The invasion of our country
Президент США на арене:
У Benjy Sarlin сегодня хорошая цепочка твитов. Начинает он так:
Конечно, сейчас все эти люди рассказывают о том, что нельзя винить президента, both sides и все такое. Benjy Sarlin спрашивает:
А, вообще, предельо ясно о караване написал Adam Serwer:
Many Gang Members and some very bad people are mixed into the Caravan heading to our Southern Border. Please go back, you will not be admitted into the United States unless you go through the legal process. This is an invasion of our Country and our Military is waiting for you!"Invasion" -- звучит знакомо. Где-то я это слышал совсем недавно. А, да, вот где:
У Benjy Sarlin сегодня хорошая цепочка твитов. Начинает он так:
You can't directly attribute any one act of violence to Trump. But what I find interesting is lots of people -- and not just anti-hate groups like ADL -- explicitly warned that Trump raises the risk of violent extremism. I hear this less explicitly from some of them now.Дальше он приводит прошлые высказывания видных республиканских политиков как раз на эту тему. Я их не буду приводить, посмотрите по ссылке, процитирую только Рика Перри, который сейчас у Трампа Secretary of Energy трудится.
Конечно, сейчас все эти люди рассказывают о том, что нельзя винить президента, both sides и все такое. Benjy Sarlin спрашивает:
What I'd like to know is what changed about their dire warnings of Trump's unique role now that we see scenarios similar to what they warned about. Did he stop spreading hateful conspiracies? Did he stop invoking violence? Did he extend an olive branch? Did he apologize?А что касается "каравана", то вот Fox News излагает все как есть.
Шутка. Это не Fox News, это Шепард Смит днем режет правду-матку.Shep Smith on FOX: "The migrants are 2 months away if they make it here at all. Tomorrow is one week before the midterm election, which is what all of this is about. There is no invasion. No one is coming to get you. There is nothing to worry about." pic.twitter.com/6sxT6g4Y74

А, вообще, предельо ясно о караване написал Adam Serwer:
In reality, the caravan was thousands of miles and weeks away from the U.S. border, shrinking in size, and unlikely to reach the U.S. before the election. If the migrants reach the U.S., they have the right under U.S. law to apply for asylum at a port of entry. If their claims are not accepted, they will be turned away. There is no national emergency; there is no ominous threat. There is only a group of desperate people looking for a better life, who have a right to request asylum in the United States and have no right to stay if their claims are rejected. Trump is reportedly aware that his claims about the caravan are false. An administration official told the Daily Beast simply, “It doesn’t matter if it’s 100 percent accurate … this is the play.” The “play” was to demonize vulnerable people with falsehoods in order to frighten Trump’s base to the polls.Кто же мог предвидеть, что "the play" сыграет не сосем так, как предполагалось? Да много кто мог предвидеть, как видим, -- многие нынешние трамписты совсем недавно еще могли.

Мало того, такие караваны идут уже лет 25, причем раньше их шло больше

Согласно докладу Amnesty International, бесчеловечное обращение с беженцами в администрации Трампа является нарушением международных законов.
In 2017 and 2018, President Trump’s administration has implemented immigration policies that have caused catastrophic irreparable harm to thousands of people, have spurned and manifestly violated both US and international law, and appeared to be aimed at the full dismantling of the US asylum system.
Those policies and practices have included, among others: (1) mass illegal pushbacks of asylum-seekers at the US–Mexico border; (2) thousands of illegal family separations, through which the Trump administration has deliberately and purposefully inflicted extreme suffering on families, ill-treatment which rose to the level of torture in some cases; and (3) increasingly arbitrary and indefinite detention of asylum-seekers, without parole, constituting cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (ill-treatment) which is absolutely prohibited in international law.
Based on public statements by US government officials, those policies and practices were indisputably intended to deter asylum-seekers from requesting protection in the United States, as well as to punish and compel those who did seek protection to give up their asylum claims.
These are not isolated aberrations. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has implemented these interrelated policies in unison: closing the borders to asylum-seekers, and pushing them back into harm’s way; and making life so intolerable in immigration detention facilities, that asylum-seekers would think twice before requesting protection in the United States.
Fuelling these policies of cruelty with discriminatory and demonizing rhetoric, President Trump and his cabinet members have routinely called asylum-seekers “criminals,” and denounced international standards on refugee protection as legal “loopholes” and “magic words” that the administration has professed its intention to abolish.
The Trump administration is waging a deliberate campaign of human rights violations against asylum seekers, in order to broadcast globally that the United States no longer welcomes refugees. Simultaneously, the Trump administration is seeking to dismantle the US asylum system, including by narrowing definitions of who qualifies for protection – in violation of international law. Setting a dangerous precedent, the US government’s abrogation of its obligations under human rights and refugee law is undermining the international framework for refugee protection, grossly violating the right to seek asylum, and is inviting a race to the bottom by other countries.

Впрочем, не знаю, какой процент из полумиллиона задержанных на границе составляют сдавшиеся. Кого-то, наверное, ловят поисковые группы в пустыне, но вряд ли многих

Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States, irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum.

Для этого и собираются так называемые «караваны». Из прошлого большого каравана, который сдался на пограничном пункте в Тихуане, убежище на сегодняшний день получили три человека из пятисот.
