The President Trump Immigration Thread

[OakRiver]

You asked where they got the title from and that was the best evidence in that clip I could find. So (in States that in law recognize gun free zones) are guns not banned in gun free zones?

What law bans Trump from Chicago?

He was saying that Chicago is free from Trump's immigration policy, not free from Trump. He is still playing up the whole sanctuary city angle. Sounded more like a recruiting video. He is trying to get illegals to move to Chicago because it is such a great place for them to be.

Where did they get that title from what Rahm said?

Swan Lake???

"And then I was like, Chicago is a Trump Free zone...."

I agree with you. I'm just trying to help explain where the title may have come from.

Sent the following to local paper today as Letter to editor:

I’m struggling to understand how ostensibly educated people remain so obtuse about DACA—the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Recall with me exactly what action was deferred: prosecution for breaking the law. President Obama stated many times he had no authority to do so, then later did anyway.


That DREAMers did not bring themselves here illegally indeed makes them victims. Children every day are victimized by adults in their lives. In ways big and small, from divorce to debt, kids face the consequences of what adults do. And when those adults break the law, it may be something as small as a speeding ticket taking away a dinner out, or something as big as having your whole life uprooted.


Let us be absolutely clear: the DREAMers are living a stolen dream, a dream stolen by their parents or another adult. It’s as if a child grew up as a squatter in a nice house. It may be the only home they ever know, but it was never theirs, and the time they spent there was stolen from someone who rightfully owned the house.
If the DREAMers are upset about being deported, they need to target their anger appropriately at those who led them to believe a stolen item was theirs all along—their parents or other adults who brought them here illegally. There should be ample time to discuss as they are deported.


The dream was stolen not only from American citizens. More importantly, it was taken from legal immigrants, who patiently waited through the absurdly complex and slow process of becoming American citizens. Rewarding the DREAMers or any other illegal is a slap in the face of every immigrant who is waiting in that long line to realize their own American dream, instead of cutting the line and taking someone else’s dream.


Becoming an American is not a right, it is the highest privilege in human history. We must not cheapen it because we are confused about who is responsible for the consequences of enforcing the laws that make that citizenship so precious.

Ah. I just chalk it up to click bait.

The needless snark doesn't add anything to the topic. I suspect the needless snark IS the topic.

You called?

This right here... when my mother became a naturalized citizen, it was her proudest moment after her children. She worked hard to learn the language and history, and pass the exam. She did it the right way, the HARD WAY.

Those who come here illegally spit in the faces of those seeking to emigrate the LONG, SLOW, HARD WAY... legally.

Why be so self-deprecating? I don't think of you as "needless snark".

 

[Alpo]

semi-needless?

(snarked snark)

Really?

It needs a large banner under the Trump logo declaring it a "Rahm-Free Zone"!

This would fit equally well in the 'Insane Social Justice' thread.

So let me get this right-- they're going to argue that it's against the law for the a President to stop operating outside the law ?

They haven't fielded a sensible argument yet so why start now? Once again, we see an emotional plea as a veneer over complete horsesh*t.

Good luck with that. A lawsuit to compel the continued failure to enforce the law and enshrine an unconstitutional overreach?

OK

SNL actually got this one right:
