No matter what one's views on immigration is, one universal truth should be adhered to by everyone around the world.
Those looking to emigrate into another country are human beings, not animals. They deserve to be treated like human beings, not cattle or horses being corralled by "individuals" on horseback with whip-like rein devices as recent pictures from Del Rio, Texas have revealed. t
The images of these Border Patrol Agents, officials of the American Government treating Haitian migrants like animals, is truly repulsive and disgusting.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki rightly called the actions "brutal and inappropriate."
Of course, these migrants should be vetted and medically examined (there is still a COVID 19 pandemic in this country and around the world despite Republican efforts to ignore it) before entering the country to start the immigration process.
Some, with no valid reason to come to the United States, should be sent back to their native country.
But no one should be treated like dirt, animals, or second-class individuals or families when trying to find a new life in the United States.
That is not the American Dream these people are looking for.
Hopefully, the Biden/Harris Administration will fire the people shown in the photographs (according to reporting, they have been placed on desk duty) and ensure regulations are followed that provide for a secure and safe vetting process while treating everyone with dignity and respect.
