NECOCLI, Colombia (Reuters) - An influx of thousands of mostly Haitian migrants seeking transport northward toward the United States is pushing locals in the Colombian beach town of Necocli out of housing, residents said, as landlords favor migrants able to pay in dollars.

The backlog of migrants waiting in the town for scarce places on boat transport toward the jungles of the Darien Gap in Panama, where smugglers guide groups northward on foot, has swelled to up to 19,000 after the lifting of COVID-19 border closures....

Even commercial properties are being re-purposed....

Where did the Haitians get all this cash and transportation out of Haiti?

Who is funding this?

[mewzilla]

Likely taxpayer money stolen by Deep State and funneled through non-profits.

Migrants are parasites

Western culture is by far the greatest and most beneficial social system ever to be created by mankind, so let’s destroy it so we can all be equally miserable and impoverished.

Haiti and the Dominican Republic are on the same island cut in half. So why is Haiti a basket case and the Dominican Republic can stand on its own?

Why do the Haitians not go to the Dominican Republic for asylum?
