main topic of how so many Haitians got this far…..
Democrats are a blight on America. A total failure.
Really now. The “rumor” that Biden was not turning away everyone at the boarder, combined with Haiti economical collapse created a perfect storm. So you are blaming Biden and Democrats for a situation that was created by the ending of Trump’s “Zero-Tolerance” immigration policy. Not to mention you are saying nothing of the thousands of parents who lost their children forever thanks to poor record keeping, the several thousand deaths that Trump’s overcrowded ICE detention camps had, or the financial and logistical burdens of housing them.
If Democrats was a total failure they wouldn’t have won the White House the Senate and the House so apparently the Republicans are the losers because they lost all three of those
@Jimmie E — At what point do we stop calling each other names, and return to being friends, family, neighbors and coworkers? This is a thoroughly messed up situation, it is a big mess, and not the fault of any one party. IMHO the big issue here is the Collapse of Haiti.
The US goes from having the most secure borders to the Biden administration borders
@splendid HONEY I’m HOME!! 😀
@Xhade Brinsbane oh im glad your home
@Xhade Brinsbane and if your wondering my IQ is 121 🙂
@Xhade Brinsbane your insults dont work on me 😀
@Xhade Brinsbane do me a favor and go back to pre-k
Deport
they didn’t get the memo that entry point is closed (or supposed to be)
Call it what it is trespassing. Which is a crime send them back sorry. If I squatted on Joe biden’s home estate he damn sure throw me out and have me arrested most likely just the way it is
Eh, the politicians have had decades to fix the immigration process and haven’t. If they don’t care, why should I?
The consequences of an incompetent Biden administration
Trumps 1000x times worst and I’m a republican
@Cdhugh Hgjbno we didn’t have this issue when he was here
@Cdhugh Hgjbno JoJo is a total failure, installed to finish our country off, a 47 year career worthless politcion. And I’m a democrat
@Cdhugh Hgjbno you sound dumb lol. Our country was thriving under trump
@Cheddy Do it thriving? You mean divided.
The problem with liberal policies is, someone else always has to pay for it.
Someone being MY TAXES🤮
Not this time,they will pay as well
Homeland Security made a statement that the border is closed. I guess they missed it during their travels.
Most likely because dementia Joe & Kackalot have opened the southern border to anyone with no ID & covid for the last nine months🤮
These people are victims of the Biden administration. He promised in campaign that he would allow this, you can look for it, it is on video and the human traffickers are using Biden’s own words to lure people.
They lie , I live in Texas illegal crossing happens every day every minutes . Biden wanted this , that is why they stop building the wall . Believe me cites by border are full of crime now , they don’t leave home without guns . Democrats might gained new voters but they lost all of democrats at the border cities . Cartel freely frequently passes out border and traffic’s human and drugs . Biden administration are evil . 🤬😤
Wide open and they know it
The pandemic is only for the suckers
Soon to be in a city near you. Brought to you by lying biden and heels up Harris.
And yet…I don’t care
“We dont have a choice”
How many countries did they travel through to get to our border? Some people in the USA actually retire below the border.
On one had we are being told how racist we are… on the other hand, those same races are dying to get in. Literally lol.
@Robin Dickinson learn how to not get offended so easily
@Robin Dickinson if you speak up/defend for your “people” why haven’t you ever send money to them? All you ppl are HYPOCRITES at the end of the day, speaking up for them won’t solve anything
@Eva Rodriguez I give money to people around me every day no matter the color. I’m make decent money now but with inflation I just get by. Still I give. If I have you have. You talking to the wrong person.
@Robin Dickinson send money to Cuba and Haiti no que eres muy chingona, eres puro oseco
@Eva Rodriguez As far as me speaking up for them. Dialogue is the beginning. When I see a sea of hate for people in trouble, yes. I’m going to speak up for them. Even if for my own sake. I won’t trivialize their pain. That would be insane. Also, many of the Latinos I know are quickly offended.
Get them out of Texas!
To Arizona?
Would you rather they go to California?
I WOULD *NEVER* LIVE IN TEXAS people are crazy there
Somehow this is a travel agency’s fault. I want to know which one tried to sell this as a “Destination vacation”. It ain’t like Haiti and Mexico share a border
@butchdeadlift10 exactly! The “who” is really intriguing me because Haiti is nowhere near Mexico.Who bought their plan tickets? Who guided them to that border? How long have they been there for? So many questions
@Jennah G “who bought the plain tickets” is never as important as “who is sellling them”.
I trust in societal entropy and economic scavengers to influence events like this, not some orchestrated puppet master out of a comic book.
A quick buck and an “open season” sign is all any social disaster needs.
You guys need to go to Tijuana; there’s a Haitian district there now. It’s bizarre.
I’m originally from Italy; can confirm that German, Dutch, and Belgian flag-bearing boats carry migrants (young, single men with iPhones, mainly) to ports in Lampedusa (small Sicilian island near Africa) and even as far up as the Tyrrhenian coasts. These ships are not obeying international laws concerning the transport of these people, and just dump them in Italy or Greece and say “Good luck getting to London!”.
I can’t speak on the circumstances which these people left, although evidence points to the vast majority of them being merely economic migrants; there’s a notable number of Sinhalese, Ghanaians, Nigerians, and Burkina migrants that make it to Sicily, only to haphazardly ricochet across Europe and bottleneck into some border adjacent a nation with easier welfare access.
@Sergpie So it is a cottage industry of “Lets agravate international relations”? Sounds like if the UN was designed on Kickstarter
@Sergpie Those boats who bear western countries flags are operated by who? Own by who? So many questions
Sorry, bro, to ‘Haitian Migrants’: Like Ivan Drago, a la Rocky 4, “YOU WILL LOSE.”
They must be Bandido‘s they’re wearing masks🤦

It should be a requirement to learn English and get paperwork like law abiding humans do before coming here
That and learning civics.
Poor people think about what they can buy with their money, Rich people think about what they can invest in with their money
