Because this is, at heart, a story about
people. People who tried to enter the country illegally, yes. But
people nonetheless. And what the President of the United States wanted
to do to these human beings was turn them, literally speaking, into
political pawns. Ship them somewhere so that they could, maybe,
accomplish a political goal of his -- and, if not that, then just make
things more uncomfortable for his political opponents.
Sit
with that for a minute. And then remember that this is the same
administration that instituted a zero-tolerance policy at the border
that led to mass separations of families -- including very young
children. And seemingly had no set policy on how to track where the kids
went after they were separated from their parents or any real clue on
how to reunite them once Trump called for an end to the policy. And has
proposed closing the border entirely to keep any immigrants from coming
in. And has declared a national emergency -- and thereby diverted funds
appropriated for other purposes -- in order to build a wall that even
immigration hard-liners do not believe is the solution. All after the
President blasted immigrants coming to America from "sh--hole countries" and asked why the US wasn't getting more immigrants from countries like Norway.
it is beyond my comprehension how this stupid fuck is still in office. and further, that any human being supports this miscreant.
