"Migrant crisis: How Europe went from Merkel's 'We can do it' 10 years ago to pulling up the drawbridge"

You might think that the article would mention Russian influence: Troll farms, funding for Farage, Le Pen, etc. and all the other stuff they do to try to destabilise Europe.

But no, not a single mention of any of that, because it's the BBC. It's all about how terribly concerned everyone is about all these foreigners.

“Scapegoating vulnerable people has always been a deliberate ploy by the government to distract from its own domestic failures.

Today, it might be #asylum seekers.

Tomorrow, it could be #disabled people.

The next day, #trans people.

Whatever the minority, we are witnessing the demonisation of vulnerable people, to the grave detriment of us all.”

#Starmer’s #Labour government has laid itself wide open to these criticisms by #Corbyn.

Because it has turned against each of these groups.

In reaching her decision, Judge Cobb took particular note of the aggressive evolution of the #Trump administration’s #immigration policy in recent months.

She wrote that in a race to meet quotas — as high as 3,000 immigration arrests per day — the administration had resorted to staking out #courthouses, targeting people pursuing #asylum claims & other pathways to remain in the country legally.

Someone needs to go and show all the flag-waving Farage-worshipping gammons causing a scene outside of UK hotels housing asylum seekers this video:

All about how your glorious leader's plan "Brexit" actually has caused MORE asylum seekers in the UK.

And yet you come for the asylum seekers and not the charlatan at the top who is spinning poor policy, lies and fear.

As the admin seeks to fulfill #Trump’s pledge to carry out the largest #deportation op in #US history, attys for the men say their clients — #Afghans who fear retribution from the #Taliban for their work assisting the US in its 20-yr war in #Afghanistan — have found themselves in the crosshairs of #ICE. The attys provided WaPo with #military #contracts & certificates, #asylum & #visa applications, recommendation letters & other records that described both men’s work on behalf of #USmilitary….

One former interpreter for US forces in #Afghanistan was detained by ICE agents in Connecticut last month after he showed up for a routine green card appointment. A second was arrested in June, just minutes after attending his first #asylum hearing in San Diego.
