in countries where abduction and rape are common

The brutal reality of our asylum policy
Reid has declared war on some of the most oppressed of the world. His
department operates policies and practices of institutionalised
savagery, rebranded as efficiency. On Tuesday, Tough John will tell us

applicants coming in. To get to target, they pick low-hanging fruit -
babies, tots, mums, who will go quietly weeping.
Today a planeload - 23 adults and 19 children - will be on charter
flight XLA4334 to the Democratic Republic of Congo where, since 1998,
more than four million people have been murdered

04: US - A Humanitarian Crisis at the Border: New Estimates of Deaths

In the mid-1990s, the U.S. government’s militarization of the border
closed off major urban points of unauthorized migration in Texas and
California and funneled hundreds of thousands of unauthorized immigrants
through southern Arizona’s deserts and mountains. As a result, immigrant
deaths along the border have increased dramatically.
