On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

solarbird has some thoughts about one of the Vulgarian's latest eruptions on "Pravda Sotsialnaya" yesterday, in which he demanded the US federal government get on with the ethnic cleansing on what I suspect to be Stephen Miller's continuing "advice". She's on point here.

This is one of the major reasons why I still think Canada should get out of the so-called "Safe Third-Country Agreement" with the US government right bloody now. Yesterday would have been better, and today would still be good. We need more people up here in Canada anyway to do all manner of work. Whether it's through regular immigration channels, regular refugee channels, or emergency "save the people about to be put through refoulement ASAP, dammit" measures.

Yes, there's a specific word for what Trump and Miller are trying to do to millions of people across the USA right now.

Refoulement.

That's what "remigration" is code for. Sending them back to the undeserved hells they've escaped from.

I intend to have a word about this with my MP and/or her staff. Today.

...or so I'm informed by John Scalzi, and apparently he got the word from Neil Gaiman. It's supposed to be June 20th. Source:

Seeing as there's a push by the world's more sociopathic politicians right now to criminalize refugees every-damn-where...beyond donating to MSF, UNICEF and Amnesty, publicizing this "Walk With Refugees" news, and one or two other things, I'm unsure of what I can and should do right now that no one else can do.

Just listened to this on the radio. There is a push afoot to ignore the 1951 Convention on Refugees, and I do NOT like it. At all.

Wondered how long it would take for this to happen.
