WOW: @miamiherald.com reveals that a person imprisoned in El Salvador had LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS.
He entered the USA legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had previously passed a full background check.

There may be 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Those forces in Europe who are cheering Israel on will also refuse to accept the movement of those refugees to Europe on the grounds that they are safe where they are.

Very striking how much of a gap has opened up between left and right in concern over immigration.
Look at the average and it’s “Britons are getting pretty concerned about immigration”.
Split by party and it becomes “Some Britons are now extremely concerned about immigration, others much less so”.

Unsurprising but still disturbing that asylum seekers who make valid complaints about their living conditions are at risk of being made homeless.

One man convicted of stirring up racial hatred was earning about £1,400 for posting on Twitter. It’s hard to escape the conclusion the site is helping fund fascism in the UK.
