Haitianische Migranten in den USA: Die rassistischen Gerüchte
Add #Sylacauga ("SILL-ah-KA-gah") #Alabama to the list of towns where #Haitian #immigrants were brought in and dumped in the middle of the night:
Sylacauga City council member Laura Barlow Heath, in a video interview, said the city officials have no answers from federal authorities to give to their constituents.
.
“There is a fear here of becoming the next #Springfield, #Ohio, you know,” she said.
.
“When is enough enough? When do they stop coming in? How many are there going to be? There’s no answers. We have none. The unknown and uncertainty is scary. We have 12,236 people in our community, and we just do not have the adequate resources to handle an influx of migrants. It’s going to take away from resources that are already struggling here.”
.
Heath has served on the council since 2020.
.
The council dismissed a meeting earlier this month after only 20 minutes following questions from several residents about recent Haitian immigration to the area.
.
Several residents said they wanted to know how the city knew workers coming there were legal immigrants, who had determined this, and what effect they were having on #crime and #housing.
Also add #Athens Alabama and #Albertville Alabama to the list with an immigrant dumping problem: https://www.al.com/news/2024/08/busing-of-migrant-workers-to-alabama-poultry-plant-sparks-baseless-accusations-and-hurtful-rhetoric.html?_sp=9a39c6be-6aac-4c4f-88fa-453976aa825c.1725304070871
Last week, photographs of people entering and exiting charter buses in Albertville were shared on Facebook, with users questioning what purpose the buses served, who was on them, and where they were coming from.
.
Albertville police notified the public through Facebook late last week that the buses were transporting workers.
.
“We have contacted the bus company in question and they advised us that they have been contracted by a local company to transport workers to and from work,” the department stated.
...
Albertville city leaders also released a statement, saying they wanted to “make it abundantly clear that Albertville is not a #sanctuarycity, has never received funding to harbor individuals from any country, nor have any of our elected officials been involved in such activities.”
.
Immigration for years has a hot-button issue in Albertville, a Marshall County city of almost 23,000 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which lists four poultry processing businesses on its city website as its largest employers, with almost 4,000 workers total among them. Approximately 6,400 residents of Albertville are identified as Hispanic, as of 2022 census figures.
In Athens Alabama: https://www.rocketcitynow.com/article/news/local/city-athens-police-respond-community-comments-haitian-immigrants/525-d40a7cf8-f214-4ee1-aebb-05151d67033d
This comes from a statement from the city of #Athens in response to some residents taking to social media and city council meetings to express their thoughts on the recent arrival of immigrants from #Haiti in North Alabama.
.
City officials say that federal officials have told them that that there are new immigrants from Haiti with federal work permits in the area, and they are here working legally in Alabama. Businesses in North Alabama have hired them and, in some cases, have hired buses to take them to work sites.

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance are
continuing to repeat racist comments about Haitian immigrants living in
Springfield, Ohio, including false claims about immigrants eating cats
and dogs. During an interview on CNN, Vance admitted he was willing to
"create stories."
Sen. JD Vance: "The American media totally ignored this stuff until
Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes. If I have to -"
Dana Bash: "But it wasn't just a meme, sir."
Sen. JD Vance: "If I have to create stories so that the American media
actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then
that's what I'm going to do, Dana."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump has vowed to mass deport Haitians in Springfield
even though many have TPS - temporary protected status. Over the past
week, bomb threats have forced the closure of several public schools and
city buildings in Springfield. Colleges in the city have moved to
virtual classes after receiving threats.

Entre essai et témoignage, parsemé de nombreux extraits de poèmes, le livre, parfois un peu brouillon de Gérard Aubourg éclaire une part de l’histoire politico-culturelle d’Haïti. Il revient ainsi sur le passage d’André Breton, l’auteur du Manifeste du surréalisme (1924), dans le pays, mais aussi sur les groupes de poètes haïtiens dans les années 1950 et 1960. Du 4 septembre 1945 au 16 février 1946, Breton séjourne, en effet, dans la capitale haïtienne de Port-au-Prince. Or, sa venue coïncide avec une effervescence poétique locale, qu’il va catalyser, au point, selon Aubourg, que le surréalisme marquera les esprits jusque dans la décennie 1960.

Nach der Wahl in der DomRep: Erfolg mit Tourismus und Rassismus
As all eyes are on the genocide in #Gaza, #Haiti is undergoing a full scale foreign military #invasion. As of May 16th, thirty large transport planes have landed at Toussaint Louverture International Airport, unloading 835 tons of cargo and military equipment and bringing military personnel and contractors. At least one hundred more aircraft, some from the #US Air Force, others leased by the US State Department, are expected to arrive in the coming days. Sections of Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince are “now the outpost of an international military contingent.”

Sean Penn sure has been awful quiet since putting time, money and effort there. I wonder when he left?
