4/15/19: In recent days, the president has been floating all kinds of
bizarre ideas, where illegal immigrants and refugees seeking asylum are
involved. That includes attacking the federal judiciary every time he fails to
get his way: “Even the Democrats now say that our Southern Border is a Crisis
and a National Emergency. Hopefully, we will not be getting any more BAD
(outrageous) court decisions!”
Once again, his unreasoning fans ignore his Orange Fuhrer instincts – as evidenced by the 77,000 “likes.”
A one-branch form of government? Sure! How come the Founding Fathers never thought of that?
There have been multiple reports that Trump has been telling
border officials if they break the law and refuse to allow refugees to enter
the U.S., he will pardon them. No sweat. According to CNN, two sources reported
that Trump told border patrol agents to ignore any orders from judges. “Sorry, judge, I
can’t do it,” he told them to say. “We don’t have the room.”
Even better is his “plan” to dump illegals who enter the U.S. in asylum cities, because why not screw citizens in parts of the country that didn’t vote for you and don’t support your every move.
Consider how dumb this “plan” is. First, Trump would be asking Customs and Border Patrol to transport asylum seekers and others hundreds of miles north to cities like San Francisco, St. Paul, Minnesota and Newark, New Jersey.
Second, local authorities might simply decide:
“Hey, we’re sanctuary cities. We’re not going to lock these people up.” Presto,
all the immigrants the president wants to block at the border – because he says
they’re “animals” and MS-13 gang members – go free and scatter across the
country.
Obviously, this is a stupid plan and would only encourage migrants to try to reach the border, get arrested, and receive transportation deep into the interior. Press Secretary Pinocchio insisted this morning that the president really “likes the idea,” and “we’re looking to see if there are options to make it possible.”
So: If wages are miserable in Guatemala or gang violence threatens your family in El Salvador, pack your bags. The Trump Administration is going to send you to Boston, or Chicago, or Detroit or Washington D.C.
POSTSCRIPT: On This Week, host George Stephanopoulos tried to pin Pinocchio (Sarah Sanders) down. He noted that when news of this plan first leaked a few days ago, the White House denied it. He added that the Department of Homeland Security had already announced that such a plan would be illegal.
“Democrats have said they want these individuals into their communities,” Pinocchio responded, ignoring the question of legality, so “let’s see if it works, and everybody gets a win out of it.”
This would seem to indicate that the Press Secretary has suffered brain damage as a result of shilling for Trump. You could point out that not all citizens of, say, Newark, are “Democrats.”
You might mention that “independents” in politics,
living in St. Paul, might not want dangerous individuals, as Trump portrays
them, deposited on their doorsteps.
And you could highlight how petulant and insane
Trump sounds, when he tweets this kind of message:
Democrats must
change the Immigration Laws FAST. If not, Sanctuary Cities must immediately ACT
to take care of the Illegal Immigrants – and this includes Gang Members, Drug
Dealers, Human Traffickers, and Criminals of all shapes, sizes and kinds.
CHANGE THE LAWS NOW!
BLOGGER’S NOTE: To see just how insane
Trump’s plan really is, see 4/16/19, 4/17/19 and 4/18/19, among other examples.
