Trump Wants To Withdraw Deportation Protections For Families Of Active Troops

[douglas9]

The Trump administration wants to scale back a program that protects undocumented family members of active-duty troops from being deported, according to attorneys familiar with those plans.

The attorneys are racing to submit applications for what is known as parole in place after hearing from the wives and loved ones of deployed soldiers who have been told that option is "being terminated."

The protections will only be available under rare circumstances, the lawyers said they've been told.

"It's going to create chaos in the military," said Margaret Stock, an immigration attorney who represents recruits and veterans in deportation proceedings. "The troops can't concentrate on their military jobs when they're worried about their family members being deported."

Officials with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which offers parole in place as a "discretionary option," declined to discuss questions about the ending of the program.

5. Now we'll get more of those "right winger in the military" stories ...

"I voted for Trump because he was going to get all those 'illegals' out of the country. I didn't think he meant my wife" Well, you idiot, what made you think otherwise. Your wife is "an illegal" from Guatemala. Doesn't matter that you put on a uniform to defend the country, "illegal is illegal" unless you they are White, then that's okay.

I have sympathy for the families and the harm and disruption this causes, but I also feel annoyance for the fact that right wingers always seem to think that racism and xenophobia stops at the point where it would affect them. That is not how it works. There are always people willing to take them to their conclusion, which is putting people in camps, treating them inhumanely, then eventually wanting to systematically destroy them.
