You suggested alternate transportation.Not sure what you meant by that, but whatever.
Either way, there was no horse involved.

You suggested alternate transportation.
I was reminded of Ahmaud Arbery.
Why? Was the guy he grabbed a shotgun from and tried to use it against on a horse?
Alternate transportation.
Yes. Tough questions.
So I said:But since the horses are the big issue when it comes to mode of transportation when dealing with Haitians versus other nationalities, please tell us which mode would be appropriate when dealing with Haitians. How about ATV's? Or maybe motorcycles?
Since this is the Mexican border, there may be Mexicans and people from Guatemala trying to sneak across. Which mode of transportation would be acceptable in your eyes when dealing with them? Can we go back to horses? How about Camels?
I said that because YOU suggested alternate forms of transportation to chase people. I said it reminded me of Ahmaud AuberyMaybe even pick-up trucks?
So I replied Alternate transportation.Why? Was the guy he grabbed a shotgun from and tried to use it against on a horse?
I have already said I think it is dehumanizing.Yes, it is.
If it's not ok with you, then let's hear the reason. However, I'll tell you in advance that, "I don't like the way it looks" isn't a good reason.
You would not want it done to you.Um, why is this an issue? Is this a sporting event where you have to give the illegal people an advantage? I don't think so.
One of those "You can't make this stuff up" stories.......
"Border patrol agents will be banned from using horses in Del Rio, Texas, the Biden administration announced Thursday, after viral photos showed agents on horseback capturing immigrants who crossed the border illegally.
Initial reports indicated agents were using whips on the migrants, though that was later debunked. But conerns over the photos came up during the White House press briefing this week.
"One, we feel those images are horrible and horrific," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday. "I can also convey to you that [Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas] conveyed to civil rights leaders earlier this morning that we will no longer be using horses in Del Rio."
Biden decision to ban horses for border patrol draws backlash from Republicans
Civil rights? Since when does a horse violate someone's civil rights?
Will police officers also no longer be allowed to use police cars on city streets, given that they give an unfair advantage to criminals who are on foot?
But the Haitians ARE black. And That IS the issue.
The issue is only the Haitians were hunted with horses and whips. THAT didn't happen with the other migrants. I cannot help to believe skin color has something to do with the difference.
I do! I said them. I meant them.
By men on horseback. And that's ok with you?
You suggested alternate transportation.
I have already said I think it is dehumanizing.

The stupidity of these people has no bounds. I was far more concerned with the amount of people trying to get across the border than I was with the horses. The shear amou t of people in comparison to thos trying to stop them was pitiful.
Those poor border patrol were showing an effort of futility. The Biden Administration had deliberately chosen to allow this.
So before I read the thread....how many here got duped into thinking that people were "whipped"?
The video of the incident has been released....not a single whipping takes place.
What is interesting to me is the whips and ropes were used only against the Haitian migrants.It is reminiscent of the catching of runaway slaves or cattle. It is dehumanizing. I know some people do not see anything wrong with using horses in this manner but they should check themselves, especially if they name themselves Christians.
Maybe Haiti should be abandoned all the people move to the U.S. might be better that no one will have problems.
