To state the obvious, they Rethuglicans are proposing to lock up the wrong people.
I hope the dems stand their ground on this donāt bail trump out of the mess he created
Well, just color me surprised. Especially from Ted Cruz.
/s
That picture of Cruz makes me want to tear his eyes out. A more sebaceous pile of disingenuous filth may never have existed.
āThe whole purpose of this is to adjudicate their claims very quickly and make a determination whether they have a valid asylum claim or if they can be deported,ā
The whole purpose of this is to deport them as quickly and with as little recourse to due process as possible and cut off the flow of brown people into this country by rewriting the asylum rules to create a legal standard impossible for them to meet.
FIFY, Exalted Cyclops Johnson
Compassionate conservatism.
Good phrase. Rethugs always win messaging wars. Then enact evil ass shit that is the exact opposite of what their slogans say.
One of the unfortunate side-effects of so many people buying into Trumpās āsuccessful businessmanā persona is that now he is in the White House, and only knows how to extort, intimidate and collude, these mob tactics are becoming normalized as the way of doing business.
Even now, as the Republicans prepare to do the right thing, their concern is: āWhat will you give me to do the āright thingā?ā
So which part of the legislation rewrites The New Collosus?
āSend me your white.ā
Iām going to put this here. Weāre living this nightmare all over again. I saw this two years ago, produced by a high school senior about the Japanese internment camps. Well worth the view! I encourage everyone to see this. 12 minutes.
Seriously! The rhetoric used during WWII against Japanese Americans is frighteningly similar to what weāre witnessing today. Brutally frightening!
So Trump takes one of the most extreme positions possible on immigration and splits families. The Republicans craft a ācompromiseā bill that gives them everything they want, fixes the separation problem by keeping the whole family together in a cage and pretty much stops non-white immigration. And if it failsā¦ they can blame the failure on the Dems in the press for not supporting the ācompromiseā.
Iād say this has no chance of working but this is America, so either enough ābig tent, red stateā Dems will jump on board and give the Republicans what they want, or FOX and the corporate media will convince about half the population its the Dems fault kids are in cages in the end.
Heās such a sniveling coward he canāt bring himself to sign a piece of paper but goes to House Republicans, who he thinks he can hide behind. Then when they canāt agree, heāll howl. Rinse and repeat.
They donāt need to keep them locked up at considerable expense. Most return for their hearings.
Then thereās this from DK: Contract vehicles are one of the mechanisms the U.S. government uses to award contracts to vendors. The data reviewed by Yahoo News was for a contract vehicle called āShelter Care for Unaccompanied Children 2022.ā This included 10 different contracts for up to approximately $92 million that were awarded to five different vendors starting in September 2017. The contracts include plans to operate the shelters through September 2022.
Not one Dem should sign on to this. Not one.
Let the GOP twist in the wind on this topic. The Dems should keep their hands out of it and let the GOP pass it with their majority in the House and the Senate.
The Dems canāt obstruct this, as the GOP doesnāt need their votes.
And this becomes a campaign issue going forward.
āTheyāre seeking refuge, for God sakes. What weāre doing is immoral.ā - Steny Hoyer
Well, "thatās why god invented federal courts. They can go litigate that.ā - The other John Kennedy
And weāll give them 14 days to prepare their case. - Ted Cruz
Which is more than enough time, āFor in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them.ā
Texas governor Greg Abbott (R Asshole) has come out against the family separation policy.
Hey Dear Leader, when you lose Abbottā¦
14 days ,how generous of Ted the son of a Cuban refugee.
How does keeping mother and child together take away due process? That statement in the article makes no sense. Keeping families together while being deported means we donāhave a kid left behind which is what is happening now, dammit.
This trump made humanitarian crisis can be fixed with a phone call but trump so far too bigoted to do it.
I hope this is correct, no i am praying this is correct. All hope for this administration is over. I heard a baptist preacher was saying that Trump was ordained by God for this job, it was Godās will to be President, so anything Trump did while in office was ordained by God, approved by God, What else is to be said about the religious right?
also, when on child is kidnapped, there is an Amber Alert, What happens when thousands are kidnapped by our government? It is Godās will.
'Suffer the little children to come unto me" No. Really. They should suffer.
Sounds like a correct interpretation of the Bible by this fool.
