    Yup. About 5 flights a day for as long as it takes to get them back to Haiti. But, while they’re waiting they can’t buy food on the United States side for some reason so they just freely traffic back across the Rio into Mexico and buy food then come back the same way to the U.S.

    How are they sending them back? What mode of transportation?

    The headline says "fly" so I would assume that we're going to strap them onto the backs of geese who are migrating south.

    He can’t read the headline Ken. Ya know, that ignore thing….

    Edit: In addition, here’s a short but interesting synopsis regarding the Haitian migration: Total Anarchy indeed!

    Many, first, moved to South America -Argentina and Chile in particular- and, since they weren't very welcome there, they moved trough Central America all the way to Mexico...
    Trust me, the Haitians are not well liked in Latin America.

    I had my bout with some Haitians in S. Florida and whilst I understand why they did what they did, it wasn’t a very nice relationship.

    A family of them moved into the house next door to me in Lantana, Florida and pretty soon there were 3 or 4 families living there. They didn’t power up the house or have running water so they did their “business” in the hedges that separated our properties.
    I tried talking to one of the men but it was useless so I called the health department. I do not know what the HD did but one day the Haitians were there and the next day everyone had disappeared.

    I have worked with Haitians whilst working in restaurants in Florida and the Bahamas and overall they’re good people. For the most part, they worked as dishwashers and utility people and my dad had quite a few working as laborers. They did their jobs well but that said, they’re like the majority of people who immigrate to the U.S. in that they try to bring the way they lived in another country to this country.

    Funny, and not necessarily to change the thread, but wife and I have met numerous "big city" folks from L.A. and such that want to bring their "big city" ways to a small town/city. We can see it happening right here where we live.

    As far as your first paragraph, I've heard of some, but not all, people from Mexico, doing the same thing.........multiple people living in the same apartment or house and not very sanitary at all. And then, there are those that send most of their earnings back to Mexico to support those family members still living there. Some Americans don't like that. "They should be putting it back into our economy, not Mexico's", some will say.

    Well, the Del Rio site is cleared, as least that's what pictures show. But, Haitian immigration is a long, long ways from being over. An Official in Haiti is stating that "inequality" all around the world, is a major part of the problem. Haitians want to come to the U.S. where they can prosper and live the "good life", like they been told many in America do.

    Do these people believe that "the good life" just happened as an accident of geography??? Americans built this country. Why don't all the illegals take a look at their own countries and decide to make things better THERE? Instead they want to come here and bring the crap and garbage from the shitholes they left behind, proudly waving the FLAG of wherever that might have been. I'm fed up with it, and those of you not living in a border state have no idea how bad things really are.

    Why indeed don't they ....decide to make things better? The problem is that when they do, the US gets involved and frequently topples the government. We've been doing that in Central America for the past century. When a government tries to use the proceeds of its natural resources for its own people, rather than the profits of a foreign corporation, it gets toppled. Same in some countries in South America, as we see in Venezuela. Here's a note about Haiti: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/07/moise-assassination-henry-united-states-intervention

    Some of us can't read the complete article without a headache,I went to the site and read what I could,but it never seem to get to the point.
    I know we do take what we can from others and our crooks buy off their crooked leaders so what does Haiti have we need or want?

    Why would anyone want illegals in their country?
