they do for certain reasons, like the Blue criminal team's support for Baby killers, that would be the biggest deal breaker.

Ah yes, the great excuse Bible-thumpers always retreat to when asked why they support savage cuts to essential government services like Medicaid, SNAP, and helping starving people overseas (of which hundreds of thousands have died since Trump destroyed USAID).

By the way, this thread is about Trump's plan to round up millions of undocumented workers and deporting them because some Americans don't like them for some reason they can never quite explain. (Pssst: it's because they are racist shits. Was Jesus a racist shit?)

Was Obama's "sinking" approval numbers the reason he changed his mind on gay marriage?

Obama was 100% following the polls on gay marriage. Just as Trump is doing with immigration. The LA activists forced his hand.

I say make everyone a non-citizen

Nobody has to pay taxes, buy insurance, nobody is covered by labor laws, companies don't have to match 401K and pay PTO etc ....... as a non-citizen you get free healthcare, you don't have to pay property taxes or anything like that, don't have to have a drivers license ....

make everyone like that

Anyone with a half a brain could've predicted what would happen to ag and hospitality businesses so the moron in chief gets no credit for realizing what any moderately functioning human already knew.

Yes, he does get credit. He gets credit for reversing course.
Just admit it, the anti-Trumps will never give this president credit.
That's okay. Stay angry.

He would not have had to reverse course if he had actually thought things through.

You tell a child not to touch the hot stove.
He touches the hot stove.
Does he get credit for pulling his burned hand away?

Under Trump are also those entering the US legally fearing deportation and arrests.While Trump and his cronies can continue to hire undocumented workers.

Supreme Court allows Trump to revoke legal status for 500,000 migrants - BBC News

The ruling means 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela are at risk of being deported.

U.S. sent 238 migrants to Salvadoran mega-prison; documents indicate most have no apparent criminal records

The U.S. sent 238 Venezuelan migrants to a Salvadoran mega-prison. The Trump administration says they're all gang members, but 60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of them.

Spring break warning: Students, faculty advised to postpone international travel plans

International students are scared of losing their visas if they leave the U.S. following deportation efforts by the Trump administration.

This will lead to increased exploitation of migrant workers and downward pressure on salaries and working conditions also for American workers. While academics and highly skilled workers will stay away from the US.

The US brain drain has begun

The White House appears hell-bent on destroying not just economic and political paradigms, but a higher education system that really did make America great.

That's leaving aside France and China hiring up all the scientists we fired.

Sounds like it:

On Wednesday morning, President Trump took a call from Brooke Rollins, his secretary of agriculture, who relayed a growing sense of alarm from the heartland.​

Farmers rely on immigrants to work long hours, Ms. Rollins said. She told the president that farm groups had been warning her that their employees would stop showing up to work out of fear, potentially crippling the agricultural industry.​

Inside the West Wing, top White House officials were caught off guard — and furious at Ms. Rollins.​

​

Apparently some 40% of all crop workers are undocumented.

They were furious at the ag secretary for telling Trump how agriculture works?.....

Trump isn't actually capable of thinking things through. He decides in his mind what will happen and then bends reality to fit his "facts."

And then he fails. At everything.

Trump and his fans are incapable of listening to experts. Ms Rollins apparently CAN listen to experts, but then made the mistake of trying to pass that expert opinion along.

What?

Too hard for you to understand?

 

[SCrider]

Yes, he does get credit. He gets credit for reversing course.
Just admit it, the anti-Trumps will never give this president credit.

You give him credit for being an idiot who could not see the obvious?

As presented It seems to me like Trump didn't actually know... And, that the other staffers were mad because the truth reaching the president undercut their incredibly stupid policies.

It's surreal.

 

[StillBallin75]

OK, if this is the logic, why ****ing stop there?

 

[Variant]

Oh, there's more to the story!

You want government efficiency?

Imagine the ICE offices on Monday morning. Their whole agency had ramped up to seize undocumented non-criminal workers.

Now they are supposed to switch on a dime and return to policing the border and tracking down the tiny number of convicted criminal illegal immigrants.

The GOP's BBB bill includes funding to hire an additional 10,000 ICE employees. What will they do now?

The BBB hasn't been passed so there is time to amend it.

If this is true, it's wild how you can just turn on the news and be more educated than the "Commander in Chief."

There was never a good reason to go after hardworking folks in the first place.

It would in fact be amazing for a person to nearly reach 80 and be so ignorant AND be president of the united states because people are both stupid and mad.

That's the problem with intentionally creating an information bubble around yourself, isn't it?

 

[Variant]

You give him credit for being an idiot who could not see the obvious?

The president is apparently instructible yet vapidly ignorant and takes most of his cues from bad fox news takes.

Our poor 'conservative' spin doctors are trying to give him 'credit' for reaching his second presidency without knowing how his most central policy position actually works in reality.

The same people that will argue until they are blue in the face that courts shouldn't be instructing the president on the legality of his actions.

“First you say you will then you say you won’t…..MAGA don’t”……first we deport all the slaves and now we bring them back ? The slaveowners have power ?

 

[pragmatic]

Apparently Trump’s sinking approval numbers on immigration have convinced him that actually immigrants are fine. At least if they’re working in politically relevant industries. Or maybe the LA protestors have won a round, who knows.

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

Focusing ICE attention on undocumented criminal immigrants seems like a good thing. While addressing those people who have been in this country for years with clean police records is (and should be) a very low priority.


But the most important thing in partisan politics remains the same. "The other team sucks!!"

The President just called in the marines because ICE was hassling every brown person they could find at a home depot in LA so that they could reach artificial quotas set by Stephen Miller.
