  1. 40 Jahre Schengen – kein Grund zum Feiern: Die Bundesregierung verschärft Grenzkontrollen zu allen Nachbarstaaten – ohne klare Gefährdungslage oder rechtliche Grundlage.

    Statt europäischer Zusammenarbeit dominiert nationale Abschottung. Innereuropäische Kontrollen lösen keine Migrations- oder Sicherheitsprobleme. Deshalb rufen wir auf zum March for Open Borders am 19. Juli! 🇪🇺

    One incredible irony is that… while #Republicans accuse #Democrats of having "an #OpenBorder" policy… NOTHING would do MORE to curb illegal #immigration & reduce the number of #immigrants moving here "permanently" than an "Open" border.

    If the U.S. issued "work visas" (sponsored by their employer) and placed dozens of #Checkpoints along the border (checking for contraband), migrants could remain in #Mexico and commute across the border daily, saving Billions. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

    Someone "accused" me the other day of being a #Biden supporter. And for a split second, my first instinct was to deny it.

    And that's what #Republicans are doing when they falsely "accuse" #Democrats of supporting an #OpenBorder.

    The irony is, most #undocumented #immigrants would actually go home if they could freely travel back & forth across the border.

    We need a "Worker Day Pass" system where pre-screened immigrants sponsored by U.S. employers are allowed to cross daily. 🤔

  4. Border wall and asylum seekers a few days ago at sunrise, east of Sasabe, Arizona. These people were mostly from Latin America. They were some of the 50 or so people who were delivered through the wall last night by the human smugglers they paid.

    Border Patrol picked everyone up fairly quickly on this morning, though sometimes people have to wait all day or overnight to be brought into the station for the first step of their asylum claim processing.

    Every day, volunteers from No More Deaths and Tucson Samaritans offer food, water and first aid to people along the road. They also maintain an aid camp west of where this photo was taken.

    NMD is a good group to support if you want to make a difference. nomoredeaths.org

    As I said in the previous post, we need a radical rethinking of the border and immigration. We need to begin a discussion about how to have formally open borders as a means to stability and security.

  5. Two of about 50 asylum-seeking migrants being picked up by Border Patrol a few days ago along the wall east of Sasabe, Arizona. They were part of a large group of Latin Americans.

    Further down the road were four young women from Guinea who had flown into Guatemala and then hitchhiked together to the U.S. border where they paid traffickers to get them across.

    Such a risky undertaking is not something anyone does lightly.

    This is a long discussion, but the more time I spend at the border, the clearer it becomes that most discourse has been totally framed around fascist talking points. I think we need a radical rethinking of the border and immigration that involves a focus on stability and safety over false notions of security. We need to discuss ways that having an open border will make everyone safer and foster regional stability.

    It is a complex topic, but we need to start the discussion.

    I posted this morning:

    "The #GOP overplayed their hand by announcing for weeks that the end of #Title42 meant the border would now be *wide open*"… eliminating the "urgency" ("If the border is now open, I can go anytime! No need to go right now.") 😄 #OpenBorder

  7. America: #TheRaid is over. If .gov screwed up, it'll be covered up. If Trump broke the law, it'll be news until after #Election2022. That doesn't change the fact that #Biden is working HARD to bankrupt America and destroy this country in any way his little #fascist brain can dream up. Eyes on the ball, people. #inflation #13DeadMarines #gasPrices #TrueFascism #RisingTaxes #InflationReductionThatIncreasesYourTaxes #openBorder
