The Biden administration has directed immigration enforcement agencies to stop using references to immigrants that were commonplace under the Trump administration, according to the Washington Post on Monday.
Somehow, Iâm not sure the âoldâ terms were what ICE & CPB were actually using. Iâm picturing terms far more appalling and racist in nature were in very common usage.
âFurthermore,â he added, âRepublicans who voted against certifying the election results will now be referred to as âempirically challenged.ââ
You can bet a bunch of Border Patrol and ICE officers are furious today, simply because their âfreedom of speechâ is being trampled so they canât use derogatory terms towards non-citizens, all of whom they see as enemies (well, maybe not the white ones, after all they are Anglo-SaxonâŚ). This wonât change things among those officers, our best option is to get rid of them and replace them with people who actually believe in the American principle of E Pluribus Unum. The more we get rid of the white supremacists in our national government, the better it will work for all Americans.
âa nation of immigrantsâ â a change in tone compared to the Trump administration that removed the phrase from the mission statement of CIS.
If CIS refers to the Center for Immigration Studies, which worked closely with the Trump WH, I wonder if the Orange Blob actually removed the phrase from CIS, as they claim to be an independent, non-partisan, non-profit research org.
(Others might say CIS is a hate-filled, anti-immigrant, white supremacist org, but it is a tough call )
Both these bodies were set up by Republicans to do Republican bidding. They start up some new department every time they get in. ICE shouldnât even exist.
Most men who have held a job and made it to the age of 50 find themselves to be great philosophers. Having sought no truth, having learned nothing, having acted, to my mind, like cowards, hiding in crowds, risking nothing, and inevitably following the biggest a-hole they can find.
I am 50 years old. They are surprised when I leap down their throat over some straight-from-the-radio nonsense.
Iâve lived in remote Scotland since January 25th 2017. There is a lot of âall lives matterâ going on around here. In order to mitigate being beaten to death in a back alley, or crippling a local, I went into the bar, bade them all shut up, and announced myself to be an undercover operative for the Harlem Intelligence Agency, that my skin color was an extensive tattoo, and that Iâd had my appendage shortened so I wouldnât scare them. All with a straight face.
Iâm a big guy. They donât talk about all lives mattering down here anymore. They get the feeling I might hold them to their words.
Just beginning? Democrats occupy the entire moral high ground. There isnât a half an inch for a Repug - they are all morally repugnant just on account of being Repugs.
