Shameful treatment of NYC students as migrants needs come first

It’s utterly unforgivable that thousands of James Madison HS students had their education disrupted when their Brooklyn school was closed to house nearly 2,000 migrants. Fearing that Tuesday’…

Reading the comments they're not happy bunnies. Capitalism doesn't seem to figuring as number one in their top ten list of priorities.

So they house these migrants because the shelters for these migrants were crap, so the school got lumbered with the problem.

That tells half the story.

That tells half the story.

New York City built a migrant tent camp on a remote former airfield. Then winter arrived

New York City’s hasty pre-storm evacuation of a massive tent shelter for migrants has become a flashpoint in the national debate over migrants entering the country’s southern border.

So they knew it would cause issues but went ahead with it because they wanted to get some right wing ire - it worked.

Migration will only increase because of climate change and our tacit support for crap regimes because they supply us with vital resources.

If countries worked together more often a lot of these issues could be tackled far better than the current approach.

That's one way of looking at it.
Thought countries leaders attending WEF meetings were all working together on open borders.

No, they weren't.

Why do you think that?

What info are you privy to

They're everywhere. If we take the media as our only source of info. However, often idiots get more attention than they deserve - skewing people's perception of an area or country. Having visited The States, I can say that it's not quite like in the news, etc. The excesses of stupidity, consumption, patriotism are the exception and most of them are just like us. Could say the same things about Russia - voting for Putin for decades or the endless Russian car crash videos would make you think they're all stupid.

It's the poorly educated rural USA that folk understand little about.
They make our RWR look like geniuses. Gullible is not a strong enough word.

That document doesn't mention open borders, even once. You're not doing a Gnat and reading between the lines, where the truth lies, are you?

FFS. No, it doesn't use the phrase 'open borders', just puts a spin on the benefits of not having borders.

The world is becoming more global. More than ever people are proactively deciding where to live, where to study, where to work. Sometimes it’s out of necessity, sometimes it’s out of choice. But the opening up of the world thanks to technology and other factors like simpler regulation means we don’t need to stay within the borders of the country in which we were born. It’s even possible to be an e-Resident of a country.
Being a ‘global citizen’ is no longer reserved for the global elite. Thanks to the democratising power of technology, it’s not a trend determined by privilege or even age but by attitude. Technology gives us a level of global interconnectedness that we’ve never before experienced. If we couple that physical/virtual interconnectedness with an attitude of openness, then the world becomes both limitless and a lot smaller.
However, this macro-trend seems to be experiencing a few setbacks at the moment. There is increased rhetoric in parts of the world about the need for borders and walls. The voices in favour of borders that are heard at the moment come from a position of fear, perhaps of change or the unknown. In some cases these voices highlight some of the challenges in a society that’s changing at speed; those voices need to be heard, and solutions found.
In other cases, these voices come from a fear that the balance of power will change. Well, maybe it needs to. Because once you start building borders, the world retreats into different cells closed off from each other and competing out of insecurity and limitation. It closes down potential and opportunity.

he thinks saying this makes him clever because only he is privy to the “special knowledge”

the reality is it’s conspiracist nonsense.

I'd mentioned agenda30 again but I fail to see the point they're so sub serviant and in awe.
Notchy doesn't even know how much Blairs pulling the strings of the labour party.
