Immigration lawyer needs media coverage ASAP! A born US Citizen is likely about to be deported, possibly today!

In a world where the only reliably expanding markets belong to the military sector, and technological innovation appears increasingly devoted to perfecting the art of mutual destruction, where can one still find hope? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/28/world/year-that-could-be/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #albania #brexit #italy #donaldtrump #eu #immigration

I’ve been researching #Italian #immigration to the #US for my #novel and every other primary source I open from 1890-1915 gives me major Déjà vu to how the #Republicans talk about immigration today.

“They aren’t white enough”, “they are a drain on our resources”, “deported because they would be a public charge”, “uneducated”, “barbaric”, “increasing crime”.

All the arguments are the same. Some of the laws are the same. And yet people in 1890 were arguing about the lack of race purity and “dirty blood” of people from Europe who the current conservatives would wholeheartedly consider white Christians and part of the great West or whatever.

Really makes you see as clear as day how BS and arbitrary all of this racist and anti-immigration rhetoric is. It’s nonsense. Always was. Always will be.

People deserve dignity and respect. Immigrants deserve to be welcomed in and accommodated.

Maintaining my Christmas tradition, this afternoon I went down to the U.S. border wall near Lukeville, AZ to do some photography. I was here two years ago and wrote a story about it https://www.mikaljakubal.com/christmas-at-the-wall
Now, it is deserted. The groups of hundreds of asylum-seekers per day coming over are no more.

The aid stations have been removed. It feels desolate.

I did get a couple more interesting shots, though not of migrants this time. The U.S. wall casts a shadow on more than just the desert.
