As I came across the headline about the Arizona GOP launching a billboard campaign with the message “‘EAT LESS KITTENS'”, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The sheer audacity and absurdity of such a message is not only laughable but also deeply concerning. The debunked claims that immigrants are eating pets is not only false but also draws attention to the level of ignorance and fear-mongering that seems to permeate through certain political spheres.
I found it disturbing that a political party would stoop so low as to propagate such baseless accusations, especially when it comes to demonizing immigrants.… Continue reading
The recent claim by a House Republican that immigrants are eating park ducks has left me speechless. In a time where the nation is facing real issues like school shootings that have resulted in the deaths of children and teachers, it is appalling that the focus has shifted to such a trivial and baseless accusation. It seems like a desperate attempt to deflect attention from more pressing matters and to fuel anti-immigrant sentiments.
The fact that such a ludicrous statement is even made by a public figure is concerning. It reflects a level of ignorance and prejudice that is unacceptable, especially in a position of power.… Continue reading
As an individual trying to make sense of the recent news surrounding the far-right party AfD winning a state election in Germany, I am filled with a mix of sadness and worry. The fact that AfD has become the first far-right party to achieve such a victory since the Nazi era is indeed alarming. The issue of immigration seems to have played a significant role in their growing popularity, especially after the influx of refugees in 2015. It is understandable that concerns about immigration, and its impact on safety and cultural integration, would resonate with many voters.
The rise of AfD in Germany’s east, where voters feel neglected by traditional parties, mirrors a pattern we have seen elsewhere.… Continue reading
Donald Trump claims ‘107%’ of new jobs are being taken by ‘illegal immigrants’, and I can’t help but shake my head at the sheer absurdity of this statement. As an American who was born and raised in this country, I can attest to the fact that my new hire, like myself, is a citizen of this nation. So where does this mythical ‘107%’ figure come from? It seems like Trump is just pulling random numbers out of thin air again, with no regard for basic mathematics.
The idea that ‘illegal immigrants’ are not only taking every American job but also exceeding that number by 7% is preposterous.… Continue reading
This case of a U.S. border agent accused of ordering women to show him their breasts is appalling and disturbing on so many levels. It makes me wonder how many times this agent got away with this egregious abuse of power and exploitation of vulnerable individuals. The fact that he tried to justify his actions by claiming it was part of the process to enter the United States is not only ridiculous but also deeply troubling.
The power dynamics at play here, with a male border agent using his position of authority to coerce women into exposing themselves, is a clear example of how some individuals in positions of power can abuse that power for their own gratification.… Continue reading
The recent confrontation on Fox News where a host presented a poll showing that voters mainly blame the GOP for the border crisis was both enlightening and infuriating. It brought to light the insidious tactics employed by the Republican party to manipulate and exploit the very real and pressing issue of border security for their own gain. The GOP’s agenda is crystal clear – to use the border as a political talking point to attack Democrats, rather than actually work towards finding viable solutions to the complex issue at hand.
The fact that Republicans consistently sabotage bipartisan efforts, such as the comprehensive border bill that had widespread support and could have made a real impact, is truly disheartening.… Continue reading
Unlawful border crossings have dropped for the 5th straight month, reaching the lowest level since September 2020. This news should come as a relief to those who have been concerned about the issue of illegal immigration. The fact that the number of crossings has decreased shows that progress is being made in addressing this issue. It is essential to bolster the ability to screen and process immigration legally to strengthen our position to deny unlawful entry, as these two goals go hand in hand.
Despite the positive trend of decreasing unlawful border crossings, there are still individuals who continue to perpetuate fear and misinformation about the situation.… Continue reading
France Is Busing Homeless Immigrants Out of Paris Before the Olympics
France, the City of Light, the epitome of culture and sophistication, is gearing up to host the Olympic Games in 2024. And like every other Olympic host city in recent memory, they are engaging in the age-old tradition of busing homeless immigrants out of Paris before the world turns its gaze upon them.
Before we start wagging our fingers and decrying the French for this move, we must acknowledge that this practice is not unique to Paris. In fact, it is practically a rite of passage for any city that has the honor of hosting the Olympics.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent statement blaming immigrants for taking ‘Black jobs’ is not only racially charged but also grossly inaccurate. The term ‘Black jobs’ itself raises eyebrows and insinuates a segregation of the workforce based on race, which is archaic and unacceptable. As someone who believes in equality and meritocracy, such divisive language is disheartening to hear coming from the leader of a country as diverse as the United States.
The concept that immigrants are taking low-skill jobs from African Americans is a long-held argument that has been debunked by many economists. The truth is, employees do not ‘take jobs’ – they are hired and fired by employers based on a variety of factors.… Continue reading
Trump’s latest strategy to attack Biden at the upcoming debate is nothing short of vile. By planning to highlight horrific murders allegedly committed by undocumented migrants and blaming them on President Biden, Trump is sinking to a new low. His attempt to use the tragic death of a 12-year-old Texas girl as political ammunition is disgusting, to say the least.
The fact that Trump telegraphed this coming assault on his Truth Social feed gives the Biden campaign time to prepare a response. With crime levels decreasing in cities that have received the most migrants, Trump’s claims of a migrant crime wave are not supported by national data.… Continue reading
