SAN VICENTE, Panama (AP) — After nearly a year stalled in migrant camps at the edge of the jungle, hundreds of migrants have begun to move across Panama and into neighboring Costa Rica in recent weeks.

The new U.S. administration with a kinder tone toward immigrants gave him hope.
“I hope it goes well for us,” he said. “This president (Joe Biden) is better than the other who was a little harder.”
Ovidia Fernández, left Havana, Cuba two years ago with her daughter Anabel. They spent time in Guyana, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. They arrived in San Vicente on Sunday after walking through the jungle for 13 days.

But of course, the world doesn’t (and didn’t!) stop because of really bad sniffles.
Every single one is a Biden voter.
“Every single one is a Biden voter.”
Also bringing in more covid virus and every other disease mentionable.

Borders wide open.
DC occupied for treasonous national guard.
May God stop the heart or every national guards man in DC.
Pandemics don’t affect migrants or Black Lives Matter protestors, according to Biden-approved scientists.
Now the cheap labor GOP and the illegal voters for the Dems can start pouring in again to help destroy what is left of the U.S. middle class. Millions are unemployed, and that’s the way the elites like it or more likely, they don’t even care enough to note the existence of the unemployed.
We better check you out.
Walk-ins from Mexico and Central America...
Well come on in. What took you so long?
Because it is my responsibility as a tax payer to ensure some Haitian illegal invader gets free stuff to send back to his family in haiti.
