Big problems on the ferry from Freeport to Florida — announcement just made that any Bahamian without a visa must now get off. This is not normal. Nornally Bahamians can travel to USA with passport and a printout of their police record. This is a mess.

1. The cruelty hits another low. What can be done for these

people?

[shraby]

2. By the looks of the Bahamas, it's beyond me how they can find any papers they have.

[Blue_playwright]

10. That was my first thought

How the heck are they supposed to *have* any papers? This should be a no brainer.

[Maraya1969]

43. Me Too. Unless they were given good instructions before the storm on how to protect these things

[captain queeg]

3. WTF?

[BigmanPigman]

4. Is this fucked up or is this fucked up?!?!?

[malaise]

5. Very fucked up

[yuiyoshida]

23. Totally fucked up...

Trump must think the Bahamas is a "shit hole" country... 愚かなろくでなし!

[sharedvalues]

6. Abolish ICE

[sheshe2]

11. Abolish TRUMP.

[salin]

7. Because that is the document (if I had one) I grabbed when taking all that I could hold in my hands

as evacuating my home, and/or because I easily have the documents needed (that I grabbed while evaculating) to apply for a Visa ... and the office to apply is likely.... also evacuated.

The policy folks (and their pres) are sadists.

[uponit7771]

8. ICE has become an organization for cruelty

[gademocrat7]

9. Horrific treatment of hurricane victims.

ICE should be disbanded.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Stephen.Fucking.Miller

If not directly, then as fallout to the policies he has managed to get Trump to establish.

[Peace06]

18. Stinky

So true! You know it was Millers idea and Taliban trump loved it. May they both rot in hell.

[thenelm1]

20. Little Stevie's got a big stiffy right now. You can bet on it - he gets off on the cruelty. /nt

[George II]

13. This is beyond despicable. I hope there is a special room in Hell for this beast.

[real Cannabis calm]

14. recommended to publicize

[Peace06]

15. No VISA

NO! Tell me it's not so! This is unbelievable. Can someone help these people? I guess we should have expected the hatred and cruelty by now. God save us from this evil or whatever higher power, if any, you believe in, please get this monster GONE!

[James48]

16. Brown skin.

End of message.

[snacker]

19. Yup.

[Demovictory9]

17. not surprised. singular priority of Trump -,,, keep brown/black people out

[littlemissmartypants]

21. After all of the terrifying trama and hardship they have already experienced

This is the type of thing that can push someone over the edge. Many of them are probably still in shock.

It's a shame Frumpy doesn’t have a sharpie he can use to draft an executive order for these people.

The cruelty is the point.

Here's another important point:

The era of the Climate Change Refugee has begun.

Billions will be on the move in the coming century due to the worship of fossil fuel profit margins.

22. Is there no end to Trump/Stephen Miller's cruelty?

Your in the middle of a cat 5 hurricane or its aftermath and your are supposed to find your visa?

[yuiyoshida]

24. I seriously hope both Trump and

Stephen Miller end up in Prison in Guantanamo Bay.

[Botany]

25. What I could do with Mr. Miller I can't post

Miller & Trump Fascist bastards who are using alt right racism for political power.

[yuiyoshida]

27. I am there with you...

May they both boil in Oil for eternity.

[Takket]

26. what does the law say??????????

If the law says you don't need a visa how can the white house just call and change it??????????????????

This needs and emergency injunction from ACLU NOW

[yuiyoshida]

28. The Trump administration does not care about laws...

obviously... BUT its the fucking Senate, and the Republican party needs to be blamed for going along with this ASS CLOWN..

[world wide wally]

29. This has gone so far beyond any kind of "national security"

This is pure, blatant racism out in the open.
Period.

[Mr.Bill]

30. They probably don't have the cages constructed yet. n/t

[area51]

31. Sickening.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Add to the list...how trump has changed our country. #impeach

[Olafjoy]

33. Horrific

Like turning away the Jews during WW2. It is a humanitarian crisis there. We are 50 miles away. We can’t help by taking evacuees? How about women and children? The elderly and fragile? No?
I wish I lived in Florida and had a boat. Mercy! Mercy PLEASE for these suffering people!

[Guilded Lilly]

34. Abhorrent. The Cretin and his thugs have destroyed decency.

[bullwinkle428]

35. GODDAMMIT. The other day, I made a snarky remark about how Chump and his

little cabana boy Miller would make things difficult for the Bahamians, as they probably view them as being from a "shit-hole country", and sure enough, he's proving me correct.

[mountain grammy]

36. Are we, every single one of us, contacting

every single one of our representatives and the White House. Bombard them..

[Jirel]

37. Abhorrent.

Most of those people probably have no papers at all, fleeing completely destroyed homes. How are they supposed to request a visa on a flooded island with no working electricity or communications to speak of? Dump’s administration are criminals of the worst kind.

[AJT]

38. This terrible but I am not understanding why this presented as an anomaly.

If you normally have to have a visa and police record print out to get into the US from the Bahamas why does the tweet say that it isn't normal to have them removed from the boat if they don't have a visa?

Big problems on the ferry from Freeport to Florida — announcement just made that any Bahamian without a visa must now get off. This is not normal. Nornally Bahamians can travel to USA with passport and a printout of their police record. This is a mess.

[a la izquierda]

40. A passport. They need a passport.

A passport and a visa are not the same things.

[roamer65]

39. The Bahamas should immediately accept Chinese assistance and loans.

Fuck the United States.

[diva77]

41. I'll be calling my congressperson about this tomorrow.

K&R for exposure

[DFW]

42. The sadistic cruelty that has become the norm for this administration will stain the USA for decades

History will remember us for this period as one where our nation passively accepted abandoning the last pretense of greatness, and the beginning of a deliberate, incomprehensible, and totally unnecessary turn in the direction of decline.
