[Well, Happy 2023 everyone and we might as well start the new year off with a fresh sandbox. In the 19dec22 Sandbox Mr scenes offered an intriguing suggestion (830am) in an attempt to eliminate the detritus of TDS and things gratuitously Trump from continually contaminating practically every other topic with yet another boring lap around the Trump barn. He suggested that RR add a Trump category and restrict posting of Trump-centric comments to that category. I envision it being structured like the Sandbox with dated, and perhaps even topical, labels so that the comment streams don’t become too long. I need to noodle on this and invite readers’ ideas about how it would work. gjr]

“What I’m seeing in that chart is a big peak under Reagan, a big one under Clinton, and then a great big peak under Biden.”
1.62 million, 1.64 million, and 1.66 million are the peak numbers for those years. And the latest peak now include encounters that were not previously shown on the graph. Doesn’t look like a “great big peak” to me compared to previous peaks.
What the border crossings protestors never speak about is why there is a spike.
They treat the issue like those who don’t think we should help Ukraine.
But we are the most powerful nation on earth and we try to help people live free and healthy lives.
“The Southwest Border Enforcement Report focuses on describing numbers of border encounters and the Department’s enforcement response. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continues to face unprecedented challenges at the border. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement supports CBP by detailing personnel to the border to support migrant processing. The continuing high number of encounters likely reflects many of the same push factors that have propelled migration from Mexico and Central America for years, including poverty, high levels of violence, and corruption, along with Hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, and additional disruptions in several South American and Caribbean countries.” DHS website

But Biden,
June 21,2018 LA Times
“Reporting from Washington — With the family separations crisis still boiling on the border, the House on Thursday voted down a conservative immigration bill and abruptly postponed a vote on a more moderate proposal pitched as a compromise between battling Republican factions, an embarrassing setback for House leaders.
The first bill collapsed in a 193-231 vote, and the vote on the second was pushed back until next week to avoid back-to-back defeats. Both bills were largely seen as partisan measures with almost no path to becoming law, the latest failure in Congress to reach consensus on how to repair what both parties agree is a broken immigration system.
The first bill would have provided nearly $25 billion for a border wall, made steep cuts to legal immigration programs, and provided temporary legal status for young people brought into the country as children. The second would go further by offering the so-called Dreamers a pathway to citizenship.”
Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) attributed the internecine Republican battle to the complex politics of immigration.
“This is something that hasn’t been tackled in 30 years,” he said. “Not trying to give ourselves a pass but … one way or the other you lose people because of the complexities and the sensitivities and the emotions in this particular piece of legislation.”

So Trumpy,
“In Alenka Zupancic’s new book, Let Them Rot, writes the Professor, she describes leaders who take pride in their crimes “as if it amounted to some kind of fundamental moral difference or difference of character, namely, ‘having the courage,’ ‘the guts,’ to do it openly.”
So to Donald Trump’s brazen attempt to overturn an American election, to hoodwink the state and the people with falsehoods, dine with far-right racists, and to do so, openly.
And so too Lula’s precedecessor, the departing far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, skipping an important symbolic part of the presidential inauguration ceremony. In fact, he was in Florida, demonstrably caring little for the symbolic significance of the role he should have played. For an outgoing Brazilian president to pass the green and yellow sash to his successor is considered an important symbol of the peaceful transition of power. That Mr Bolsonaro left Brazil 48 hours before the inauguration is a sign of how boldly some leaders now admit to not only eating the last cannibal but metaphorically even list the condiments they added to the meal.”

Wouldn’t want creepy grampa joes tender eyes to see the truth –
Multiple media outlets report local police and Border Patrol agents began an effort during the last week to remove and arrest migrants from the streets of El Paso ahead of President Joe Biden’s visit to the Texas-Mexico border. The roundup appears to be an attempt to set up a Potemkin Village that paints a much different picture of the El Paso humanitarian crisis of just two weeks ago.

Mayors Adams and Lightfoot demand Colorado stop sending migrants
“These two mayors are almost claiming a kind of “first entry” policy (or maybe second entry) where the state they arrive in after crossing the border must keep them. There are problems with that. For one, many of the migrants making up the latest influx come from Venezuela. Those migrants are far less likely to have relatives or friends already living in the United States. Nevertheless, they are being allowed into the country to claim asylum and they are allowed to travel so long as they check in for their immigration appointments over the next seven years or so. In short, many of these people have no connections anywhere. They are hear to start a new life. If they want to start that new life in Chicago or NYC instead of Denver, should the Gov. of Colorado tell them no?”

In the United States, we tend to think that this is unique to us. It isn’t. It is global.
Every country of relative peace and stability is facing surging, uncontrolled immigration. Britain pulled out of the European Union partly because of immigration. Nothing has helped.
This year 504,00 are reported to have made it to Britain. People crossing the English Channel in small boats, with periodic drownings, has worsened the problem.
All of Europe is awash with people on the move. This year tens of thousands have crossed the Mediterranean from North Africa and landed in Malta, Spain, Greece, and Italy. It is changing the politics of Europe: Witness the new right-wing government in Italy.
Other migrant masses are fleeing eastern Europe for western Europe. Ukraine has a migrant population in the millions seeking peace and survival in Poland and other nearby countries.
The Middle East is inundated with refugees from Syria and Yemen. These millions follow a pattern of desperate people wanting shelter and services, but eventually destabilizing their host lands.
Much of Africa is on the move. South Africa has millions of migrants, many from Zimbabwe, where drought has worsened chaotic government, and economic activity has come to a halt because of electricity shortages. Venezuelans are flooding into neighboring Latin American countries, and many are journeying on to the southern border of the United States.
The enormous movement of people worldwide in this decade will have long-lasting effects on politics and cultures. Conquest by immigration is a fear in many places.
