President Trump has signed three more executive orders, further cracking down on the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers. One order seeks to compile a list of so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with Trump’s mass deportation policies.
A second order further militarizes local police departments, while providing legal resources to officers accused of abuses; it also seeks to undo federal consent decrees for departments that have committed civil rights abuses and seeks to punish local officials who “unlawfully prohibit law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.”
A third executive order requires professional truck drivers to be proficient in English. On Monday, staffers placed signs on the White House lawn showing mugshots of immigrants, linking them to crimes with the word ”ARRESTED” written in all caps.
This comes as House Republicans have proposed a bill that would charge people arriving at a U.S. port of entry $1,000 in order to file an asylum claim — and a $3,500 fee for those sponsoring children. The right to seek asylum is a fundamental human right enshrined in international law, and the U.S. has never before charged petitioners.
At the moment, our fiercest Democrat just voted for the new law to allow The government to censor anything on the internet they don’t like. I think it’s fair to say it’s not going well.
And people expected Kamala to be different why?
You have to admit, we wouldn’t be in a useless trade war threatening to tank the economy right now. Or threatening to anex Canada or Greenland. And they wouldn’t have just voted to make it legal to deport US citizens.
Funny, why don’t you name the law and let people look it up and read what it actually says? Are you talking about S.146, a bill to prohibit the nonconsensual online publication of intimate visual depictions of individuals, and requiring platforms to remove it upon request?
So in other words, if someone posts nudes of you online and you object to it, this law would require the site to take it down upon your requesting it… is THAT the censorship you are crying about??
You mean the one that’s so vaguely worded that it can be used by the government to silence anything and remove free speech?
Why didn’t you publish the entire full text of the bill here and all the possible outcomes along with a bunch of news articles listing pros and cons of such thing?
Christ, if you think that’s crying please don’t ever have kids.
I think now is a good time for third party too get going. I’m sure a bunch of left leaning Democrats could take a good chunk of the vote and tea party the Democrats.
Political IQ Exam: Do you think voting for a third party candidate is a viable option in a First Past the Post system"
The answer to that question is the simplest way possible to identify a complete lack of political intellect.
Wow you’re really committed to that user name .
We’ve passed a line, sans drastic things happening, there won’t be any meaningful votes anymore.
