While this article seems short on details, itâs my understanding from a casual reading of current news stories, that mass deportations have been underway the last few weeks.
Nope, im not going to use that âdisconnectâ word, it wouldnât be prudent.
So Kellly is in Mexico directly contradicting what his boss is up here saying just like Pence was just in Europe directly contradicting what his boss had said.
Wouldnât it just be easier to get rid of the boss since this is a constant feature of this administration?
Sorry, Kelly. You and your ochre organ grinder boss own this clusterfuck!
It appears standard disAdminstration procedure is to directly contradict Comrade Chaos within 24-hours to keep the âfine-tuned machineâ running.
Iâm sorry, I donât like this guy, nor do I trust anything about him.
Drumpf has too many military guys in his cabinet as it is. The way I see it, if you are a hammer, everything around you looks like a nail. The military is being set up as Drumpfâs less-than-perfect tool in almost every situation he canât get Congress to legislate on. Thatâs not strength, thatâs weakness.
I guess only time will tell whoâs lying, trump* or Kelly.
The military canât come into the states and act as police or immigration enforcement. It violates both the Constitution and the Posse Comitatus statute.
Trump is spewing shit and kelly is trying his best to make it smell like roses because Mexico is our third largest trading partner and PeePee is pissing them off so much they just might plaster up a tariff on our shit.
The worst part of Drumpfâs order is that they are deporting people who are believed to have committed a criminal offense, even if they havenât been convicted of one. No proof is required. A civil infraction of entering the country illegally is all that will be considered now, no ifs, ands, or buts. Its the thought police like in Minority Report I worry about. (Some police wonât go along this, but in some locales they most certainly will). Its also the expanded authority given to ICE, all those unconstitutional sheriffs groups, and Oath Keepers that have been given the go-ahead and who have been emboldened by these messages to round up people or go after them. Thereâs also the expansion of the private prison system (big donors to the GOP of course), the denial of due process, no availability for legal counsel, and even less money being planned to provide for immigrant services and those needing legal counsel in a proposed budget. Also, people will refuse to call police when necessary because theyâre afraid of being questioned about their immigrant status or those of their loved ones and neighborsâŚ
I heard of an example given the other day that a person fearful of having a communicable disease with immigrant status might not even agree to get it checked out for fear of being found out and deported. I also read some folks are pulling children from school and giving power of attorney to others should anything happen to them and their children are left without a legal guardian around to care for them. Thatâs already begun in some parts.
All these actions by this White House collectively are only going to make matters worse, less safe for everyone and more dangerous for undocumented immigrants and the communities they live in. And letâs not kid ourselvesâŚweâre not talking about undocumented immigrants from Europe. And whatâs up with deporting people to Mexico even if theyâre from Equador or some other country south of the border? Thatâs apparently in the plans too.
Its not the military I worry about. That can be adjudicated and seems clearly against the law, except for Drumpfâs interest in using the National GuardâŚwhich was brought up the other day, I think. I canât see most states going along with that. Drumpf would have to federalize the National Guard and still I canât see that happening.
I worry about the message that is being sent that is already scaring the living daylights out of people, who donât know what all this means for them in their personal lives right now. It starts to look like there is nothing to protect people from these intimidating remarks, actions or threats against them and no recourse. Make no mistakeâŚsaying âmilitary operationâ wasnât a faux pas. I believe it was a deliberate form of intimidation even if he didnât mean it literally. Thatâs not right.
SorryâŚI canât write very well today. I have difficulty with my eyes sometimes due to MS, and Iâm not feeling so well. Maybe its the barometric pressure changing or somethingâŚ
