Dipsacus fullonum (Wild Teasel, German: Wilde Karde) is native to Eurasia and North Africa. It has been naturalised in many regions away from their native range. It‘ also a medical plant, the root is used for all kind of deseases: jaundice, liver problems, small wounds and warts.
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 is not the problem.
If you think that your country is suffering because of immigration, that there are no jobs, that public services are starved of money, that housing is in crisis, and there are politicians screaming that immigration is to blame - then immigration is not the problem. Misappropriation of public finances is the problem. Immigrants are the scapegoat.
They are not immigrants unless proven to be so either and the overwhelming majority on those 'small boats' actually qualify for asylum as genuine refugees.
So refugees are the problem?
Just remember this, if you only take one thing away from my words here:
We are all just one catastrophe away from needing to seek asylum as a refugee.
In an increasingly unstable world with the coming climate change crisis, food and water security crisis and the beating of war drums around the world, don't think that your need to seek asylum is a distant impossibility. It can happen to any of us.
In a world where you can be anything. Be kind. Care. Take care of others in need if you are in a position to do so. Walk a mile in somebody else's shoes.
Our whole world is built upon the movement of people.
Fight hate with love. Kill it with kindness.

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.
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 ...

Yungaba Immigration Centre is a heritage-listed former immigration hostel at 102 Main Street, Kangaroo Point, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, alongside the Brisbane River. It was designed by John James Clark and built c. 1885 by William Peter Clark. It is also known as Yungaba Immigration Depot, Immigration Barracks, and No.6 Australian General Hospital. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992.
Yungaba House has now been converted for upmarket living. It sits just below the western end of the Story Bridge seen in my recent shot of the city of Brisbane. You can see the safety fence on the bridge above the roof of the centre. The building extends out of shot on the left, it's quite large. The city, on the other side of the river can be seen in the rear.
For those interested, this rather long Wiki article will take you through the lot.
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...
The new immigration law in Arizona (SB-1070), that recently passed is one of the most shameful acts to pass in recent years. What most people believe will clean up the streets of illegal immigrants, is only a mask of its true intentions.
The law was written and created by Russell Pearce, a man with close ties to white supremacists and white nationalists, and who in 2006 forwarded emails from National Alliance, a white separatist group. The email was called "White Rules America" and criticized black and white intermixing as well as the Jews for promoting racial equality. This man, is also a Holocaust denier. He's also a close and personal friend of neo-nazi activists like J.T Ready. The assumption of this law is that it will only affect illegals and "clean up the streets of America". In reality, what is being done is bigoted, cruel and without a doubt, disgusting. This new law will only give the xenophobic and flat-out racists and reactionaries, the bump they need to harass private citizens and anyone they assume is not here legally. This will only lead to tragic consequences for those who don't look white.
Arizona state Governor Jan Brewer has stated that under this law racial profiling is prohibited, but let's get a dose of reality. That is EXACTLY what will happen. Behind the mask that it will serve a greater good and deter illegals from being there, the true motives behind this law is something purely racist and sinister. What the people behind this truly want is to slowly build up to an ethnic cleansing of America.
The architects behind this insanity, empower the worst kind of racists to go around and harass anyone who isn't white. If you don't believe or see that, I'm sorry for you. What we have is a law that potentially will cause the death of innocent people, Americans and illegals.
My father was born in Arizona, he is an American citizen who is also a first generation Mexican and first generation German. And yet, because he speaks, writes and reads in Spanish more fluently than in English, he's persecuted by slack-jawed yokels for not being white or American enough. He has been physically assaulted, spit on, verbally attacked and told to get his "wetback face" out of the country he was born in. This bill will only increase such outrageous cruelties. And although we're fortunate to live in California, that doesn't save anyone else. This law is to be a litmus test; to see if such a law can be passed in this country. If successful, the same architects behind SB1070 plan to push for similar laws in every state.
I've heard some ridiculous remarks about how wonderful this law is. Some by people I once assumed to be friends. These people, even after learning about the bigoted nature of the people who created this bill, don't care. They are so consumed by the idea that this backward law will rid them of illegals, that they forget so much. Most Americans who support SB1070 live outside Arizona. They are unaware of the fragile political reality in the border counties of Arizona. They are wholly unaware of the influence that white supremacist nativist groups in Arizona have had on this law's authorship. Because they only see the national headlines which have framed this law only has an anti-illegal immigration bill, they miss that the true goal is to silence non-white American citizens living in the border counties such as Pima and Maricopa so that a whites-only political fiefdom can be created here.
They fear that illegals are taking their jobs, jobs that they themselves often feel they're too good to perform themselves. Field workers survive daily in some of the most atrocious conditions every day. They risk limbs, their arms are scarred and ruined, fingers callused by picking fruits and vegetables by hand in weather that can get up to 116 degrees in some states.
This law was written by Fascists who will proudly terrorize these people. Terrorize my family, whose only sin is that they don't look white enough...that I don't look white enough. It's heartbreaking and sickening and my only hope is that more people will realize this and put an end to it.
Some people have said that carrying around papers to prove that you're a legal citizen isn't such a big deal. I'm sure a lot of Germans thought the same in 1935. As a good friend reminded me, "'Wo Ihre Papiere sind, Jude!'...sound familiar? No? Look it up.".
Many noted conservative and liberal political figures, including several figures in Arizona law enforcement are coming out against this law, opposing it, not just for being ineffective against ending illegal immigration, but for being blatantly racist, blatantly dangerous, and blatantly unamerican.
The mother migrated across all of Mexico to cross into California. At the border crossing the coyote abandons the group and the mother with her 3 kids are captured. ICE separates the children and arrests the mother. After the kids disappear into the CPS system, the mother loses all track of her children. This is today's dream of immigration under Donald Trump.

People waiting to return to their cruise ship after spending the day in Goa. Many of the ship's staff were from this area, and they were given the day off to meet with their families here. There were many touching scenes of family reunification after significant times away, working on cruise ships...

Immigration Hall on Ellis Island NYC
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!!
