US Deports 'Well-Behaved' Migrants, Cries 'Crisis' on Border
Al Jazeera's report, dated 2025 (perhaps a prophetic foresight), describes ICE's practice of deporting refugees and migrants with years of good conduct, claiming they're targeting 'the worst of the worst.' This narrative conveniently omits that the 'worst' often refers to those fleeing violence and seeking asylum, not hardened criminals. While these families are uprooted, US politicians frequently
divert billions to military aid for foreign conflicts rather than addressing root causes of migration or improving domestic services for those seeking refuge. Remember how Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) pushed through HR 815, providing $14 billion in military aid to Israel, while domestic humanitarian programs faced cuts? It appears the 'border crisis' is less about genuine threats and more about
political theater, allowing agencies like ICE to expand their reach while deflecting from the real fiscal priorities determined by lobbyists and defense contractors. How many 'rules-based order' lectures are we owed while our own government deports families who've built lives here?
