blue in 1898, the island of puerto rico became a u. s. colony, but still retained its own cultural identity and speak in favor vendor panel should be thrown into prison today, close to half its population with moreover, residence in puerto rico, have new representation in congress and con, vote and u. s. presidential elections like okay, we're gonna make you american citizens, which you didn't ask for, even if we were offered citizenship with the head and we would prefer our wrong one, sega was in his twenties, he chose to fight for his homelands independence. we felt that we could generate more of a spirit of resistance rather than hope, submissive, accept, or reality. the way fell was like shockingly unfair. my sorry that i decided to

fight for my country. no one could have done things differently. yes, absolutely. do i now think that violence is not the means to achieve anything? absolutely. ah. the board of crises has now been declared a state of emergency in united states. well, that's at least for liberal town for border states, a drop of migrant illegally coming into the country. where i give you 360 view of how the migration crisis impacting countries around the world. i'm sky now hughes. let's get started. right now, the southern border is overrun with people a legally coming into united states. though the administration will tell you the border is secure. we have a secure border in that that is

a priority for any nation, including ours in our administration, texas governor greg abbott and florida governor rhonda santas are taking matters into their own hands by busing. these migrants to other cities in america who claim to be sanctuary. cities with her class when i heard that the president is scrambling to years together to try to address the fact that you are who are helping to relocate for border states are pushing back and it keeps getting a bus is in plains full people to cities, claiming to accept my grants with open arms and promises to provide them with shelter and resources all to help start their new life in america. however, only 4000 the 1600000 migrants who illegally cross the border have now actually reached new york city. but new york city governor eric adam says enough,

and he begging the governors to stop because he says his city is already over run. these trends continue. we will be over $100000.00 in the year to come as far more than the system was ever designed. to handle fish is on sustainable. we have city is doing all return, but we are reaching the outer limit of our ability to help. but it's not just america facing this problem. new leaders in italy are now proposing an act of war to stop migrants from flooding into their country. they also side a bill saying they will stop getting money to syria because they have given it too much to the country and they need to fix themselves. now. even one reason for breaks it was a britain wanting to have more control the people coming into their country after a string of terrorist attack done by people who snuck in under the guise asylum seekers and being a part of the you didn't allow them to control not the beginning of the ukraine and

rushes most recent conflict. people in poland were leading strollers for mothers coming from ukraine escaping the terrors. now people are done. they don't want to accept any more ukraine refugees, especially after so many countries in europe have given weapons and billions of dollars to ukraine for them to fight thrown cause and it's not just ukrainian refugees remember. and the tragic afghanistan pull out, people were turned away by countries who promised to support them when they were trying to flee the taliban rule. we are now joined by a political commentator journalist bradley blankenship rally. thanks for joining us . over the last few months, at least to europe in countries, italy and sweden have seen right wing parties when elections. this is on a time with you as galvanized, it stays to sanction blockade russia over the russia, ukraine conflict. what is behind this political shift?

well, i think what's, what's really behind the political shift that we're seeing and the rise of populism in general throughout europe is the fact that people are just pessimistic about the future. and so they're looking for some kind of political movement or some kind of political community to latch onto to you know, help put their grievances into political action. and i think we're seeing it in italy, in, in sweden, both reflect this kind of fear. and perhaps people not being the most politically sophisticated in terms of, of their anger and hostility towards governments, but just wanting any kind of change at all. and it happens to be that the most organized political groups right now in the west, i would say not only in europe, but also north america are right wing groups. and so that's what's really feeling

this push towards the far right. now sweden, which is traditionally left wing, a socialist government, and also considered the poster child for the scanner, navy and social welfare. they saw the swedish democrats at score a major victory in their election. one of the main topic for the election was a sweden migrant policy. a similar theme actually just occurred and lee, would you say europe has a migrant problem? are they just the scapegoat? would you please say that they're the scapegoat? first of all in terms of what's happening and we did. there is this idea, especially amongst a lot of birdie sanders borders in the united states. that sweden is some kind of model of social democracy. right. but people forget that that sweden allied with hitler's germany in world war 2. and there's a lot of white supremacy that still exists today in sweden and all over europe.

nationalism is very much alive in europe. and any kind of pushback that you see for people even against the united states is not a rejection of nationalism or rejection of the american colonial project. but it's really actually just competing nationalism in the sense that people, you know, europe is where colonialism and white supremacy in all these ideas came from. i think it's no surprise and migrants are being skipped good here in europe because that's like i said, you know, these, these beliefs are traditional, they're indigenous to europe. and of course, people are going to go back in, you know, romanticize, some kind of folklore, ised. you know, romanticized past in cling to that and you know, i think these ideas escape going foreigners and others as it were. it's just

another man, a manifestation of that fear. ok, so let's say in a few months this russian ukrainian conflict is still going on. meanwhile, europe's economy, well it's struggling gas is going to be a major problem. this winter inflation is running rampant. and at what point do we see more governments actually move for to protect their own national interest? furthermore, i do as ask at what point is a migrant crisis become too much to handle? yeah, i mean, you know, that's the thing is that again, with the migrant crisis, is like there is a lot of refugees all over europe from ukraine, especially here. i'm out in the czech republic, we see ukrainian, refugees everywhere, but nobody's complaining that this is somehow as strain on civil services or on because id in general at all. and so i think that, you know, the trumping of migrants for places like central asia and the middle east is just pure racism and european white supremacy that we would say that's as

american as apple pie. but that the european as at and home wherever, external european people. but yeah. as far as government doing more to protect their own self interest. i think that's that's, that's the only choice they really have. i mean here in the czech republic, in september 3rd, we just had 70000 people protests against the check government demanding their resignation, demanding military neutrality, demanding that the government leaves nato. busy and the you altogether and then initiate direct contact with gas problem and other, you know, russian gas suppliers. and so i think that kind of countries like serbia, like hungary, which have secured these deals ahead of winter are probably going to see some net benefits from that in the countries that are most hostile to russia that are sanctioning russia are going to see, you know,

bad things happen. people in these countries like to check probably are going to look at countries like hungary and look at countries like serbian say, why can our government and do that? why can we have the same deals? you know that our utility bills lower and help us get through this very difficult winter. and i think that's what's gonna happen. people in these countries, they already are doing that. you know, the people in these countries are going to look at countries that are self or you know, looking out for their own national interests and probably be inspired by them. thank you. now that was put commentator and journalist bradley blankenship. after the break, we will continue our discussion on the migrant crisis impacting the world. the news today i'm authorized to just

a strong sanction foreign companies equipped in russia. numbers, i don't think the atm cause of blanton banks disconnected from the international payment system. the social hoppey journal, donna and euro exchange rates follow up when i travel up on a couple more stuff. so i would know what the committee met. evoke this, the billing address then is the current, can you say it was, oh, sure. c m a j, a promise volume in russian business overcome this song. see, near i bought in nancy to huddle. she instrument. she tells me don't press voice bullshit. national productive notches, steel dash, a miracle, what i see for themselves when you come, when you with the go, you got any of your mind or the street not but i, she's appraisal. i need to have a cost to get a group when you, when you're speaking with dr. new person, who is a school. so a delusion with the affordable to lucian includes with

small do it. this is the best of both. not sure, but for the model, when you vision annual g d, p per capita is about $4000.00 euros for those that we've got a normal dollar a watch to sleep up a man. i've got a new plan there, coffee seal from campus, really in chip near please where you find them all the love to come out see nature let go of thought they would have thought of unemployment is off the charts, moldova territorial integrity and sovereignty. we respect a country which enjoys financial support from the u. s. n. b, you is constantly robbed by political and corruption scandals. but all that didn't stop mo, google obtaining you candidate status in 2022. i

welcome back. we're talking today on the $360.00 view about the migration crisis impacting the entire globe. we want to continue that conversation right now, professor of history at salem state university. dr. aviva chomsky welcome dr. chomsky now we have heard a lot about this immigration crisis in europe since at least 2015. would you say that europe is undergoing a migration crisis at the moment? was it ever going through a migration crisis? well, you know, i kind of checked to the word the way the word crisis is used, and i see a strong comparison here between europe in the united states. that is, it's not europe or the united states that's undergoing a migration crisis. it's the countries that people are migrating from that are

undergoing crises that are forcing people to migrate their under growing, undergoing economic crises, they're undergoing political crises, they're undergoing military crises, they're undergoing climate crises. ah, they're undergoing food security crises. and those are the people who are undergoing crisis and who are being forced to migrate and are then being told. oh, but we don't want you here because that would cause a crisis for us. we don't want to have to face the consequences of our profligate living and colonialism and military involvement. and i, and exploitation, and oppression of your countries. we want you to stay there and suffer. well, we see more migration into europe as the world struggles to heat and feed itself this winter. so you know, you put together to heat and feed itself. and i think that that those

struggles are kind of happening in different parts of the world than is the struggle to heat. the energy struggle is being faced right now by the countries that are big over users of energy. that is, the european countries and the united states. they're finding their energy supplies being cut, their fossil fuel supplies being cut, i should say. now these are the countries that should have 30 years ago drastically reduced their use of fossil fuels or they should never have increased their use of fossil fuel to the level where they were 30 years ago. much less the level where they are today. the countries where people are migrating from are the people who are facing food crises, they're the countries that have never had access to their fair share of the planets . fossil fuels and the countries that are most affected by the over users over use of fossil fuels and the over users, once again,

our europe and the united states. so i'm the food crises are caused in large part by climate change. climate change is caused by over use of fossil fuels, but the countries facing the food crisis aren't the countries that are over using fossil fuels. now the united states in europe and especially poor people in the united states in europe are, in many cases facing a crisis of high food prices and high fuel prices. are caused by the development trajectories of their own countries. that that's over reliance on fossil fuels and over use of energy is a structural problem in these countries that again, it's not necessarily the fault of the poor people who are suffering the ones who are suffering the most from it. ok, but it is a structural flaw in the where societies have been. i have developed over the past

10200 years ago and that we should not have gotten to this point where we would be facing a fuel crisis in 2022 and saying, oh, but now we need to produce more fossil fuels because obviously we're too reliant on them. what are parts of the globe are now hot spots for migration? we're so much about the southern border in the united states. but what about elsewhere in the world? i look again, i think it depends how you define flashpoints. that is, um, i would say that countries that are responsible for the migration crisis in the sort of long to re, in structural turns, are also the countries that are creating migration crises on their own borders. and they're creating migration crises, by putting up walls, by putting up restrictions by milt, rising their borders by creating yet another crisis for the migrants who are

fleeing the sort of longer, in depth, socio environmental economic crises caused by their relationships with those very countries that are now causing a crisis on the border. so we could say that these are hot spots from migration, but i think we need to be clear about how they become hotspots. not just because of the numbers of migrants, they become hot spots because of the um, the military solution that the fortress countries of the united states in europe have designed to what they see as a migrant crisis. stacy, the european countries in the united states to find themselves as the countries undergoing a crisis of migration. there aren't, they aren't, they're the ones who have created the crisis of migration. and their border policies are just one piece of how they're creating an,

exacerbating the crisis that migrants are suffering. now are the conditions present in your view for increasing migration throughout the world as we move a further head into the 21st century? well, you know, i'm a historian and as a historian, i'm always a little bit reluctant to try to predict the future because one of the things we learn in history is an unexpected things happen all the time. and at any given moment in history, it's difficult to predict what all of these sort of unexpected contingencies might be. how ever i'm, i don't see very encouraging signs right now. i'm in terms of the kinds of changes to the global economy, global consumption of fossil fuels, and everything else. a global economy that continues to extract resources from the global south for the benefit of the global north,

a global economy that continues to run on fossil fuels. as you pointed out, you know, we're seeing a so called crisis of rising fuel prices because of the fact that our global economy runs on fossil fuels. um and the beneficiaries the i'm, the architects and beneficiaries of this system don't seem to be showing any signs of oh, wanting to change it. so to the extent. so i mean the trajectory we are on, in terms of the climate crisis, even if we were book just completely halt the use of fossil fuels. today, we are already on a trajectory and it's gonna take a while to reverse, ah, where the poorer countries of the world, which we should say are, you know, use the terminology of 3rd world or global south. and i think, no matter what terminology we use,

we need to emphasize that these are the parts of the world that have been exploited, extracted, and colonized by the global north. ah, it's not just a geographic question of whether they're in the south or the north. and it's, it's a question of the history of relationships that have extracted resources from the global south in order to, for the benefit of the global north. ah, but a, so the trajectory of climate change is not going to reverse, even if we were to stop using fossil fuels today. and obviously we're nowhere near stopping using fossil fuels, even in the next decade or a couple of decades. weird hearing some kind of lip service to reducing our use of fossil fuels, but it hasn't started to happen yet. and it needed to happen decades ago. um, so that trajectory, even if we were able to bring about the dramatic change of halting fossil,

the use of fossil fuels or dramatically reducing the use of fossil fuels in the next 5 years or 10 years, which doesn't seem probable to me, it's utterly necessary. um, but the impact of climate change on the poor countries of the world ah, is kind of baked in for a couple more decades. no matter what we do and, and if we continue on the trajectory trajectory we're currently on, it's only going to get much worse in terms of the global economy. again, i feel like there is just very little recognition, acknowledgement, attention, acceptance in the and powerful countries of the world. that that this economic system that they have designed. and that they control in part, through international financial institutions, in part, through their own military policies and interventions and invasions,

in part through trade agreements, in part, through the actions of their corporations. ah, is impoverishing and is a 2nd major cause of an in, you know, the to obviously are not, are not unrelated. a 2nd major cause of the migration crisis that is the crisis of the global south that is forcing people to migrate. and so we need, in addition to fundamental structural changes in our use of fossil fuels, we need fundamental structural changes to the way the global economy functions. again, these 2 are not unrelated, but i don't see a lot of hopeful signs about our trajectory on either front. what are some of the difficulties migrants face and how can host nations help them adapt to their new surroundings or to return to their home nations? so i've been talking about some of the large scale policies that the countries of

the global north need to enact and in terms of climate change and the functioning of the global economy. so that's one place where i would begin . i. then there's a 2nd piece of the puzzle is, so what happens to people when they get to the border? that's another place that europe of the united states or the countries of the global north. you know, they all have legal immigration structure and a border enforcement structure that prevents most migrants from entering the country at all. so that's the 2nd place where i think policies need to focus on. you're really talking about the 3rd step, like after people have been expelled from their countries after they have gotten through a human rights violations of the militarized border after they are inside these

countries, then what kind of policies ah, can be enacted. ah, and in that case, i guess i would say that immigrant rights are human rights and that the idea that countries will differentiate different people within their borders on the basis of status um is morally wrong. and all of the european countries and the united states pay a kind of a lip service to, oh, we don't discriminate. we treat everybody equally, it's not immigrants. obviously we're not talking about them when we talk about treating everybody equally and giving every one equal rights and believing that every one should have equal rights. ah, oh, that's just pure hypocrisy. like, why should only some people have equal rights and other people should not have equal rights? how can you even use the term equal rights if they're not for everybody?

ah, but i feel like you're asking a somewhat different question to that is how do we address the problem of the mobilization of anti immigrant sentiment? and i would also point out that i'm, i deliberately used the term mobilisation. that is, i don't think that anti immigrant sentiment just kind of arises naturally. everywhere that immigrants appear. i think that politicians and media figures have played a huge role in mobilizing anti immigrant sentiment for their own economic and political ends. i'm so i think that, ah, advocating for the rights of immigrants and challenging the narratives that, that blame immigrants for the social problems that they are actually the victims, not the perpetrators of is also a really important part of the struggle. thank you professor aviva. chomsky for

joining us now most countries would like to see themselves grow if they would have the ability to sustain at the quality of life for the current citizens while bringing those who would be productive and actually enhance society. i doubt there would be a few complaints if it was the wealthy and highly educated class, which were the ones composing the large migrant caravans. the additional funds being added into the community would actually be welcomed and back. we kind of already do this when a foreign corporation decides to relocate or open a branch, the community finds themselves thrilled with the new revenue stream. one way to stop and immigration problem is to make sure your country is less desirable than the one at which the migrants are traveling from. and in the past, speaking of another country could be our dreams and fairy tales. however, the internet has made the reality available for anybody who really wishes to seek the truth. and while there are few exceptions, the green grass on the other side is starting to diminish. sadly,

in most cases though, seeking another country as their home are usually the victims of bad policies and politics. and whether it be war famine, economic crisis, or security, is the people the lowest social economic status. who most often feel the wrath, while those who have the power in the land are rarely affected. in such a dramatic way. in many cases, migrants have become a weapon. used to weaken another country stability, a country's economy security can be destroyed with what's out of our shot. ever. being fired, migrates are oblivious. they are being used by the politicians and the powerful to in most cases, diminish the new home. they seek to the same level as a one they wanted to escape. and this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching. ah huh. ah,

mm. mm. it should get me to reach you. dicky. you were yesterday, the joe. i got on teams, i couldn't sure he was more i won't put that so the mean, you know, which one it was a vehicle for a splitter, whichever. somewhere more jo. sandwiches for spiritual are you who have trouble busy kashi with mine. she's in severe watchman. walk with me for a short in to near from was a digital literature to stop locally when you were with cross sides for national romans, which are it then you were was held up to florida, but i thought i was on but usually 3, but they have to call up my mind to current really from michael up,
