Remember that time UKGOV was snatching people off the streets for spurious Immigration reasons and people reacted to that without violence and the initiative was quietly dropped...but only after some people were deported and they're still waiting to be allowed back and compensated?

And the Racists still weren't happy...

The Guardian · ‘Snatching off the streets’: Ice targets churches, car washes and workplacesBy Dani Anguiano

Brits will turn on Foreigners in the blink of an eye, we did with Brexit, we do it every time the Far Right baits a White Riot on social media...we are not much different from the States, why would we be? We're both Colonialists.

The Guardian · ‘In 14 years, never anything like this’: Ballymena’s foreigners describe fear after riotingBy Rory Carroll

Could #BillC2 set the stage for mass Trump-style mass deportations in #Canada? Advocates are concerned.

“Prime Minister #MarkCarney campaigned on being different from #DonaldTrump, yet his very first bill is a shameful capitulation to #racism and #xenophobia, which abandons Canada’s legal and moral obligations to #refugees and #migrants”.

“Bill C-2 is a massive expansion of #Authoritarian powers… it is egregious that this is the first bill this government has put out”.

“This Bill will only worsen a humanitarian catastrophe. This bill is immoral, it is illegal, and it will be stopped”.

Prior erasures?
Yes, nothing but prior attempts at erasure all the way down.
We could reframe "History" as a glance at a huge board where children are scrapping + clamoring over each other to chalk up + erase, chalk up + write over...

Yesterday, Prime Minister Mark Carney introduced Bill C-2, a 126 page omnibus bill misleadingly titled the "Strong Borders Act." While it is being framed as border security legislation, this Bill is actually a shameful capitulation to racism and xenophobia that abandons Canada's legal and moral obligations to refugees and migrants. The Bill also massively increases policing and surveillance powers which have historically been used against racialized people.

What Bill C-2 Will Do If Passed

Blocks Refugee Applications After One Year: If you've been in Canada for more than one year, Bill C-2 says you CAN'T apply for refugee protection – even if your home country becomes dangerous AFTER you arrive. This applies retroactively to EVERYONE who arrived after June 24, 2020.

Creates a Mass Deportation Machine: The bill allows officials to cancel or suspend immigration documents for ENTIRE GROUPS of people without going through courts. The Immigration Minister gains unchecked power to:
Cancel work, study, or refugee claimant permits overnight

Throw out permanent residency applications

Remove status from thousands at the same time

Eliminates US Border Refugee Exception: Currently, if you cross from the US between official border crossings and avoid detection for 14 days, you can then apply for refugee status in Canada.

Bill C-2 ELIMINATES this exception completely – meaning people fleeing Trump's persecution will be even more trapped.

Removes Privacy Protections: The government wants power to share private information about migrants between all levels of government without restrictions.

This change will expose migrants to further abuse. For example, undocumented workers could face deportation for trying to assert their labour rights against exploitative employers because of information sharing with border enforcement.

We Are Already In Crisis

Right now, 3,000+ study and work permits are already expiring EVERY DAY under current policies. Bill C-2 will make this humanitarian catastrophe infinitely worse.
This isn't about border security or US Tarrifs – it's about the deliberate expansion of a mass deportation machine designed to tear apart families and communities. 

TAKE ACTION NOW!

I’ll say it yet again: The current White House occupant is no friend to the #Jews. Only about 1 in 4 #Jewish voters hadn’t figured that out by Election Day; I certainly hope they’ve gotten the message since.

If the UK were run by smart people they'd be attracting fleeing American scientists with some kind of 'Bell Labs' arrangement to kick start our economy with scientific discovery and actual innovation.

Instead we'll just invest heavily in the AI scam, totally fuck our education system and blame it all on Small Boats.

Being undocumented is a civil offense—not a crime. But that never stopped Stephen Miller, the ghoulish architect of Trump’s deportation machine. To him, “criminal alien” meant anyone brown, poor, or inconvenient. This was never about law. It was about hate.

MSNBC · Trump promised to deport the worst of the worst. Stephen Miller knew better.By Hayes Brown

"As part of a sweeping reorganization of the State Department, the Trump administration is creating an Office of Remigration. Remigration is an immigration policy embraced by extremists that calls for the removal of all migrants—including “non-assimilated” citizens—with the goal of creating white ethnostates in Western countries.

The details of the plan are contained in a 136-page notification document sent by the State Department to six Congressional commitees—including the House Foreign Affairs and Appropriations Committees and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee—for approval by July 1, according to a copy reviewed by WIRED.

“The Office of Remigration will serve as the [Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration]’s hub for immigration issues and repatriation tracking,” the document reads. “It will provide a policy platform for interagency coordination with DHS and other agencies on removals/repatriations, and for intra-agency policy work to advance the President’s immigration agenda.”

The notification says that the Office of Remigration “will also actively facilitate the voluntary return of migrants to their country of origin or legal status,” which is a key aim of remigration ideology.

The document, which was first reported on by Reuters and The Handbasket, also outlines dramatic changes to the US diplomatic services, including the elimination of much of the Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Bureau, and the addition of a new deputy assistant secretary position to oversee “Democracy and Western Values.”"
