no mention of the special visa program…H1B…that allows for people with degrees to come into the country and undermine american workers/salaries.
i doubt the pretenders supporters even know it exists.
from the CNN report linked in the article:
A second order will work to eliminate so-called “sanctuary cities,” where municipal governments refuse to hand over undocumented immigrants to federal authorities. That order will triple resources for Immigration and Custom Enforcement and direct the federal government to identify criminal aliens in the US.
just more of that good ole GOP “state and local governments should have more freedom from the federal government” shit. nothing gestapo-ish about the feds storming cities and hauling off their residents against the local governments’ will. nothing at all.
The wall - a waste of time and resources.
Refuge program: “ban anyone who has persecuted people of other religions or engaged in so-called honor killing, violence against women or oppressed a member of one race, gender or sexual orientation,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
If applied to current U.S. citizens, he’d need to get rid of more than a few Christian conservatives. And, yet, this:
The Journal also reported that Trump would sign an order suspending the Syrian refugee program and prioritizing acceptance of those who are religious minorities in their country of origin.
This is meant to allow Christians in at the exclusion of many refugees of other religions.
or EB-5 visas that allow wealthy aliens to buy the right to be here for $500,000 apiece.
Baath or Sunni could be a religious minority, not to mention Zoroastrian (Kurds) or a host of other religions.
Heck, the Caucusus, which is home to an incredible number of languages, also includes some unique, tiny religious groups. Let’s throw our doors open to Caucasians—what could go wrong?!
"The Trump administration will also work on a new vetting program for visas that would “ban anyone who has persecuted people of other religions or engaged in so-called honor killing, violence against women or oppressed a member of one race, gender or sexual orientation,”
What a farce, the hypocrisy astonishing. The people wanting to come to the US are not the problem. It’s a growing(?) number of natural born citizens gleefully engaging in the exact same behavior who are now fervently emboldened by an electorally elected bully that is the problem. Hate breeds hate and Trump is the best fertilizer in the history of the United States.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just take them out to the backyard, and shoot? (JOKE)
Thanks, Pa., Michigan, and Wisconsin!
And I’m certain the Trump gang is making such fine distinctions. You’ve already demonstrated more knowledge of the various religious groups than anyone I’ve seen in a recent Oval Office picture.
I understand situational ethics, but how did Repubs so quickly transition from Executive Orders as dictatorship to them being cool ways to get things done? There is no national crisis requiring building “the wall,” and it should require congressional approval to fund it.
Heck, their slavish devotion and their unswerving demand for historical accuracy could easily let them say, “Well, you know, Hitler made the trains run on time. If it hadn’t been for the opposition, he would have made Germany great again”
Well most of it will fall on local PDs. The Feds want locals to catch and hold, participate in hunting trips, and all the while leaving local citizens short of LEOs. Not to mention that in neighborhoods of immigrants they won’t be calling the police to report suspicious activities.
Any word on Congressional Republicans starting to get a little nervous?
Maybe the French should ask for a return of Madame Liberté
Hint: The present occupant of the Oval Office has an (R) after his name, and he’s not half-black. I suspect your question was rhetorical, but it should be asked, loudly and often.
I’d like to see her fully draped in black.
Then if those “state and local” governments want to provide sanctuary for illegals, then they can pay for them. Wouldn’t that be fair? No Federal monies until they comply with Federal Law. It seems fair to me.
With a pussyhat…
Disgusting.
