“Cracolândia” drug addicts have already spread to more than 20 different areas in São Paulo 
[1]  Five days after a police operation in Cracolândia
(Crackland) in the center of São Paulo, drug addicts
have spread to various parts of the region, such as Paulista
avenue, as well as the space underneath the João Goulart
[5] overpass, which is also known as the Minhocão.
  The officers from the GCM (the Metropolitan Civil
Guard) have accompanied the movement of those who
belonged to the “flow” (fluxo) – a term used to describe
outdoor areas where people negotiate and consume drugs.

It’s funny that James and I turned out to be
such great friends, considering that for the first
two weeks of our friendship he thought I was
someone else entirely.
[5] I remember our first meeting like it’s a scene
from a movie about someone else. It was a
Thursday ........ November, and I was standing
behind the counter ........ O’Connor Books. This
was 2009. It was my final year ........
[10] university, and there were twenty-nine days
until Christmas. Our manager, Ben, was
already worried that it would be a
disappointing season, and was always walking
around saying things about “the industry”. He
[15] talked about the book industry as if it were a
dragon that was chained in the basement, and
would tear us limb from limb at any moment.
He spoke about that year’s spate of stocking

filler books – Dawn French and Julie Walters
[20] had competing memoirs out, I believe – as if
they were charred corpses that we were flinging
into the dragon’s throat to keep it sated.
“This will keep the industry going”, Ben said,
with almost touching sincerity. He had more
[25] faith ........ the memories of character
actresses than I imagine either Julie Walters or
Dawn French had when writing them down. I
lifted another stack out of the stockroom, the
book tower starting at my waist and sitting
[30] under my chin.
James Devlin had started as a Christmas temp
the Thursday before, which I had taken as time
off so I could finish my end-of-year essays for
college. James had spent his first shift with
[35] Sabrina. Later, he would say that he was so
inundated with new faces and names on his
first shift that they were a blur, and when I said
that was nonsense, he threw his hands up and
said straight women all looked the same to him.
[40] The first shift with Sabrina must have been fun
– puzzling, considering how little craic Sabrina
was generally understood to be – because
when James opened the wooden flap to the
counter area, he was full of conspiracy.
[45] “Someone here has scabies”, he said, “and
they left the lotion in the jacks”.
It feels strange now, setting that first
conversation down like this, because it does
nothing to communicate how James was. How

[50] utterly charming this opener was to me.
“Someone here has scabies.” He said it like he
was Poirot investigating a country house
blighted by murder. Like someone who saw the
inherent prejudices of our polite society and
[55] was prepared to unveil it. The second part of
the sentence was a whole different thing: “and
they left the lotion in the jacks.” He was from
Cork county, Fermoy to be exact, which was
strictly country to me. But he had grown up in
[60] the UK – all over it, I would later learn – and
so his voice had a peculiar quality that was
hard to place. I was born in Douglas, a
suburban little village that was two miles south
of the city centre, and I was still living there.

TEXTO

Asylum-seeker smuggling is a symptom, not a root cause

Robert Falconer/Craig D. Smith - Jan 31, 2022.

Earlier this month, the Patels – a family of four from
India – died of cold exposure trying to walk south
through the Canada-U.S. border, near Emerson, Man.

Canadian politicians and news media, rather than look
[5]  at how policies incentivize such irregular migration and
produce such tragedies, have been quick to parrot
rhetoric from other rich countries, speculating about
the responsibility of criminal smugglers and wider
networks of nefarious actors. “It is so tragic to see a
[10]  family perish like this, victims of human traffickers,
misinformation and people who have taken advantage
of their desire to build a better world,” Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau said.

The U.S., which for decades has forced irregular
[15] migrants to make deadly desert crossings, has
criminalized humanitarian groups as smugglers. But
while the man arrested in the Patels’ case allegedly
sought to profit from their desperation, he did not
cause it.
[20]  What the political rhetoric around irregular migration
misses is that human smuggling is a symptom of the
friction between the desire to migrate or find protection,
and the absence of safe and legal pathways to do so.
Prohibition in the face of high demand only fosters illicit
[25]  markets, and cracking down on small-time criminals
addresses symptoms, not the causes.

______ 2004, Canada and the U.S. have returned
asylum seekers to each other ______ a Safe Third
Country Agreement (STCA), which applies only
[30]  to official ports ______ entry, leading to what is
often called a “loophole” in the agreement. In fact,
governmental discussions in 2001 recognized that
sealing the border would mean more smuggling and
a larger undocumented population.
[35]  Many asylum seekers have crossed between border
points to avoid being returned to the U.S., where

they would likely face imprisonment and deportation.
The route the Patels were using developed precisely
because the STCA incentivized irregular crossings.

[40]  Canada is at a crossroads. It can choose hard line
policies to the benefit of the Canadian security
establishment and create more smugglers, even as its
politicians heap blame on them when tragedy strikes.
Or it can choose to manage the border by investing
[45]  in a timelier, fairer asylum system and rethinking how
it responds to demand for migration
