Unauthorized immigrants

mercredi 26 avril 2017 à 02:00

The troll is planning to prosecute parents that pay to smuggle their children into the US.

Human rights don't include the right to move to the US, or bring someone else to the US. So I have no objection to this plan, in the abstract, as long as it isn't implemented in a cruel way or used to stir up hatred towards immigrants. I expect the troll and his saboteurs to do those things, though.

This issue is completely separate from the issue of how to treat unauthorized immigrants that were brought to the US as children, many years ago. We should offer them citizenship.

Callous political plutocracy

mercredi 26 avril 2017 à 02:00

"We scapegoat and impoverish young people while destroying the world we older, luckier ones inherited. As abdications of duty go, this one is absolute."

Consigning most young people to a precarious and painful life results from the callous political plutocracy squeezing on one side while growing global population, global heating, and overusing the world's resources squeeze on the other size.

Humanity can't continue its profligate resource use. But it could, if it tried to, enlist everyone in reducing resource use and reducing the birth rate, while treating everyone as worthy of a decent life.

UK NHS records used for deportation

mercredi 26 avril 2017 à 02:00

In the UK, unauthorized immigrants are afraid to see a doctor lest it lead to deportation.

People living in precarious circumstances should ask themselves, before they make a child, whether it is right to make a child live in precarious circumstances. However, it may be that they can't get reliable birth control or abortions because they fear seeing a doctor.
