ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr Since I'm feeling unusually magnanimous, this morning, I've decided to help you out with these two bits which are, really part of a whole discussion on mean ol' Donald Trump and Saint Barack and how they "handled" immigration. So we had: quote:
ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr quote:
ORIGINAL: tj444 Dude, Trump (who is now a politician, btw) & the govt & ICE doesnt give a shite if an immigrant is a woman, a child or a man.. if they stop you and you dont have "papers", they will drag you to jail and deport you.. its in Trump's EO.. and dont think ICE agents have a heart at all.. if they did, they wouldnt be doing that job in the first place.. Babe, while President Trump is, indeed a politician and has been for about nine years, he has not done the things you claim. quote:
ORIGINAL: tj444 "As soon as he took office, Trump, whose anti-immigrant vitriol was a campaign trademark, signed two executive orders making nearly all undocumented immigrants target for arrest, detention, and deportation regardless of family ties, time they spent in this country, and criminal history. In September, Trump also rescinded stays on deportation granted through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, putting 800,000 young people brought to the U.S. as children in limbo and at risk for deportation." https://theintercept.com/2017/12/06/trump-immigration-deportation-dhs/ I'd prefer to see this EO you claim to be so heartless, rather than an opinion piece. that really centered around DACA (and how this thread got here, I don't know). DACA was about illegal immigrants and their children. The Original Post of this thread was about people who were allowed to immigrate here, on a TEMPORARY basis, legally. Anyway, when St. Dumbo Ears initiated his "Executive Order", creating DACA, he gave, as his absolute reasoning, that it was, essentially, a case of "prosecutorial discretion" as we see, here: quote:
ORIGINAL: St. Barak In March 2011, he told Univision: "there are enough laws on the books by Congress that are very clear in terms of how we have to enforce our immigration system that for me to simply through executive order ignore those congressional mandates would not conform with my appropriate role as president." "That does not mean, though, that we can't make decisions, for example, to emphasize enforcement on those who’ve engaged in criminal activity." You see, what he was saying is: "I can't change the law, but I can change how I enforce it" and that's correct, technically (although dereliction could be accused). So, he told his DOJ (essentially) not to worry about hard-working (mostly non-tax-paying) immigrants that happened to have invaded our country. Instead, concentrate on the criminals (like MS-13. How'd that work out?). What President Trump did was issue a directive (or, Executive Order, if you prefer) that said: "Yeah ... we're not doing that, anymore." So, really, just because one president saw this issue one way and structured his DOJ in such a way as to not follow the letter of the law, doesn't chain the new president to follow those directives. In fact, some would argue that illegal immigration was the sole real issue upon which President Trump was elected and as St. Barack also famously said: "Elections have consequences" Dude, its obvious that you didnt read the article (which is why I provided the link ) cuz there was a link in it for Trumps EO's directly on the official Whitehouse.gov site.. In the EO's he says to deport anyone without "papers".. there is no difference between men, women or children in his EO... As far as your "Saint Barack" goes, he is your Saint, not mine, I found him to be just as much of a lying 2-faced bastard as any other American politician is.. and he definitely deported a lot of people (more than Bush ever did).. he just focused resources on the worst ones first.. that's all he did..
