The Biden administration also implements tactics to curtail freedom of speech. Question their open border policy and you're a bigot, or question their policy in regard to Ukraine and you're a Putin lover, and it goes on like that so people are afraid to speak truth to power. It's purpose no doubt is to create a frightened and docile public who will not challenge their position.

There isn’t an “open border policy” - Biden extended the wall, increased the border patrol budget, the baby jails are all open for business. Nothing fundamentally changed (except the end of COVID. ) “Open Borders” is just a Cult Red talking point. Both cults are noxious, each tells inhumane lies, and both cults are nothing more than propaganda arms for ruling class which benefits when we think our enemies are actually other imprisoned cult members.

This 'immigant' talk is nothing but mumbo jumbo.

Oh we will lose our Culture......here in France!

Oooh jobs will be taken from us in the USA and there will be more coloured people than whites! etc etc etc

Within almost every western countries the birthrate is dropping.

AND above all, with global warming the influx of refugees, will be biblical.

Basically it's all rubbish and designed to make people fear.

I am enjoying our new citizens here they have brought with them some lightness.

How do I love thee, let me count the ways. You had me at immigrant talk.

End Stage Capitalism is and will be uglier. Othering and war are the last of profit.

Now he did, forced to, but people were coming through in waves, so many they were bused off to cities that became overwhelmed, and I live in one of them. We have Americans living on the streets, or in their cars, and we do nothing, and now cities are asked to deal with the problems Biden has created. You know this was not due to any good will policy by a president who was, and is extremely self serving and supported death and destruction in all the wars he supported.

Daniel, that's just not true. US Border policy is absolutely appalling - and is a direct result of the US's Central and South American policy.

Furthermore, other poor people are not your enemy. If the US wanted to end the refugee crisis they'd stop making so many refugees.

This issue is simply a direct distraction for the right wing, the analogy is what wokism and micro-aggressions on the left. As long as you are busy freaking out about refugees "pouring into the country," you will not be looking at the very systems that are immiserating the US population. I can promise you that Juan and Juanita aren't responsible.

Basically just blame refugees................ALL talk, talk and the 'talk' is from right wing Leaders. Most of us know this.

Le Pen (France) is and has always been a Jew hater but this has got lost on people who just see immigrants as the problem.

At the beginning when LePen 'divorced' her fathers ideas and went out on her own. She used Russian money to fund her campaign.

Right now she will be on trial for using funds from the EU for her run in the next election.

I am only pointing this out because RIGHT wing leaders all do the same.

Forget the immigration issue it is just a cover for nefarious schemes and manipulation to keep people scared.
