    And you oppose legal family ties migration, birth citizenship to brown children, and restrictions from non English speaking countries. All currently legal.

    I call bullshit. Re-read those numbers and see what sticks out like a sore thumb.

  6. Yup. And this is the proper and inevitable response by ICE/the Justice Department to all this sanctuary city bullfeathers. ICE should- as discussed in the past and now has- simply assign more ICE agents and deportations to sanctuary cities, such that the message goes out that if you are an illegal you are at GREATER risk of being deported in sanctuary city.

    Best defense is a good offense.

    Kudos to the savage who is the director of ICE.

    Similarly farkle-face there the attorney general in Clownafornia thinks he can threaten employers for cooperating but instead he just puts decent employers in a situation where ICE will need to conduct more raids to get the information that they might have gotten through cooperation.

    Chuck Schumer And Friends Are About To Shut Down The Government, And That’s Okay

    Sometimes it’s tricky to assign blame on shutdowns. Maybe one side wants $4.2 trillion and the other side wants $3.8 trillion, and so it’s just a stalemate. But when one side wants to add non-appropriations to a measure and the other side rejects those, it seems the side demanding the policy riders fairly gets the blame. This is why Ted Cruz got the blame for the 2013 shutdown: his “defund Obamacare” measure was legislative in nature, and not merely appropriations.

    In this case, the DACA folks are the ones demanding a non-appropriations measure be tacked onto an appropriations bill. They’re using the threat of a shutdown as the lever by which to achieve their policy goals.

    The thing is, they could, next week, perhaps use immigration policy as a lever by which to get a DACA fix. Say, build a wall and make a plan to end chain migration. But they’ve decided if they are going to pay a price for DACA, they’d rather it be shutting down the government.
