UPDATE: I wrote about Border Patrol before the Sherriff Joe pardon. didn't think we could sink even lower
trump orders Border Patrol to keep checking citizenship status of those fleeing Hurricane Harvey.
Fuck this, and if you are a Border Control agent and you follow this dictum, I say you're guilty of crimes against humanity.
How God damn low can you go? We have completely lost our soul as a nation. So much for those words on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired your poor..."
Every single person in this administration lacks any human empathy or decency. They all need to go!!!
Sorry, rant over!

(1,201 posts)Most of us disapprove of everything being done now proving our soul is intact. Only a minority is causing all this crap...only a few...but they are powerful

(5,122 posts)A third of our citizens support do approve of this. A third oppose it. And, a third do not pay attention.
This is why we fought WWII. The war to end all wars.
So this would never happen again.
But, it is.
Yes, we are losing it.

(153,141 posts)the logical conclusion would be it would put people, including children, in harm's way ......don't forget, in Texas the law enforcement came out against Abbott's "Bathroom Bill" which they knew to be fucked up and a waste of time

Invade us? Well, that' might not be such a bad idea..
kerry-is-my-prez
(8,133 posts)bumper-to-bumper evacuating and they're going to create bottle-necks? This will really backfire among Texans. If there are any deaths tied to this, it will make Katrina look like a water park ride. Especially if it happens to the "reddist of the red" states. During Hurricane Rita, people were backed up and stuck in their cars during the storm. Most would have been safer at home.
