Today in Labor History August 27, 1918: The U.S. Army, including Buffalo Soldiers, fought Mexican Carrancistas in the Battle of Ambos Nogales, the only battle of World War I that was fought on American soil. It is alleged that German forces were supporting the Mexican Revolutionaries and that two German soldiers died in the battle. However, the battle was precipitated by cross border firing into the U.S. during a sectarian fight between in the armies of Venustiano Carranza and Pancho Villa, who were struggling for control of Nogales Sonora (Mexican Nogales), as well as by racist, anti-Mexican hysteria in the U.S. that was being whipped up by the media. In the aftermath, the U.S. constructed the first permanent wall on its southern border, and began building walls at many other border crossings, as well.

I've been fascinated by Tijuana for a long time, and I've written many articles about the city, where I've seen parallels to developments in Indy. I distilled some of that experience into this prologue for a travel journal I plan to write. I will travel this fall along the entire length of the border. I'm planning to talk to as many people as I can along the way

#climatedisplacement is often a deeply painful, financially destabilizing process—one made worse by the shortcomings of #federal #disasterpolicy, the whims of the private #realestate market, and decades of #racistpolicies that determined who could own property, and where, in this country.

#BorderPatrol (#CBP) Is Caging #Migrants Outdoors During Deadly #Arizona #Heatwave
Photos by The Intercept show roughly 50 migrants confined in chain-link pen at #Ajo Border Patrol station with little shade in lethal #desert. Border Patrol station in Ajo can process a few hundred people a day, and on Monday upward of 800 to 1,000 people turned themselves in at the #borderwall. "they would put people out in the parking lot if they have to. I don’t know they had a choice.”

This state is run by evil people. I knew it was bad, but it's always worse.

by #JoshIsrael in The #AmericanIndependent:

"The Republican Study Committee, which calls itself 'the conservative caucus of House Republicans,' is proposing $16.3 trillion in spending cuts and $5.1 trillion in tax cuts over a decade in its fiscal year 2024 budget proposal. Chair Kevin Hern said in a press release: 'Our conservative values are on display on every page. Our budget proves that fiscal responsibility is the only way to lower inflation, grow the economy, cut federal spending, empower taxpayers, and protect small businesses.'"

Huge Gaps in Border Wall Discovered While Searching for Human Remains Near Guadalajara (Near Northwestern Mexico) - Video Interview (5 minutes)

Gaps large enough that you can walk through with no obstruction. https://tinyurl.com/y2atzmx6

Interview with Muckraker.com founder Anthony Rubin who reveals the gaps which appear intentional.

Rubin says wall doesn't really make a difference anyway because the border patrol will meet crossers at locations where there are gaps and load them on to a big white bus and ship them into the interior.
