β¬οΈ Pidgin β¬οΈ β¬οΈ Black American Slang β¬οΈ English
Crime for obodo America. Opioid wahala wey spread nation wide. True-true vote matter. Plus dis ogbonge terror wahala wey make am di worst day for Jews inside Israel 75 years of dey alive.
As e no tey wey Hamas terrorists kill and carry plenty Israelis dis month so, nuff Republicans dem β for president campaign level, for state and also congress matter, even for far-right side of conservative media β dem come dey use one style wey dem know well: dem dey link di wahala to our border wey dey down south.
βWetin happen to Israel fit happen to America because plenty plenty people from over 160 different countries don enter our land,” na wetin Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia talk for Fox News one day after di attack happen.
“We sabi say our border no get gate, and I know say di biggest problem na if those terrorists come America, and we get another wahala like 9/11,β na wetin Nikki Haley, wey be former United Nations ambassador when President Donald J. Trump dey power, yan reporters last week for Concord, N.H.
βYou no fit forget say di same people wey attack Israel dey come our sweet U.S.A. through our border wey open,β Mr. Trump talk on Monday, but no be true talk, even though people clap for am for campaign event inside Clive, Iowa, one side of Des Moines.
Even though Republicans dey argue inside, di unity wey dem get for this side show say di long border between America and Mexico still be strong matter for their party hand. Since Mr. Trump use strong hand for immigration matter rise to power, Republicans don dey call for better border fence to address any kind wahala, even though dem dey use strong strong words and many times, dem no dey talk true.
Some sign show say people dey feel their talk. One NBC News poll for September show say voters trust Republicans pass Democrats to handle economy and crime matter β plus also immigration β as 2024 election wan show.
Alex Conant, one Republican person wey dey strategize and wey been advise Senator Marco Rubio, talk say this strong talk about border go work well now as Biden administration dey face two real humanitarian wahala: plenty migrants wey wan cross di border and serious fight against fentanyl wey be public health wahala now. ππ
βDi border wahala dey bother many Americans, especially when you link am to wahala wey dem see for their area,β he talk. But Homeland Security people talk say dem no see any serious threat from Hamas to America. Andrew Bates, person wey dey talk for White House, reply Republicans say dem dey seriously check any person wey dey come to see if dem get link to terror group. Immigration experts say na true say government no fit check people wey enter without dem knowing, but dem dey check well well di plenty migrants wey come show their face for border.
Since dem draw di southern border, American politicians don dey use am get power by making people fear foreigners, sometimes dem dey point finger at Chinese workers, or German young men wey dem think na spies, or Jews and Catholics, historians and political people talk.
Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera, professor for George Mason University for Virginia, wey dey follow Mexican criminal group Los Zetas mata, say dis new Republican talk take style from three times for U.S. history: when Mexican workers enter and help the Southwest, when government start fight against drugs for 1970s, and 9/11 terror attack and the so-called war against terror. All these things make more soldiers dey border, build fence and send many people back their country.
Ms. Correa-Cabrera say, like now, those early border action no follow data wey show say migrants dey cause crime or dey danger to public safety. Many studies don show say no be like that. π
βE just be like say na bad belle,β she talk.
When politicians dey try link Middle East terror groups and Mexican criminal people, sometimes e dey enter for past twenty years, but no real evidence dey support wetin dem dey talk, counterterrorism and insurgency experts talk. Those two groups no get same goal and dem dey operate for different area.
Even though dem catch more people for southern border dis year, U.S. officials don record more people wey fit be terrorists β 160 migrants for 2023 as of July, up from 100 last year, according to Department of Homeland Security. But these people no reach compared to millions wey dey try cross di southern border and dem no really measure di terror wahala against America, terror and insurgency experts talk.
Experts no dey completely throw away di idea of terror attack from southern border, but dem talk say e no go likely happen.
If Middle East terror groups plan any attack, βdi north border even dey more open,β na wetin Bruce Hoffman, professor for Georgetown University wey sabi about terror matter talk. And this kind plan no go connect to illegal immigration, he add join.
9/11 people wey do bad thing enter America with tourist, business and student visa. The last man wey cross border with bad things β Ahmed Ressam β dem catch am for 1999 when he dey come from Canada. π
But di southern border still be big talk for politicians and people. When Mr. Trump carry βAmerica Firstβ slogan for him 2016 president campaign, he use am well for matters like threat from outside, competition from China for trade matter, and wahala
NOW IN BLACK AMERICAN SLANG
π₯ All Roads GOP Takinβ Head Straight to US-Mexico Border π₯
Crime all up in these American cities. That opium mess blowinβ up. Election drama. And now, this terror attack? Deadliest day for Jews in Israel in 75 years. Crazy!
Soon as Hamas terrorists did their thing and hurt a bunch of Israelis this month, those GOP folks tryna be the next President, the ones runnin’ state and congress, and the ones deep in that far-right media game, they all on the same page: linking it all up to the US southern border. π
βLook, what went down in Israel could go down right here βcause mad people been sneakinβ into the States from over 160 countries,β Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia said on Fox News just a day after that mess. πΊ
βWe know our border’s wide open, and real talk, the biggest fear? Them terrorists steppin’ in, and us seeing another 9/11,β Nikki Haley, who was the UN ambassador under Trump, told reporters up in Concord, N.H.
βCanβt ignore that the same folks who hit Israel might be walkin’ into our U.S.A right through that open border,β Trump said on Monday. Folks showed him mad love at a campaign event in Clive, Iowa. π
While the GOP’s figuring their stuff out, they all on the same wavelength here. Shows how that 2,000-mile border between US and Mexico is deep symbolism for them. Ever since Trump rolled in with his tough stance on folks crossing in, they been preaching about tightening that border, even if they gotta stretch the truth a bit.
Signs are showin’ that their words are makin’ waves. An NBC News poll from September showed voters trust the GOP more than the Dems on economy, crime, and handling those coming into the States before the 2024 election. π³οΈ
Alex Conant, a GOP strategist who was down with Senator Marco Rubio, says keepin’ the focus on the border’s a smart move, especially with the Biden admin strugglin’ with the influx of folks and that fentanyl crisis. π
βThat border? Itβs on a lot of peopleβs minds, especially when you link it to problems they see in their own neighborhoods,β he said. But the Homeland Security folks? They ain’t seeing any direct threat from Hamas.
Ever since they mapped out the southern border, US politicians been tryna cash in on peopleβs fears. Sometimes they be pointing at Chinese workers, German dudes they thought were spies, or Jews and Catholics, history tells us.
Ms. Correa-Cabrera says, like always, most of this border talk is just politicking, not about migrants causin’ crime or bringing danger. Plenty of studies back that up.
Politicians tryna link Mideast terror groups and Mexican criminals? Been a theme for the past 20 years, but ain’t much solid evidence to support that talk, experts say.
They ain’t denying a terror attack from the southern border is impossible. But if Mideast terror groups were plottin’, βthe northern border might be a smoother route,β Professor Bruce Hoffman put it.
Still, that southern border’s always on folks’ minds, both politicians and the people. When Trump came out with “America First” in 2016, he tapped into all those fears and more.
Monday, Trump, who’s been getting flak for his words on Israel and shoutin’ out Hezbollah as βsmart people,β used that Hamas attack on Israel to stir up those homegrown terror fears. π
Trump ain’t solo on this. GOP peeps like Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida keep speaking on immigrants.
In letters, ads, and talks, GOP’s connecting the dots to border security. Pointing fingers at Mexican criminals and folks without papers for the fentanyl issue, but they ainβt looking at American drug companies or the US folks who are really bringing that stuff in.
Historians are warning, though, this kinda talk can light a fire and lead to some real ugliness.
Past five years, two white supremacy believers, Robert Bowers in Pittsburgh and Patrick Crusius in El Paso, Texas, were all about βinvadersβ and βHispanic invasionβ before they went off. π«
Saturday, Chicago PD said Joseph Czuba, 71, took out a 6-year-old kid and hurt the kidβs mom βcause they were from Palestine. Word is what Czuba picked up from conservative radio on international beef mightβve driven him. π»

βYou no fit forget say di people wey attack Israel dey right now enter our fine U.S.A through our open border,β Mr. Trump yan on Monday. People clap for am for one campaign event inside Clive, Iowa. π
While Republicans dey try settle their own wahala, everybody gree on dis matter. E show say di 2,000-mile line wey dey between US and Mexico na strong symbol for their party. Since Mr. Trump enter power with him hard way to tackle people wey dey come di country, Republicans don talk about strengthening di border to address many issues, even if dem need to add jara to di true story.

βDi border na something wey dey bother many Americans, especially when you fit relate am to problems wey dem dey see for their own areas,β he talk. But officials from Homeland Security talk say dem no see any direct threat to US from Hamas.
From di time wey dem draw di southern border, American politicians don dey try get political gain by tapping into people fear, sometimes dem dey point finger at Chinese workers, German young men wey dem believe na spies, or Jews and Catholics, historians say.
Ms. Correa-Cabrera talk say like before, most of these border security measures na just political talk, no be say migrants dey cause crime or dey bring more danger. Plenty studies don show say e no be so.
Efforts by politicians to connect Mideast terror groups and Mexican criminal organizations get small weight for past 20 years, but no strong evidence dey back up the talk, experts talk.
Even though dem no rule out say terror attack fit happen from southern border, experts describe am as unlikely. If Mideast terror groups plan attack, βdi northern border fit even be more open,β Bruce Hoffman, professor talk.
But still, di southern border dey always dey people mind, both politicians and voters. When Mr. Trump use “America First” during his 2016 presidential campaign, he use am harness fear and other things.
On Monday, Mr. Trump, wey people dey attack for his talk about Israel and calling Hezbollah βsmart people,β use di deadly Hamas attack on Israel to raise fear of terrorism for house. π
Mr. Trump no dey alone. Republican candidates like Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida dey always talk about immigrants.
Inside letters, TV ads and talk, Republicans dey blame border security. Dem dey point finger at Mexican criminals and undocumented immigrants for di fentanyl problem, but dem no look di American drug companies or di US people wey na dem dey really carry di hard drugs come inside.
Historians dey warn say this kind hot talk about immigrants fit fuel bad wahala wey fit lead to violence.
For past five years, two men wey believe in white supremacy, Robert Bowers in Pittsburgh and Patrick Crusius in El Paso, Texas, talk about βinvadersβ and βHispanic invasionβ before dem do their bad things. π«
On Saturday, police for Chicago say Joseph Czuba, 71, stab 6-year-old pikin kill am and wound the pikin mama because dem come from Palestine. Authorities believe say na wetin Mr. Czuba hear for conservative radio about di fight for other country na im cause am. π»
