Reply to comment by _Maxolotl in 'Surprise' in Canada as NYC buses migrants to border by esporx

the venezuelans were literally begging to go to canada and away from the city after slumming it in the streets near the hotels when they refused to go to the perfectly good shelter in brooklyn...it's not even our fault atp

I was watching an interview on Univision , and there were a couple of Venezuelans (I’m not generalizing , these were only the ones that were interviews by channel 41) and they were complaining how this is supposed to be the American dream , how are being left in the cold , or not provided with housing and a stable job. One of them even complained about people trying to steal their $150 caps and $200 shoes 🙄

There is this weird dynamic on this sub where any reporting about migrants that isn't a puff piece is branded as right-wing tabloid fodder by some members.

It is easy to use that deflection tactic for a Post article, but when outlets like Univision and ABC7 report similar stories, it gets a bit harder to use that ad hominem attack.
