Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Of course all this will merely slow down ICE/CBP, not stop them.
The only way to truly stop them is with ruthless firepower. I
repeat: every refugee needs to own an assault rifle and at least
1000 rounds of ammunition. Instead of donating money to groups
such as LAJC, it would be more effective to use that money to
buy assault rifles and ammo in bulk and hand them out to
refugees whichever side of the border they are on.

Capt. Kate McCue said in a video she posted to social media that
she turned the ship around after her chief officer noticed a
glimmer on the horizon. The glimmer turned out to be the
migrants.

them with blankets, a change of clothes, food, and a medical
evaluation, McCue said. The U.S. Coast Guard was also contacted.

International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea: ‘A

persons are in distress at sea, is bound to proceed with all
speed to their assistance,’” according to SeaLaw.com.

This is actually a funny story. Not what I expected to read when
I came on here. Cruises are kind of a sleazy business,
especially the ones operated by Carnival and other such
companies, so I would have expected at least some misconduct
with the refugees, considering your average clientele. Maybe
this proves that while people tend to treat migrants like
garbage from afar in their voting booths, kindness is more
common when they have to look at the victims in the eye?

pressure to help family and friends under a U.S. migration
program announced this month that may help some people escape
Haiti's escalating violence but is also putting strain on the
nation's diaspora.

> Giubert St Fort, a South Florida resident from Haiti said he
was inundated with calls almost immediately after the Biden
administration said on Jan. 5 it was opening a new legal pathway
for migrants from four countries, including Haiti who had U.S.
sponsors.

> Guerline Jozef, executive director of non-profit immigration
advocacy group Haitian Bridge Alliance, which is helping
Haitians find sponsors, described the dilemma.
>
> "People will say 'I have more than one cousin I would like to
sponsor, I'm only able to sponsor one of them,'" Jozef said.
"And that creates a major issue because how do you choose which
one to sponsor?" She is also opposed to the expulsions of
Haitians and other migrants arriving at the southwest border,
many who are seeking U.S. asylum.

> Jozef said immigrant advocates have long fought for measures
such as humanitarian parole, but said the program should not be
attached to systematic deportation or expulsion of immigrants
seeking asylum.

Chain migration is deliberate cruelty. If one person can sponsor
only one other person, we have to wait for that new person to
acquire citizenship before they can then sponsor the next
person. It is far too slow, as the pace is stuck at
1+1+1+1+1+1+1+..... Even increasing the number of people who can
be sponsored from 1 to 2 would already be a considerable
improvement, because then the pace would become
1+2+4+8+16+32+64+..... See how much quicker that would be?
Of course if we were in charge, we would not even require
sponsors, and just let everyone in first. (Oh wait, that was
what they actually did, but only for Ukrainians!

Syrian nationals in Canada, whose homeland was devastated last
month by earthquakes, to obtain open work permits allowing them
to remain here for up to three years.

> “People who have been impacted (from the earthquakes) will
benefit from special treatment in their application to come and
receive temporary protection in Canada, including the family
members of people who are here,” said Fraser, speaking in
Mississauga.
>
> As part of the new measures, a Turkish or Syrian national who
has temporary Canadian residency — such as a visitor, a student
or a worker — will also be able to move between temporary
residency streams to extend their stay in Canada. This will give
them the opportunity to continue studying, working, or visiting
family.

> Normally, an individual with a temporary visa or residency in
Canada would have to leave the country to obtain a work or study
permit, once their existing permit expires. But the new measures
will now allow them to remain in Canada while they apply for any
permit until they are approved.
>
> Fraser said it’s essential that Canada continues to treat this
as a priority, and shared his hope the “new measures will give
them peace of mind that they don’t need to return home to an
uncertain future.”
