Does Texas have a border 'crisis'?

Fox News reporter, Lawrence Jones, talks to a Texas resident about conditions at the Texas border where migrants continue to pour in from South America and Haiti seeking asylum in the U.S.

Texas resident Alison Anderson voices her concern over migrant trespassing, COVID-19 (and other health issues), border patrol agent job performance and more. 

The treatment of Afghans vs the treatment of Haitians.

It was less than a week ago that the world watched as the U.S. offered free plane rides to America for people of Afghanistan after the Taliban took over when U.S. troops departed the country after a twenty-year war stemming from terrorist attacks on several U.S. cities on September 11, 2001.

In contrast, the U.S. has begun flying Haitians back to their native country.

In August U.S. president, Joe Biden, put out a very brief statement pledging that Haiti would have the support of the United States after the country was struck, once again, by a devastating and deadly earthquake.

"Through USAID, we are supporting efforts to assess the damage and assist efforts to recover those who were injured and those who must now rebuild. The United States remains a close and enduring friend to the people of Haiti, and we will be there in the aftermath of this tragedy."

Is this how the Biden administration is 'being there', by deporting hundreds of Haitians back to Haiti citing 'COVID concerns'? Does COVID not exist in Afghanistan? 

Analysis: Who gets to come to America.  Who gets to stay in America. Who does not.

  • Afghans - Yes: free plane ride to America, and free Airbnb housing, with "allies and NGOs ready to help".
  • Latinos/South Americans - Yes/maybe: (held in cages, processed, kids taken from families).
  • Haiti - No: rounded up, offered free plane ride back to their native country after earthquake ruins entire cities.
  • Will Ethiopians (ongoing humanitarian crisis) be crossed off the list of those seeking refuge in the U.S. as well?
  • America welcomes refugees from same country that used planes to 'destroy our way of life', but it doesn't matter. America will befriend them; "they're our allies."

It’s a day to reflect on leadership, service, and the values that drive national progress. Presidents' Day dates back to 1879, when it was first recognized as a federal holiday for Washington.
