@vfrmedia

I’m happy to help people look for work in the UK,

e.g. give them a list of job sites and CV phrasing tips (wait. I should do that anyway, huh. Hoorah! Less social)

Indeed.co.uk, reed.co.uk,

monster (yes it’s a job site),

jobcentreplus (idfk man, sometimes I find gold, sometimes nothing),

guardian / telegraph / independent / metro / local newspaper jobs,

individual employers’ career pages (look in the website footer: the little lists of weblinks at the very bottom of a webpage, usually. Sometimes they’ll be in the header or navigation menu at the top or along one side).

His #massdeportation plans would crash the American economy -even an attempt to deport Ms of ppl will have repercussions.

Many economists say removing Ms of #immigrants from the workforce would cause a costly shock to already tight labor markets & stressed supply chains.
Hardest hit: farming, CONST, hospitality & food services.

Building/maintaining/repairing houses, groceries, restaurants, travel & child care-⬆️prices.

Prices⬆️ ~9%, while US PROD & employment: ⬇️.

Scripps News · Experts predict mass deportation would damage US economyBy Patrick Terpstra

Many sheriffs saw these arrangements as highly desirable—an easy way to pump fed$ into their communities & turn the local jail into a rev-producing inst. Some sheriffs had strong pol & ideological commitments to deportation/IMG restriction. As communities overbuilt jail space in the 1980s-90s, working with the IMG service-way to keep rural jails filled & financially afloat.

She Was Separated From Her 1-Year-Old at the #Border. The #Government Wouldn’t Tell Her Why.

U.S. officials can withhold their rationale in #family separation cases that relate to national #security. There have been about 80 children separated for these reasons this year, with an estimated 50 of them Russian.

I STILL FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE people *actually voted* for someone who spewed SO much vile #racism during the 2024 campaign, and now wants to ignore the generally accepted exceptions of "#Churches, #Schools, and #Hospitals" to round-up "#illegal" #immigrants for #deportation.

While people are TRYING TO EXPLAIN HOW #Hispanics could possibly vote for someone who vilified them, I PERSONALLY don't believe they did. #Investigate2024 #VoterSupression #SaneWashing

How to start a global petition for Iceland to ratify the EU human rights laws.

There is no #freepress in Iceland. Government owned newspapers, all media you see is for investors. The finance minister owns tourism.

Free press in #Iceland please!

The new government gave themselves a huge raise and sold off all social housing debt to a private company who is terrorising the old and weakest for properties in Reykjavik that are worth a fortune to offshore investors laughingly buying "a place" in Reykjavik, in case, laughingly, "The shit hits the fan."

The leapords WILL eat your face too.

"I want a future in which those who seek to exploit #immigrants are the ones who're afraid of LE, not the victims. We can build a fair & level playing field for American workers by passing a path to legal status -or we can crash the economy with #massdeportations.

Congress has a choice. We can instead: “crack down on exploitation, strengthen Ms of families, & build American prosperity” by providing undoc. IMGs a way to fix their papers."

You may not have heard, but there was a man murdered on the street in New York City a few days ago. It's all over the news.

Oh wait, it's not all over the news. Here's the one and only report I have seen so far. You see, this victim was a poor immigrant, so the news media don't care.

A slightly weird question for fellow #immigrants :
If you are of major ethnicity in your home country and emigrated to a country as a minor ethnicity. So
1) you assume you would be treated differently by people and never really know if you were really treated differently Or
2) you did not assume but noticed being treated differently very soon when you arrived?

"White evangelical protestants make up the only major religious group that does not have a majority supporting a path to citizenship [for immigrants]. That support has fallen from 53% in 2013 to 40% now.

The Public Religion Research Institute survey seemed to find an element of hatred in some of the opposition to allowing more undocumented immigrants to become citizens."

"Public opinion research conducted in October [by PRRI] shows a shift in one political party that might make Donald Trump’s election on Nov. 5 less of a surprise. A majority of the party now agrees with a sentiment about immigration that has previously been associated with organized hate — that they are 'poisoning the blood of the country.'”

"Sadly the trick works just as well almost a half century later. Blaming immigrants is a reliably crowd-pleasing diversion from the real problem: the abomination of private, for-profit, market-driven health care. One huge reason Americans are so stressed out and mad is the sheer difficulty of achieving and maintaining access to what should be a basic human right."
