1. I smelled something fishy the moment the first pics appeared on the news.

There were reports from Mexico of ‘bus loads’ passing through …..🙄

[Frustratedlady]

2. I keep thinking my hidden suspicions on this subject should be wrong, but...

with the dirty tricks Republicans have pulled, it crossed my mind early on that they might have set up this explosion at the border out of spite. We know they are capable...just need to opportunity to pull it off and keep their hands clean.

[IronLionZion]

3. It also seems like a long convoluted inefficient journey

to go from Haiti to Brazil and then up through Mexico to arrive at a strongly protected border. Going by boat to Florida might be easier.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

7. I've read a lot if not most had been in Brazil for quite awhile

Many were refugees from the prior earthquake years back that killed 10's of 1000's and decimated the country.

[moose65]

43. Agreed

When I first read that, I thought, "Wait, what??" It seems SO weird that so many Haitian refugees would end up in Mexico. I even got into an argument with a nimrod on Facebook when I posed that question: "How did they manage to leave a Caribbean country with nothing and end up in Mexico?" and the reply I got was "They walked."

[IronLionZion]

46. Jesus walked on water

so anything is possible if you believe

[mollie8]

4. needs more exposure

This should be televised.

[malaise]

5. It was timed for the UN General Assembly as well

That rat was obvious from day one - I even asked about sabotage

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. I would very much suspect the Bolsonaro regime is involved as well

Operationally, I don't know that one person 'on the ground' (Miller) could do that much.

However, he could've been there as something of a secret envoy to talk to the Brazilian government and encourage them to use their resources to accomplish that task ... I can imagine Bolsonaro was happy to get rid of the Haitians and do IQ45 a solid at same time.

[Quakerfriend]

12. Yes, I believe so. And, this may explain why Bolsonaro's son was

at Jan. 5th meeting just prior to the insurrection .

[IronLionZion]

16. Conservatives involve their kids a bit too much in their administrations

Meanwhile, Biden, Obama, Clinton, etc. did not involve their kids in anything.

[FSogol]

24. How else will their worthless kids pull themselves up by their own bootstraps without

getting cash and plum jobs from their crappy parents and friends of their parents?

[Tanuki]

8. I don't think it's true that "almost all" originated in Brazil. From what I've read,

a large number had been living in Chile. They relocated there after the earthquake but faced poor employment and discrimination. This article from last year sheds some light on the situation of Haitians in Chile:

https://www.borgenmagazine.com/haitians-in-chile/

..."Originally enticed to move to Chile by reports of endless job opportunities, once there, “employers abuse and underpay them. Landlords crowd them into overpriced, closet-sized rooms. Scam artists try to sell them work contracts that could put them on the wrong side of the law.” These fake work contracts caused some Haitians to lose their work visas. The closet-sized rooms often have no running water and a single bathroom shared with up to 15 residents. There are even reports of some Haitians forced to sleep in stables.

It is less about their immigrant status, but rather their skin color and the perception of their home country which causes many Haitians in Chile to experience isolation, mistreatment and mockery. Haitians reported that Venezuelan and other Spanish-speaking migrants receive better treatment and have more opportunities for jobs. Misleading information and stereotypes portray Haitians, many of whom came to Chile speaking only Creole, as poor, dirty and low-skilled. Although some Haitians are immigrating with an advanced degree, Chile has been slow to officially recognize foreign degrees."...(more)

[Tommymac]

9. BINGO! I posted my suspicions earlier in the week about this.

It was done intentionally.

The Q's have done this before.

[GoCubsGo]

10. I'm glad somebody is finally bringing this up.

It's shocking that so few people are even wondering how so many people showed up at the border like that, literally overnight.

[Botany]

11. Malcom Nance was on Stephaine Miller's show just 2 days ago saying the same thing that all those ...

... Haitians showing up on the Texas Mexico border did not pass his smell test.

[Quakerfriend]

14. And, odd how they were pretty far inside the state many miles from the border.

[Botany]

26. Haiti to Chile to Brazil and then up through Central America and Mexico to get into America seems ..

... like a long way to go. How did they pay for all of that? And how did they travel all that way?
If they had the money for all that travel why didn't they just take a plane flight from Haiti to America?

And Jason Miller just happened to be in Brazil before the Haitians showed up @ the border?

[LeftInTX]

52. Jason Miller does not need to be in Brazil to get involved with dirty tricks

The GOP did this to Obama in 2014.

They spread rumors that Obama was gonna welcome them with open arms. It got on all the radio stations in Central America and Southern Mexico and they came here.

All it takes is connections.

[2naSalit]

13. I have no doubt that this is the case.

Or something just like that took place.

All tfg's henchmen need to be rounded up and detained until their trials.

[kentuck]

15. I agree. Something fishy.

Also, some of them had left Haiti years ago? Did they all decide to just pack up and one day go to Texas? Strange.

[Backseat Driver]

40. Didn't TFG say in some phone call:

"“Look, all I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes,” Trump told Raffensperger.

Near the same number+; just sayin' - A bit late for 2020 votes in GA but "twisted" and reframed purpose? Next time around?(2024)

And the Intelligence analysts heard, saw, nada amiss until BAM, there they were, like Ninjas?

[Agschmid]

17. This feels like quite a stretch.

[brooklynite]

18. Creating a NEW conspiracy theory is a refreshing change from the old ones...

Am I to also assume that the Republicans conspired with the ICE agents to beat them up?

[Ohioboy]

19. Would not put it past them

The GOP loves chaos on the border.

They are the ones that promote the false idea that the border is wide open.

This has "GOP dirty trick" all over it. Karl Rove would be proud.

[George II]

20. Didn't many of them show up with Biden/Harris t-shirts and pre-printed "Biden Let Us In" signs?

[Celerity]

21. Many came from Chile, etc. This is CT dross and belongs in Creative Speculation

The claims in those tweets they ALL came from Brasil are ludicrous. Also, some who did start from there had already left long before January 2021.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/sep/23/facebook-posts/why-haitians-are-crossing-us-texas-and-not-somewhe/

The Brazilian government made humanitarian visas available to Haitians, and there was significant demand for construction workers leading up to the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Once those jobs started to dry up, many Haitians moved on to Chile, Bolter said.

The Associated Press reported that about 150,000 Haitians went to Chile from 2014 to 2018 and found work as street vendors, janitors and construction workers.

However, since 2018, the Chilean government has made it more difficult for Haitians to get work visas.

"The cost of living in Chile is high, so it can be particularly difficult to get by with a poorly paying job," Bolter said. "Many Haitians experience racial discrimination in jobs and housing in Chile as well. Haitians who stayed in Brazil have continued to struggle economically, and have also faced racial discrimination, as well as crime and insecurity."

29. Conspiracy theory is not just for the other side

Our folks can make up stuff too.
Doesn’t any of the “GOP did it” crowd wonder why the thousands of journalists covering the story haven’t come up with this, but a speculative thread on DU with zero proof uncovers this massive international conspiracy?

[uponit7771]

51. All around the same time to this spot in TX? tia

[Champp]

22. Skuzzbucket Republican evil tricks

So typical. So wrong. So anti-American. So Republican.

[dalton99a]

23. Kick

[Chakaconcarne]

25. Same with the last border crisis during the last admin

[Stinky The Clown]

27. I saw this when they started showing up.

BTW, Jason Miller belongs in prison.

[Escurumbele]

37. So many of them belong in prison, they are going to have to build a new one to house them all

I would really love to see that actually, all of them in the same prison complex, biting each other, blaming each other about everything...I just wonder who will volunteer to change trump's diapers and clean his butt.

I have been thinking that one of the biggest fears trump may have about going to jail is not having enough diaper, or someone to clean his butt, that he will have to do it himself...plus of course, he won't have a toilet made of gold in there.

[kentuck]

28. Why?

Why would they pull such a stunt?

Would they think it would create such chaos that people would be demanding the return of Trump and the Republicans?

This seems a little "big" even for Republican conspiracy theorists. This seems like something that may have been hatched in the Kremlin and forwarded to Trump and his associates?

[Farmer-Rick]

35. Why do they encourage their minions to avoid vaccinations?

Why do they protest wearing masks? Why do they die by the thousands to follow a sociopath and bafoon? Why do they hate democracy?

If you are looking for logic and reason in their behavior, you may never find it.

[Escurumbele]

36. The republican goal is to make noise, to create chaos, many times they shoot themselves on the foot

but as long as they can make noise, that they can disrupt Biden's administration then they are happy. The cruelty is the goal, using Haitians as pawns is just criminal in itself, but they lack vision about consequences, they have linear thinking they cannot see on the sides to figure out what problems can even come back to them, they only see the end-goal as they figure it would come out.

Example? The Maricopa clown show, now Biden has more votes...Who are they going to blame now, the cyber-Ninjas? The Cyber-Ninjas will be shown as Democratic hacks who "fooled" republicans but were really working in favour of the Democrats...or something like that.

[SMC22307]

53. The answer to your third question is "yes."

We know Bannon's goal was to burn it all down. Trump thrives on chaos. I imagine there will be many more "crises" between now and November 2024.

[Marthe48]

30. gop dirty tricks resonates

r's destroy human lives as if their motives weren't human. Displacing 15,000 Haitians wouldn't make them lose a wink of sleep.

I think the planning probably started in June, as one of the quotes mentioned.

Where did those improverished people get cell phones? And how did they recharge the batteries on their trek?

[Submariner]

31. The Haitians should have arrived in Miami by boat

Just as the Cubans washed up on our beaches in 1960, and beyond, and sought food and shelter from tyrannical government oppression in Havana, the Haitians are suffering the same social chaos from an assassination on top of the earthquake, and seek our help today.

The Miami Cuban population should reach out and lend a hand to their fellow Caribbean islanders in distress.

[Etherealoc1]

32. A CNN reporter mentioned

at one point the Mexican Government
was only letting the Haitians go through during the mass exodus.
The other refugees were being detained.

Then I thought maybe TFG may
have been involved with this.
Pure speculation on my part but who
knows what's happening behind the
scenes.

[Escurumbele]

33. Why weren't the intelligence agencies aware of all these? What is going on?

They should have seen this coming, they should be observing the criminals from the previous administration who still roam around, we all know they are up to no good.

What is going on intelligence agencies? 15,000 people coming into the USA is not that hard to spot with all the technology that is available today...

Sorry but, out intelligence agencies are failing us. There should be changes at the head of the FBI to begin with, I don't have confidence in Christopher Wray.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

34. Yes, if it was a conspiracy, it's definitely okay to break the rules of asylum and just do a little

mass-deportation to make the problem go away! It wasn't a real crisis, you guys! If it's a Republican dirty trick, then we can respond in a political way instead of a humanitarian way and hopefully the administration won't get any blowback!!!!!!! WHEW!!!!!!!

[Farmer-Rick]

39. It can be both

It can be a humanitarian crisis And orchestrated by the GOP.

It looks to me like someone orchestrated this. Even if it was a grass root effort, who organized it?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

41. If it's both, then why are people only focusing on the conspiracy and not the response?

[lagomorph777]

38. I don't see the press asking why the sudden influx from Brazil.

Very suspicious indeed. Typical racist trickery.

[BlueJac]

42. I was just asking my wife, who helped these people get to the border?

I guess I might know now!

[Ace Rothstein]

44. How are they getting across Darien?

That's one of the most inhospitable places on the planet.

[Backseat Driver]

45. Surely not port Darien CT...LOL

Panama? https://www.britannica.com/place/Darien-region-Panama

"The Pan-American Highway does not traverse Darién, which effectively blocks land transportation between Central and South America."

"Since the late 1990s, Darién has been the site of increased conflict as Colombian groups (guerrillas, narcotics traffickers, and right-wing paramilitary forces) cross the border into Panama and smugglers bring over a growing number of refugees from Colombia’s civil war. The Panamanian government’s inability to defend the region has become a source of growing concern and political debate within Panama."

[MissMillie]

47. Not like they don't have a history

of making messes for us to clean up.

[Blue Owl]

48. The Slobfather's Pre-Fab Caravans

[former9thward]

49. How is it internet posters know about this CT

And the Dept of Homeland Security, CIA and all the rest don't know about it? The answer would probably generate a whole slew of new CTs.

[BlueIdaho]

50. Pure Evil.

These sycophants need to be stopped by any means necessary.
