    Horrible video… It looks like he was going twice as fast as the other cars on the road and hit the curb and went airborne about where the people the people sitting, causing the car to flip on its side flew through the air…

    Need more details… could just be an idiot driving too fast…

    Par for the course. They wait for their aha moment and consider it a win.

    But they were migrants......The only way I know that is that the word migrant was used 16 times in a one page article. That seems to be the most important thing to CNN.

    Hunter may have been wrong on Box Scores. The guy who just won NBA defensive player of the year, Jaren Jackson Jr, had some controversy on his box scores. Seems like he is getting home cooking from the local statistician.

    Yes, most legal asylum seekers don't have housing lined up when they enter the country. It usually take a period of time for them to find some form of work and secure housing in that location. If our system prioritized meeting economic needs and matching migrants to companies, there would likely be fewer, as that process would be expedited.

    Agreed, immigrants should be required to prove ability to financially support themselves. Google jobs is available worldwide and they could find jobs while waiting for their immigration processing.
