    Look on the bright side, it's only 3 years, 10 months left.

    If anyone knows how to multiply the ranks of enemy aliens it's Donald Trump...

    Trump told reporters he hadn't signed executive order even though his signature is on it and other people can't sign executive orders. Then talked about Rubio doing wonderful job.

    Press Secretary explained what Trump really meant was he hadn't signed original 1798 law. Oh.

    Revealed one of the men sent to concentration camp in El Salvador is a gay make up artist. He has a tattoo "Mom". That was evidence he was criminal gang member.

    How is an out gay man being treated in that torture chamber?

    Legal resident of US in renal failure. His brother, who lives in Venezuela, is a match. Brother came here legally to donate a kidney. He has been rounded up and placed in detention pending deportation.

    ICE will probably deport the transplanted kidney too.

    The kidney hasn't been transplanted. The donor is being deported before he can donate.

    Of course. Kill two Venezuelan birds with one stone (not kidney variety). Great example of government efficiency…and cruelty.

    I never liked the idea of forcing immigrants to leave the country. We were built on immigration all along. The rules for immigration have historically been based upon race and racism - initially towards Asians, and these days towards Central and South Americans. I don’t like it at all.

    I grew up being told it’s a Free Country. Let it be Free.

    I remember in the 1970s being able to walk across a bridge from the San Diego side of the border into Mexico and back into the United States. No passport required. No having to stop and be searched. The border has been the longest and most peaceful border in the world, until republicans declared war on the people on the other side.

    I am ok with getting rid of convicted criminals.

    I’m ok with building a wall in places where people who would cross there would be in danger from wandering around in the desert. Otherwise, let immigrants come through the border crossings - the people who don’t cross there are the criminals and smugglers and they’ll be easier to identify.

    Citizenship is a matter for Congress to decide. Residency should be no different than for an American visiting another country (still an American citizen), subject to laws and taxes of that country.

    Some people think that sneaking into the country is breaking the law. So is jaywalking. Neither law should be heavily enforced.

    Excellent post. Almost exactly how I feel.

    Except, in the 70s I was just a twinkle in my Daddy's eye...

    Extreme Court voted 5-4 with Barrett joining dissent that Trump has right to send people to foreign concentration camps as long as there is due process. Which you can bet will be made as difficult as possible to access.

    A Wisconsin cop was fired briefly after breaking down his girlfriend's door. He was later reinstated after accepting a plea for property damage.

    He was fired for good after driving into a house. He had twice legal limit of alcohol. Then investigation revealed he had claimed overtime he never worked.

    Got a job as an investigator with a private security firm working with ICE. He flagged a gay makeup artist as a gang member after mistaking the artist's Christian and "Mom" tattoos for gang tats. Man sent to Salvadoran concentration camps without charges or trial for life.

    Trump demands Canada renounce their sovereignty and become a state. He demands Panama turn over the Canal. He demands Denmark cede Greenland. He has made threats against all these countries.

    But he can't ask El Salvador to release a prisoner the US sent there and is paying Salvadoran government to hold.
