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.
So much wishful thinking.
The US military is the biggest commitor of war crimes behind Israel, they regular slaughter civilians and laugh about it, and the only ones to ever get in trouble and serve time are always the whistle blowers.
What planet do you live on?
Well, you see, those people that the American military murders on a regular basis are brown people in a faraway country, so they don’t count or something.
As with most things, people don’t care until it personally affects them or people they personally know.
The racism subject aside, I DO think a the majority of them are gonna give big wtf’s when they’re told to do that to American citizens on American soil, regardless of skin color. There will be some who enjoy it because they’re scum, but I definitely know that even the craziest motherfuckers with the most PTSD who enlisted in several branches would tell you to go fuck yourself if you deployed them to New York and said beat the shit out of or shoot these civilians. They may be dumb as fuck, but they aren’t all that stupid. And yes I know this is naive and optimistic.
