Here we go folks! Reading HB23-1100 on the floor @lorenaforsenate @NaquettaR intro the bill on the floor this morning
YES on HB23-1100 - it is not a state value to make profit off of immigrants that happen to be brought to a prison because of IGSA contract #copolitics

Alright folks! We heard two racist remarks already!
Rep. Holtorf is pleading that we consider Teller county - where they are making .01% off keeping immigrants in prison who are awaiting immigration cases
YES on 1100 #EndTheContract #copolitics

Other then Teller County just wanting to make $ off the back of immigrants in a IGSA contractual hosting facility - which has been an avenue to shipping immigrants farther from where they are in the first place

"Sometime a labor I would like to see legal, we're making illegal. We're doing two things. We're creating a society of really honorable, decent, loving people that are in violation of the law, and exacerbating relations with Mexico. -George Bush 1980

They have a problem with 40-50% unemployment. Now this cannot continue without the possibility arising where can we have trouble below the border and we can have a hostile and strange neighbor to the south" -Ronald Regean 1980
As was customary in a time of intelligence they suggested solutions.
George Bush suggested improving relations as these were good, strong and caring people.
Reagen said "Rather than talking abojt putting up a fence, why dont we work out an understanding of our mutual problems"..

🧵#FBA tweets are purposely written in terms of conflict & competition. The white replacement framing isn't accidental. Theyre fixated on points of Black 🇺🇲/ Black 🇺🇲immigrant tension? Each tweet searchs for a conflict storyline with the diaspora.
Never with white immigrants..
Never with white immigrants..
White conservative anti-immigrant groups intent on driving a wedge between the "diaspora.” are paying #FBA #FREEDMEN #ADOS influencers to manipulate the Black American social media users. Steve Bannon admits the goal has always been to split the vote & drive up Dem unfavorables.
Racists have always used Blacks when influencing African American public opinion. Twitter is the perfect aggregator and carnival mirror. Let's look at the dual purpose of Marcel Dixon for Congress served as a tether for White Supremacy, but also a litmus test to see if
Excited to release our latest @BU_Law #immigrants' rights & human trafficking #clinic report on the Institutional Hearing Program ("IHP"), a little known program that quickly, and quietly, #deports noncitizens convicted of crimes. THREAD 1/

For more than 40 years, IHP has been operating in the shadows, yet another branch of the vast #ICE #enforcement regime. IHP operates at least across 19 states, #deporting noncitizens who are unlikely to be represented by counsel. 2/
Our report is a snapshot of how this little studied program operates to swiftly deport #immigrants across New England. Here's some of what we found. 3/

かの名作のドキュメンタリーを最近よく観る。コッポラ、パチーノのインタビューが面白い。パチーノはほとんどクビにされかかっていたらしい。監督のコッポラだけがマイケル・コルレオーネ役には彼しかいないと信じてくれたのだと。そのあとは歴史が教えてくれる。
コッポラにもパチーノにも拍手。

1. TONIGHT on the @PBS @NewsHour: Imagine working 48 years to build a career as a top doctor only to be forced to give it all up in hopes to move to another country (where you are unqualified to practice) just so your daughters can get educated? #Afghanistan #Afghanwomen #pbsnews
2. That's the choice many professionals in #Afghanistan have to make right now. In 2019 we at @NewsHour profiled the incredible Dr Shefajo, a top gynecologist. "My daughters want to be doctors," she told me then. Now, her eldest is not even allowed in school as per #Taliban rules
3. Forced to choose between staying in #Afghanistan where her patients and the hospital she built from scratch are, and getting her older daughter into a classroom where she belongs, the Dr risks leaving everything behind to become unemployable abroad.
After 4 years of constant struggle, last week, my wife and I became US permanent residents. The #immigration process emotionally exhausted us. We both came to the US 9 years back, are @MIT graduates and economically privileged. Still, the process made us feel small and desperate.
Overall, the lawyer fees and applications costed us ~$15,000. The documents submitted to USCIS amounted to more than 1,000 pages. My total exchanges with attorneys over the 4 years amount to more than 103,000 words (yes, it is a 6-figure number, I checked it).
I personally spent probably ~400 hours to complete the paperwork over the years. Spread over 4 years, this may not sound like a lot, but this does not include the time spent worrying about the results, worrying about changes to USCIS rules, checking case updates.

How the European Union puts borders before lives. Refugees are the ones in need of protection, not EU’s borders. A thread on what you need to know about EU migration, their externalized borders, and overall complacency in upholding border imperialism #MigrationKorbelDU #Migration
Rhetoric in the news and media portrays #immigrants as a security threat, using words like “illegal” and “alien”. Harsh rhetoric has continued since the 2015 influx of migrants. Attitudes towards migrants and the security threat label is used as a justification for funding.
European Border and Coast Guard Agency @Frontex is the EU agency responsible for border control of the Schengen area. Funding for Frontex has raised from €143 million in 2015 to €543 million in 2021. Frontex has failed to protect the rights of migrants.

Announcement from @fordnation sank my heart today. As an ER doctor, person of color and #Scarborough native, I feel defeated 😢. The measures are not going to get wave 3 under control. #BIPOC #ERdoc @SHNcares @torontolife @JustinTrudeau @SCMirror 1/
When I landed as an #immigrant in #Canada, my life started in #Scarborough. My parents (#heros) struggled to find jobs that matched their education. That didn't stop them from working hard / hustling even if it meant 2 jobs at times to keep bills paid and food on the table. 2/
My family lived in an apt building that had mostly racialized/middle-low income families (#affordability). Not much social distancing when large crowds wait for elevators (#EssentialWorkers) or use the shared laundry facilities. This pandemic brings back those vivid memories 3/
thrilled to be publishing "Public Health and the Power to Exclude: Immigrant Expulsions at the Border" with @gulcimmigration & the wonderful @prashasti_b. this piece argues for an end to #Title42, an illegal policy destroying families, and endangering #refugees at the #border. 1/
My piece beings by examining the historic intersections of public health and #immigration law, and the origins of federal quarantine and exclusion power. 2/
Woven into the article are first hand accounts of advocates on both sides of the #border who have witnessed the devastating impact of COVID-19 era immigrant expulsions as #immigrants, children and families are disappeared by the US gov't. 3/

Yesterday as I was coming back from my family home,
I went to buy Garri for my fisherman’s soup I had prepared.
Pulling N1,000 to give the seller, behind me was an old woman of about 85 years or more untying her handkerchief and bringing out N100 for how many cups of Garri?

Answer – one.
Now, how do you explain the fact that a cup of Garri moved from 3 cups to 1 cup? How do these kinds of mothers survive?
At a point, I started being enraged because the matter was all over my head, but I had to tame my emotions and said to myself,

Obviously, the vast majority of #immigrants are not going to design vaccines that potentially can bail us out of this #corona misery.
Still, what strikes me in success stories like these is how many successful immigrants or their parents weren't exceptional when they came. 3/8
