Migration is a global phenomenon, and in industrialized countries, immigrants and refugees are often demonized, especially in times of crisis. We interviewed Natalie Gruber, co-founder of Josoor International Solidarity Movement (josoor.net) and discuss the painful and inhumane immigration policies in Europe, the United States and Latin America (specifically the recent deaths of Venezuelan refugees as they were trying to migrate to Trinidad & Tobago), deadly "pushback" measures that have taken countless lives in the Mediterranean & Caribbean Sea, the negative narratives and falsehoods about immigrants worldwide, and how it all ties back to capitalist exploitation and fearmongering.
