ASSAMAKA, Niger (AP) — From this isolated frontier post deep in the sands of the Sahara, the expelled migrants can be seen coming over the horizon by the hundreds. They look like specks in the distance, trudging miserably across some of the world’s most unforgiving terrain in the blistering sun.It's a nine-mile trek across the sands, but that's after a ride in open trucks. And some of them get dropped off well before the normal departure point.
They are the ones who made it out alive.
Here in the desert, Algeria has abandoned more than 13,000 people in the past 14 months, including pregnant women and children, stranding them without food or water and forcing them to walk, sometimes at gunpoint, under temperatures of up to 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit).
The migrants the AP talked to described being rounded up hundreds at a time, crammed into open trucks headed southward for six to eight hours to what is known as Point Zero, then dropped in the desert and pointed in the direction of Niger. They are told to walk, sometimes at gunpoint. In early June, 217 men, women and children were dropped well before reaching Point Zero, fully 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the nearest source of water, according to the IOM.It's a death march, pure and simple.
And I have no doubt whatsoever that is essentially what Trump would do, if he had the power to order it. And the Trumpanzees, good little Americans to the core, would cheer him on.
At some point, the world's population will adjust downward to the point where rich people aren't upset anymore about how much the poor people own.
ReplyDeleteA lot more of this to come.
Until he orders border control to shoot on site, I'm not going to get my panties in a bunch. Illegal is illegal. Why not just stop all immigration until Congress does something? Because both sides are worthless...but blame Trump. The hatred is strong on the left.

Anonymous, it follows then that "legal is legal," right? Asylum seekers are obeying the law. Stop locking them up. Stop putting their children into concentration camps.
ReplyDeleteStopping all immigration is not legal. Ilegal is illegal, right?
"Both sides are worthless" is your view, tinted by your own worthlessness. Have a look at the results of "conservative" "leadership" and recognize that the left is always right.
The left blames Shithole for what he's responsible for. And we hate him because it's the only proper response.
Nangleator,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure all 'asylum seekers' are really asylum seekers. I also didn't realize children were put into concentration camps? Isn't this the same law the gay muslim followed?
Why can't immigration be temporarily suspended?
Both sides are worthless. This debate has been going on forever. Either follow the law or change it. Your faux outrage is laughable. If I made you so mad as to call me worthless, I must have hit a nerve.
Hate is the only proper response? Seems pretty harsh. That could explain all the violence and threats of violence from the left. Keep it up, and this will not end well.

ReplyDeleteAsk the farmers who are freaking out right now because Fergus' bullshit "zero tolerance" policy has left them without enough workers to harvest their crops.
Yeah, we on the the left are so damn violent that we want to give you health insurance...
The damn fool wants to deport people without due process, and you may like that idea when you think it will only be applied to the brown people you erroneously blame for various problems that they are actually less likely to cause, and you may believe it could never, ever be applied to you or the people you care about, but history says you may be wrong about that.

"I'm not sure all 'asylum seekers' are really asylum seekers."
ReplyDeleteOK, which is why we have a hearing process.
"I also didn't realize children were put into concentration camps?"
Well, let's see, take a child, separate them from their parent or guardian, starve them for up to 72 hours, put them into a prison where they are warned to not talk to the press and told that they are going to be there for a long time, provide little if any clothing, bedding, playthings and educational materials...calls to parents PERHAPS every 7 days...1,500 missing from the system...getting pretty close there.
"Isn't this the same law the gay muslim followed?"
Assuming you are referring to our ex-President, who was neither, no, it isn't. The actions being taken now are the result of an Executive Order by the President, an Orange-American named Trump. The law in question used family detention, where families were kept together at least until a hearing was held.
"Why can't immigration be temporarily suspended?"
It can be, but not in a discriminatory fashion.

"Either follow the law or change it."
OA Trump is doing neither.
"Your faux outrage is laughable."
It ain't faux, Bubba.
"If I made you so mad as to call me worthless, I must have hit a nerve."
No, perhaps your statements lay bare your worth?

Really, he's a little collection from the Right: When you pry it from my cold, dead hands...better dead than Red...one people, one nation, end immigration...Jews will not replace us...Blood and soil...Go the fuck back to Africa...fuck you, faggots..."be careful what you wish for...
"Keep it up, and this will not end well."
I'll add that to the list above, as you threaten violence in addition to your anti-Constitutional rant. You do realize that if you destory the Constitution, like you appear to want to, the 2nd goes with it, right? You think for a second the 1% will let you be armed, nope, it'll be their police forces with weapons, not the prols.
