More red meat for the racist base.
Which only means that Mueller is getting ever, ever closer to the prize.

Well, they talk French too. But yeah, mostly it’s the being black.

I am going to hop out on a limb here and guess there is no current Ambassador to Haiti in the utterly injured State Dept. These decisions on immigration all coming out of DHS which Kelly used to helm. The Nation saw in an ugly spectacle his thoughts on black women.

60,000 down, only a few more million to go.

The Ghost of Christmas Bigotry has visited, I see. (“I will keep being deplorable in my hear, and never forget the lessons in being deplorable that I have learned…”)
What better way to acknowledge the blessings of living in our country than by hurting people who have lost everything and are trying to support their families?

Certainly until they’re gone there must be a way to prevent these Haitians from celebrating any more Christmas holidays on U.S. soil. Jesus and Santa Claus were white, I don’t understand why they presume to intrude on our festivities.

If they’re given permanent status, they’ll be voting. In Florida. Which has how many electoral votes?

For Trump, this is a two-fer. Get rid of nasty dark people, and protect the electoral advantage. Refugees from P.R. will face a similar calculus.

Well, getting permanent status isn’t the same as getting citizenship which is required to vote.

But, yeah, this should definitely help with the Haitian ethnicity US citizen vote and the children of these “get ready to get out” immigrants.

I’m sure it’s purely coincidence that the groups TrampCo is going after have a similar melanin concentration in their skin…

If this maladministration faces a choice, it will always take the cruel, inhumane and destructive alternative. Always.

But people from P.R. are American citizens. They can move anywhere they want. And register. And vote. Florida’s looking bluer already.

Oh, c’mon, everyone agrees there are too many lions and elephants on the planet.*

*Oh, and Haitians. Waaaaay too many Haitians.

Insufficient albedo.

Ah, yes, that is a critical distinction. The Administration’s screw-ups in P.R. will end up being purely self-destructive.

Drump approval rating is about 35-39%. This is basically the count of his die hard racist base @ about 33%, plus the rich clamoring for the tax breaks they purchased with their campaign donations.
