Correct me if I'm wrong...

...but isn't Trump's threat to bus asylum seekers from detention centers on the Southern Border to major cities in the United States and drop them off his exact definition of "catch and release"? And isn't this something Trump railed against for 3 years?

Catch and release dropped them off in Mexico where they had to walk back across the border to get back in. Instead Trump drops them off in cities where they can find a community, a job, legal aid, and medical care. So this more like catch and put in an aquarium.

All sanctuary cities should get federal money to accept the vetted refugees. We'd all take them, in a heartbeat.

Instead they're going to dump them off, (with no financial support, with nothing but unfunded mandate style federal oversight edicts to be enforced on their blue area political enemies), mixed with unvetted bad guys, and hope for the worst.

So they can exploit any and all bad outcomes from the situation that they purposefully created, politically. Any crime from one of their unvetted drop offs 'proves' that 'immigrants are criminals', just like they said.

Lying, treasonous, nazi weasels.

he "loves Wikileaks"....well, used to, now he has no idea what Wikileaks is. None.

And, as with everything else, the mainstream press just says "Yes sir, whatever you say, sir!".
