This statue of migrant family is found on the Freemantle Wharf. Many ships coming from Europe had Fremantle as their first stop before continuing on to the eastern states.
Given how the British and Europeans arrived here I do find it ironic that some want to ban all further migration, particularly of certain peoples. As Australia is not reproducing at replacement rate we do need to have a reasonable migration strategy, but not be swamped by the untold millions in the world that would like a safe home, work and place to raise their children.
Since coming back from WA I have tested positive for Covid and spent all day in bed. This is the second time I have got Covid and it seems worse than the last time, which is annoying! HSS

Immigration Officer: Why are you here?
Me: I'm an immigrant...this is my mother's last wish- to experience working & living in the USA.
Nash, nativo di Blackpool nel Lancashire inglese, scrisse questa canzone quando, non avendo all’epoca ancora la doppia nazionalità, fu fermato dagli agenti dell’immigrazione al suo ingresso negli USA. Non volevano farlo entrare e lo tennero in attesa per un bel po’ finchè alcuni fans lo riconobbero e cominciarono ad assieparsi per aver un autografo. Solo allora le guardie si decisero a concerdergli il visto d’ingresso.
Fu per Nash un’esperienza molto irritante ed umiliante.
Figuriamoci se non sei Graham Nash, se non sei nessuno, anzi, un disperato, affamato, sporco e per giunta africano che cerca di passare la frontiera con la Francia a Ventimiglia, o su un treno del Sempione per raggiungere la Svizzera, o fermato al Brennero cercando di raggiungere l’Austria o la Germania...
Ma che Europa è questa, che taglieggia ed affama la sua stessa gente (vedi Grecia) e chiude le frontiere rifiutando la dovuta accoglienza a profughi che fuggono da guerre e carestie?
Nash, a native of Blackpool in English Lancashire, wrote this song when, not having the dual nationality at the time, he was stopped by immigration agents as he entered the US. They didn't want to let him in and kept him waiting for quite a while until some fans recognized him and began to gather for an autograph. Only then did the guards decide to grant him an entry visa. It was a very irritating and humiliating experience for Nash. Imagine if you are not Graham Nash, if you are no one, on the contrary, a desperate, hungry, dirty and moreover African who tries to cross the border with France in Ventimiglia, or on a Simplon train to reach Switzerland, or stopped at Brenner trying to reach Austria or Germany ... But what kind of Europe is this, which cuts and starves its own people (see Greece) and closes its borders by refusing to accept refugees fleeing war and famine?
Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement, often north and south, along a flyway, between breeding and wintering grounds. Many species of bird migrate. Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by the availability of food.
I was lucky... This flock of birds, was flying around, late in the afternoon, right outside my window in a really low flight ...

The second part of the exhibition was aimed towards immigration into Germany.
"You will find yourself in the extension building in Germany - in a shop passage in 1973. Up-to-date daily newspapers are hanging in front of a kiosk. The headlines read: "Recruitment freeze in Germany", "No more guest workers to Germany". It was November 24, 1973, the day after foreign workers stopped recruiting. How was it in the Federal Republic that day? How important was the political decision for West German society and the people who had already immigrated?"

Der zweite Teil der Ausstellung befasst sich mich der Einwanderung nach Deutschland.
Man kommt als erstes auf diesen Kiosk zu.
"Im Erweiterungsbau finden Sie sich in Deutschland wieder – in einer Ladenpassage im Jahr 1973. Vor einem Kiosk hängen gut sichtbar aktuelle Tageszeitungen. Die Schlagzeilen lauten: „Anwerbestopp in Deutschland“, „Keine Gastarbeiter mehr nach Deutschland“. Es ist der 24. November 1973, der Tag nach dem Anwerbestopp ausländischer Arbeitskräfte. Wie sah es in der Bundesrepublik an diesem Tag aus? Welche Bedeutung hatte die politische Entscheidung für die westdeutsche Gesellschaft und die bereits eingewanderten Menschen?"
Sometimes I think...we left the sun behind...immigrated...to have these little funny reflections of moonlight on dark dead stones...
sorry....rarely...

March 30, 2021: A Path to Citizenship for All. Rise and Resist Immigration Vigil at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal
For people arriving by boat. We tried to book a boat ticket to Kawthoung, but it turned out the effects of Typhoon Haiyan could be felt all the way over here. While the bay directly in front of the town seemed calm, the boat operators assured us that all boats in the oceanways of Tanintharyi Division were canceled due to rough waters.
In 2013 it was difficult getting information in Myeik: few English speakers, internet so slow as to be pointless. In reality, at the time we had no way of knowing that it was a typhoon, what its name was, or origin. (the staff at the boat office that canceled our tickets guessed that it was a big storm in Vietnam).

You cannot fail to be moved when walking this floor where millions have walked before seeking hope in the USA.
Donald Trump's immigration policy would effectively have barred his own grandfather. But then he is in denial as to where his inherited wealth came from and doesn't believe in paying his taxes. Hey! that's the American Way!!
Immigrants from Mexico and Central America have a difficult time entering the U.S. legally, but until recently, ICE made little effort to arrest illegal aliens at the workplace.
