On March 6th, I tweeted: "why is native born unemployment going up when immigration crackdowns are happening? i thought you guys were going to take those jobs" Someone replied: "Real Brave. WWIII is breaking out but ur kicking working class whites while they're down." I replied to them: "why are they down? seems like they can go pick up one of those immigrant jobs" Then someone else replied: "You're not going to be deported. You're going to fertilize soil."

Kenya More than 600 Kenyans in Cambodia, who say they were victims of human traffickers, have appealed to the courts in Nairobi to force their government to bring them home. Cambodia's interior ministry said it recovered them during a crackdown on online fraud centers run by organized criminals. According to the Kenyans, they were tricked into traveling to Cambodia with the promise of legitimate employment but were then made to work in heavily-guarded compounds where they were subject to attacks and abuse, including stabbings. Cambodian authorities have given them until February 28 to leave the country or face potential imprisonment but they say they cannot afford flights back to Kenya.
