Here Comes The Migrant Caravans!

The far right hate migrants.
You can't have it both ways!

The far right were upset over the pandemic restrictions and wanted it to end. Well, it appears that Title 42 is ending. It was a health emergency imposed by Washed Up 45 during the coronavirus pandemic. It kept asylum seekers out of the country. It ended on Thursday and those leaving countries of violence are seeking asylum,

The Republicans are saying the migrants are threatening the "way of life."

The far right and those liars on Fox are stroking up the "migrant caravans" again.

Stories from Fox claiming that migrants are ordering DoorDash is an example of the fearmongering and racism that exists on that network.

Last time I've checked, DoorDash is available in many countries including Mexico.

Anyway, people seeking refuge in the United States are being vilified by Republicans, some Democrats and the junk food media. Texas Republican governor Greg Abbott once again sent three charter buses to Washington, DC to drop off migrants near Vice President Kamala Harris' home at the Naval Observatory. 

His latest stunt is prime example of how white extremists are reacting to a browner America.

Republicans have no solutions to solving the immigration issue. All they got is basically reactionary responses to problems that are being solved. They seized drugs and detained migrants with criminal history. They treat it like it is a bad thing.

They are claiming the U.S.-Mexican border isn't safe. 

Okay, traveling across the Rio Grande River, walking into the deserts of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, swimming in shark and jellyfish waters of the Pacific Ocean, facing the threats of wolves, coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, bears, alligators and crocodiles, the heat, the cold and possible gang violence.... not safe.

The U.S. Border Patrol is understaffed. No one wants to work for less than $45,000 and work a job that requires 24/7 work especially on holidays. Overtime could impact bodies and mental health. They are not robots and they have to sleep, eat and maintain a life.

The Congress can't pass a budget that staffs the border. They refuse to pass immigration reform which streamlines migrants for temporary asylum and eventually an opportunity to become U.S. citizens.

The National Border Patrol Council, a union organization that supported Washed Up 45 in 2016 and 2020 were pissed that Title 42 expired. The union boss is blaming President Joe Biden for the invasion.

“This is by far the worst sustained disaster that any BP agent, active or retired, has ever seen at our border,” the service’s official union tweeted just before Title 42 ended at midnight.

“And one man is responsible for every single bit of it, with the worst still to come,” the NBPC wrote alongside a photo of a smiling Biden.

“The Biden Administration is absolutely corrupt to its core,” the union alleged.

Again fearmongering with words like invasion.

This type of stuff led to a man intentionally running over migrants in Brownsville.

The type of stuff that led a man commit a mass shooting in an El Paso Walmart in 2019.

The type of stuff that led to a man who shot innocent shoppers at an outlet mall in Allen.

In general, illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America come to the U.S. as they flee from insecurity and violence in their own country (i.e. forced recruitment in gangs). or in search for better economic opportunities. However, it sometimes also occurs due to political oppression.

From Asia, they come for economic reasons but some come involuntarily as sex slaves or indentured servants.

From Sub-Saharan Africa, the majority come for economic activities. 

From Eastern Europe, they primarily come for economic activities and to rejoin family already in the United States. Like other regions, there are also some who come involuntarily as part of the sex industry.

The disease of White supremacy exists in the U.S., Canada, Norway, Sweden, Great Britain, Russia, France, Greece, Germany, Italy and Belgium. They are being radicalized by far right noise on many media platforms. It's dangerous to everyone.

People of color, migrants, those in the LGBTQ community and women are under attack.

The Republicans are feeding off extremism and relish in stroking violence.
