ANOTHER UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANT MERCILESSLY SUBJECTED TO RACIST HATE SPEECH!!!

Nilson Granados-Trejo was rudely and cruelly branded an "Illegal Immigrant" by the press after killing a toddler and injuring his teenage mom. <link>

"He's UNDOCUMENTED," shouted an angry Joe Biden. "He's not illegal, he's not an alien or an immigrant, he's an undocumented migrant. And he built this country and everything in it. Show some respect for my voters, you VILE WHITE PERSON!"

"And so what if he murdered a toddler and wouldn't have if I had only enforced our immigration laws? Lots of people kill toddlers, and I don't care about them either. Why should I care now?"

Don't let Biden's words fool you through. He's just pandering to his base of crackpots, bed wetters & communists. Behind the scenes Biden is working hard to resolve the illegal alien crime wave.

"The problem is housing," a Biden spokesperson explained. "These noble migrants can't afford housing and only turn to crime out of desperation. So the President's new plan to house illegal aliens inside of college dormitories, at taxpayer expense, should alleviate the crime problem, allowing the administration to concentrate on the real threat to society: Trump voters.

"California will begin paying for free legal help with immigration for undocumented farmworkers who are involved in state investigations of wage theft or other labor violations, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced this week.

The $4.5 million pilot program will provide qualifying farmworkers with referrals for legal help with their immigration status. 

Roughly half of California’s farmworker population is believed to be undocumented. Fear of deportation and difficulties finding jobs can discourage workers from filing labor complaints or serving as witnesses in cases alleging unsafe work temperatures, wage theft, or employer retaliation for unionizing, officials said...

Respecting immigrant rights

Farmworkers in labor investigations who qualify for the new state program will receive a direct referral to legal services organizations that already offer immigration services, such as the Community Action Board of Santa Cruz County or the United Farm Workers Foundation, which spoke in support of the program. 

The free legal services workers could receive include case review, legal advice and representation by an attorney, according to Newsom’s office...

Deferred deportation

State officials said the pilot program aligns with a new Biden administration policy that makes it easier for undocumented workers who are victims of labor rights violations to request deferred action from deportation. Because the federal Department of Homeland Security can’t respond to all immigration violations, it exercises “prosecutorial discretion” to decide who to try to deport.

State officials said they won’t ask for workers’ immigration status, but noncitizens granted this deferred action may be eligible for work authorization.

This year, California labor department officials began supporting undocumented workers’ requests for prosecutorial discretion or deferred action from federal immigration officials, including when employers threaten workers with immigration enforcement to prevent workers from cooperating with state investigators. 

“The Department of Industrial Relations’ Labor Commissioner’s Office … was the first state agency to request deferred action from DHS for employees in an active investigation, and that request was successful,” Hickey said. “This is an important process for undocumented workers to be aware of.”"

"When Hurricane Ida hit New York City on September 16, it dumped more than three inches of rain an hour. Sewers overflowed, streets turned into rivers, and thousands of homes and basements across the city’s five boroughs flooded. Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas saw the devastation firsthand when she toured her constituent neighborhoods of Corona, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Woodside in Queens. Family after family, mostly low-income immigrants, told her they’d lost almost all of their possessions in the storm. But as González-Rojas encouraged residents to seek help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, she learned that those who were undocumented were ineligible for aid."

La traversée (2021)

dir. Florence Miailhe

A small village looted in darkness, a family forced to flee. The two oldest children, Kyona and Adriel are quickly separated from their parents facing the road of exile alone. They embark on a journey which takes them from childhood to adolescence in search of shelter, peace and the hope of finding refuge and their family.

The writing of the film began in 2006 at the Royal Abbey of Notre-Dame de Fontevraud , where Florence Miailhe was invited in residence by Xavier Kawa-Topor.

Florence Miailhe is inspired by her family history and the sketchbooks of her mother, the painter Mireille Miailhe , but also by the drama of today's migrants, notably documented by her husband, the photographer Patrick Zachmann.

The writing of the film began in 2006 at the Royal Abbey of Notre-Dame de Fontevraud , where Florence Miailhe was invited in residence by Xavier Kawa-Topor. It took producer Dora Benousilio ten years to gather the necessary funding, while developing the project.

The film is made in animated painting, a technique which Florence Miailhe has made a specialty of.

«A poignant odyssey of migrant children, as if straight out of a painting by Chagall» -- Télérama

Invisible Lives: Meet Canada’s Undocumented Kids

Without legal status, these young people must live in the shadows

“Kids deal with the decisions other people made,” she says. Those kids spend most of their childhoods in Canada, where they do their schooling, form relationships, and build career aspirations, like everybody else. “It’s just this piece of paper thing—that is the difference,” says Pole. This “piece of paper thing” shuts folks out of ­colleges, universities, and trade schools: those who are not citizens or permanent residents generally require a study permit and must pay international fees to attend post-secondary institutions, and provincial aid often isn’t an option. It’s also a ­barrier to more basic rights, like access to health care and ­secure housing.

Even though Title 42, an immigration policy enforced by the Trump administration which severely restricted the ability of people crossing the U.S. southern border to seek asylum, was lifted last week, the new asylum rules proposed by the Biden administration will also significantly limit countless of people coming from the US-Mexico border to apply for asylum in the U.S. 

Make sure to read an article by the organization International Rescue Committee (IRC) to find out how you can help asylum seekers at the U.S. southern border.

This week, Arizona voters narrowly passed Proposition 308, which allows undocumented students both access to in-state tuition rates and state-funded financial aid.  

Though Prop 308 only passed by less than 60,000 votes, the move is a significant one. In 2006, Arizona voters passed Proposition 300, which did the opposite – prohibiting undocumented students from both. Until this vote, Arizona was one of three states, including Georgia and Indiana, to specifically block undocumented students’ access to cheaper in-state tuition – making it one of the most draconian policies in the country. (Alabama and South Carolina both go a step further: prohibiting undocumented students from enrolling in any public postsecondary institution whatsoever, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.) 

--

For Erika Andiola, communications director at the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, [the election’s] results were personal.  

Andiola was a sophomore on scholarship at Arizona State University in 2006, when Proposition 300 was first passed. The next year, she received a letter: If she couldn’t provide a social security number, she would lose all her state-funded financial aid...

Luckily for Andiola, Arizona State University set up a fund allowing currently enrolled undocumented students to continue with their education – it was through that fund that she was able to graduate. Now, with the passage of Prop 308, all of that is changed. 

“I’m so happy that young people don’t have to go through that,” she said.  

--

Arizona will now join 19 other states that allow for in-state tuition rates for undocumented students, according to NCSL: Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah and Washington.  

At least eight of those states, including Arizona, also allow undocumented students to receive state financial aid. That Arizona is now one of those states shows just how far the tide has turned since 2006. 

--

Now, 74% of Americans support giving permanent legal status to undocumented people who came to the US as children, according to a 2020 survey by the Pew Research Center.  

Arizona’s legislative history is part of what makes Prop 308’s passage so significant. If such a measure can pass there, Andiola said, then it can happen in other states – maybe even nationwide.  

“This is an indication that there is a change in the hearts and minds of people in Arizona, and possibly around the country, when it comes to undocumented youth,” she said. “We have the support of the public. We just need the support of people who are in power.”” 11/17/22

Let’s see if shitholes like San Francisco and Sacramento (especially ghetto section east) welcome them with open arms. or will they cry that their isn’t enough freebies for all. I’m sure San Diego will send them northward. NEW: Border…

After years of anti-immigrant, “Build the Wall” rhetoric, we have seen one of the highest-profile examples of someone who was in the United States illegally committing an act of shocking violence. We learned this week that the man who took a hammer to the head of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s 82-year-old husband was undocumented, here on an expired temporary visitor visa, and radicalized online. And the attacker is part of one of the largest populations in the United States illegally: Canadians.

Those darn Canadians!

The Republicans don't care because he isn't brown? He doesn't have a Spanish last name? Because he attacked a Democrat?
