And, you know, historically, there was a movement of Haitian laborers from Haiti to the DR who would come for the safra, which is the sugarcane cutting season.
And then they would leave after about six months.
But as the border hardened,
Those people had to make a decision whether they stayed in Haiti or stayed in a place where they could get work.
And a lot of them decided that they had to stay in the places where they could get work.
Yeah, yeah.
Much the same as it is in the United States, right?
Like a lot of seasonal agricultural laborers would have done the same.
Of course.
Yeah, it reminded me kind of that guy you're saying who popped back the next day over the river reminded me of that Woody Guthrie song where he's talking about the...
the Los Gatos Canyon plane crash and how all those people had, many of those people had traveled multiple times from their homes in Mexico to the US whenever
there was an expense so they couldn't cover with like whatever they could sell from their estancia, right?
They would come, come across and labor or young people come across and labor in order to like establish themselves in life and then go back.
And then if they needed, they had an expense, their children, but they would come back and labor some more or some people would just come back and labor for a year.
And then one time on the way back, their plane crashed and they all died.
Like,
It's, uh, yeah, it's so much needless suffering that happens because of borders.
It's rough to think about people in those detention centers.
Like that always kind of makes me sad having spent a lot of time around them.
It's pretty fucking miserable in there.
