Every decade since 1790, as required by the Constitution, the federal government has undertaken a painstaking census of its people, the accuracy and fairness of which serves the interests of both political parties and of every citizen. The decennial count is used to apportion seats in the House of Representatives and set the boundaries of congressional districts.
The headline of this post is a completely accurate statement. There's hardly anything else we can say but we'll include portions of the sourced articles below.
The Department of Health and Human Services is diverting millions of dollars in funding from a number of programs, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, to pay for housing for the growing population of detained immigrant children.
THEY ARE COMING FOR AMERICANS.
The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship.
Cases identified by The Washington Post and interviews with immigration attorneys suggest a dramatic shift in both passport issuance and immigration enforcement.
For example, an American citizen and Army veteran:
Get ready to hear something disgusting even for Trump's administraton. Pentagon officials are raising concerns within the Trump administration about the sharp drop in refugee admissions of Iraqis who helped the U.S. in battle.
Military officials are sounding the alarm inside the Trump administration about the sharp drop in admission to the United States of Iraqi refugees who have helped American troops in battle, said two U.S. officials aware of the internal discussions.
In our August 15, 2017 post linked HERE, we provided a primer that explained what DACA is and why it exists after President Obama's 2010 DREAM legislation was filibustered by Republicans in Senate to prevent a vote.
On Tuesday, September 5, 2017, Attorney General Jeff Sessions shut down DACA. He provided lies about these people to justify the move, offered no details of how the program could be wound down, and took no questions (because he has no answers).
Stephen Miller, an terrible person with unthinkable powers has ordered Trump to clamp down on refugee admittances and Trump has gladly obeyed. President Barack Obama previously set the ceiling on refugees admitted into the country at 110,000 while many had pushed for more. Howver in 2017, Trump slashed the limit to 45,000. Now these is discussion to push it as low as 5,000... effectively no refugees saved for humanitarian crises. America is an embarrassment.
The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration was agreed upon earlier in July 2018 by 192 countries. One was missing.
The United Nations on Friday [July 13, 2018] completed an agreement on improved ways to handle the global flow of migrants....it was boycotted by a huge and influential member, the United States.
There is so much evil being perpetrated by Republicans taking full advantage of their unchecked power. Those who have watched their actions and listened to their rhetoric for many years aren't shocked. With complete power, Republicans like Jeff Sessions are acting out their wildest dreams. The shock is primarly that millions of people support them and are either too stupid to see our nation being dismantled or too evil to care.
TREASON.
Trump has again voiced his admiration for strongmen leaders, saying North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has a “great personality” and that he could “probably get along very well” with Vladimir Putin.
Asked if he liked Kim personally, he said: “I get along with him great, yeah. He’s very smart, great personality, he’s funny and tough, good negotiator.”
