The new Sec State is heading to Central America.
In one of his first memos to State Department employees, Rubio called mass migration “among the most consequential issues of our time” and said that under his watch, the department would work with countries in the Western Hemisphere to curtail illegal immigration and negotiate “the repatriation of illegal immigrants.”

Send them all to New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, somewhere up in the North East. That would be what’s called imported deportation. Good place for them.
Half of them are not from south of our border.
Marthas Vineyard was in shock when the bus with migrants showed up near their homes. Liberal elite reaction was harsh and swift. Their “values” were quickly abandoned. Red pilled instantaneously.
Rewriting history is so en vogue today. Any chance you realize how silly it makes you look?
I wonder who Martha’s Vineyard voted for in 2024. Spoiler alert, they overwhelmingly voted for someone who isn’t an orange convicted criminal.
Seriously, try Googling stuff before you post nonsense.

I’ve decided to stop reading and stop responding.

Wow, I didn’t realize that they managed to get rid of all their migrants in 44 hours! That’s less than 2 full days…
What’s your point?
I’ve never been to Martha’s Vineyard, but I imagine they don’t have the infrastructure to provide continous support to a group of unexpected migrants. MA officials set up a better temporary housing situation at Joint Base Cape Cod.
I think your missing the punch line. A group of vulnerable migrants were duped by a slimy politician looking to make a name for himself leading up to a presidential election. Instead of receiving backlash from the Martha’s Vineyard community, the migrants were cared for and helped.
Lacking all veracity. Congrats.
Any chance you guys could stop talking politics? I can teach my dog to behave fairly quickly, but you lot have been disrespecting an entire boards numerous votes on this for many years. Post anywhere else, just not here…
Political posts ruins message boards, always.
There’s no bus service to Martha’s Vineyard.You need to arrive by air (as the migrants did), or by boat.

The Magic Bus. It was Ms. Frizzle who masterminded the whole thing.
As suggested before, can’t deport people en-masse without someone on the other end cooperating. As suggested, this could be a secondary incentive to invade Panama: make it the dumping ground, the same way the UK wanted to make Rwanda it’s dumping ground.
Everyone keeps missing the key point: The US built the OLD Panama Canal. The NEW Panama Canal was paid for and built by Panama. So, the ONLY thing the US could theoretically “take”, given its claim “we built it !!” would be limited to the OLD locks, etc. Panama can then demand the US “remove that old garbage you claim to own and ship it to the US.” Remember: The OLD canal used mules to pull ships through the locks. Send a bunch of people–who CLAIM they want the Panama Canal–to pull the ships through the relocated Panama Canal. I doubt that will happen in four years. But the supporters will need to start training NOW so they are strong enough to pull those ships quickly. Hmm, where DID they put that whip?
The new locks are within the former “Canal Zone”, so the US would claim them too. The logic would be something like “you built something on land we own, so we own your improvements too”.
Technical note, while called “mules”, what pulled ships through the locks were electric locomotives. Pic: the first ship through the locks, in 1914. The “mules” are visible on the left wall of the lock.
Very true.
Another technical note: both the old locks and new locks only work because of the water primarily collected in Gatun lake behind the Gatun Dam built >100 years ago. There are also two smaller dams on the Pacific side.
Power from the Gatun Dam operates the mules, lock motors and lighting. Excess power goes to the Panama grid.
The Gatun Dam was the largest dam in the world when it was built.

The construction of large tent shelters is underway in Juárez as part of the Mexican government’s preparation for the possible influx of Mexican nationals deported…
Temporary structures like the one in Juárez are being prepared in nine Mexico cities along the U.S.-Mexico border…The program also makes 189 buses available to assist deportees with transportation to their home towns.

And the US built all those facilities on land it did not own. The land was leased from Panama, for 99 years. That lease ran out years ago.

Yes, the news was reporting that last night. I would suspect that the flow from farther south has not stopped. Add in the people shoved south across the border by the US. There will be quite a log jam in northern Mexico.
Steve
Since when are facts relevant to anything? When Panama presents the lease papers in a US court, then they can demand the US court order the US govt to leave the canal zone permanently.
