The unrest in Haiti has Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis taking action to protect his state:
Fox News (@FoxNews) ~ DeSantis sends soldiers, aircraft to ‘protect’ Florida from illegal immigrant boats amid Haiti unrest

Yeah, 'cuz the Haitian boat people sure as hell aren't gonna steer towards Cuba!
On the other side of the political coin, New York City Mayor Eric Adams seems to be again rolling out the red carpet (what could go wrong?). Adams even said that NYC has had a certain nickname for quite a while:
Mayor Eric Adams (@NYCMayor) ~ We call New York City the Port-Au-Prince of America. We feel the pain our Haitian neighbors feel as the situation grows dire.
To the people of Haiti and our own Haitian community here in New York City, know that we stand with you today and always.

Mayor Eric Adams (@NYCMayor) ~ If you or your family are in Haiti and are eligible for travel assistance, visit: http://mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-intake
I thought you were whining and belly-aching about being overwhelmed with foreigners, Mayor Adams? Hmmm ... I must have misunderstood. Well, okay then ... let's send another fleet of buses to NYC!
Is that really a nickname for New York City?
Sean The Producer (@SeanTheProducr) ~ Who the hell has *ever* called New York City "The Port-Au-Prince of America"?!
Clifton Duncan (@cliftonaduncan) ~ I've never heard anyone, anywhere, at any time, call NYC the Port-au-Prince of America.
Community Notes to the rescue!
Tricia McLaughlin (@TriciaOhio) ~ This community note is hilarious.
And it's well deserved.
Lizzy Lou Who (@_wintergirl93) ~ You got community noted, dumbass. 😂
It must be easier to cling to a failed ideology rather than ever admit that ideology has led to devastating consequences.
Write Girl Problems (@WriteGrlProbs) ~ I think you misheard people calling it the Port-a-potty of America.
Adams might have wanted to first run his post by the NYC Tourism & Travel Board.
NotYourJewishMom (@CaffMomREDACTED) ~ Are you barbecuing humans in the Bronx now?
Mrs. Brassenstein (@MBrassenstein) ~ Do you call it that because it's a shithole?
"New York City -- the Port Au Prince of America." Yeah, run with that advertising slogan, Mayor Adams.
Well, if any southern states see people arriving illegally from Haiti, at least they know where to send them!
Rani, Last of The Red Hot Boomers (@ShadesOfRani) ~ So, we should send any and ALL Haitian illegals to you. Good idea.
Calamity Jen (@realjenx) ~ Two minutes ago you were crying about the strain all the illegal immigrants were putting on your city and blaming Texas.
The evolution of the spin is so confusing.
