President Trump’s Harsh Immigration Policy Is Now a Reality

The Department of Homeland Security issued new memos on Tuesday that give U.S. officials sweeping latitude to target “removable aliens” for deportation, effectively making most of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. as priority targets.

The memos, issued by Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly, enforce executive orders issued by Trump shortly after taking office. Obama administration policies previously directed immigration officials to focus on convicted criminals instead of the broader undocumented population. Kelly’s memos instruct agents to also prioritize undocumented immigrants who have been charged with a crime but not convicted of it, or committed an act that may be criminal offenses but haven’t been charged for it. Those categories mean that almost any brush with the American law-enforcement system could make an undocumented immigrant a target for removal.

1. i hate him. i don't like to use that word, but

he is despicable. every time i see his face i'd like to punch him in it. again, i don't like feeling this way, but i can't help it. i'm also having a hard time forgiving anyone who voted for him.

2. I wrestle with the word hate. He is a deplorable man with no redeeming qualities, none...

He's more like a mafia boss than a president.

3. I'm uncomfortable with that word

I do not wish him physical harm but I can't stand him. I could not shake his hand. I would be so uncomfortable to be in the same room, I would have to find an exit. I may not be able to say "hate" but I do not have good vibes towards this person. He gives me the creeps.

4. i don't wish him harm either -- but i wouldn't

mourn if he dropped dead. the day scalia died i tried, but i couldn't keep the smile off my face.

5. I didn't smile about Scalia. Some of his health issue hit close to home

but I never came anywhere close to mourning his loss. I welcomed the notion that his replacement would be a Democrat's choice .... (ugh - I hope the Democrats do the same thing to Trump as the GOP did to Obama)

If Trump dropped dead, I wouldn't feel any remorse. None whatsoever. The country would be better off and fewer Americans would have to die because of this asshole.

6. i did feel bad about smiling but it was so "automatic".

my friend was in the house doing some work for me and i ran to tell him. he said "this could change the whole country". of course, we were both thinking obama would appoint someone.

7. We had a pretty nice country not very long ago

Like a couple of months ago



Thanks, deplorables
