The Trump administration imposes yet another arbitrary,absurd modification to the immigration system

[Zorro]

What do you do if immigrants learn how to navigate the latest booby trap you’ve set for them?

If you’re the Trump administration, you set that trap for someone else those immigrants must rely on — such as law enforcement or medical personnel, who submit evidence for certain visa applications.

Last fall, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services introduced perhaps its most arbitrary, absurd modification yet to the immigration system: It began rejecting applications unless every single field was filled in, even those that obviously did not pertain to the applicant.

“Middle name” field left blank because the applicant does not have a middle name? Sorry, your application gets rejected. No apartment number because you live in a house? You’re rejected, too.

This maladministration and its Republican enablers are systematically destroying what once made this country great.

1. The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

2. Watch Immigration Nation

We have psychopaths running our government and sadists running Immigration - Stephen Miller for sure.
This has been their game - change the rules often and just stop processing everything. Inflicting pain as a deterrent is their state mission.

Watching Immigration Nation changed the way I see all of America. It has officially gone full Nazi. I am ashamed of this country.

3. Stephen Miller

Yeah, Stephen Miller definitely belongs in The Hague, not the White House. That’s why I started a petition to bring him to justice. Click here to sign!

4. Well done.

5. There's no petition at that link.

Also, I question the actual real-world value of "Change dot Org" petitions.

7. Odd. When I click his link I get a sign-up/sign-in page.

I don't want to create an account there. In any regard, these online petitions remind me a lot of online polls.

I was interested enough to click and take a peek, but not interested enough to create an account or sign-up for anything.

8. It just leads to the petition - and we've all seen them - and the number of people who've signed.
