1. I don't know how many times I've posted this...

If you are surprised by this, you haven't been paying attention.

There is no bottom, folks. Severe damage is being inflicted, and it will take years to correct it, assuming we'll be able to.

5. This has been their plan...

remember the first "executive orders" he made as soon as he was inaugurated? Brannon and Miller are all over this. It isn't just Sessions.

11. They all need to rounded up

and jailed.

13. You are being kind compared to the Dems I just left at a local protest in San Diego.

We were at a Families Belong Together lighting event and the people were pretty pissed off. I was interviewed on the news and tried hard to not swear and it was not easy.

6. "discourage asylum seekers" violates the Immigration and Nationality Act. It's a crime.

Here's what the nazis are doing:

7. But I thought it was Obama's fault

Racism is at the heart of Trump's actions and his base.

Trump's dad was arrested @ KKK riot in the Queens

The largest DoJ housing discrimination suit in history was against Trump

He is always flashing the "White Power" hand sign

Trump's let me see your birth certificate thing about President Obama
was the most racist thing I have ever seen. "Hey, boy let me see your
papers ..... you don't look like you are from around here."

15. Trump admin discussed splitting moms, kids to prevent asylum in Feb. 2017

"There is no federal law mandating children and parents be separated at the border; a policy resulting in that outcome was enacted in May 2018."

"But there is no law that mandates separating children from their parents. Trump’s own administration devised a policy to that effect."

20. Stephen Miller believes in controversy as political strategy, even if it means jailing children

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/19/17474720/trump-immigration-border-stephen-miller


To understand what the Trump administration is thinking about separating families and locking kids up at the border, you have to understand Stephen Miller’s foundational political belief: It’s better to stir controversy, at any price, than it is to engage constructively.

The architect of Donald Trump’s immigration policy and the White House’s resident troll, the 32-year-old White House senior policy adviser believes it’s good to “trigger the libs,” so to speak, with “the purpose of enlightenment.” To Miller, working constructively across the aisle isn’t as useful as “melting snowflakes.”

To Miller, there’s no reason to moderate a view or a policy, especially not when it comes to his deepest passion: immigration restrictionism. It’s a subject he was passionate about even in high school and one over which he bonded with his former boss, then-Sen. Jeff Sessions, a longtime immigration hardliner. It’s no wonder, then, that Miller designed the initial version of Trump’s travel ban, barring people from several majority-Muslim countries from entering the US for 90 days, and refugees for 120 days.

Cruelty as a feature, not a bug
The Trump administration hasn’t really tried to win the public conversation on family separations. As conservative writer Ross Douthat pointed out on Twitter, the policy didn’t begin with a public discussion or explanation for separating young children from their parents, or by making the case to Congress for more family detention facilities. It started by taking kids from their parents first and attempting to assuage demands for legislation later.

and came right out and said he was considering seperating families as a deterrent although I suppose it's nice to have paper back up.
