Fire Kills Nearly 40 at Migrant Detention Facility Near US-Mexico Border

It looks like the Biden administration is in a bind here, since it’s being kept from rescinding the Remain in Mexico policy by conservative judges. To me, the morality is clear: desperate asylum seekers should not be treated like criminals. It’s also bizarre to refuse entry when the US is experiencing a labor shortage. The courts must expedite a resolution to end this stupid policy.

I also see this as a moral obligation on the part of the US for many of the asylum seekers. Much of the turmoil in Latin America is in one way or another linked to the United States, whether it be foreign policy, flow of drugs to the US’s market, or a history of meddling. Of course it’s not totally on the US, like with Venezuelans fleeing Maduro’s regime. But there too, there are important humanitarian principles involved.

Venezuelans are fleeing the conditions that US sanctions created. The whole region has been destabilized by your murderous regime, and now its putting people who are fleeing the conditions your fascist government created are being put into concentration camps.

Anybody who actually wants to know why Latin America is the way it is today need to read Killing Hope to understand the kinds of crimes against humanity US regime has been committing there.
