I'm laughing so hard at what my Mom just said to me, while asking her if she's still up for sharing her lived experiences from just after we fled Saigon, to two refugee camps, to being sponsored by a Canadian group of church folks to adjusting to life in Canada, in first few years.
Mom said: I remember that you pooped a lot....a lot more than your little brothers. Your Dad called you a toddler shit factory. We'd be rich, if we could have sold your Saigon baby Buddha poop.
What?!? 🤣😂😅 My parents actually discussed this, in depth, before fleeing Saigon.#AsianMastodon #SouthEastAsians #Vietnam #BoatPeople #AsianDiaspora #Displacement #WarSurvivorsForPeace

As a child in #Vietnam , Thao’s mother often rescued #ants from bowls of sugar water. Years later they would return the favour.
Boat People is an #animated #documentary that uses a striking metaphor to trace one family’s flight across the turbulent waters of history.

2/ Mit Berichten von Menschen aus
Afgahnistan,
Chile,
Libanon,
Mali,
Mosambik,
Palästina,
Senegal,
Sowjetunion,
Tschtschenien und
Vietnam.Sehr oft wird angemerkt, dass die Personen in der #DDR 1989 bei den Kommunalwahlen wählen durften, in der #BRD aber nicht.
Wusste ich bis gestern nicht, dass die DDR da schon weiter war. Passt auch nicht zu der Idee von staatlichem #Rassismus.
Außerdem interessant: Es gibt mitunter sehr verschiedene migrantische Communities in Ost und West. Die Vietnames*innen in West-Deutschland sind #Boatpeople, die vor den Kommunisten geflohen waren, und die im Osten, sind Menschen, die zum Studium oder für die Berufsausbildung im Osten ausgewählt worden waren. Irgendwie klar, dass die sich nicht lieben.

My friend Vu, a very talented filmmaker, is filming a documentary about repatriating his murdered mother's ashes to Vietnam. He seeks funding to retrace the perilous boat voyage he and his mother took as refugees from Vietnam to the United States. Please reshare and chip in if you are able!

„Ohne etwas verharmlosen zu wollen, sondern zur Einordnung: Im #Med das seit Jahren als eine der tödlichsten Fluchtrouten der Welt gilt, ist die Sterberate nicht einmal ansatzweise so hoch wie bei den #BoatPeople. Egal, welche von diesen Zahlen man hernimmt.”

Refugee report
Channel crossings still a political problem
January 2025
While we continue to await the details of the government’s proposed Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill, the arrivals continue on small boats. The total for 2024 was 36,816 (compared to 29,000 in 2023, but lower than 2022). 69 migrants lost their lives in the Channel over the year. It is also noted that 270 claimants died while awaiting the results of their applications since 2015. The National Crime Agency is predicting large numbers of arrivals this year.
UK Government activity in the last month include a Home Office declaration that people smugglers will face immediate travel bans, social media blackouts and phone restrictions when caught. This morning (Thursday) the Foreign Secretary has joined in with a piece insisting that the FO is part of this push. How this will develop is unclear, but he speaks of using “our sharpest diplomatic weapons.”
There has also been a marked increase in the number of removals (voluntary or otherwise), amounting to 13,500 since the election, and the speeding up of the application process may have led to a loss of accuracy in the decision making. It is likely that talk of removing people “who have no right to be here” will increase.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian refugees, here under the visa scheme, are concerned that the 3 year visas will expire soon. They can be extended, but it is feared that the process may take so long that the right to remain will have gone before completion.
Charities the Refugee Council and Safe Passage have both produced reports in the last month. Safe Passage is primarily concerned with child refugees and is urging the government to provide safe routes and enable families to reunite without hindrance. The Refugee Council is campaigning for a “fair and humane asylum system” with a six-point plan including piloting a visa scheme for anyone seeking refuge in the UK and a hearing process that takes no account of the means by which applicants arrived here. It is not expected that the government will take these suggestions up.
As an international comparison, the number of boat arrivals on the Canary Islands in 2024 was 46,000. Spain has been following a comparatively liberal approach to immigration, but it is feared this may change.
As a tailpiece, an article on the experiences of those migrants who ended up on the now abandoned Bibby Stockholm can be read here.

Si tu regardes un film pendant le congé d’hiver, regarde "Ru", un film absolument fuckin magnifique sur une petite fille du Vietnam, une des nombreuses #boatpeople qui sont arrivées au Québec après la guerre du #Vietnam. Honnêtement, ça fait longtemps que j’ai pas vu un film aussi bon. Je te le recommande vraiment.Chaque prise est une superbe peinture, les choix musicaux sont parfaits et le jeu des acteurs est incroyable. Juste wow. Pour l’instant, le seul endroit où tu peux le trouver, c’est sur Crave, un service canadien. Mais bon, tu peux être créatif et voir si tu peux le trouver ailleurs!

October 2024
The problem of boat crossings has largely dropped out of the news recently with the conflict in the Middle East soaking up media attention. The Conservative party’s leadership election is also a focus of interest particularly as the two remaining candidates have hard line opinions on immigration.
As the new government prepares to reveal its Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill (largely designed to replace the jettisoned Illegal Migration Act), it is worth looking at the current situation with the small boats. Under the IMA, all applications are deemed inadmissible. This has left us with a backlog of 33,000 claimants in limbo (mainly Afghans and Syrians). Before the IMA, 90% of claims had been accepted. This might not be the case in the future as the Home Secretary also wants enhanced return procedures.
The high levels of pending cases has been exacerbated by the lower levels of acceptance (down to about 60% of cases) with a resulting big increase in the number of appeals. In passing, the Independent notes that the oldest asylum claim at the Home Office was made nearly 17 years ago. Also, Switzerland has improved its processing, which used to take up to 4 years, but is now about 100 days, which may be a pointer for a way forward.
The charity Safe Passage sees signs of improvement (e.g. now allowing children to join relatives who are not parents) but meanwhile the total number of arrivals this year is over 25,000 – slightly more than last year but fewer than 2022. The government is keen to align with European procedures on irregular arrivals, but within Europe itself cracks are showing. This week 17 EU countries pushed for more effective return procedures for rejected applicants under the new Asylum and Migration Pact. At present the actual return rate for those to be sent back is only around 30%. An amended return process is presently stuck in the European Parliament.
Following the Ukraine war, the percentage of the world’s refugees in Europe has increased to over 20%. New research this week suggests that the numbers of irregular migrants in Europe is not increasing substantially (still at around 1% of the population for most countries). The MIrreM project calculate that between 2.6 and 3.2 million irregular migrants are living in the 12 countries they researched, with 594,000 to 745,000 in the UK. Figures are not completely reliable owing to many arrivals staying under the radar.
While we concern ourselves with the relatively small number of refugees arriving on the south coast, it is worth looking at the worldwide situation. With war zones in the Middle East, Sudan and Myanmar, not to mention Ukraine, the number of displaced persons has mushroomed in the last year. Ten million Sudanese have been displaced, 2 million to another country, 4.5 million Yemenis are internally displaced, while in Gaza 90% of the population and in Lebanon 1 million out of 5 ½ have had to move under Israeli attack, in some cases many times. In the larger Palestine, plus Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, there are 58 recognised camps housing 1.5 million refugees (1 in 3 of all Palestinians, some dating back to 1948. The UN authorities in the area (UNRWA and UNIFIL) have pointed out that many of the displaced inhabitants may well choose to head for Europe, adding to the pressure on countries there.
In Myanmar, not only those under threat from the military, but also many Rohingya have left the country, about 1.3 million, mostly to Bangladesh.

We didnt know she was a OneNation supporter, but even so, many are drawn to lower #populationGrowth parties for no other reason but to conserve our #environment and #biodiversity.We should not be so prejudiced as to write people off, based on their perceived need to limit the sheer number of people corporations lobby to have pumped in for cynical ends. One could say the #populism in Howard's #BabyBonus and abuse of "#boatPeople" drove many to look at alternatives.

...do not forget - the #toriesOut
stole a LOT of traditional #labour seats by promising to be nasty to other people in 2019 - then it was EU migrants, next time it will be #boatPeople and of course the "indigent poor who breed"Do not give them the ammunition - it is what #labour does AFTER it is in power that matters - not what virtue it loudly proclaims to the "liberal elite" when safely in Opposition

I choose to betray Britain by publicly and loudly opposing Braverman and Sunak’s plans to criminalise asylum seekers. No question. Lineker is to be applauded because he is factually correct. The language is fascistic in tone and content. I invite others to join me. #AsylumSeekers #BoatPeople #MigrantsWelcome #DitchBraverman #DitchSunak #GTTO

@sim
Make no mistake though, the newcomers are often working their butts off harder than can be imagined too. The problem is how many people would be a reasonable number and what number is extreme and unsustainable.Australia became irresponsible in 2003-2004 when our #populationGrowth obsessed PM at the time *tripled* the intake.
The warCriminal PM also ran a #BabyBonus (read: #bribe), and cynically allowed atrocities on #boatPeople to *appear* tough (admitted on RadioNational in 2014).
