Some sanity still exists in the EU!

--- Quote ---
> About 130 German cities are going against the anti-migration
trend and petitioning the German federal government to send them
more asylum seekers and refugees.
>
> Many of Germany's major cities, such as Berlin, Cologne,
Düsseldorf, and Freiburg, are included in the lobbying efforts.
>
> According to Deutsche Welle, a media outlet funded by the
German government, a number of representatives from Düsseldorf,
Potsdam and other cities said during a joint press conference
that they wanted to upend Germany's migration policy and
resettle migrants in their cities.
>
> The German cities are primarily focused on resettling refugees
rescued on the Mediterranean Sea
>
> "We would be prepared to take in more people if we were
allowed," Mike Schubert, mayor of Potsdam and member of the
Cities of Safe Harbors initiative told journalists. "We are
currently experiencing a policy of wait and see, but that's the
opposite of acting."
>
> Rottenburg am Neckar, a small town of 5,800 people, might be
one of the most dramatic cases. Stephan Neher, from the
Christian Democratic Union (CDU), is active in trying to push
the federal government to allow his town to accept more
refugees. So far, reports Le Figaro, the town has accepted about
850 refugees.
>
> “Our city does not want to remain inactive and just watch
people die simply because Europe does not respect the right to
life. We, as a municipality, want to take our part in this
challenge and make sure that we act in a human way,” told Neher
to the Le Figaro daily.
>
> Neher has quite an unorthodox request. He wants permission
from the government to send a bus to one of the refugee centers
in Malta or Lampedusa in Italy to bring asylum seekers to his
hometown. Neher has already planned to accommodate refugees in a
vacant building that can house about 60 migrants.

Still, the Greens remain for now the only party with similar
estimates to mine on how many refugees Germany could actually
take if it were serious about the issue:
--- Quote ---
> At the beginning of January, many were also surprised by the
proposal of the German Green Party to accept about 150 million
undocumented climate refugees.

Thank you Cuomo!

--- Quote ---
> New York Gov. Cuomo signs Protect Our Courts Act prohibiting
ICE from making arrests in state courthouses
> ...
> The Protect Our Courts Act, signed Tuesday, comes amid
concerns from immigration advocates that fears of being arrested
deter undocumented immigrants from making court appearances. The
bill prevents Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents
without a warrant signed by a federal judge, from arresting
anyone inside a statehouse, or those going to or leaving a court
proceeding.
>
> "Unlike this federal government, New York has always protected
our immigrant communities," N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a
news release. "This legislation will ensure every New Yorker can
have their day in court without fear of being unfairly targeted
by ICE or other federal immigration authorities."

--- Quote ---
> The incoming administration will focus on decreasing wait
times to obtain citizenship, granting automatic green cards to
protected undocumented immigrants and adding immigration judges
to decrease backlogs on court hearings, Vice President-elect
Kamala Harris said on Tuesday.
>
> Speaking with Univision's Ilia Calderón, Harris teased a
sweeping immigration reform bill that her and President-elect
Joe Biden's administration plans to introduce. Harris said their
bill would grant green cards immediately to immigrants protected
by the Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals policies. She added that the administration
would also try to decrease the amount of time required to
acquire U.S. citizenship to eight years from 13 years by making
the naturalization process more efficient.

Very weak. Does Harris understand Demographic Blueshift or not?
If she does, why would she not want more Blue voters?

Caravan of Central American migrants heads toward US border
--- Quote ---
> Thousands of migrants from central America are gathering in
Guatemala for an expected push north towards the United States.
Mexican border forces are on alert for their arrival. It's
thought the migrants are hoping Joe Biden's incoming
administration will be less tough on migration than the current
one.
> Determined not to stop till they reach the US, a group of
several thousand Honduran migrants, now in Guatemala, have been
walking for weeks. Some of them clashed with Guatemalan police
as authorities tried to push them back towards the border. But
with little effect. Escaping an economy battered by the
pandemic, gang violence and hurricanes - they are seeking a
better life in the North.
> With a new US administration being sworn in next week and Joe
Biden promising a more humane approach to immigration, these
travelers are hopeful.
> Mexican authorities have deployed 500 officers to the border.
An agreement with the US stops them letting migrants through.
But, like so many before them, the people here see no
alternative but to keep pushing on.

Not only the architects of the policy should be prosecuted, but
so should all those who had any part in implementing it on the
ground:

--- Quote ---
> On his first day in office, Joe Biden plans to float an
immigration bill that could provide approx 11M people living in
the U.S. without legal status an eight-year path to citizenship.
The legislation, which would help fulfill one of President-elect
Biden's campaign promises to Latinx and other immigrant
communities, is a marked shift from the Trump administration's
harsh policies and significant deportations during the last 4
years.
>
> Under the terms of the bill, undocumented immigrants who pass
criminal background checks, pay taxes, and meet other
unspecified requirements would become eligible for a green card
after 5 years, with a 3-year path to naturalization thereafter.
DREAMers, agricultural workers, and people under temporary
protective status are eligible for green cards even faster if
they meet certain criteria. The likelihood of the bill's passage
in a tightly split Senate has yet to be determined.
