Who is supporting the immigrant caravan?

http://news.trust.org/item/20190412195230-wi9c5 So all of those sanctuary cities opining for the illegal immigrants residing in their cities... you could get your wish... more illegals for you to love. You would think these cities would be overjoyed at the opportunity to help even more people. For some very odd reason these sanctuary cities are not all the enthralled about welcoming more illegals into their sanctuary...

Not enthralled about welcoming illegals into their sanctuary? From your own freaking article:

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney responded in a statement: "While the Trump administration's proposal shows their disdain to basic human dignity, the City (Philadelphia) would be prepared to welcome these immigrants just as we have embraced our immigrant communities for decades."

[...]

"In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement "We would welcome these migrants with open arms, just as we welcomed Syrian refugees, just as we welcomed Puerto Ricans displaced by Hurricane Maria and just as we welcome Rohingya refugees fleeing genocide in Myanmar."


The important takeaway is that Trump and Republicans had two years to fix immigration and didn't. Now Trump is happy not only letting illegal immigrants into the US, but he is going to dump them off into cities where they won't be hassled by ICE as easily?

Talk about your all time boneheaded moves.

Probably about as boneheaded as establishing sanctuary cities in the first place. Here in NYS the movement is very quiet among some law enforcement agencies in Upstate NY that will not enforce the SAFE act. If you want to go plinking away with your AR-15 with 30 round magazines these police officials will look the other way. When it starts to evolve into local communities not enforcing laws that they disagree with... then what is the point of having laws in the first place. In regards to immigration you make a very valid point... the Republicans had their chance to do something. The Republicans are no more interested in a solution than the Democrats are. The status quo seems just fine with the leadership of both parties. If the leaders of these Democratically run cities really have no problem with Trump sending them to their cities why the outrage to begin with? If Trump is grandstanding then let these leaders welcome these many thousands of people with open arms. Then when the hoopla dies down you then have to decide how you take care of these folks. That is one enormous task to say the least.

Oh Boy

Yikes, indeed this could get real ugly fast.
Brown shirts.

Kinda goes with cradle seems to be implying about upstate NY AR-15 practice.

As an aside, saw movie The Best of Enemies last night at my local AMC. True story.

Movie blurb:

"Ann Atwater, an outspoken civil rights activist, and C.P. Ellis, a local Ku Klux Klan leader who reluctantly co-chaired a community summit, battle over the desegregation of schools in Durham, North Carolina during the racially-charged summer of 1971."

I was 14 in 1971, the lead characters were roughly my parents ages, lots of characters younger.

While it inspiringly portrays the arc through which the primary characters travel, one of the key takeaways my wife and I had in walking out was the realization that while the lead characters recently passed away, an awful lot of those virulently and viciously racist folks are alive and voting today, and very likely taught their own children the same fear and hate, and belief in white supremacy.

We pretend, at times, that these views have become truly marginalized in our society. But, nah, you don't believe this stuff and it just melts away with time...unless you actually have a transformative experience of human recognition of the other. And that's rare.

Stick around for the credits, including some interviews with the lead characters prior to their deaths.

Only one? Amazing.

Only one? Amazing.

He was arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm (to which he as been already arrested before)... Easy to do it in this case, because his actual actions at the border don't come into play except for the fact that it made law enforcement look at him...

How Stephen Miller made immigration personal

A small minority of Americans support this guy's approach. Why should this sort of thing be foisted on the majority when it comes to official US policy?

Because some numbnuts cheated to get elected?

It really is pretty funny that all the sanctuary cities Orange Duce has threatened, they all react the same way, "sure send them right along, happy to have them".

How Technology Could Revolutionize Refugee Resettlement

"For nearly 70 years, the process of interviewing, allocating, and accepting refugees has gone largely unchanged. In 1951, 145 countries came together in Geneva, Switzerland, to sign the Refugee Convention, the pact that defines who is a refugee, what refugees’ rights are, and what legal obligations states have to protect them.

This process was born of the idealism of the postwar years—an attempt to make certain that those fleeing war or persecution could find safety so that horrific moments in history, such as the Holocaust, didn’t recur. The pact may have been far from perfect, but in successive years, it was a lifeline to Afghans, Bosnians, Kurds, and others displaced by conflict.

The world is a much different place now, though. The rise of populism has brought with it a concomitant hostility toward immigrants in general and refugees in particular. Last October, a gunman who had previously posted anti-Semitic messages online against HIAS killed 11 worshippers in a Pittsburgh synagogue. Many of the policy arguments over resettlement have shifted focus from humanitarian relief to security threats and cost. The Trump administration has drastically cut the number of refugees the United States accepts, and large parts of Europe are following suit.

If it works, Annie could change that dynamic. Developed at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, Lund University in Sweden, and the University of Oxford in Britain, the software uses what’s known as a matching algorithm to allocate refugees with no ties to the United States to their new homes. (Refugees with ties to the United States are resettled in places where they have family or community support; software isn’t involved in the process.)"

Right.....b/c the TAATS in the swamp do NOT send federal dollar$ Those deplorables in Beria, Kentucky sure would love to have all that State Dept. money to "$upport" refuge$. Wouldn't they....A FAN Oh, right, illegal mayor Emanuel is hosting refuges out of the goodness of his hearts.
Cry us a river......or perhaps, the big, wallstreet, WHITE guy donors to the Obama foundation could support the refuges when tRump cuts the budgets (alleged ) coorelated to the reduced number of refuges allowed.

In other news about laws we do NOT enforce.....only this time:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shelley-jo ... e-custody/

Joseph and MacGregor are charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice, obstruction of a federal proceeding and perjury

Gov. Charlie Baker called the allegations "disturbing."

"Nobody's above the law," he said.

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey slammed the decision to prosecute as a "radical and politically-motivated attack on our state and the independence of our courts.

The pretends make me sick.........the guy is a terrorist. (drug dealer) Why bother having laws? And I have an AG that wants a DRUG DEALER free to roam. WTH

Judge Shelley looks very close to "that" girl picked up at Buffs' Pub all those years ago.
