Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries

Because millions of people saw him as the face of the protest, more concerned with some condition that he apparently knew nothing about than he was with keeping a woman from getting to work to support her kids.



No, "millions of people" did not see him as the face of the protest. But you're right that he (correctly) felt that the purpose of the protest was more important than some random lady trying to get to work.

I don't care about her sob story any more than you care about the sob stories of illegal immigrants. I don't care about her at all. She can go **** herself.

The point of protests is to disrupt. I recognize that this upsets conservatives, but that's the point - you guys are awful, and upsetting you is fun.


His "cause" was yours, or the sponsors of the demonstration. I suspect that he was like many on the left who took part in it, who had no real understanding of what they were doing.

 
This is absurd.
 
Again, YOU accept that the only barrier....right now....is the willingness of the generals
No, I don't. Because I refer to the officers of the military, you haven't the ability to think beyond them. You have said, many times, that Trump will try to create a dictatorship but you obviously haven't thought about it. Why is that? Are you incapable of thinking beyond the Party line? You seem to be trying to prove it.
 
The point of protests is to disrupt
Disruption of the "system" is legitimate. Blocking freeways to prevent emergency vehicles is stupid. Blocking people who may even agree with you from getting home after a tiring day's work is stupid and may even work against your "cause." Looting small businesses is stupid and often hurts the people you claim to support. And being seen by millions as this asshole was, disrupting one mother from getting to work and mocking her for thinking that work is important - all amlost as stupid as saying that "she can go **** herself.

A point of protests is to persuade people of the rightness of your "cause:" to gain support for change. Your attitude and that of "the man bun guy" work against you.
 
When we fight! We win!
 
Yep, but what's hilarious is thinking Trump has a "strong personality."

Trump is the epitome of a weak man.
yes, he's loud and obnoxious and narcissistic, i guess that's consider "strong" here?

but even without that question, a "strong" personality is only good if the person is mature, intelligent, and competent.
none of which describe trump.

but people like him just want a "manly man" there, no matter how terrible he is I guesss.
 
Trump doesn't give a flying **** about the law; witness the dozens of lawsuits against him which he lost, his well-documented criminality, fraud, theft and race discrimination cases. That ignorant moron is a dangerous liability for America and anywhere else he infects, and the sooner he's voted out of office the better it will be for all concerned. If you believe he gives a damn about you, your fellow citizens or America in general-beyond what he can stiff you for, for his personal gain-you are being impossibly naive.

Stephen Miller took over again.

Trump also have to balance the interests of different donors. That a likely solution is continued raids but not against corporations that give big donations to Trump.



"As Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown intensifies, some of his closest allies in the private sector stand to profit from ICE raids. The US government is holding more than 48,000 people in immigration detention, with Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, saying he intends to double that figure.

Facilities run by ICE (Immigrations and Customs Enforcement) are already well beyond capacity. More than 90% of those detained are locked up in private, for-profit prisons run by two companies, GEO Group and CoreCivic, which donated millions to Trump’s reelection campaign. Internal communications from GEO identify the administration’s aggressive border policy as a key source of potential revenue growth this year.

“We stand ready to provide additional services and resources to help ICE meet its future needs,” GEO chairman George Zoley said on a corporate earnings call last autumn, a transcript of which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Later on the call, chief executive Brian Evans estimated that GEO could generate up to $400m (£295m) in revenues if ICE were to fill its thousands of empty beds. The average cost of detaining an individual migrant in a private facility ranges from $236 to $481 a day, according to data analysis by the American Immigration Council.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order reversing his predecessor’s decision to cancel all Department of Justice contracts with private prison firms."

 
Is everyone who defended Trump in this thread enjoying their TACO?
I just read he taco’d the taco and not he’s all in on full enforcement again. Appears he ran into someone else with a different opinion again. Whiplash! How great is that for our economic stability?

 
Brain damage due to multiple whiplashes?
