i keep thinking the same thing
leak some bullshit let the press eat it up and further discredit them
LGBT people who were scared for a second when reported that trumps going to issue that executive order all the sudden see those who reported it as misreporting it.

That the hilarious and sad part about this. Which jobs to people think these immigrants are taking that blue collar Trump voters are going to want? Are they all going to move from the northern parts of the country to the south west to take those jobs? This is insanity.
I feel like a lot of these Trump folks are just mad that these people are here making better lives for themselves while they're unhappy about where they are in life.
I do wonder if Civil War is going to happen sooner then we all think. I was originally thinking the early signs of it would start around May-Juneish. But now? I could see it happening as soon as next month at this point.
He is doing so much harm and damage to not just the US but the world around him, that people won't deal with his shit even if the government becomes powerless to stand up against Trump.
It's horrible that I'm even thinking about a Civil War happening but with how horrible the future looks, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp! cries she
With silent lips. Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

First it will be immigrants that are a "burden on the country"
Then it will be citizens that are a "burden on the country"

The mainstream reporters never picked up on the lgbt order. It's possible this is a plant, but the cyber security order leaked in full last night and we have had leaks for all the other stuff. Also we aren't even sure if a religious freedom EO isn't coming. You trust the white house that claims there is no ban
Also they literally have the complete details on this one not just some vague order is coming like the lgbt one.

”We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Frankly, they should probably stay out if they're in Europe or Asia.

Beat EviLore at pool.
How will this effect let's say Mexican workers in a restaurant?
I don't believe the White House when they say it's not coming. No one should believe them anymore.
No, anyone who is brown. They like their government help, just not for the darkies. It's pure racism.

I'm pretty sure that so far the only rumored EO that was denied was the LGBTQ one and that may have been a deliberately fake EO to ferret out the leaker.
That doesn't mean this one isn't fake too but it does line up directly with his campaign rhetoric.
They don't care. They've never cared. This is just about keeping America white.

No they want to deport undocumented people on assistance which doesnt make sense as they arent allowed to be on assistance only their kids are, so that would mean ripping families apart

I mean this sounds like California's Prop 187 mixed with Center for Immigration Studies's wishlist.
Lots of this stuff isn't gonna stand up in court (like many of these EO's)
I can't see why the Senate and GOP's are really gonna let them get in the same place that Wilson got the Cali GOP.
The implication is on guest workers and non-renewal of visas for non-permanent residents I believe.
I can't imagine they'll come up with a good enough way to get around due-process that will determine "public cost"

That was always reported as a rumor, though.
I would hope republicans would realize what was happening and step up.
I have vacation plans to the US, but I'm really not warming up to the idea of entering the US when it's becoming such a shitshow.
I mean, it's only been two weeks and people are already getting arrested, deported, and so on. By the time I go, there's no telling if they'll arrest me randomly or throw me into some black site just for having the wrong skin color. I wish I could say I'm being facetious but at this point I don't know anymore.

Considering there are a lot of reports of people refusing to follow through with court orders, who's to say that anyone would enforce a Trump impeachment?
Yup. I mean, it was a gaf thread. Didn't see it anywhere else really. I still think it's coming at some point, because I know it's what those sleazeballs want.

I'm worried about authoritarianism but lots of Western Democracies do this and they're not fascist (just anti-immigrant) see Europe's confiscation of refugee's wealth, etc.
We can oppose these things because they're immoral and go against the constitution

This is destroying everything America stood for
Or documented people who are on government assistance.
I hear you, and the existence of a draft should be incredibly concerning but it's not yet signed. I'm just wary of jumping the gun after yesterday.
To be clear, I agree with this too
Farmers are going to love this!

You think too highly of Republicans. They're largely scum and only care about themselves.

I've worked at companies that replace entire divisions with H-1B workers, so I'm fine with this bill. There is a use for the H-1B visa, but companies have abused the shit out of it.
Who in Europe deports immigrants? You're confusing immigrants with asylum seekers.
This is not even talking about illegal immigrants. It talks about immigrants in general who might need some social benefits at some point.
