White Supremacist Nasty Nazi Distraction Tactic Alert

[Soph0571]

Did you hear the one where Trump has used a deadly pandemic to push his far-right white is right vision of America be Nazi and has cancelled all immigration because American jobs for Americans? Bloody red meat for the right-wing masses but here in the real world…meh.

1. Who the hell is emigrating anywhere when the whole world is in lock down?
2. Who the hell is emigrating to a country that is one huge hotspot for COVID-19?
3. How is anyone actually going to get to America? I mean logistically trying to get a flight is a dangerous expensive nightmare. Is he talking about Canadians putting on a backpack and trekking across the border?
4. You would need to be living in desperate circumstances (as in a refugee camp somewhere) to make America your country of choice with Trump in charge, constantly encouraging and inciting his base to despise and hate you, by virtue of you not being ‘American’ enough.

His racist nasty America for Americans white nazi nationalist xenophobic base is of course going to love this. The messaging on right wing media will be fawning at the ‘genius’ of this tactic to get America back to work. In reality over 22 million have lost their jobs so far during this crisis and it is unlikely these jobs will be coming back anytime soon. We know that this administration has already done everything they can to stop anyone black or brown coming to America, in 2017/2018 c 200,000 emigrated to America, I am sure it was less last year and 2020 would have seen a further decline. Even if borders where kept open it would not make one tiny tiny dent in the current unemployment crisis. But that is not really the point, is it?

All of this is a distraction from his utter incompetence in handling the pandemic, and as a white supremacist nasty fucker he will always take every opportunity he can to try and 'make America white again'.

1. Two weeks ago, in the middle of this pandemic

Jamaican farm workers left here on a charter flight heading to the US and Canada. As Rachel always says watch what this racist idiot does not what he says. Any immigrants his rich friends need will be granted visas.

Risking COVID-19 For Work - J’can Farm Workers Head To US, Canada In Midst Of Coronavirus Outbreak

Despite the alarming rate at which lives are being lost to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in North America, Jamaicans are still willing to take the risk to participate in the seasonal overseas work programmes. However, this time they have to sign a waiver absolving the Government of any liability if they become infected with the potentially deadly respiratory disease.

Agreeing to the terms of the Instrument of Release and Discharge document, last week, several Jamaican farm workers left the island to travel to various parts of the COVID-19 hard-hit United States and Canada.

“The fact is, the employers wanted the workers and the workers were given a choice if they wanted to take up the offer at this time,” Colette Roberts Risden, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, told The Sunday Gleaner.

“It is an employment arrangement between the employer and the worker, and they have to get approval from the labour department in the United States in order to bring in foreign worker

2. I think they will stop it right?

Cause 22 million people who are currently unemployed are of course prepared to the hugely physically demanding back breaking work of migrant labour? They tried to pull that same shit over here and have ended up having to fly in plane loads of romanians because the food is at risk of rotting in the field. And if I was a Jamaican who relies on the migrant worker programme for cash, I would be trying to head for Canada if possible... at least they would give a shit if you got sick, which you would be much less likely to do of course

4. My niece, born in the US, is staying in Prague for the duration

She was due to come back to the US for a short stay, then given the choice to ride out the pandemic in the US or Prague. Prague seemed like the sfest option to her, given our "dear leader."

She is self isolating in Prague with a rescue dog she is fostering. She can't keep the dog long term since her job means she is at refugee camps for extended periods. For now, though, the dog is keeping her occupied and sane.
