Immigration Issues

[Emily Lake]

1) They're going after blue states, not after the states with the biggest "problem".

They're intervening in states that are actively and intentionally interfering with federal law enforcement, and aiding criminals to break federal law. They don't have to intervene in states that follow the laws and assist federal enforcement.

That’s straight out of the FOX playbook.

I won’t even attempt to do the reprogramming necessary.

But let me tell you this: people I love have been living in a domestic war zone thanks to Trump and a great big bat of xenophobia dressed liberally with lies. I know people who, for months, have been afraid to leave their homes or to send their young children to school without their passports.

The lawless in this situation is ICE and the Trump Administration who are as we speak buying up warehouses for more interment camps. July like the Nazis they admire. Or just like we did for the Japanese during WWII? Or the ‘Indian schools?’.

You should know better. And the fact that you don’t or are just along to ride the waves of white nationalism down the sewer that is Trump’s administration demonstrates just how hopeless a case you are.

It's actually fascinating in a morbid way to watch the radicalization of people I've interacted with for years happen in real time.

Let's start with a very basic premise: Are local law enforcement and local government in sanctuary cities cooperating with federal law with respect to immigration? What is the premise of a sanctuary city in the first place?

Funny how fast the timid Republitroids retreat from the States Rights mantra that served them so well when it was convenient.
Now, even Right Wing Democrats openly advocate for federal supremacy.

Minnesota has always cooperated with immigration as required by law. The invasion of Minnesota and now Maine has absolutely nothing to do with 'sanctuary cities' or 'illegal immigrants.' If illegal immigrants were the issue, there would be much greater ICE focus in Florida, Texas, and much of the rest of the south. Or California, for that matter. No: this is Trump trying to get revenge on Tim Walz for having the nerve to run on a ticket with Kamala Harris ....and very gently make fun of him. The man who daily calls other people, mostly women, stupid, low IQ and other insults cannot take being called 'weird.'

I'm exactly who I've always been. I'm just a bit louder about it now than I used to be because there used to be fewer flagrant reasons to be 'loud.'

I don't find that you are radicalized at all. You've always been pretty much who you are: white is right and it's straight all the way and all that jazz. Oops: should not have said jazz. That music form has its roots in black music. Which leaves out rock and roll as well.
