"Caravan participants are escaping brutal conditions of poverty and state violence, enforced by American imperialism. In 2009, the Obama administration and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton instigated a coup d’état against the country’s elected president, Manuel Zelaya, initiating a reign of terror that continues to this day. "
Any socialist understands that the capitalist economy of the United States - now booming according to President Donald Trump-simply cannot quickly assimilate thousands of refugee victims of imperialist crimes against humanity.
The fears of working class citizens in these more prosperous countries overwhelmed by refugees are not groundless and based on innate bigotry and racist ill will. " Will they take our jobs ? Are they desperate enough to steal, to commit violent crimes ? Must WE compete with them for social services and health care ? "
And honest socialist will assert that ONLY a socialist system can prevent a dirty war WITHIN the working class.
Our Rhode Island Governor , " liberal " ( ? ) Gina Raimondo is getting famous for " welcoming " the new refugees, Syrians among them, to " Little Rhody ". Yet the state's social service system is already a disaster. Many seniors citizens here are at least semi-dependent on SNAP ( food ) benefits. The MOLOCH COMPUTER in charge of all social service payments is technically INSANE .
Living under the Cranston Housing Authority , I was told recently that my SNAP benefits would be cut in half. But it was all a digital MISTAKE, so they say.
I thank Providence Journal veteran reporter Tom Mooney for investigating my story- which , if true , would have affected thousands of senior citizens - likely voters- in Rhode Island. In an e-mail to me , Mooney wondered how many other victims there were of a dysfunctional DHS .
When I tried to call the DHS office for an explanation I could not understand the far away sounding Spanish accent voice. Do they outsource complaints to Honduras - Providence Mayor Elorza 's favored choice ?
There are no simple answers here to " illegal immigration " . But Nature, at least , knows no eternal boundaries. Viewed from the moon the Good Earth is all just one place.
