So Washington Post reporting they had $16,000 cash on them. 

 

They were on the run. Pure and simple. 

I immediately knew something was up when not one but two of them weren't able to get ESTA.

My husband has done time in prison here in the US. In fact, he has been in a few jails and prisons as they tend to get moved around. Every single one was kept at a cold temperature, he always tells me. Apparently people are less aggressive when they are cold. Also they are big rooms with little furniture and no carpet. Move all the furniture and carpets out of your house and you’ll think it’s cold. 

 

So this is the only part of their story that I actually believe. 

i worked in a county  jail. they make the temperature colder deliberately and alter sleeping pattern of inmates to make them more docile and compliant.

Yep, that’s what my husband said too. Whenever he complains about how things were in jail and prison I just say “well that’s a good reason to make sure you don’t go back again”.

I was thinking of posting this yesterday but I got busy. Nothing about this story as presented by that hack at the WP passes the sniff test.

 

A really interesting wrinkle to the NYT version of this story that the WP completely failed to mention was that Canada refused to readmit them.

 

Like, say what? That's kinda relevant. It might even be the whole (removed) story.

 

It's pretty freakin' sad when the NY freakin' T is the balanced reasonable coverage. Every other paper on the planet just reprinted the WP hack job verbatim.

Aquaman had asked for his pay before sending his country's outcasts to their fishing line. 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
