In reply to Truthiz1. Truth you hit it out the park here. You know as well as me white folks have been using being Christian to do all types of things and say it is in the name of God. They lynched black folk back in the day because they claim God wanted it. Been doing this for years. Being white and in power is what is important to them than anything that is really Christian. They make up their own rules to back up the wrong they do. This whole Trump movement is all about white power and keeping control. I am real glad you spoke on this.

This whole mess was just cruel. Those kids did nothing wrong but to come home and find nobody there, that had to traumatic. There has to be a better way than this Also it has to be costing the government more doing it this way too. I never want to turn on the tv and see any kids forced to hurt like this ever again and Trump laughing about it. That is not funny at all it is cruel.

LA Times:
Trump administration rules that could deny green cards to immigrants who use Medicaid, food stamps, housing vouchers or other forms of public assistance are going into effect, potentially making it more difficult for some to get legal status in the United States.
Federal law already requires those seeking green cards and legal status to prove they will not be a burden to the U.S., or what’s called a “public charge,” but the new rules, made public Monday, detail a broader range of programs that could disqualify them.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers will now weigh public assistance along with other factors such as education, household income and health to determine whether to grant legal status.

Much of President Trump’s effort to crack down on illegal immigration has been in the spotlight, but the rule change is one of the most aggressive efforts to restrict legal immigration. It’s part of a push to move the U.S. to a system that focuses on immigrants’ skills instead of emphasizing the reunification of families, as it has done.

So I’ve got to talk about Trump voters, especially (mostly white) so-called “Christians” who even now continue to support such a despicable creature.

They seem to have No shame. The cognitive dissonance among such folk is as clear as can be. They know who and what Trump is but their NEED to retain white dominance over all “Others” is paramount to their very own existence. So the Christian faith they claim to espouse? and the country they claim to love? Such claims seem mighty disingenuous at best.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say ti again. Trump voters know he’s lying about delivering America back to them but they NEED to believe his BS because they’ve got nothing else to hang onto. They hate what they fear. One political reporter describes it as “an authoritarian fear of difference.”

And what they FEAR the most right now is The Future. Scapegoating all “Others” for their own individual Failures in life is much easier for them than accepting the truth.

Like Trump, they simply cannot handle the Truth …..and Facts are meaningless.

(Sigh!) I watched these poor children as the news broke and my heart sank. In an instant their young and innocent world turned into a living nightmare. Many, if not most of them will indeed suffer some degree of irreparable trauma the rest of their lives.

The fact that their parents -NON-violent hard-working people – toiling away in food-processing plants where no doubt they worked long hours for very low pay -were dragged off in handcuffs while the EMPLOYERS/the OWNERS of those plants went UNtouched!?! It’s BEYOND reprehensible. It’s Evil. Pure. Evil.

America will be a long time -DECADES -in getting the stench and stain of this grotesque behaving creature (and administration) off of Us. History must NEVER let us forget it.
