#asylum

17 posts16 participants0 posts today
There was an idea forwarded during Trump 1.0 that #DACA recipients seek refuge from #deportation on an Indian #reservation and seek their sovereign protection. While I don't blame any sovereign tribe for not wanting war with The Orange One, its' a good fight to have all the way up to the Supreme Court, methinks--especially CITIZENS who have been notified to leave the country might be wise to apply for #asylum on a reservation.

Action Announcement: 5/1 #HannafordPicket and #march | #migrantJustice / #justiciaMigrante

On April 21st, armed thugs stormed Pleasant Valley Farm in Berkshire, #Vermont — one of the largest #dairy #farms in the state if not the largest — abducting eight workers, one an asylee, marking the largest worksite #arrests in recent #VT history. The 8, ranging 22-41 years of age, all live in Franklin County. They were recruited in order to have a better life for themselves and their families, and to contribute economically to this community. Freedom and local prosperity yanked away, for *nothing* but to stoke #disruption and concentrate power of #lasFascistas through terror. Now these #neighbors of ours are subject to so-called "deportations". This is our own #Zionism. #freePalestine YES these attacks on community, family, society, civilisation, pursuit of life & liberty are the same. You can't be morally nor ethically opposed to one but not another. They're being conducted by the same parasitic people and with the same goals. Life is not a pie, with other, more brown folks after your piece, no. Others' freedom enhances and never diminishes your own, period.

Continued thread

The #JimJordan led #House #judiciary reconciliation bill would institute the following immigration prohibitive“fees” making legal immigration to the US impossible.

$1k to apply for #asylum, + $550 every 6 months for #work permits & $100 every year their case continues.

Anyone who wants to sponsor an unaccompanied child from a #Refugee Resettlement shelter will have to pay $8,500 ($5k would be reimbursed years later IF the child was NOT ordered deported "in absentia" for missing court.)

"This would basically🚨restrict asylum to a select few (wealthy), largely defeating the (moral) purpose of #asylum."
-S Stein

As part of the expansion of #immigration fees:

-- $1,000 asylum appl fee --1st in US history
-- $1,000 fee for indivs paroled into the US
-- $3,500 fee for sponsors of unaccompanied children
-- $2,500 penalty for sponsors of unaccomp children who fail to appear in court
-- $550 fee for work permits (employment authorization)
