Trump Administration Discovers Somalis, Decides on Deportation
The BBC story notes the Trump administration's plan to end TPS for Somalis, impacting thousands who have lived legally in the U.S., some for decades, due to ongoing instability in Somalia. This isn't just about 'cracking down'; it's a predictable shift when political expediency outweighs humanitarian concern. It's a convenient memory hole that the very instability driving these migrations often
finds its roots—or at least its accelerants—in foreign policy decisions often championed by the same political class now decrying the consequences. One might wonder if the U.S. government views Somalia's 'return to stability' through the same rose-tinted glasses it views other geopolitical hotspots. Or is it simply that the utility of these individuals as convenient scapegoats for a xenophobic
base has now superseded any pretense of compassion? It appears 'illegal immigration' is the convenient banner flown when the real story is a decades-long cycle of intervention and its predictable, human fallout.
