One thing I'm a bit annoyed at is that people think it's just generic "migrants" who are eating cats and the like. But it isn't, it's specifically Haitian migrants. And the thing is, that changes everything.
Haiti is hell on earth. It's an apocalyptic warzone where fundamental human values go by the wayside. The true stories coming from that country would make your blood run cold. Of anywhere on earth that probably should have refugees coming from there, Haiti is at the top of the list. So in that context it's perfectly reasonable to assume that the people leaving that country are some level of messed up, and that they might violate social norms most people might think are sacrosanct but really get the volume turned down in the midst of real human suffering.
Some people are pretending that it's impossible to think it could be happening and that it's inherently racist to assume it could be happening, but we are talking about a very specific situation that requires a nuanced understanding. Anyone of any race coming out of something like that is likely to be somewhat off. Look a few generations ago to the generations that kept fully stocked pantries because they were traumatized by the depression.

I was in the Dominican Republic a couple of years ago. Same island as Haiti, but it's the "nice" side. It's probably the worst shit hole I've ever been in, and I've been around a little. I experienced the most racism (I'm white, female, with poor Spanish) I've ever encountered. I was literally charged double what a black Spanish-speaker paid and was leered and jeered at on the filthy streets. They drive horribly dangerously. WHY??!! would anyone want that in our relatively nice home?
@sj_zero If you manage looking past the dietary topics, handing out cars to them might actually be the worst part about the whole story.
How in the passively genocidal hell did that happen?

Looked around about this because I hadn't heard about it before, looks like well-meaning individuals donate their cars to an organization for a warm fuzzy feeling and a tax break, and then the organization can give it to a migrant and then take a big grant from the government for the residual value of the vehicle.
Donations are what they are, but it looks like the process pays more than the overall value of the vehicle which is kinda sus.
