"Thousands of migrants were crowded under a bridge outside the border community of Del Rio on Thursday, part of a massive surge in migration across the Rio Grande this week..."
"... that has overwhelmed the authorities and caused significant delays in processing the arrivals.
The U.S. Border Patrol said that more than 9,000 migrants, mostly from Haiti, were being held in a temporary staging area under the Del Rio International Bridge as agents worked as quickly as they could to process them.... The shaded area under the bridge, the Border Patrol said, was to 'prevent injuries from heat-related illness' while migrants were waiting to be taken into custody. The scene — of dense crowds sleeping on dirt or milling about in triple-digit heat amid conditions of deteriorating sanitation — drew condemnations from local officials. Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas ordered the state police and the National Guard to assist border agents in Del Rio, saying the federal response had not been enough to quell the surge in crossings.
'The Biden administration is in complete disarray and is handling the border crisis as badly as the evacuation from Afghanistan,' he said...."

it's "Just a seasonal thing" it "happens every year"
9000 Haitians got themselves plane tickets to Mexico, so that they could walk across the border into Texas? WHO is paying for this? George Soros? Our tax dollars? Who?
The return of competence in government!
Luckily none of them has any communicable diseases, because they will be coming soon to a neighborhood near you. There's a large migrant hotel up the street from me; looks like the hospitality industry has found a new market niche to make up for the loss of domestic travelers.
Surprised to see the NYT giving this kind of thing any attention. What happened to the real news, like what AOC will wear next?
They're not migrants. They are illegal aliens.
Migrant is an incorrect term. It implies that the person is basically nomadic and constantly on the move. These are illegal immigrants, people illegally crossing a border to move from one place to another permanently.
And now the FAA has closed the air space so TV drones can't cover this travesty.
Progressive serving suggestion - "Our au pair is from Costa Rica, and she says this report makes her feel unsafe. Who wrote this? How can they still have a job? Has the newsroom been alerted to the pure hatred spewing from their midst?"
Remember, the Biden admin wanted to be in charge so they could be in charge of this and stop the atrocities these people faced before 2021.
I have to assume that this is what they had in mind, right? It's either that or incompetence.
It'll get a big "nothing to see here..." from the powers that currently be.
None of them vaccinated.
No masks.
The people who support the democrat party are just pathetic hypocrites at every step.
So, is this Mission Accomplished for Team Biden? Couple this (planned) chaos on the border with the Afghan "refugees" and continued onerous covid rules, full implementation of the Cloward-Piven strategy will be realized in the not too distant future.
And all of these people will be voting in 2022.
They may never receive or fill out a ballot, but they will be voting.
Look at all the things the NYT's will talk about so they don't have to mention the Hostage Crisis happening right now.
At least Carter only abandoned a few hundred people amrite?
We heard constantly about Trump's "kids in cages" but this is way worse.
My outrage meter is exhausted.
Fuck Joe Biden. Fuck the Fake News.
The Feds immediately swept into action to handle this by...
Issuing a TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) to prevent drone flights in the area, so news media can no longer get overhead views of the disaster.
The increasingly huge gulf between letting untested unvaccinated illegal aliens roam free-range while punishing working Americans who are vaccine-hesitant is going to also widen the gap between what Americans want and what Biden is shoveling onto us. Sure the courts will eventually help out someone with a wrongful termination or an equal protection claim, but in the meantime we see Biden gleefully putting the screws to his fellow countrymen, as his mentor Barry was want to do, while importing both random Afghans and random third-worlders in unsustainable quantities.
The stack of dichotomies is growing higher: subsidizing Putin's pipeline but canceling Trans-Canada, bringing home 120,000 anonymous foreigners while leaving thousands of Americans stranded, oppressive unscientific vaccine mandates for working Americans but free everything for illegal border crossers who don't even need a flu shot to get in, keeping our children out of school for no good reason while spending literally $100s of millions abroad to teach CRT to foreign children, arming the Taliban while claiming pistols Americans own should be banned because they are "really" machine guns, and the list goes on and on.
'The Biden administration is in complete disarray and is handling the border crisis as badly as the evacuation from Afghanistan,' he said...."
On the other hand, Kamala is working hard on the root causes. The root cause is that America is preferable to Haiti. The solution is to make America not preferable, and progress to that end is remarkable.
Biden and his corrupoctats invited them.
How did these Haitians even get into Mexico? Feel for Haitians... their country is absolutely hopeless. Another American failure?
Meanwhile, while the border patrol is doing their absolute level best to manage this chaos and care for these people, they aren’t patrolling the actual border and so additional illegals, including criminals, as well as epic amounts of illegal narcotics, including the deadly fentanyl, are crossing the border with impunity.
I'm watching Gov Abbott to see how he reacts to this. He's clearly rolling for President, ready to take over after DeSantis has his inevitable stumble. Abbott was transiently squishy during the 2020 lockdown but has (over)compensated with the 6 week abortion law, open carry, and current activity.
Watch this space.
Thousands of people can cross the border, but one drone can't cross into that airspace?
What if the drone crosses from the Mexican side?
The uniparty in DC is now boldly at open war with the hated American middle class citizens. And all is fair in love and war, Including their fake election ballot counts adding and switching votes as needed to keep the criminal gang in power. Exposing this truth is the best thing that DJT ever accomplished.
So, when are George and Laura Bush going to "express their concerns"? They seemed to care so deeply about "Brown babies in cages" and "Chaos on the Border" when trump was POTUS.
An unexplored possibility:
The surge to the border is part of the Mexican Independence Day (September 16) celebrations which have been so visible here in Chicago this week. All week hombres y mujeres have been sticking Mexican flags on their cars and driving around Chicago like maniacs, honking their horns and clogging up traffic lanes. Last night there was a two hour traffic jam on Lakeshore Drive--sorry, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable Lakeshore Drive--as many if not all of our 725,000 Hispanic residents took to the streets to celebrate Mexico's independence from Spain.
What better way to celebrate Mexican independence than to head to El Norte? You can call it transitory--like inflation. Someone get that nice Jen Psaki on the phone. There is a way to spin the disaster at the border. She needs to be told!
Gahrie said... Migrant is an incorrect term. It implies that the person is basically nomadic and constantly on the move. These are illegal immigrants, people illegally crossing a border to move from one place to another permanently.
Agreed but I request to extend that thought. "Immigrant" implies, to me, a person who wishes to join the community at destination. Learn and actively participate in the customs and rituals of the new place, and keep the rituals and loyalties of the "old country" mostly in memory. The best immigrant is actively seeking and working towards citizenship.
People who live among others of "the old country", preserve that language, participate in the economy and rituals of that place, etc, are called "ex-pats". These folks have no interest in becoming citizens of their new community.
>> The stack of dichotomies is growing higher....
You left out my favorites:
Shooting and throwing Molotov cocktails at police while attempting to burn them alive inside a federal courthouse = peaceful protest and no arrests
Running around with signs and basically acting like idiots in the Capitol = attempted overthrow of the government and you get held in solitary confinement.
Trump is a Russian agent, and should go to jail based on a totally fictitious accusation by Team Clinton. We have proof that Biden was accepting bribes (10% for the Big Guy) from China, but that's a non story.
We just had a perfectly clean election, but asking to verify it is a crime.
There are those who believe we are living in a simulation.
I believe we are living in a farce, and those directing it are just trying to find out how ridiculous they can make it before we catch on....
untested unvaccinated illegal aliens roam free-range
the Good News Is:
If even just one, of the 9000 aliens crammed under the bridge had Covid...
It is virtual certainty, that ALL of them will now have Covid...
So, no real reason to test; they're guaranteed to be infected and transmitting
Covid Today, Covid Tomorrow, Covid FOREVER!!!
LONG LIVE BIG BROTHER
gilbar's question is important:
9000 Haitians got themselves plane tickets to Mexico, so that they could walk across the border into Texas? WHO is paying for this? George Soros? Our tax dollars? Who?
A quick look at Expedia tells me a 1-way ticket from Port au Prince to Mexico City is $1,000. Most flights stop in MIA and require a negative COVID test to board. Then you have to get to Ciudad Acuna somehow. How are all these earthquake-ravaged dirt poor Haitians doing this?
If they can afford air travel these are Haitians at the very top of society, presumably the most able and enterprising. Last I checked, there was not a single college graduate left in the country. They all live in the US or other rich countries. No wonder those left behind flounder: it takes talent to man a democracy. Thugocracies, not so much.
This is the hidden side of the contemporary immigration debate: stripping third world countries, especially those in Africa or with large African populations of their scarce human capital. And all in the name of humanity and of do-gooder's humanitarian impulses. If we want to increase global welfare, the flow of immigration should be in the opposite direction.
GRW3@8:47: That drone flight restriction was implemented to protect the privacy of these new arrivals. Seems reasonable.
Cannot seem to find the sarc font here…
"On the other hand, Kamala is working hard on the root causes. The root cause is that America is preferable to Haiti. The solution is to make America not preferable, and progress to that end is remarkable.
I think I'm in love.
From Haiti? How nice! How did they get to Mexico?
Send us you tired, your poor . . . AND DO IT NOW!!
The Biden administration is destroying our country. This despicable man will go down in history as the WORST President. I don’t think he has the capacity to realize the legacy he is creating. What an unmitigated disaster he is. Everything he does turns into a debacle.. I don’t know how we get our country back on track after all the damage and divisiveness caused by this evil man and the power hungry Democrats.

"that has overwhelmed the authorities and caused significant delays in processing the arrivals."
The "authorities" are "overwhelmed" only because they lack the political will to close the border.
"The U.S. Border Patrol said that more than 9,000 migrants, mostly from Haiti"
Why are any "migrants" from Haiti admitted at all after they made it to Mexico?
Few of the "migrants" flee persecution in the first place, but any who reach a country other than their own thereby should forfeit any claim to asylum.
But Dems want the invasion, the faster to ruin the country and solidify their own power.
why don't news providers sue FAA for restricting their 1A? or invite more egregious violent action by FAA?
these FAA rules are not aimed at public safety - rather regime protection.
Leave them in squalor to encourage the others to stay home.
The perpetual triggering produces a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness. That void is filled with hate, resentment and an endless loop of random conspiracy theories.

-------------
AFAIK - US Immigration Authorities insist on 'non-immigrants' show them return tickets with dates before admitting into any port of entry.
I would assume Mexico has similar rules - so 9000 Haitians would have bought return tickets to Haiti - SOP is to discard travel documents before crossing
If these illegal immigrants were all dressed in camouflage fatigue, they would have to be considered an invading army.It is What the Biden Administration is doing through incompetence or a nauseating strategy to literally change the make up of this country is just so very wrong. Seeing those images of the hoards of illegals makes my stomach churn and turn.
Among other things this invasion is about, it is an attack on Texas and other red states where these aliens are being flown.
"The U.S. Border Patrol said that more than 9,000 migrants, mostly from Haiti, were being held in a temporary staging area under the Del Rio International Bridge as agents worked as quickly as they could to process them...."

Education, Haiti
Enrollment & Retention:
50 percent of children do not attend school. (World Bank 2013)
Approximately 30% of children attending primary school will not make it to third grade; 60% will abandon school before sixth grade. (UNICEF 2008)
Only 29 percent of Haitians 25 and above attended secondary school. (USAID 2015)
I can't speak for anyone else here, but I'm not suggesting a conspiracy, I'm honestly curious how all these folks got to Del Rio.
This article suggests there are a lot of Haitians that have been in South/Central America for a long time and are coming north as the US economy improves. I don't doubt this is true, but prefer not to extrapolate from a few anecdotes. Plus, how did they get from Haiti to places as distant as Chile?
https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/in-depth/2021/06/11/400406/many-haitians-are-migrating-to-the-u-s-after-facing-racism-poverty-in-latin-america/
Howard: "The perpetual triggering produces a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness. That void is filled with hate, resentment and an endless loop of random conspiracy theories."
Howard sees real time video of thousands and thousands of Haitians that have crossed the US border from Mexico illegally and easily being kept in holding areas under freeways and pronounces the presence of these thousands of thousands of Haitians (easily seen from the above highway) a "conspiracy theory".
Now, we already know from last year that Howard has been "trained" by the lefty machine to squawk "conspiracy theory" at reality when Howard flipped a switch and overnight moved from passionately arguing that antifa rioters were the equivalent of our 1944 Normandy soldiers for over 6 months to, and again this was as if someone flipped a switch, pretending those antifa types never even existed at all.
Interestingly, Howard also claims there are no US citizen hostages in Afghanistan, there is no inflation in our economy, there is no lost GDP growth in our economy (see recent FED announcements cutting all growth projections dramatically), etc.
So at least there is consistency.
Skippy Tisdale: ""The U.S. Border Patrol said that more than 9,000 migrants, mostly from Haiti, were being held in a temporary staging area under the Del Rio International Bridge as agents worked as quickly as they could to process them...."
Howard claims none of that is true. At all. There are no illegal immigrants being detained under bridges in Texas.
That's Howard's story and he isn't going to be changing that for anyone.
Good addition, DantheMan. The stack is higher than I could list here. I'll add the complete censorship and shunning of anyone who questions the 2020 election as contrasted with the fact Hillary still doesn't accept 2016, and never ever admitted Trump won. The absolute fealty of the entire DNC-Media to crackhead Hunter is also a thing to behold, having seen the Trump family savaged over and over and told they had no business even trying to earn a living.
You see, people resent being lied to, and the media blob's lies of omission are growing so numerous that they can't be ignored. Lies about COVID. Lies about the vaccine. Lies about who is NOT getting the vaccine. It's so wearisome. Why does the president and media pretend these are all Mexicans or "triangle" natives crossing when it is thugs from 90 other countries instead?
You fly from Haiti to Puerto Rico or some other Caribbean country, then to Mexico to cross the border. That’s how they do it. Now let’s punish our so-called allies who abet this.
I know several illegals who flew into JFK on fake “Polish mafia” passports. Another who used postage stamps to make his own passport to fly into New Hampshire. He had been a coal miner in Russia. He was obsessed with terrorist Angela Davis. All the communist bloc natives worshiped Angela Davis. The Soviet leaders would take her on official state tours. My coal miner neighbor had a crumpled photo of him and his wife on their wedding day. They still went to wedding studios to rent clothes and pose for pictures. In the ‘70s. He and the wife had matching, bizarre afros to honor Angela Davis. He said entire towns would get afros when they heard she was coming. This was after she provided the weapons to murder a judge and cripple a DA for life. Four people died after Davis supplied the jail breakers with weapons she bought in her own name the prior week. Now she’s Chair of the History of Consciousness at Santa Cruz. Our tax dollars at work.
What a bunch of gutless wonders, the Democrats. I just helped my drywall buddy register to vote. He’s furious about how many jobs he’s lost to illegals. Never voted before in his life. He’s had enough.
>> Approximately 30% of children attending primary school will not make it to third grade; 60% will abandon school before sixth grade.
So they are overqualified to work in our government. Sad.
Isn't it fascinating that our LLR Chuck-like bookend Howard decided that today, a day when the NYT itself is running stories on the crisis at the border, with pictures, on top of the Feds having to ask the State of Texas for assistance in the handling of the unprecedented volume of illegals pouring across our borders due to the biden/dems/LLR plan to flood the US with millions more illegals and then give them amnesty, the day after the State of Texas was forced to shut down 6 processing centers to reallocate resources AND the Biden FAA has decreed that no more drones can be flown in the area (the pictures are too embarrassing), Howard decided it would be a great day to proclaim all of it, ALL of it......non-existent and a conspiracy theory.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is Advanced pro-marxist LLR Chuck-level lying. And that's not something you don't want to try at home.....
Fox News had video from a drone.
The FAA grounded the drone.
FNC hosts weren't happy.
The Daily Beast made the Fox hosts' reaction the story.
The Beast described the video as "voyeuristic" and FNC's reactions as gloating and ignored the scandal and tragedy of millions of people being under the overpass in the first place.
Biden manufactured this with the assistance of the drug cartels and the media and the story is still "Republicans pounce."
But it's like that, isn't it? Everything is "us versus them."
Real stories go unreported, and when the mainstream media expresses outrage or disapproval it's redirected from those responsible to "them."

Keep them together under the bridge for a couple of weeks and they'll all have natural immunity. That Biden is a genius!
Can people claim asylum in the US if they claim they come from a shithole country, to use Trump's term of art.
last week, i posted about a county in New York, that was having to close sections of their hospitals because of so many nurses quitting because they refused to take the Vaccine
and, you may remember a LLL from michigan said (i, i quote):
"Gilbar? New York? I had to look that up on google maps, 'cause i'd never heard of it"
So... Today's news
More than 150 employees resign or are fired from Houston hospital system after refusing to get vaccinated
LUBBOCK, Texas: Rural hospitals risk losing funding, staff over COVID-19 vaccine mandate
can we assume, that we'll see reply, where a LLL says:
"Gilbar? Houston, Texas? I had to look that up on google maps, 'cause i'd never heard of it"
Biden and company threw open the border and said everyone is welcome, then seem surprised when thousands of people a week take them up on their offer. For those they're determined to let in, relocated them to the neighborhoods of open immigration supporters and let them deal with the problems and expense.
Howard says, "The perpetual triggering produces a profound sense of fatigue . . . a feeling of emptiness. That void is filled with hate, resentment, and an endless loop of random conspiracy theories."
Howard, I congratulate you. The first step to solving your problem is admitting you have it.
These are mostly Haitians who have been in Mexico, Central America and Brazil for years, not people who have recently arrived there.
You’re gonna need a bigger bridge.
If only the Trump rally had unleashed illegal immigrants into the Capitol on 1/6...
They're even checking them for swollen testicles! WTF?
Relax. Kameltoe and Biden are addressing the root of the problem, which is that nobody wants to live in a shithole country.
"
The perpetual triggering produces a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness. That void is filled with hate, resentment and an endless loop of random conspiracy theories."
While engaging in pretend mind reading and amateur psychology might be fun, it really isn't an argument against enforcing immigration law. It won't make the fact that the immigration situation under Biden is objectively worse than it was under Trump (yes, it really hurt to write that), and that the current administration has actually given up on any actual solution to the problem. Now they are just trying to cover it up until after the mid-terms. So snark away if that's your thing, just know that objective reality doesn't care about clever you think you are.
Kamala hasn't fixed it yet? Huh...
It's an invasion.
Systemic racism and white supremacy are the root causes of this, which is why so many poor blacks are clamoring to get into the country : )
'The perpetual triggering produces a profound sense of fatigue... a feeling of emptiness. That void is filled with hate, resentment and an endless loop of random conspiracy theories.'
Not my issue...I just hate fucking illegals.
Maybe invite them all over to your house.
I'm sure you could fit a couple of hundred in your garage...it would be more spacious than what they're used to at home.
I, too, am puzzled how these Haitians ever got off their own island. A thousand-dollar plane ticket ($2K round trip) is an unbelievable amount of money for a single Haitian to scrape up; multiply by the size of a typical Haitian family . . . Haiti is further from Mexico than Cuba is from Florida. I can only guess that the Haitian government -- whatever that is, at the moment -- is facilitating their departure, after the US government explicitly warned them that they wouldn't be welcome if they came by sea. Why not? Haiti itself has no means to take care of them; nor does Mexico.
GRW3, my understanding is that FOX has ditched its drones perforce after the FAA ruling, but now is using a local news service's helicopter to view the same scenes, albeit from a little higher up. The FAA hasn't shut down the manned helicopter -- yet.
'I, too, am puzzled how these Haitians ever got off their own island.'
Maybe they got a loan from the Clinton Global Initiative...32% interest and your finest goat for collateral...
On the plus side, think of all the new Voodoo priests we'll soon have.
I think it's the response to the wage gains made by the icky working class in the US. Illegal immigrants hold down wages, especially for poor blacks and Hispanics. The left liberal elite, hates the working class. They do in the UK, they did in the Soviet Union, and do so in the US.
My Country, may she always be right. Yet, right or wrong, she is a fucking hilarious dope.
"I, too, am puzzled how these Haitians ever got off their own island."
I wonder how they got on their island in the first place, without tipping it over.
Michelle Dulak Thomson: "I, too, am puzzled how these Haitians ever got off their own island."
According to Howard, there are no illegal immigrant Haitians being detained in Texas. They dont exist. You are imagining them because you are a conspiracy theorist.
Howard can explain further if you have any questions.
On the Grito de Dolores these Haitians disgrace themselves by deciding that it is better to stand under a bridge in Texas for a few hours before moving to Iowa than it is to stay in Mexico. Health care and a number of life outcomes are better in Mexico than in the US, as well noted by UN officials.
Michelle, it’s about $200 to fly to another island with lax procedures, then about $250 to $300 to get from there to Mexico. Note the crowd is all young, strong men who could spend their time fixing their own shithole country. Instead, they get in line to take jobs from hardworking Americans and bring their families over. To take hard earned benefits from other people’s families.
And getting fake ID is easier than buying candy. I live in the zip code with the highest percentage of illegals of any zip code in the U.S.: Gainesville, Georgia. Every school has to hire extra teachers to teach English for Spanish teachers. They love their increased power. Doug Dollins, our disgraced crooked ex-congressman, is playing a Trump supporter on local radio. While is office he took his cash from the Kochs and took a hike whoever an immigration control bill was voted on. It’s a mess up here, but many are profiting from it: grocery stores (with our tax dollars) motel and apartment and trailer rentals (with our housing stipends), teachers, who get to act all superior as we pay for them to be even more idle with two teachers in each classroom for the non-English speaking kids. The Gainesville mafia: elected officials from chicken country, profit handsomely and have gated mansions on the lake.
We know who they are.
Looking back through history, it seems that there have been so many overreactions.
The French Revolution, Jim Crow, Pol Pot, HUAC, Stalin purging his military of all the generals, modern leftism. People trying to correct a perceived wrong, and way overdoing it.
I always thought that people who did this were foolish, counterproductive, and ultimately self-defeating.
I'm now starting to understand why these things happened, even as I still see how wrong they were.
There will be a very strong, probably too strong, reaction to current leftist insanity in this country. It will be very unpleasant, for both sides.
The Texas 6 week abortion law is perhaps the first example of over-reaction. Every attempt to place what I would call reasonable restrictions on abortion has been blocked by unelected judges and federal administrators. This resulted in a law that is chaotic, and probably in the long run unworkable, but from the perspective of the pro-life movement, there is no other option.
No other option, that is, short of the 3rd box. They have just about taken the first 2 boxes away.
It will get kinetic, and very unpleasant, if they keep pushing.
