[quote]The third night of the DNC confirmed just how
dramatically the party has swung on immigration — to the right.
...
On the third night of the Democratic National Convention four
years ago, immigration was front and center. Americans heard a
series of personal stories about how Trump-era policies had
scrambled immigrants’ and their families’ lives.
...
Four years later, the DNC sounds a lot different, reflecting how
public opinion toward immigration in general has soured as
concerns over how secure the border is have risen. Gone are the
heartfelt testimonies from undocumented immigrants, the
repudiation of Trump-era policies, and the calls for better
treatment of migrants and expansion of asylum protections.
Instead, Wednesday evening’s speakers embraced tougher policies
for asylum seekers, praised President Joe Biden’s attempts to
negotiate a bipartisan border security bill, and conceded the
changed reality of immigration politics since the pandemic’s
dawn.
...
Migrant hardships don’t seem to be much of a concern this year
...
In past party conventions, Democrats made significant attempts
to highlight the plight of young immigrants and immigrant
families — be they families split apart because of immigration
policy, young DREAMers struggling and succeeding in America
despite not having documentation, or activists working toward
immigration reform.
In 2012, for example, Benita Veliz, a DREAMer from San Antonio,
Texas, became the first undocumented person to address a
national party’s political convention — telling millions of
viewers how she graduated as a top student and earned a double
major in college before nearly being deported over a traffic
violation. A DREAMer, she praised the Obama plan to roll out
deportation protections in the Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) program.
Four years later, another DREAMer would join first lady Michelle
Obama and Sen. Bernie Sanders as keynote speakers during
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s convention. Astrid Silva
would tell her story of coming to the US as a 4-year-old with
her mother, climbing into a raft to cross the Rio Grande, with
just “a little doll.”
And 2020 was all about contrasts with Trump, and the human
suffering he had caused during his presidency.
...
But there was hardly any wholehearted embrace of immigration in
general this week, rarely a welcoming of economic migrants
seeking “a better life,” as in past conventions.
...
the direction the party is heading was evident throughout the
night: Gone are the Obama- and Clinton-era days of casting the
Democratic Party as the unequivocal pro-immigrant party. The
differences in the convention platforms make that clear as well.
The 2024 party platform supports quicker deportations of
economic migrants and stricter asylum rules — including the
ability to stop processing those asylum claims.
...
2024’s Democrats sound very different from 2020 — when none of
these kinds of stricter proposals appeared in the party’s
platform.[/quote]
Even if we defeat Trump in the upcoming election, we will not
have defeated Trumpism until we return to the pre-Trump attitude
towards immigration.

[quote]Germany tightens controls at all borders in immigration
crackdown
...
The government has also designed a scheme enabling authorities
to reject more migrants directly at German borders, Faeser said,
without adding details on the controversial and legally fraught
move.
The restrictions are part of a series of measures Germany has
taken to toughen its stance on irregular migration in recent
years following a surge in arrivals, in particular people
fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government is seeking to seize back the
initiative from the opposition far-right and conservatives, who
have seen support rise as they tap into voter worries about
stretched public services, integration and security.
...
"The intention of the government seems to be to show
symbolically to Germans and potential migrants that the latter
are no longer wanted here," said Marcus Engler at the German
Centre for Integration and Migration Research.[/quote]
When the right make agains, False Leftists move rightwards. When
the left makes gains, rightists move further rightwards. Thus
Germany keeps moving rightwards either way.
Will leftsts ever learn to move further leftwards in response to
rightist gains?

[quote]Individuals who use the pro-Palestinian slogan “From the
River to the Sea” on social media may be denied German
citizenship under the country’s new citizenship law, the Federal
Ministry of the Interior reported on Sunday.
Germany’s citizenship law, which came into effect on June 27,
has introduced stricter criteria that may disqualify applicants
who engage in anti-Israel rhetoric, the ministry’s statement
said.
...
the law’s enforcement was both “pro-Israel” and “anti-migrant”
within its policymaking.
...
“This authoritarianism, with its strong foundation of
anti-Muslim and anti-migrant racism, also aligns with the
general rightward trend in German society that is evident in the
electoral successes of the [German far-right populist party]
AfD.”[/quote]

Jeremy Corbyn Questions Starmer Government's Continued Weapon

Scholz confirms Germany will send more arms to Israel 'soon'
despite a sharp drop in exports in 2024
[quote]German Chancellor Olaf Scholz clashed with opposition
leader Friedrich Merz over weapons deliveries to Israel. Scholz
and Merz, chairman of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), were
participating in a parliamentary debate about the war in Gaza
and Germany's weapons shipments to Israel. Scholz dismissed
Merz's claim that the government was refusing to allow shipments
of ammunition to Israel, citing the significant drop in weapons
exports to Israel in 2024. Scholz responded to the opposition’s
accusations, insisting that Germany stands by its ally Israel.
Germany has long been Israel’s second-biggest foreign supplier
of weapons. Data compiled by the Stockholm International Peace
Research Institute shows that Germany delivered 30% of Israel’s
major weapons imports. Between 2019 and 2023, Germany was second
only to the US in these deliveries, with third-placed Italy
providing less than 1%.[/quote]

Bill Clinton criticised for saying Israel ‘forced’ to kill Gaza
civilians

HTML https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/31/bill-clinton-criticised-for-saying-israel-forced-to-kill-gaza-civilians
Arab and Muslim leaders call former US president’s comments
‘insulting’ and ‘counterproductive’.
[quote]Former United States President Bill Clinton is facing
backlash from US Muslim and Arab Americans after saying Israel
has been “forced” to kill civilians in Gaza and suggesting the
country was in the Holy Land “first” – before the Palestinians.
Speaking at a rally for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala
Harris in Michigan, a crucial swing US state with large Arab and
Muslim populations who the Democrats are trying to win over,
Clinton said he understood people’s concerns about the bloodshed
in Gaza, but said Israel had no choice but to inflict large
civilian losses, even as it is accused of genocide in the
International Court of Justice.
“Hamas makes sure that they’re shielded. They’ll force you to
kill civilians if you want to defend yourself,” Clinton said.
“I’m going to do everything I can to convince people they cannot
murder their way out of this, either side,” he later added.

Of course not! Why would Trump voters vote for an imitation of
Trump when they can vote for the actual Trump? I explained this
