The Haitian’s Journey | Mask Mandates

The Haitian’s Journey to a Better Life

America is known as the land of opportunity, which is why so many from different countries decide to take a chance and come here. Just recently, over 15,000 Haitians left their native land with only the clothes on their backs. Many of them took the journey by foot, crossing through and around 11 countries while others traveled by plane or bus as they made their way to what many felt would be a new beginning. 

Through misinformation about their chances of asylum, many were blocked at the border in Texas. After several days, some were denied entry into the United States, while others were deported back to Haiti, leaving only a few thousand access to stay in America.

Many Americans were puzzled to learn the desperation and the determination the Haitians endured by escaping from Haiti, a country that is in disarray, with uninhabitable conditions and politically corrupt leaders offering little protection for their people.

Mask Mandate

Heading almost 2 years into the pandemic, the science has shown that wearing a face mask will help protect you from and reduce your chances of contracting the Covid-19 virus. Yet debating & complaining about mask mandates in schools, grocery stores and restaurants is still a thing. Many parents are upset that their kids are forced to wear a face mask while in school. Some don’t care that the mask saves lives, nor are they listening to the “Science”.

We have to do better when it comes to fighting this virus. As of today, over 4.7 million people have died from Covid globally. If we continue to go against the “Science”, things will not get better, and what has now become the Delta Variant will continue to mutate.
