On Fox News Chanel they said illegal immigrants are coming through CR on the way to USA because Mr. Biden is letting them all in. IF this is true are they causing any problems like blocking traffic on the roads or spreading Covid?

... And as for spreading Covid...far more likely to be happening in the US, so I wouldn't be worried about would be immigrants. Just go to Florida. The would be immigrants should be worried about going into the US because of Covid, not the other way around.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Very painful that it was preventable. May his soul rest and you find solace.

I'd suggest we keep the discussion in scope with CRT's favorite topic - women in Costa Rica.

More recently there have been Haitians going to various countries maybe including Costa Rica, where they can enter without special visas. They then are trying to go to the US. But I doubt that they are planning on walking from there, and especially from Colombia where many have gone. I doubt that there are any big groups of them that would be on the roads or anything like that. And as for spreading Covid...far more likely to be happening in the US, so I wouldn't be worried about would be immigrants. Just go to Florida. The would be immigrants should be worried about going into the US because of Covid, not the other way around.

It happened more pre-COVID than it does now, although it was never anything close to the numbers coming out of Nicaragua or El Salvador. Panama had fairly lenient entry requirements for people from the Caribbean and then they would make their way north. I know a cute young Cubanita that I met in Panama City who made her way through Costa Rica, up north into Mexico, then crossed the border as a refugee into Texas. She's now living in Newark. So yeah, it happens, but it's not a flood by any means.

As for liberal Canadian...I'm not...liberal that is. As for Covid in Florida and in migrants... the central american migrants at some point probably did have lots of Covid. And so does Florida. I am a bit sensitive about the anti-vax and anti public health measures people. My brother in law died of Covid last Monday night... anti-vax victim. I wish I could have talked to him about it when there was time...but I never had the chance. And he probably would not have gotten a vaccination anyway. But I have no doubt he would have survived Covid had he been vaccinated. His buddies and lots in the area are big into anti-vax stuff...too late now.

They are on their way. https://www.breitbart.com/border/2021/0 ... ng-to-u-s/ If you have a welfare state with open borders, it can only stay solvent for so long.

As a Floridian, I can say the Canadian is right and you are wrong on this particular issue. Although Florida's COVID caseload is trending sharply down in the last few weeks, a few weeks ago we had over 20K new Covid cases PER DAY. Not to mention a huge number of people in Florida act as if the pandemic was over, no need to mask up or social distance, and let's not even mention the anti vaxxers! This is a thread that already started badly and will only go downhill. Politics + idealogy + FauxNews + alternative "facts" are always a toxic mix. I'd suggest we keep the discussion in scope with CRT's favorite topic - women in Costa Rica.

To respond to the OP's original post, there are no discernable impacts of immigration here. No protests, no roadblocks. Vaccination continues with the local population. Plenty of warm, inviting arms waiting when the time is right for you to come get away from the North American rat race and media bombardment. Local TV does not even run Fox or MSNBC. Come down for a week, avoid US politics, news, and culture. Let your mind and body relax. Be aware that airfares will spike around Thanksgiving and between mid-December and mid-January. BTW, Air Canada resumes flights from Toronto to SJO on October 13.

I confess not to know, but I read many of the Costa Rica news outlets on the web, I don't see a single story about massive waves of any immigrants coming through the country. If thousands of people were to burst into Costa Rica headed north from Panama, it would be major news.

Let's all keep politics out of our site... I understand people strident about their leftist political views desperately try to dismiss Fox News, often they confuse the opinions of the myriad of conservative commentators with the real news reporters who I have observed do an excellent job (as per their ratings) exposing hypocrisy of those with those views, and more often than not have evidence and facts to back up their claims. I say truly intelligent people watch all sorts of news sources, left and right leaning, and if lucky, try to find some just doing an honest job of reporting the news, to get all opinions and diverse viewpoints on any subject, and do their best to gleam reality from whichever one has evidence, not opinions.

I am very sorry to hear about your brother in law Zeos. Over the weekend the Director of our Parks Dept. in a town north of DAL passed away due to complications from CV19. This after a lengthy hospital stay (nearly 2 months). Looking at his LinkedIn he was in his early 50s. I'm thinking he chose not to receive the vax but is all our own choice.

On this topic I wanted to ask if any of you know of any Costa Ricans that have recently made the land trek to immigrate into the U.S.? Is it better to be poor but happy living in Pura Vida or make that money in U.S. but pay a whole lot more for housing and live in a rat race?
