Criminals gunmen are fleeing and send back guns and money to buy guns

[@Reelijontv]

It’s not everybody going through the border a criminals

[@merleneca]

Leave them everybody would want to leave this corrupted country ,Jamaica is not safe so why not run the risk

[@SuperJoan1977]

99% of Jamaicans going through the border will not get asylum. 😂😂

[@NR-bv1mo]

Am ok with staying Jamaican dont say everyone

[@errolsimmonds4133]

We live in a society that is far too "stocious" we don't call out the inept of leaders or should I say misleaders who lack vision. Regardless of what statistics may say, we have more "dogs than bones." The rapid growth of our population is a problem. Do the people in authority really have the citizens wellbeing at heart? People in the media ask politicians too many nonsensical questions. Their campaigns are always filled with the same rhetoric. Has anyone ever asked what's the purpose of Caricom? These things need to be front and center. We are just having talks about gun control in the Caribbean now. Too many people asleep at the wheel if you ask me.

Well said- I didn't realize that Jamaicans used this route, it really is a sign of desperation!🤦🏾

LOL!😆

[@gervanmyers3066]

Mexico was always a route used in the early 70s by Jamaicans mostly females ..A TOURIST card validated by the Airline check in clerk that was required with Valid passport.i was 19 just started working at Palisadoes Airport..curious see everything.

[@suzyhur8161]

I didn't realize that Mexico was a viable route for Jamaicans for many years. Prior to the 2000s, US visitors' visa application were free and most would just try their luck and hope for an approval. Nowadays, because of the high fees and low chance of approval, they don't try to get it legally!

[@claudiakerr7785]

I love this kid

[@marjoriejohnson2721]

I agree with the border s.

[@rushellagyapong7271]

I know people who've done it. They were caught by immigration and even though they were released to families, they must go to court and are subject to deportation anytime. Worse the family they are with wants them to go find there own place now even though they told them to come. The lawyers are charging almost US $20k to represent each person them in court to fight deportation.

[@Reelijontv]

Nothing like that lawyer charge from 7-10 thousand

[@Coron-x9t]

The people that are leaving rather to die on theirs way than to stay in jamaica because of the guns violence jamaica have the highest crime rate in the Western hemispheres and the second highest in the world some of the gun boys who are coming to the USA the jamaica police can't catch them for many years when they come to the usa they came here get into gangs because leopard can't change their spot and the usa police will caught them or killed them and their rivals killed them.Some of the decent people are living in the ghettos they're afraid so they're truly running for their lives they know they're living in the ghettos which is not safe for them and the police can't protect them 24 hrs Jamaicans have reason to leave jamaica believed us the government cannot protect their citizens the guns boys are killing the innocent people them for real I don't mind they killed each who are in gangs because if you lived by the gun you die by the guns.

After nothing nah gwaan...from we a youth we know that America 🇺🇸 is landing opportunitie were we can go to make our life get better...sometimes we have to take risk to make our life get better...all Jamaican if u can reach America 🇺🇸 go ..go for better as long as u have ambition u will make it....

[@misterlexx2721]

Coming here illegally is not the answer. You can't even a bank account in North America if you are an illegal alien. I will report you to ICE.

[@Reelijontv]

Violence ,political purging,persecution ,corruption and the help party

[@sharonmclean6197]

And in America it's the same thing ,the violence here is bad that we are here and afraid to walk at night also day on the bus ,train drive by shooting..raping a lot of Jamaicans believed it's good here and they're going to work,be cause other Jamaican come an lying to them.. what's going on with these people.. America is no bed of roses so they better think again!!

[@Reliablesources802]

Are you in America?

[@SuperJoan1977]

That sounds like New York

[@bluehibiscus502]

Why don’t leave the US? Clearly you serve no good purpose there.

[@checkdilevels1180]

Every where is crime and violence...but in the US...the blatant crimes and shooting that takes place in Jamaica daily like is a frigging sport can't happen in certain neighborhoods and cities in the US. *Sidebar* one should desire to place themselves and family in the safest environment one can... and not in dangerous communities.

[@paulgrant5005]

Can you give a little talk on the Security guard them problem that they are going through

[@needhelp5279]

I watch KZbin on the Darien Gap , it's really terrible,life or death,

[@SuperJoan1977]

Can you imagine going through the Darien Gap, and when you reach the US to claim asylum, you find out you don't have a case to be granted asylum 😂😂😂😂

True i live in the usa it not easy withouts documents on social security number

[@suzyhur8161]

You're right about that! Just read an article about a JA policewoman who needs a liver transplant but can't be put on the list to get one because she is neither a US perm. resident or citizen. The hospital ER just stabilize her whenever she goes there then release her- so sad!

[@victorfearon2025]

This has been going on for a long time now , yrs now. Many have endangered their safety and lives , but I'd suggest to them 🎉think twice.

[@blairboyd5617]

Let me see if I can help that lawyer about people running away from Jamaica, because of gangs violence. I want that lawyer to know that there are more gangsters,in the United States. More than the entire population of Jamaica, there are thousands of gangs living in the United States.The majority of people leaving from Jamaica from decades,it is not any form of violence. Why they left, because the majority of people just want to left. Because they strongly believes that, there is a better jobs opportunities to make more money. Because I know several Jamaicans people,who was living in England also Canada for years and. They still migrated to the United States, so it is not only people from Jamaica is leaving their country to the United States at all. The majority of people from all over the world, is migrated to the United States. Because the majority of people strongly believes that money is on streets giving away, and it is very easy to get rich. I can tell many people who is trying to get the United States now,it is not a very nice place to lived. Because of the high cost of living is going on right now, the rent or mortgage payment is. Getting very ridiculous if you don't have any paperwork,it is very hard. Although some people know people and get a job,under the table. For what I am seeing right now,if I was living in Jamaica and. Get the chance to the United States,I wouldn't never leave right now at all. Because I have a roof over my head to live and,to be homeless in the United States. It is one of the easiest thing right now,say 25 to 30 years ago. Things was much better in the United States, anyone have any form of sense. Once you have certain amount of money, try and build a house in Jamaica and move out. Because it does not matter what kind of job that you have in the United States,it is not guaranteed at all. The majority of big companies in the United States is cutting jobs, and laying off thousands and thousands of workers. Millions of people is living on the streets, and in their vehicles. I have seeing people with hundreds of millions is, on the streets begging. Because you can have hundreds of millions in the United States and,if you gets yourself in some serious trouble. You will ending loosing everything, plus you can go through some bad divorce and loose most of what you have. The United States can make and it can, easily break you, that is one thing in life you must remember. Where you are coming from and, where you want to go in life. Because it is not an easy road to travel, but as far as what am seeing right now. The United States is broke financially,china is the world power financially right now. I know that at lot of people is not going to believe it at all, because they does not know how much money that the United States owes China, also other countries. There is a lot of countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia is dumping the United States dollar. It is really a very sad situation is going on in the United States right now, you haveto be living there. To really knows what is taking place there, people on the outside is just speculating about certain issues.

They mainly go to the same country because it is the easiest place to assimilate in due to it's diversity and large immigrant populations, especially in the big cities. In other countries they would stick out like a sore thumb, plus the immigration laws are more strict!

After they make it to their destination, most will end up living in the "shadows" without legal options to exist normally in society and no access necessities like banking, driving, legal jobs/benefits etc. It"s definitely not an easy road either way!
