This whole barbed/concertina wire is pure theater. The few remaining migrants who might arrive at the border in a few weeks are simply going to present themselves at a border crossing and request asylum. AS THEY HAVE DONE EVERY TIME IN THE PAST!
The shitgibbon and his enablers are promoting a vision of WWII assaults with people throwing their bodies across the wire and the children running over their backs to freedom. While carrying suicide bombs, infectious diseases, Korans, drugs, and lest we forget, ROCKS:eek:
Another hundred million dollars down the drain while Mattis and Kelly delude themselves that they’re keeping the Big Baby in check.
It’s legal in the eyes of the judiciary; it won’t be legal in the eyes of Trump’s administration. I suspect that legal asylum seekers will be treated as if they were illegally crossing and incarcerated. This president and his many, many enablers are making it clear that they don’t give a shit about the rule of law. This country is slipping ever closer into tyranny.
What “suspect”? It’s what this administration has been doing! They made it unacceptable to request asylum at the points of entry, then they removed an existing policy by which it was ok to request asylum after entering the country (which could even have been done legally, student visas and day shopping trips and tourism are legal!), so when people did ask for asylum, the grown-ups got put in a warehouse and the kids in a cage, the first to wait for deportation and the second for adoption.
The current administration has recovered every knowin instance of government-stolen children and made it televised policy.
Yep, they’re normalizing government thuggery, in violation of standing law.
We are frogs getting boiled slowly. But they’re starting to turn up the heat now. Most people just don’t seem to understand how this will impact them eventually. Once the rule of law gets chipped away, that affects everyone, whether you’re a middle class white guy in the suburbs or a migrant asylum seeker at the border.
It has been widely reported that Trump will deem any rocks thrown these refugees as projectiles from a firearm. What the Fake News media is NOT reporting is that he is doing the same for paper and scissors.
Your kids are playin that game at their peril, just sayin’.
As unbelievable as it is that the so-called president of the United States would spout this bullshit, it is even more insane that so many people actually buy it. And I personally know some of them. :smack: What the fuck is wrong with them? “Take away your health benefits and give them to illegal aliens”?? Are you shitting me?
And if this man (so-called) were running for re-election tomorrow, I firmly believe he would get re-elected, and I also believe he will get re-elected in 2020. There’s just too much stupid around.
Sometimes I think Trump sprinkles these sorts of inconsequential lies into his speeches as test cases just to see how far he can go and still have people believe him.
George Costanza “It’s not a lie if YOU believe it”.
Sometimes I wonder if he’s gone so round the bend that he himself believes whatever spills out of his mouth. Maybe he dreams this shit and thinks it’s true.
