Around 17,000 migrants are stuck in Colombia as they await safe passage to Panama to make their way to the United States.

Thousands more Haitian migrants are embarking on a perilous journey through Latin America to reach the US, after US officials cleared out an encampment which was also 17,000 strong outside Del Rio, Texas last week.

Up to 4,000 Haitian migrants have already crossed the Darien Gap in Panama along the Colombian border, a roadless, 66-mile stretch of treacherous jungle, Panamanian government sources tell Reuters. Some of them wait in camps in Mexico before continuing their journey....

...Around 17,000 wait at Necocli for their shot to jump on a boat to take them to the Darien Gap, where smugglers will guide them north through one of the most inhospitable regions in Latin America. ...

...Only 500 people each day can board on the boats that leave them in Acandi - a town in northern Colombia - to begin their journey through the Darien Gap, which separates Colombia from Panama.

The photos from the beach paint a strikingly different narrative than images showing caravans of migrants attempting to cross through jungles, rivers and other dangerous conditions....

...Former ICE Director Tom Homan accused Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas of misleading the public ..."When he said the 8,000 will return to Mexico, went back to Mexico, he realizes they went one or two miles down the line and came into the United States because they surged so many resources to Del Rio they left 220 miles of border unguarded"...

You third party types are gutless cowards. Rather than stay and fight to improve things within the existing framework, you abandon the battlefield and retreat to the safety of the sidelines, where you bitch and snipe, pretending you're smarter and more principled than those who continue to fight.

People like you have contributed mightily to the demise of this once great nation. On one hand you're smart enough to see some of the problems we have, but rather than join forces with people less perfect than yourself, you sit there with a thumb up your ass and take a stance that has no chance of winning. I guess that way you avoid criticism by saying "I didn't vote for them!"

Don't bother replying. I have no interest in anything you have to say. I've been hearing you morons for decades and despise you almost as much as Marxists.

And then, another 10,000+, and then another, and ANOTHER, AND ANOTHER....

“Camp of the Saints” + “Creepshow”, the segment with the cockroaches.

Republicans are on board with much of Xho Bai-Dan’s agenda; most helped elect him after spending four years obstructing Trump.
