    the reason Haitian migrants discard their Chilean and Brazilian ID cards over here on the Mex side is to obscure from asylum reviewers that they were already safely and prosperously situated for years and years before coming for the American upgrade

    Chilean ID cards discarded along the Acuna side of the river show what look like Haitian bearers. I found these myself and arranged them like this on a smuggler trail

    Don’t let Biden people get away with pointing to lower border “apprehensions” stats. They’re just shifting them all to ports like this one at Matamoros-Brownsville, where hundreds an hour are now entering on unvetted humanitarian permits given out on the CBP-One cell app

    Quite literally a Mexican standoff here in Matamoros looking across at Brownsville. ⁦@GregAbbott_TX⁩ national guard and DPS will not let them pass.

    “The Haitians ripped away every window sunshade, bent luggage compartment doors, tore up seat cushions, destroyed anything destroyable as pilots cowered behind locked cabin doors, the beginning of a rampage of hijackings, attacks on ICE agents and mutiny.”
