It's not enough that Trump & Co. has placed bans on Muslim immigrants, has snatched children from the arms of Latino immigrants seeking political asylum, and has characterized them as criminals and rapists.

Not enough that he and his supporters have engaged in hate based demagoguery and rhetoric that has fanned the flames of racism and inspired its open expression by neo-nazis, supremacists, bigots, and separatists, who in turn are now so emboldened as to march their hateful bile through the streets of America and enter into races for political offices.

Not enough that black people are having cops called on them for everything from barbequing to selling lemonade.

Not enough that he, his administration, the Supreme Court, and conservatives have engaged in voter suppression efforts based upon the outright LIE of voter fraud, and that they are pressuring states to purge their voter rolls of mostly minority voters, often in error and without notice.

Not enough that they've attacked affirmative action in college admissions and sought to quiet protest on police misconduct, by pressuring the NFL to enact rules that penalize players.

Now Trump and his gestapo like henchman, Stephen Miller, want to limit the opportunity for citizenship for LEGAL immigrants. But not ALL, mind you.

No, the underhanded b------------------- are planning on crafting the policy in a way that MOST likely will affect poorer, black and brown skinned immigrants:

Now the Trump administration wants to limit citizenship for legal immigrants

"Details of the rulemaking proposal are still being finalized, but based on a recent draft seen last week and described to NBC News, immigrants living legally in the U.S. who have ever used or whose household members have ever used Obamacare, children's health insurance, food stamps and other benefits could be hindered from obtaining legal status in the U.S.

Immigration lawyers and advocates and public health researchers say it would be the biggest change to the legal immigration system in decades and estimate that more than 20 million immigrants could be affected. They say it would fall particularly hard on immigrants working jobs that don't pay enough to support their families.

Many are like Louis Charles, a Haitian green-card holder seeking citizenship who, despite working up to 80 hours a week as a nursing assistant, has had to use public programs to support his disabled adult daughter."

Gee I wonder if Melania ever used any of those things ?

Never went to a "free clinic" ??

Of course she is white, pretty and willing to fuck so old NYC asshole so I guess it would not matter

Not to mention the fact that well off pregnant Russian women are being wooed, chaperoned, and housed in TRUMP resorts and hotels, giving birth to little "U.S. citizens."

Then on the other hand, you read about jack--------- like THIS:

Trump may not be enough to swing Latino turnout Democrats' way - CNNPolitics

"The reality is there are about one-third of Texas Hispanics who hold relatively restrictionist attitudes on immigration, support Republican positions, support Republican candidates ... and they were doing that while (Republican) politicians in this state were spending $800 million on border security and trying to pass sanctuary city laws with 'show me your papers' provisions," Blank said. "It's not that Trump comes along and Texas Hispanics are saying: 'What's going on here?' It's what has been going on here, and they have already arrived at those opinions."

But make them hispanic and all the sudden they are "anchor babies" and Republicans have long tried to argue that that no they are NOT citizens and the very same provision in the 14th amendment does not apply to them.

Add to that the fucking irony that Trump campaigned AGAINST "birth right citizenship"

Like I said. Trump wants to limit citizenship for CERTAIN people. For the PRIVLEDGED? Business as usual:

Melania Trump's parents sworn in as US citizens

(video courtesy of msn.com - because nbcnews has rendered all of their news video un-linkable.)


First lady Melania Trump's immigrant parents sworn in as citizens


from the above:

"This is the usual way most immigrants to the U.S. get green cards and eventually apply for citizenship: through their links to spouses or close relatives who are already citizens. However, Trump has strongly criticized this kind of family-based immigration, which he calls "chain migration."

Melania and her parents aren’t the only members of Trump’s family to benefit from the policy he derides. [Trump's] paternal grandfather and mother did, too, migrating from Germany and Scotland, respectively, to join siblings in New York. (Trump's first wife and mother to his three oldest children, Ivana, also is an immigrant, from Czechoslovakia.)

Nevertheless, in February, the administration laid out an immigration proposal that included a massive cut in family-based immigration, according to a White House briefing for congressional staffers and Trump allies hosted by Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller, the administration's leading advocate for reducing legal immigration to the U.S."

I just posted about this in another thread.

This is just another example of GOP hypocrisy. Citizenship and abortions only to be allowed to those privileged few. Everyone else can go to hell. That's the GOP way.

Thanks, Storm. Yep.

And the sad part is, Trump's mindless basket of supporters and apologists won't mind this any more than the care about all the rest.

They'll be pleased as punch just as long as they think he's sticking it to some minority.

Yep. Russian women check into Miami hotels in order to give birth. The babies are automatic citizens. GREAT!
Women from other nations give birth. Babies are automatic citizens. THAT SHOULDN'T BE!!

GOP hypocrisy at it's finest.

While Trump again resorts to his tried and true hate based rhetoric:

Trump is in trouble, so he’s reaching for his ace in the hole: hate - The Washington Post

His administration, now well beyond the court ordered deadline for reuniting stolen children with their families, is reportedly deliberately stalling the vetting process:

Ex-officials, groups say Trump admin intentionally bogging down refugee vetting process

While even immigrants with legal U.S. status are being detained and rounded up by ICE in a systemic and coordinated effort that can only be accurately described as:

Ethnic Cleansing

from the above:


"The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship.

In some cases, passport applicants with official U.S. birth certificates are being jailed in immigration detention centers and entered into deportation proceedings. In others, they are stuck in Mexico, their passports suddenly revoked when they tried to reenter the United States... U.S. citizens are increasingly being swept up by immigration enforcement agencies.

By the same administration that wants to disenfranchise Latino voters and kill DACA, that threatens to and actually deports DREAMers, and that actively works to destroy immigrant families. This is ethnic cleansing. And if this administration is not stopped, it will get worse."

Like the Nazis they must sit up at night, hold meetings on new and sinister ways to punish and torture minorities. What's next medical experiments on races they don't like like the Nazis? Ethic cleansing? And it is without doubt his approval numbers in his party would be unphased. Hey they were illegals...yeah yeah that's what they were.

President Trump’s bigoted hatred of Latino immigrants has been clear from the beginning. Now his administration is aggressively persecuting Latino citizens as well.

It is hard to be shocked anymore, given the daily outrages committed by Trump and his minions, but a report Thursday by The Post was jaw-dropping: In the borderlands of southern Texas, the State Department is denying passports to hundreds and perhaps thousands of men and women who have official birth certificates demonstrating they were born in the United States.​

I hope latino republicans are taking note of this, because it isn't about illegals anymore. This is about AMERICANS being caught up in Trump's white supremacy. If you support trump, and are a minority, don't kid yourselves, you will simply be on the last train to the camps.

Starting with all but gutting the 14th amendment

Because according to them it was ONLY intended to address the children of freed slaves

Not withstanding the FACT that the Supreme Court has ruled MORE THAN ONCE otherwise

Donald Trump And Jeff Sessions Are Hijacking The Judicial System To Attack Dreamers | HuffPost
.
"Trump’s “unshackled” agents at Immigration and Customs Enforcement aren’t the only villains terrorizing immigrants and refugees these days. Trump’s legion of xenophobic allies are fighting the anti-immigrant crusade on several judicial fronts.

The Trump administration is turning immigration judges into its own attack dogs and annexing them as part of its immigration police force. In what can only be classified as a deliberate attack on judicial independence, Sessions recently ordered the swift removal and replacement of an immigration judge in Pennsylvania who delayed the deportation of a Guatemalan man by asking for more information on the case.

The Philadelphia Inquirer described Sessions’ removal of Judge Steven Morley as an attempt to “subvert” the judicial process, “undermine” Morley’s independence, and impugn “his competence and integrity, all to obtain a particular outcome in the case.”"


MEANWHILE:
.
DACA recipient worries about future: 'There are 206 days left until I find myself without a job'

"While courts have partially resurrected the program, the Trump administration has gone to an anti-immigrant judge in Texas to kill it once and for all—and their effort may be successful."


I think I'm in love with you

... pure evil:

Sessions Is Poised to Make It Vastly Harder for Asylum-Seekers to Get Out of Detention – Mother Jones

"On Tuesday, in a now-familiar tactic, Sessions used his broad authority over America’s immigration courts to refer a case to himself. The move will allow him to reinterpret a 2005 decision from the Justice Department’s Board of Immigration Appeals that gives some migrants the ability to get out of detention on bond. Sessions now appears likely to strip many detained immigrants of that right.

The self-referral comes two weeks after the Trump administration proposed a rule that would allow it to detain migrant families indefinitely.

In a strange twist, asylum-seekers who request protection at official border crossings—the government’s preferred route—must ask Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to grant them parole, rather than asking a judge to grant bond. That distinction matters because ICE has shown an almost complete unwillingness to grant parole under Trump.

["catcha 22"]


A class-action lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in March showed that in five of its 24 field offices, ICE paroled 92 percent of eligible asylum-seekers between 2011 and 2013. In the first months of the Trump administration, from February to September 2017, ICE’s parole rate dropped to less than 4 percent in those offices. The El Paso, Texas, field office denied parole in all 349 cases it heard.

Ansly Damus, a Haitian national who is the named plaintiff in the ALCU lawsuit, has now been detained for 23 months. He has not been outside in nearly two years because the Ohio jail where he is being held does not have a recreation area..."
