President Biden Is Left Silent as He Follows Donald Trump's Barbaric Immigration Policies

One day after Joseph Robinette Biden was inaugurated as President, it was expected that he would continue the Trump administration's most damaging policies. We anticipated that he would strengthen the police state, which he did. We anticipated he would prolong the conflicts and enlarge the military-industrial complex, which he has done. We predicted he would neither stop the “kids in cages” programme nor defund ICE — and in fact, he boosted their budget.

Now, he's following in Trump's footsteps once again, but he's worse, and the mainstream media is choosing to whitewash it.

Haiti has suffered horrendous human rights violations over the last decade. After Haiti was devastated by a magnitude 7 earthquake in 2010, the Clinton Foundation immediately set about collecting more than $30 million for humanitarian efforts. However, local people said that "the projects never materialised completely, while others point to luxurious hotels purportedly built with relief money to enrich the country's governing elite."

According to a 2015 study, the United States annually contributes more than $8 billion to the United Nations, with $3 billion going into the group's "peacekeeping budget." However, the UN's infamous "Peacekeepers" have wreaked havoc in Haiti, and despite being revealed as operating a huge child sex ring, not a single person has been arrested.

The consequences of such an oppressive and totally terrifying atmosphere have resulted in a huge migration of Haitians over the past decade, with many moving to Central and South America. This issue came to a climax in July with the assassination of Haiti's president, and a formula for catastrophe emerged last month when the country was struck by another catastrophic earthquake.

With COVID uncertainty exacerbated by government shutdowns, Haitians started travelling north out of the nations where they had found shelter for many years, eventually arriving in the Texas border town of Del Rio early this month. Due to the turmoil and violence in Haiti, Haitian people are afraid to return home now that their employment in countries such as Chile, Brazil, and Ecuador have dried up – and so many have sought refuge in the United States.

However, contrary to what right-wing commentators in the media say, the asylum application was denied, and the Haitians are being deported back to their “sh*thole” nation.

According to the most recent statistics published by the US State Department's Refugee Processing Center (RPC), the United States has accepted just 7,637 refugees out of a total of 62,500 refugee placeholders. Even at the Trump regime's low point, this number was almost twice that amount.

Joe Biden is not unique among those upset by Trump's decision to put "children in cages" as part of his crackdown on illegal immigration. Bear in mind that he served as vice president under the Obama administration, which actively deported more immigrants than Trump's and also incarcerated "children." Indeed, the photographs used to initially draw attention to children in cages under Trump were shot during Biden's time as Vice President.

Biden's cheerleaders in the mainstream media have remained insultingly quiet, focusing only on the, indeed distressing, pictures of agents on horseback mistreating Haitian immigrants, rather than on the reality that he is identical to his predecessor.

However, those paying attention should be unsurprised. The mistreatment and torture of asylum seekers is a byproduct of the contemporary police state. In the new America, the words "Give me your weary, your hungry, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore" is a distant memory.

Rather than being welcomed, many people fleeing horrific violence in their own country arrive hundreds of kilometres away only to face the same brutality here. Regrettably, this is the norm rather than the exception, since the state's only method of enforcement is via violence.
