Trump order drops protection for families of deployed military

[n2doc]

Nathan Fletcher

Imagine you are a member of the United States military deployed on the front lines confronting ISIS or other terrorist threats. Suddenly you get a desperate phone call from home — Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested your family and they’re facing deportation.

Think it can’t happen? Think again. Think Trump.

The Trump administration’s draconian and hastily drafted immigration orders rescind a key protection for military families so that now even military spouses and children can be rounded up and deported. This will weaken our armed forces. It will harm thousands of military families. And it’s wrong.

In 2013, the Department of Homeland Security, at the request of the Defense Department, issue a policy memorandum aimed at preventing the deportation of spouses, parents and children of active-duty service members through a program called “Parole in Place.”

That's really supporting our Troops, Asshat.

1. Holy shit. My Dad earned his citizenship by fighting WW2 from start to end...

He wasn't married yet, but my mom was working as a nanny and although she was lucky to have a sponsor- that's the kind of woman who'd be shut out of luck in this economy.

2. That's it.

These guys have their heads in their rectum. Sounds like a veterans group resist.

I am a loyal American in opposition to pRezident dRumpf and the GOP.

BTW, my wife and I were in DC on January 21. I've lived and worked in the DC area and have never seen anything like it.

It seems to me, we need another gathering, only bigger. Especially when Congress is in session.

3. I got side tracked in my other posting

I would hope and pray that no troop, sailor, marine have had their families affected.

Let's put out a call to the Veterans groups. I'm from a military family. When someone joins, that person puts a lot on the line. The ultimate sacrifice.

4. That's gonna piss off the troops.

From a military leadership perspective, this is absolute zero-level stupid.


ETA: Doubtful if dolt45 even has a clue that a lot of US military members are not citizens; and a lot of them are Mexicans.

5. I did not know there could be so many final straws!

Beyond vile. I fucking live in San Diego and we are heavily populated by military families and Latinos and disproportionately both. I mean a higher percentage of Latinos are in the military than the overall population. So pissed, I am not sure I typed it right.

This is going to cause something to happen. Afraid to speculate.
