Bush, Meek Exchange Barbs Over Haitians MIAMI, 1:11 p.m. EST October 30, 2002 - Gov. Jeb Bush and Congresswoman Carrie Meek traded barbs Wednesday morning, a day after more than 200 Haitian migrants were detained by immigration officials for attempting to enter the U.S. illegally after their 50-foot wooden freighter ran aground near Key Biscayne. Journey Began Eight Days Earlier The Haitian migrants' journey at sea to escape their poverty-stricken homeland began eight days earlier when the boat is believed to have left from a Haitian port. The U.S. Coast Guard spotted the 50-foot wooden vessel Tuesday and followed it for about two hours, said Coast Guard spokesman Luis Diaz. The boat ran aground about 500 yards from shore and the immigrants ran to land near Hobie Beach on Virginia Key, just southeast of Miami's downtown. Why did the coast guard wait so long. They could have done something before they reached Miami. I feel this is a political move on the President to save his brother. Dorine msnbc.com
