Rethinking Asylum: History, Purpose, Limits

Day 4: Wednesday

If it isn't obvious, I was reading this book for my dissertation. Finally finished it. Didn't agree at all but he did a thorough job. 4/5

"The persecution requirement is intertwined with asylum's expressive character. The term "persecution" describes not only a refugee's vulnerability to harm; it also describes a particular kind of harm--one inflicted maliciously and unjustifiably, usually by the state or with official sanction."

who wants to give me some career advice on this wednesday afternoon when i should be working my real job.....

[trashbirdthoughts]

I’m tired of my body being grounds for battlelines to be drawn upon in blood.

I am so tired of fighting to have space in the world to exist.

I hope they hear our screams in their dreams never able to rest.

I hope they are haunted by our ghosts, and never allowed to live in peace. May they know the hurt they have caused us.

Fuck them.

[gentrychild]

AND you're denying your involvement! How disappointing. There will be consequences, Gentry, if you want to break the owl oaths

I am not denying my involvement, I am arguing that you can't accuse me of being responsible for this mess as the simps do what they want, I have never been able to control them, and I should not be blamed for their behavior!

yk it’s bad enough that we could say that the erie canal was influential in starting the civil war but i truly believe you could make the argument that it also led to the great migration

I've seen people say that having tree law trending (among other rarely before seen topics) is a sign of the incoming Redditors but like:

Is this them too? Or is there something else going on? It almost feels like we're bringing back the old thinspo, pro-ana blogs from like 2012, but I'll admit I didn't look too much into the tag, so let me know if I'm too far off the mark.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

January 13, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

JAN 14, 2024

Last night a woman and two children drowned in the Rio Grande that marks the border between the U.S. and Mexico near Eagle Pass, Texas. 

U.S. Border Patrol agents knew that a group of six migrants were in distress in the river but could not try to save them, as they normally would, because troops from the Texas National Guard and the Texas Military Department prevented the Border Patrol agents from entering the area where they were struggling: Shelby Park, a 47-acre public park that offers access to a frequently traveled part of the river and is a place where Border Patrol agents often encounter migrants crossing the border illegally. 

They could not enter because two days ago, on Thursday, Texas governor Greg Abbott sent armed Texas National Guard soldiers and soldiers from the Texas Military Department to take control of Shelby Park. Rolando Salinas, the mayor of Eagle Pass, posted a video on Facebook showing the troops and saying that a state official had told him that state troops were taking “full control” over Shelby Park “indefinitely.” Salinas made it clear that “[t]his is not something that we wanted. This is not something that we asked for as a city.”

The Texas forces have denied United States Border Patrol officials entry into the park to perform their duties, asserting that Texas officials have power over U.S. officials. 

On December 18, Abbott signed into law S.B. 4, a measure that attempts to take into state hands the power over immigration the Constitution gives to the federal government. Courts have repeatedly reinforced that immigration is the responsibility of federal, not state, government, but now, according to Uriel J. García of the Texas Tribune, “some Texas Republicans have said they hope the new law will push the issue back before a U.S. Supreme Court that is more conservative since three appointees of former President Donald Trump joined it.”

On January 3 the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the new law, saying: “Texas cannot run its own immigration system. Its efforts, through S.B. 4, intrude on the federal government’s exclusive authority to regulate the entry and removal of noncitizens, frustrate the United States’ immigration operations and proceedings, and interfere with U.S. foreign relations.” 

Abbott and MAGA Republicans are teeing up the issue of immigration as a key line of attack on President Joe Biden in 2024, but while they are insisting the issue is so important they will not agree to fund Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s 2022 invasion until it is solved, they are also unwilling to participate in discussions to fund more border officers or immigration courts. Today, once again, Biden reminded reporters that he has asked Congress to pass new border measures since he took office, but rather than pass new laws, Republicans appear to be doubling down on pushing the idea that migrants threaten American society and that an individual state—Texas, in this case—can override federal authority.

Abbott has spent more than $100 million of Texas tax dollars to send migrants to cities led by Democrats. These migrants have applied for asylum and are waiting for a hearing; they are in the U.S. legally. In September 2023, Texas stopped coordinating with nonprofits in those cities that prepared for migrant arrivals. 

Yesterday, Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker wrote to Abbott, calling him out for choosing “to sow chaos in an attempt to score political points.” Pritzker noted that Abbott is “sending asylum seekers from Texas to the Upper Midwest in the middle of winter—many without coats, without shoes to protect them from the snow—to a city whose shelters are already overfilled with migrants you sent here.” Chicago’s temperatures are set to drop below zero this weekend, Pritzker wrote, and he “strongly urge[d]” Abbott to stop sending people to Illinois in these conditions. “You are dropping off asylum seekers without alerting us to their arrivals, at improper locations at all hours of the night.”

Pritzker wrote that he supports bipartisan immigration reform but “[w]hile action is pending at the federal level, I plead with you for mercy for the thousands of people who are powerless to speak for themselves. Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people’s lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state. We are asking you to help prevent additional deaths. We should be able to come together in a bipartisan fashion to urge Congress to act. But right now, we are talking about human beings and their survival. I hope we can at least agree on saving lives right now.”

Speaking on the right-wing Dana Loesch Show last week, Abbott said, “The only thing that we’re not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border, because of course the Biden administration would charge us with murder.” 

On January 13, 1833, President Andrew Jackson wrote to Vice President–elect Martin van Buren to explain his position on South Carolina’s recent assertion that sovereign states could overrule federal laws. “Was this to be permitted the government would lose the confidence of its citizens and it would induce disunion everywhere. No my friend, the crisis must be now met with firmness, our citizens protected, and the modern doctrine of nullification and secession put down forever…. [N]othing must be permitted to weaken our government at home or abroad,” he wrote.

EU begins efforts on migration and asylum pact

The European Union launched working on the details of its new market-wide pact on migration and asylum, Emerging Risks reproted.

Following last week’s European Parliament elections, a political shift to the right in countries such as France, Germany and the Netherlands has begun work on making the Migration and Asylum Pact agreement a reality.

The European Union said it has begun work to “translate a large and complex set of legislative acts into an operational reality over the next two years.”

The Common Implementation Plan for the Migration and Asylum Pact, adopted by the Commission this week, sets out key milestones for all Member States to build the legal and operational capacities needed to successfully implement the new legislation by the middle of 2026. For instance, Member States must submit national asylum plans by December, which will come into force in 2026. The rules will tighten the bloc’s borders for irregular migrants, who will face faster screening procedures and expedited deportation.

In addition, countries must set up new border centres to detain migrants while their asylum requests are prepared and processed. The new rules also require an EU country to accept thousands of asylum seekers from frontline states such as Italy and Greece, or instead provide money or other resources to countries under pressure.

We are presenting a blueprint for the next two years of work to help make the Pact on Migration and Asylum a reality on the ground. This is further testament to the Commission’s determination to spare no effort in ensuring Member States have all the expertise, operational and financial support they need to turn legal commitments into practice, according to Margaritis Schinas, vice-president for Promoting our European Way of Life.
