I find it difficult to see the difference between a migrant crossing the US / Mexico border with the casual tacit assistance of the Mexican government ( that does happen ) any different than a migrant crossing the New York border with the assistance of Governor Abbott.
I know Maduro is an awful leader, but the US has imposed severe economic sanctions on Venezuela for years. The other top origin of migrants recently is Cuba. But how often does any reporting put 2+2 together and consider US foreign policy as a driver of the crisis?
Always remember and never forget:
The cruelty is the entire point.
Abbot and Trump can only smile.
Sad story but I do think that many migrants are being sold a false story about what is waiting for them in the U.S.
Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor - Iâll piss on 'em
Thatâs what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, letâs club 'em to death
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

Dirty Boulevard
All this from the party that wraps itself in the cloak of Christianity.
yes, they are. the fable that the USA is nirvana[?] is sold all over the world, when the reality is that the migrants are on their ownm once they get here.the do-gooders are the worse of the lot⌠they leave their mini-mansions,take stale bread etc. to the humgry migrants and then pat them selves on the back for their good deed.
Another signifier thatâs becoming little more than an âin groupâ/âout groupâ marker.
When people are desperate and their family is in danger, they will grasp at any straw.
Christianity is an evil, fascist money cult. This much is obvious. Next time youâre in the presence of one of these Jesus freak fuckwits, ask them to recite the Beatitudes, the lessons their blonde, blue-eyed white Jesus gave them to live by. They wonât know a fucking word of it, much less live by them. Fuck christians and their cult.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousnessâ sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Funny that no one seems all that concerned that one of the largest contingents of illegal aliens in NYC are Irish who overstayed their visas. 90% of the cute ginger waitresses at Irish bars in New York are here illegally. But cute white girl versus sweaty brown man. Gee, what could color the rightâs rage?
Hahaha. Itâs so funny that you think reality matters any longer. This country is packed with entitled illiterate ignorant racist twats who worship a deity who tells them to go out and murder people who disagree with them. You really think telling these same imbeciles that US foreign policy is the cause of the scary swarm of brown people coming to steal their jobs and rape their daughters? Câmon. These fucking people canât understand 7th grade algebra, or the constitution or the way voting works.
This country loves the immigrant ideal. It really has never liked immigrants in reality.
So in fact all of the immigrants bused to democratic cities were in fact let in by republicans to use as reelection tools.
Thereâs a lot of truth to that. My parents both ran into discriminatory behavior over the years, from being outright denied jobs to being treated as dolts because they had an accent. And they were white, northern Europeans.
That would require critical thinking skills, which as we all know is âwokeâ indoctrination.
They may be aware of the Beatitudes, but the Evangelical way is the same as the rest of the Bible.
