Trump must have ambitious plans so far as immigration goes.

What’s the matter? Is this the guy who actually wants the agents to follow the law and told them that they would face potential personal liability if they didn’t?

There must be; you can still hear thumps.

I hope all of those senior people he is clearing out will unite and turn on him.

Also ICE needs to take a close look at his wife and her family, something is not kosher there and it needs to be exposed.

Trump’s keeping us safe, and Putin’s laughing his ass off.

This is what got him into the White House.
Don’t forget that first tweet (as I recall his very first after announcing his candidacy); “Mexicans are drug dealers, criminals, rapists”. The tweet that launched him; and he went pretty damned far.

Tougher? BWAhahaha…don’t kid me.

Not tough. Cruel, vindictive, when he can get away with it. Very meek with anyone who’d hit back. That’s not tough. One of many words he doesn’t really know the meaning of.

Who is going to lead this tougher direction? After seeing how Nielsen and the rest can not find a job could it make others leery? ETTD.

I’d rather say open-ended. We don’t know what insanity he has in mind. We just know that a lot of people who aren’t exactly immigration doves refused to do it.

We do. He wants to make it so miserable for anyone who makes it here, that even dodging bullets and crime back home seems like paradise in comparison.

So stuffed prison camps, with minimal food, shelter and space. And a years-long wait (if ever) for a hearing. With the hope that after enough time locked up, they’ll give up and self-deport.

“Acting”? They aren’t so much “actors” as “stunt men.

Isn’t there some law about how long an agency can be run by an “acting” head?
Does Trump think that if you’re not sworn in to do the job you don’t have to follow that pesky piece of paper we call the Constitution?
