Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people.

[@davispatton]

hello how are you doing

[@heart2heart29]

This should be a teachable moment for the officers in the Trinidad passenger scenario. They need to sit in a room and watch their behavior and then be retrained. This is not a cartoon. It is a humiliating and degrading experience and they should be more professional. All that side bar is uncalled for 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@kennediroadtolawschool]

yes in reference to the trini lady.. that fat custom guy was definitely rude .

[@sarahdee7776]

When they were initially walking away from the camera with her, they started speaking Spanish to one another.. Immediately irritated me.

[@neutrino78x]

It's a little weird that she was going to stay here for only one day. If I flew to Trinidad it wouldn't be for only one day. Trinidad has border security too, you know. Everybody does. Also, it's weird that they couldn't verify anything she said to them, and she was using a debit card that didn't have her name on it. It's not common to check someone's ID to make sure it matches the debit card, but if anyone did, they would question what's going on, right? There's several factors that lead them to question her more: -coming here for only one day -contact doesn't answer phone -doesn't have hotel set up already -has debit card with someone else's name -coming from Trinidad, which Homeland Security had identified as a common source of addictive narcotics Their job is to help protect the national security of the USA. OF COURSE they are going to look into something like that. Turned out to be nothing, but it was a little weird. If you were a border security officer, you would have questioned her, too.

They were beyond petty and too judgmental for my liking. Those comments that they stated regarding her being low income, supporting herself in the U.S. and they kept questioning her finances.

Average people in the Caribbean have better savings account that some folks here in the U.S. I know lots of people who come to Miami for a day or two, shop in the shopping district in Miami, near the airport, make quick turnaround back to the Islands.
