  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

From the article in the OP:

"Migrant crossings through Panama’s Darien Gap have fallen by 99 percent since President Trump took office.

According to data provided by the Department of Homeland Security to The New York Post, a meagre 408 migrants were reported traveling through the Panamanian jungle path in February.

This is a 99 percent decrease on February 2024, when crossings peaked at 37,166."



The number of migrants crossing the Darien Gap had already fallen from 37,166 in February 2024 to 4,849 in December 2024. An 87% drop in crossings during the Biden administration. So from February 2024 through February of 2025, less than 13% of the 99% drop in migrant crossings occurred since Trump became president.
