#u.s. mexico border

Contrary to popular belief, the borders are NOT "open" under Biden.

These misguided and misinformed truckers are trying to defy the Federal Government by joining the neo-Confederates in Texas in an attempt to impose cruel deterrents for migrants, including razor wire and buoys with attached circular saws that can maim or kill migrants.

Ironically, these foolish truckers are completely mistaken in their belief that the U.S. border is "open" under the Biden administration and stronger under the Trump administration.

In fact, the percentage of migrants who have been released by the Trump administration (52%) in its last two years in office is greater than the percentage released (49%) by the Biden administration in its first two years in office, according to the CATO Institute.

New Data Show Migrants Were More Likely to Be Released by Trump Than Biden

According to new data published last month [Oct. 2023], the Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden. In absolute terms, the Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did. These figures are important for understanding how each administration has carried out border enforcement. During the Trump administration, DHS made 1.4 million arrests—what it calls “encounters”—in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 (24 months). Of those people arrested, only 47 percent were removed as of December 31, 2021, which includes people arrested by Trump and removed by Biden, and 52 percent were released into the United States. Under Biden, DHS made over 5 million arrests in its first 26.3 months, and it removed nearly 2.6 million—51 percent—while releasing only 49 percent. In other words, the Trump DHS removed a minority of those arrested while the Biden DHS removed a majority. Biden managed to increase the removal share while also increasing the total removals by a factor of 3.5. [color emphasis added]

Someone should send the truckers this information.

Someone should send Fox News this information.

Someone should also remind the mainstream media about this information.

And someone should certainly send this to the House GOP as they continue to use immigration to weaponize the House against the Biden administration.

Experts say that the Christian nationalist rhetoric adds a dangerous dimension to the standoff between Texas and the Federal Government.

A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies.

The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.

This violates Posse Comitatus Act, and is another step towards Autocracy.

“In the days after Title 42 ended Thursday, encounters between U.S. agents and migrants at the border dropped by half, a top Biden administration official said Monday.”

Grounded Diplomacy: Mexico Grounds U.S. Deportation Dreamliner

In an unexpected diplomatic hiccup, Mexico temporarily blocked a U.S. military plane from landing, complicating the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to deport immigrants to the country, as reported by NBC News. While two Air Force C-17s managed to transport 160 deportees towards Guatemala, the planned flight to Mexico was grounded. The reason behind Mexico’s decision remains unclear,…

Mexico: New Global Migrant Hub Amid U.S. Deportations

In an unprecedented turn of events, Mexico has become the unexpected sanctuary for thousands of non-Mexican migrants who have been deported from the United States under President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown. This shift in policy has not only strained U.S.-Mexico relations but also positioned Mexico at the heart of a burgeoning global migration crisis. Here, we delve into the…

Did a google image translate of the bottom part and this is what I got! It’s about the Second French Intervention in Mexico when Napoleon III installed Austrian archduke Maximillian I (a member of the Habsburg family) to Mexico as emperor. Basically Frances’ attempt at installing an empire in Latin America while the U.S.A couldn’t enforce the Monroe Doctrine because it was busy with a civil war between the Union and the Confederacy.

I think the reason this historical event was talked about here is because the American Civil War was caused via a domino effect after the Annexation of Texas and the Mexican-American War during the 1840s, where the U.S. gained so much new land, causing dispute on whether the new states should be permitted to practice slavery or not which lead up to the civil war in the 1860s.

And you know looking at the bigger picture, all of this westward expansion from the U.S. from “sea to shinning sea” made it so that it became a global super power in part because of it’s strategic and advantageous geography.

* Note* - Mexico is a North American country, often mistaken as being a South American country probably because of people interchangeably misusing the term Latin America with South America. And I’m pointing this out because it might have been a mistake in the scanned booklet above.

American Civil War In Hetalia Canon

※1 At that time, black slavery was allowed in some states and wasn’t allowed in other states, and although Lincoln allowed the slavery in the Southern states, he was in opposition of its expansion in newly added territories of the USA. The reason why he declared the abolishment of the slavery was to get the support of England, as [England] have already abolished the slavery.

*Translator note: Untranslated section is about France aiding Mexico, not about the Civil War*

I was kinda shocked to learn about canon material about the American Civil War. I think even these 2 pages gives interesting information about America during the Civil War. I believe this pretty much confirms America was not split into two during Civil War.

I would really love to translate this whole book but I have no time for now TvT Hopefully when I have time at summer though would love to do it! Also yeah, that’s why the scanlation and editing looks terrible because I did it in a rush and not used photoshop.

I hope you enjoy it regardless!

Mexico-to-US intermodal rail service

DP World, the international port container terminal operator, is beginning a new rail service from Mexico to the US for automobiles. It will use 53-foot containers to move the cars by truck or rail. That makes the containers compatible with the standard size container used in the US and Mexico as well, rather than the 40-foot ocean containers. That eliminates a need to transload for US road…

The deal had been in the works for months and seemed to be nearing completion in the Senate before it began to fall apart, largely because Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump doesn't want it to happen.

A National Shame

Friends … I don’t even know where to start with this post.  It’s rather like a Rubik’s Cube or a maze or some other puzzle that boggles the mind.  I think maybe the best way to start is with a listing of some of the facts of the matter … the matter, by the way, being the situation at the Texas-Mexico border and the responses to it.  So, here are the facts as I understand them: The number of…

[re-imagine]

My parents were very young when they had me and when they moved to the U.S. They didn't own a house yet. We lived in an apartment with 3 other families. The line to go to the bathroom was always long. I remember being 3 or 4 and having too many accidents because of it... I remember taking the bus and walking to school because we didn't have a car for a while. My dad entered work at 5am and worked until midnight. He got paid $5 an hour. My parents argued over money sometimes. Life wasn't overly difficult for us but it was different than what it is right now. It's just weird that my siblings don't know that other life our family had. My siblings NEVER had to experience our old way of life. I wish they did, it builds character lmao.

Now I have to work hard to make my parents proud and give them experiences they never had. Oh and I am forever the family translator (but I am slowly forgetting my first language and it sucks).
