Why Roma migrants from Europe are taking rafts from Mexico to enter the U.S.

ROMA, Texas (Reuters) - Among the hundreds of Central American migrants crossing the Rio Grande river daily on rafts from Mexico to Texas, dozens stood out on a recent day. They were generally taller and some wore skirts, stylish shoes and tracksuits, while many of the other migrants wore T-shirts, pants and jeans.

U.S. border patrol officers who apprehended them near the river tried to speak to them in Spanish. There was a pause as some of the border crossers explained in broken English that they were Romanians, a Reuters photographer said.

Scores of Romanians who are part of the Roma ethnic minority have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in south Texas in recent weeks to seek asylum, highlighting the far-flung origins of some of the migrants who have contributed to border arrests in recent months reaching a 20-year high.

Reuters witnessed large groups of these migrants crossing the Rio Grande on rafts on multiple occasions in May. The migrants Reuters spoke to said they were fleeing racism in Romania and wanted to seek asylum in the United States.

The Roma are Europe’s largest ethnic minority and have a long history of social exclusion and discrimination.

Over three weeks, a Reuters photographer saw nearly 200 Romanians crossing at different points along the Texas border, many extended family groups of 10-15 people.

Border patrol agents have apprehended 2,217 Romanians so far in fiscal year 2021, more than the 266 caught in fiscal 2020 and the 289 in fiscal 2019, according to data provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency.

More than 2,000 Romanians crossed the southwest border in fiscal year 2016. Current arrivals are on pace to be the highest since 2007, the earliest year for which citizenship arrival data is available....

7% of the Hungarian population is gypsy. 33% of their incarcerated are gypsy. They seem to give Blacks here a run for their money in the crime statistics sweepstakes.

THEY ARE NOT NOT NOT Romanians. They are Gypsies.

Nothing but nothing could be worse than Romas. They are the scum of the earth and NEVER EVER assimilate. They are genetically born and bred to be scum. They are the ultimate parasite and will suck their hosts dry and every opportunity.

My guess is they are being financed by Europeans and filled with ideas of what they can get away with here.


Can you imagine how the gypsies look at California with it's stealing anything with a value under $999 is not even a crime?

In gypsy culture, they feel anyone that stupid deserves to have their stuff stolen- and they are right.

With the organizational crime skills the gypsies have honed to a fine art over the last several thousand years, they will be stealing California blind in no time.

The rest of the country will soon be next.

Believe me the black criminals are nothing compared to the Gypsy. Ghetto crime is often impulsive and poorly thought out. Gypsies are far worse. Everything a Gypsy does is well calculated and thought out.

The idea of an honest living is literally incomprehensible in the Gypsy race and culture. The scummiest illegal Latino from south of the border is 100 times preferable than a Roma. No comparison. And Gypsies will never ever assimilate. Never.

Most illegal Latinos come to America looking for a job and a better life for their families. Illegal Gypsies come to steal from Americans for their family. Absolutely no comparison. A Latino could make a good neighbor, an Gypsy—never.

When you say to someone that "you've been gypped", you are using a phrase that came from encountering normal Gypsy behavior.

Beggars, pick-pockets, and con-artists are now considered ethnic minorities.

Some one should warn all these “migrants” they are entering a country that suffers from systemic racism.

How do you tell a 5 year old Mexican refugee from a 5 year old gypsy refugee?
The gypsy refugee is the one smoking the cigarette.


The Mexican kid is twirling his pistolero

Question: how do you tell the difference between a Roma and a Palestinian?

The Palestinian has a rag on its head.

“Lachho dives”

is apparently “Hello!” in Romany.

Use it when you’re not sure, and flee if they understand.

It's a hate crime to imply they might be common criminals. Remember what 'the press' did to Trump when he implied MS13 members might be like animals for cutting the hearts out of innocent people as a gang initiation?

Besides, criminal elements in that group are coming here for 'social justice' - they've heard police are being de-funded and they want in on the action. How can you deny them that? Intelligence is too busy to stop the invasion because they're looking for a white man who used the "N" word....

One of our local restaurants got scammed out of thousands by a large group of Roma. One of the group booked a large catered dinner, leaving a deposit. When the day of the party came close to 100 men, women and children of all ages showed up. They had their meal plus over 200 bottles of wine. Then everyone at the same time got up and walked out. It was planned to perfection.

In Barcelona in the late 90s, early 2000s, the authorities declared that any misappropriation worth less than 450 euro wouldn’t even be prosecuted. So thieves descended in mass on the city and the rest is history.

Now that SFO and many others have done the same around the U.S., watch these ‘refugees’ help themselves to merchandise that they can resell for 100% profit.

Oh man. They are really bad news. I had a pack of them descend on my at the Eiffel tower once. They shake cups in your face and if you say no they get pretty aggressive. I was never so relieved to see the gendarmes show up.

“have a long history of social exclusion and discrimination.”

change that to:
“have a long history of stealing and scamming.”

And they are not Romanians. They are gypsies.

Paris subway: one came at me with an open newspaper sheet and left in a second or two. My brain: What was that? Next thought: I was felt up and pickpocketed! Seconds later: a man walks up with my Daytimer (it’s all they got) and said “You dropped this” (must have been in French) obviously wanting a “reward” for returning it. My response: I grabbed the Daytimer and said “Je ne parle pas francais.”

Most of the Romanian orphans who were so terribly neglected were Gypsies, placed in care as babies, and then retrieved by their parents later if they weren’t dead or too damaged.
