SB4

What does history say about SB4,



The U.S. Supreme Court on March 6, 1857, ruled (7–2) that a slave (Dred Scott) who had resided in a free state and territory (where slavery was prohibited) was not thereby entitled to his freedom.  That African Americans were not and could never be citizens of the United States.

That the Missouri Compromise (1820), which had declared free all territories west of Missouri and north of latitude 36°30′, was unconstitutional. The decision added fuel to the sectional controversy and pushed the country closer to civil war.

Abbot wants to read history another way.

The U.S. Supreme Court on March 19th, 2024, ruled (6–3) that a wetback (Juan) who had resided in a free state and territory (where work is a right) is not hereby entitled to Work.  That Hispanics are not, and can not ever be citizens of the United States.

A long photo essay about the death count at the southern border.

A general tale of tragedy which in my usual caring manner jumped into my brain as "Who pays for all these dead people?"

Anyone who has dealt with a funeral knows it costs money to dispose of the meat package once the soul has left on its journey to the Great Beyond.  As the numbers creep upward down on the TX border, you have a ton of people needed to collect, catalogue and dispose of the corpses you gotta pay, I hope slightly more than min wage.

I'm sure the local taxpayers don't like this much, but I also imagine getting enough money from the state or feds to cover it is close to impossible.  I also suspect this problem will grow to the point the bodies will pile up faster than they can be removed.  Piles of Skulls and Bones at the border.



Collapse.

'Where do we put the bodies?'

A young man or woman trying to make their way in the world.  Willing to work their ass off and travel thousands of miles to build a normal life.  Killed by a desert they were unprepared for.  How can you know this and not be changed.

QuoteUpon seeing the bottle, I thought it was a repurposed bleach bottle. It had a similar shape and size. Enciso tells me that these plastic bottles are made in Mexico, specifically with migrants in mind. The bottles are black because they don't "shine at night," he says.

By 2050, 200 Million Climate Refugees May Have Fled Their Homes. But International Laws Offer Them Little Protection

Thousands of migrants return to beaches in Ceuta after new port facility runs out of space

A surge in migrant arrivals overwhelmed Ceuta’s facilities, leaving thousands stranded on beaches amid chaos and scarce shelter, prompting police to fire warning shots. Officials warned of a looming humanitarian crisis and called for accelerated return procedures to avoid the region becoming a permanent detention hub, as local resources buckled under unprepared demand.


This particular situation has been making the Newz quite a bit, but it's a tiny drop in the bucket of the current Global Refugee problem.  Whether it's due to Political, Economic or Climate problems, the number of displaced people now living in Refugee Camps is now estimated to be around 350 Million.  That's about the same population as the FSoA. Many of these folks have been living in these Concentration Camps for YEARS.

Does anyone have even the remotest idea for a solution to this problem?  Nope.  Is it at least stabilizing or shrinking?  Nope.  When it gets to a Billion, is it enough to call it collapse if the FSoA just deports people to these camps and BAU goes on for everyone else?
