The World Cup feels like a setup for this administration to showcase their brutality against nonwhite people on a world stage. Of course FIFA will press on, but it's going to be a mess.
“the man decided not to appeal when the immigration judge denied his asylum claim. He told Human Rights Watch the prospect of being locked up longer left him in despair. “It’s so psychological what they do to you there.… You want to get out so badly.”
Anyways, World Cup draw is Friday.

NEW: You've read a lot about immigrants kidnapped, forcibly detained, and held in ICE facilities -- what about the immigrants *trying* to leave the country? Turns out its wildly difficult for them too.

The only way to look at this is white supremacy. Inhumane, goalpost moving, country-destroying white supremacy.
The Trump admin has paused all immigration and naturalization processes for people from one of the 19 travel ban countries; including Cuba and Venezuela.
Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Scoop: The Trump administration has paused all immigration applications filed by people from 19 countries banned from travel to the United States earlier this year, halting green card and U.S. citizenship processing for broad swaths of people.
More coming soon.

The flippant way this administration is caging human beings is also vile. What purpose does this serve besides inflating prison service contracts? These spouses are still eligible for green cards, they'll just have to go through court now, which the admin has devastated again. Wasteful and vile.

Vile. Disgusting and vile. But they'll claim to care about a vulnerable, brown, migrant baby in a manger this month.
These are screenshots from an actual DHS press release that just went out offering "self-deportation" as a "gift" to "illegal aliens" this holiday season.

What many politicians don't realise - or want to understand - is that many of the "highly-skilled" immigrants whose labour they crave were raised by the same asylum seekers and refugees they openly despise. They take the racist political rhetoric personally, and act accordingly. Why wouldn't they?
"Record numbers of overseas-trained doctors are quitting the UK, leaving the NHS at risk of huge gaps in its workforce, with hostility towards migrants blamed for the exodus...the NHS is so heavily reliant on doctors from elsewhere – 42% of its entire medical workforce qualified overseas."
All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.
