An not going to lie but as a Haitian, I feel humiliated when I saw the many news reports about those illegal Haitian migrants that ended up in Texas.
From the many Haitian news I watch and read these migrates are largely from Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. That ended up in those countries after the 2010 Haitian earthquake.
But they idolize the USA so much that they couldnβt stay in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico or even go back home. They all had decent lives in those countries but no they want to come to the USA and Canada.
Now all of the 10,000 migrants are getting deported back to Haiti. I find that it so funny and humiliated.
Am not being cruel at all. Let me tell you guys about Haiti a little bit.
Haiti is actually one of the safest country in the Caribbean and Latin America. As long as you donβt live in some neighborhoods in the capital gang crime doesnβt reach you at all. The rest of Haitian cities are relatively peaceful. Compare that to those gangs control areas they had to walk to reach the USA.
Haitian are not escaping violence, lack of money, or hunger. They just all want to strike it rich lol. Thinking if they ended up in the USA they will strike gold.

If you are, they are needing fans to drop a line to KHOU Channel 11 requesting the station to move the show to a better permanent time slot. Ch 11 has had the show on their schedule on Saturdays at 5:30p. It is bumped for sports almost every single Saturday and has aired maybe 2 times all year. So it is effectively not on in Houston for all intents and purposes unlike in every other tv market in Texas.
Ch 11 has aired the show at 9:00a on Saturday for the past two weeks so maybe they are listening to requests. More viewer mails might convince them to make the time slot move permanent and basically save the show for Houston.
The producers say Houston is the ONLY city in Texas that does not seek out or air the show in a useful time slot. They have been having trouble getting a Houston station to carry the show at a good time with consistency. This is a shame bc it really is a great program loved by a lot of Texans for over 40 years.
Texas Country Reporter is a long running Texas based travel and personal interest show that visits interesting places and people of all walks of life all over the state.

EDIT (4:50pm ET): Thanks y'all! This was a great experience. Signing off for now, but stay in the loop with our reporting at https://www.twitter.com/SuzyKhimm and https://www.twitter.com/renLarson_
Hi Reddit, we're Suzy Khimm, national investigative reporter for NBC News, and Ren Larson, data reporter for the Texas Tribune + ProPublica investigative unit, to continue the conversation about our story βTexas Enabled the Worst Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Catastrophe in Recent U.S. History.β
We'll be here Thursday at 3pm ET to answer your questions.
Our reporting for NBC News, ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, showed how Texas is one of just six states lacking statewide requirements for carbon monoxide detectors in homes, and the state legislature has failed multiple times to protect residents against this invisible gas.
February's freeze and power outages led to more than 1,400 carbon monoxide poisonings and more than a dozen deaths β disproportionately affecting Black, Hispanic, and Asian Texans.
