I love this photograph very much. It's a photograph of so many women, including myself, in every country.

Donald Trump’s Absolutely Baffling Claim About ‘Phone Apps’ Raises New Questions

Speaking in Wisconsin on Saturday, Trump claimed that Vice President Kamala Harris has an app that allows a “virtually unlimited” number of migrants to enter the country.
“They have a phone app, so the people can come into our country,” Trump said over the weekend. “These are smart immigrants, I guess, because most people don’t have any idea what the hell a phone app is. But they do, these are very intelligent immigrants.”

Brain…gone.

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:

https://www.al.com/news/2024/09/sylacauga-council-member-fears-civil-unrest-over-haitian-migrants-when-is-enough-enough.html

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.

US Should End Solitary Confinement of Immigrants

Practice Harms Physical and Mental Health, Can Be Fatal

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/07/29/us-should-end-solitary-confinement-immigrants

Earlier this month, people being detained at California Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities began a labor and hunger strike to protest their conditions, including against the use of solitary confinement. Recent research documented the deep physical and psychological toll wrought by the use of solitary confinement in United States immigration detention centers.

You Know What They Are

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans don’t, and will not believe it until the fireworks start. Even then, they will struggle to believe that war has actually come to the #UnitedStates, a #war that isn’t going to be a #civil war in any sense of the term:

1stResponderMedia posted a video on #X showing an interview with a group of #migrants who illegally crossed the #border 12 miles east of Sasabe, #Arizona, over the weekend. At least one of the migrants in the small group identified himself as an #African migrant from #Morocco.

A second male migrant traveling in the same group responded to a question about his country of origin with an ominous message.

“If you are smart enough, you will know who I am,” the migrant began. “But you are really not smart enough to know who I am. But soon you’re gonna know who I am.”

The migrant then walked away.

These young male migrants are neither #refugees nor conventional #immigrants. They are being brought into the United States to serve as a #PraetorianGuard for the #foreign #elite that is terrified of the reaction of the #US #citizenry to the inevitable #collapse of the #empire that the people never even wanted in the first place.

We wondered what the reaction to the failure of the jump to China would be, and now we know.

The picture below doesn’t show any poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free. It’s a well-funded #army of #mercenaries that only lacks #weapons and #orders to take action. And it’s already present across most of the United States.

The wok of Obama and Hillary: Twenty-Seven Migrants Found Dead in Libyan Desert

The crisis began at the beginning of July, when at least 1,200 migrants and asylum seekers of sub-Saharan origin were detained in mass raids in the city of Sfax, the main starting point of the migratory route by sea, and expelled to border areas, also with neighboring #Algeria.

Libyan authorities found 27 bodies of migrants dead since the beginning of the migration crisis in July.

Since July, there has been an increase in the flow of migrants arriving in #Libya from #Tunisia. The Libyan National Human Rights Committee believes that many of the migrants arriving at its borders from the neighboring country may have been forcibly expelled, forcing them to spend days in the desert without any possibility of survival.

Italy migrant boat shipwreck: Nearly 60 killed off Calabria coast

We will not know their names, Hollywood will not make a love story about them, no one will make songs about their death. And most people will never even bother reading about their death.

the lovely action of Obama/Clinton/Sarkozi/Brown to destroy Libya and turning into a land of no rules, a hell hole for African migrants, a country with open slave markets and playgrounds of both AlQaeda and ISIS, is also the center of the world most lucrative human trafficking market. 100s of desperate people from Africa, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and other parts of the world pay what ever they had saved to these monsters who put them on boats way above their capacities, many time without life jackets or with fake ones.

This is the legacy of the NATO actions in Libya. But I am sure most people would not care much about that "ancient history" and the fact that some "uncivilized dark skin people" died trying to "invade Europe".

We live in a world where human lives are not worth much. 60 innocent lives lost at sea won't make anything other than just a foot note in the world obsessed with the reincarnated Hitler in Russia and the new captain America's hero Zelensky.

At least 59 migrants, including 12 children, have died and dozens more are feared missing after their boat sank in rough seas off southern Italy.

The vessel broke apart while trying to land near Crotone on Sunday. #Migrants from #Afghanistan, #Pakistan, #Somalia and #Iran were on board.

A baby was among the dead, Italian officials said.

Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, who visited the scene, said as many as 30 people may still be missing.

Bodies were recovered from the beach at a nearby seaside resort in the Calabria region.

The coastguard said 80 people had been found alive, "including some who managed to reach the shore after the sinking".
