"What are we who are successful willing to do for this girl, and myriad more like her? Or, perhaps, what are we unwilling to give up even if it means her brutal death?" #WorldRefugeeDay
Man kann den Zynismus nicht ganz von der Hand weisen, dass ein Touristen-U-Boot bei dem Besuch der Titanic versinkt.
Dass die US-Küstenwache, ein Schiff der kanadischen Küstenwache und ein Militärflugzeug sowie mehrere Regierungen und Unternehmen die Suchaktion nach 5 Personen unterstützten, während Menschen in Schlauchboote auf dem Mittelmeer von offiziellen Stellen jeden Tag sich selbst überlassen werden, ist es am Weltflüchtlingstag erst recht.

🤔 Why should the State sponsor the daily illegal human trafficking of non-Western immigrants 🤦🏻♀️
They are living in the very big African Union 🤷🏻♀️ so why they should have the right to demand housing and money from the little EU
No one forced them to take a risk. They know that they tried to enter illegally 🤷🏻♀️ They themselves together with the smugglers and heavily profiting NGO’s are to blame
Will you accept it when 10 strangers are coming to your house, breaking the door and making themselves comfortable at your home and demanding you to pay for their stay as long as they desire?
And as a bonus after a certain while they also start to tell what you are allowed or not allowed to do at your own home 🤷🏻♀️ They have different traditions and you should accept that
"There in front of me was the whole #immigration debate in a nutshell: a girl fleeing a country where she was valued less even than the clothes she wore, a new country that took her in, and a local population increasingly fed up with #immigrants."
The deaths of hundreds of refugees off the coast of Greece have shocked the nation. Even anti-immigrant politicians have expressed sympathy, but others are asking whether the authorities are to blame. #News#immigrants
"As millions are driven from their homes by climate disasters, the extreme right exploits their misery to extend its reach. As the extreme right gains power, climate programmes are shut down, heating accelerates and more people are driven from their homes. If we don’t break this cycle soon, it will become the dominant story of our times."
"As governments turn rightwards, they shut down policies designed to limit climate breakdown. There’s no mystery about why: hard-right and far-right politics are the defensive wall erected by oligarchs to protect their economic interests."

As long as smugglers and NGO’s earning fortunes of money with trafficking of immigrants these tragedies will never stop
It’s the failure of #Europe that it doesn’t make 100% clear that it will never be tolerated to enter Europe in an illegal way
As long as this isn’t 100% clear and also in this way communicated, will this for certain people and organizations profitable human trafficking remain to still exist 🤷🏻♀️

The people on dangerous boats know that they have no good and rightful reason for an asylum apply
They would be refused right away when they use the normal travel options
There are many immigrants from Africa already in Europe who have no legitimate asylum right but still they refuse to go back 🤷🏻♀️ and causing many troubles
It’s logic that Europe try to stop them from entering
A collapse of the European society is for no one good
Charles Pierce on DeSantis's shipping of migrants to California:
"It is completely bizarre that this is allowed to continue. It is an infamous practice, dehumanizing at its essence and dangerously provocative as regards national unity. There are principles involved here far above the meager political pay-grades of tinhorns like Greg Abbott in Texas and Ron DeSantis in Florida. It is a cheap hustle, and it needs to be closed down."
Wat de kwestie #DeborahFernald heel mooi illustreert: het belang van ‘sociaal kapitaal’. Ze stemde op de D66’er omdat ze hem aardig vond. Als je sympathie wint, krijg je zóveel gedaan, ook inhoudelijk. Relatie is meestal belangrijker dan inhoud. Wordt vaak vergeten (ook door mij).
@RoosVonk
Voting for someone because someone just looks great 🤦🏻♀️ How stupid can you be
The person may look nice, at the same time this #D66 person is doing everything he can to destroy the Dutch society by supporting an unlimited influx of European values hating #immigrants 😏
Doesn't seem like a smart move what this Deborah did🤷🏻♀️
Finally this unlimited influx will destroy the Dutch society with special thanks to D66😏
"Brian Tyler Cohen reports (with video) that “Christian” pastor Jason Graber recently called for the execution of all LGBTQ people as well as the parents of transgender people: “They just need to be shot in the back of the head and then we can string them up above a bridge.”"
