Trump says immigration raids coming 'fairly soon'

Source: Reuters


JULY 5, 2019 / 8:11 PM / UPDATED 10 HOURS AGO

(Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Friday mass deportation roundups would begin “fairly soon” as U.S. migrant advocates vowed their communities would be “ready” when immigration officers come.

Trump, who has made a hardline immigration stance a key issue of his presidency and 2020 re-election bid, postponed the operation last month after the date was leaked, but on Monday he said it would take place after July 4.

“They’ll be starting fairly soon, but I don’t call them raids, we’re removing people, all of these people who have come in over the years illegally,” he told reporters at the White House on Friday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last month said operations would target recently-arrived undocumented migrants in a bid to discourage a surge of Central American families at the southwest border.

Where is he going to warehouse these people while they await deportation? The lowest of the low things he does includes deporting the families of active American military members, in addition to declaring war on children on our border. I have no more words to express my hate for this man and his administration.

but don't close your eyes or look away, that is what the "good Germans" did.



From Andy Andrews book, "How Do You Kill 11 Million People."

“People are being rounded-up all over the country. The numbers are small and scattered now, but the mechanism is being established. It is vans and buses now, when the cattle cars start screaming by, how loudly will you be singing?”

“The Holocaust resulted neither from a confluence of circumstances beyond human control nor from history’s inexorable march. It happened because ordinary people failed to stop it.”

To all us Americans
Now that we know what our government is doing, if we do nothing to help stop it, we are guilty too.

And remember his claim of them working on a 10 % tax cut for the middle class that he suggested was coming before the Mid terms that never happened, and that Mexico would pay for his vanity wall he used to incite people with. They're going to catch on to this serial liar and con man. Just like his statement about the homeless, which is a set up for him to attack them here soon and try to force others to do his dirty work to hurt them even more. Next he'll start witness tampering again by threatening Mueller and suggestions he'll use Barr to go after him in some way if he does anything to expose him under oath.

raid
/rād/
noun
noun: raid; plural noun: raids
1.
a sudden attack on an enemy by troops, aircraft, or other armed forces in warfare.
"a bombing raid"
synonyms: surprise attack, hit-and-run raid, tip-and-run raid, assault, descent, blitz, incursion, foray, sortie; More
a surprise attack to commit a crime, especially to steal from business premises.
"an early morning raid on a bank"

No, it's not a "raid". It's a "friendly social call" where people may be asked to step out of their house and never return.

Fuck you, you fucking fatass white racist entitled piece of shit who failed upward.

I so hope he's got a blood clot with his name on it just dangling and ready to break free.
