Open Thread | Back to Immigration and This Administration😠😠😠

Posted on October 21, 2019 by rikyrah

This is recurring subject here at 3CHICS.

We told you when he was running what he was planning to do with regards to immigration.

We told you that the ‘ it’s only about CRIMINAL ILLEGALS’ was absolute and utter bullshyt, because we knew who his ‘ advisers’ were on the topic of immigration, and their long history of racist policy papers that they had put forth.
So, when Dolt45 gets into office, and we start seeing all these nightmare stories…

Stories about following the undocumented into court and picking them up.

Stories about raiding places of worship as soon as services were finished.

Stories about people who would go in for their regular check-in with ICE AND NEVER COME HOME.

Stories about people who might have had a skirmish with the law – A DECADE OR TWO AGO, never been in any serious trouble didn’t do anything violent, BEING PICKED UP BY ICE.

Stories about the border patrol GETTING ON GREYHOUND BUSES AND HARRASSING PEOPLE about their ‘ papers’.

Stories about same sex couples being told that the children that they have adopted won’t be granted citizenship.

Stories about this country reneging the promise of a pathway to citizenship for those who choose TO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE AND SERVE IN THE MILITARY.

Stories about them attempting to kick out sick immigrants with a 30 day notice.

We have had ALL of this.

So, this story didn’t surprise me in the least.

From The American Prospect:
The New War on Naturalized Citizens
The Trump administration is seeking to denaturalize and deport longtime U.S. citizens, seizing on tiny mistakes in the process and putting the status of every naturalized citizen at potential risk.
BY AMANDA FROST

OCTOBER 15, 2019

Any day now, a federal judge in Florida will decide whether Parvez Manzoor Khan can remain a U.S. citizen.

Khan, a 62-year-old truck driver from Branford, Florida, is one of the first people brought to trial under Operation Janus and Operation Second Look, the Trump administration’s mass denaturalization campaign. If the judge rules against him, Khan will likely be deported away from his U.S. citizen wife and son, and barred forever from living in the United States—his only home for the last 27 years. The ruling will further destabilize the status of America’s 20 million naturalized citizens, each of whom is at risk for being investigated and then targeted over flaws in their naturalization process.

The denaturalization campaign that led to Khan’s trial can be traced back to the Obama administration. In 2016, the government announced that it had failed to digitize 315,000 fingerprint records, and as a result had granted citizenship to 858 individuals without realizing they had been ordered deported under another identity. But the Obama administration pursued denaturalization cautiously, recognizing that some cases were simply a matter of a misspelled name or misdirected paperwork, and others involved long-standing members of the community who posed no risk to national security.

In exercising restraint, the Obama administration was following a half-century tradition in which both Republican and Democratic administrations avoided denaturalization in all but the most extreme cases. Between 1990 and 2016, the government denaturalized an average of only 11 people a year, some years none. Most were serious war criminals who had lied about their human-rights offenses to gain American citizenship.

Once President Trump took office, however, the gloves came off. The government recently announced it will be investigating 700,000 naturalized citizens, and it is sparing no expense. To staff the effort, the government has opened a new office in Los Angeles and is in the process of hiring 300 special agents and 212 support personnel to investigate denaturalization as well as immigration benefits fraud, at a cost of $207.6 million.
………………………………

 

By statute, citizenship obtained through naturalization can be revoked not only for fraud, but also in cases in which the individual, or even the government, makes an inadvertent error in the naturalization process. There is no statute of limitations in civil denaturalization cases, meaning that the government can take away citizenship decades after a person thought himself to be permanently an American. Nor does it matter if, like Khan, the individual has built an exemplary life in the United States, or that deportation would cause great hardship to U.S. citizen family members.

But these facts should matter to the government when choosing whom to target for denaturalization. Under a Department of Justice policy in place for many decades, denaturalization proceedings should not be brought against those who have been citizens for decades, have close ties to U.S. citizens, and have no criminal record—that is, men and women like Parvez Khan.

The government has provided no reason for abandoning that policy now. Timothy Belsan is chief of the National Security and Affirmative Litigation Unit at the Office of Immigration Litigation for the U.S. Department of Justice and one of the lawyers prosecuting Khan. But he refused to answer when asked why the government targeted Khan for denaturalization, referring the question to a government spokeswoman who then failed to respond to an emailed inquiry.

…………………………

Take, for example, Baljinder Singh, an immigrant from India who is also among the first targets of Operation Janus . Singh has lived in the United States for 26 years, 12 of those as a U.S. citizen. Like Khan, he married an American, has no criminal record, and followed all the required legal steps to gain his citizenship. But after the government scoured its newly digitized fingerprint records, it discovered that a few months after Singh arrived in the United States as a teenager he was ordered deported under the name Davinder Singh—a misspelling of his first name that was more likely a typo or an interpreter’s error than an effort to commit fraud. As with Khan, the government’s own records suggest Singh never knew about the proceedings against him under a different name, and so never had a chance to clear up what may have been nothing more than a clerical error. Nonetheless, Singh was denaturalized last year.

As Singh’s and Khan’s cases show, all naturalized citizens are now at risk for having their status questioned, regardless of how long they have been citizens or how minuscule the error in the naturalization process. As in the past, the government appears to be using this broad power over naturalized citizens to target those it disfavors. Can it be coincidence that the first three civil cases filed under Operation Janus are all against people of color, and all from countries with a significant Muslim population—a group that President Trump has long disparaged?

I don’t mean to be a smartass..But, I check the approval ratings of Latinos for Dolt45. He gets close to 30% approval. I’m gonna be blunt…do they think that they are ‘special’? I got news for them – for those who are recent citizens…who’ll be the first ones to step up and talk about ‘ coming to this country THE RIGHT WAY’….they’d take away your citizenship without blinking, Dear. You better wake up.

    Black Twitter Demands Answers After Rolling Stone’s Colonized List of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time Resurfaces

    Jay Connor
    An hour ago

    I’m completely aware that opinions are subjective, but on Monday, Rolling Stone upset the entire balance of the universe all over again when its 2008 list of the “100 Greatest Singers of All Time” resurfaced to torment us all.

    And no, “torment” is not hyperbole—because we live in a world in which Patti Labelle, the same woman who literally kicks her shoes off to deliver searing renditions of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” or “You Are My Friend,” is somehow only the 95th greatest singer to have ever lived.

    Oh, and it gets worse: while luminaries such as Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and Marvin Gaye received their just due among the Top 10, Mariah Carey—who in a past life casually disrespected the 7th octave by doing shit like this—came in at 79, Luther Vandross and his velvet tenor was 54, and Whitney fucking Houston was 34.

    And just who among these legendary voices does Rolling Stone claim is superior? Those would be artists like Neil Young, Iggy Pop, and Bob Dylan—all noteworthy songwriters in their own right, but better singers? Are you high?

    And you wonder why we have high blood pressure.

    Abandoning summit scheme, Trump presents himself as a victim
    10/21/19 08:00 AM—UPDATED 10/21/19 08:59 AM
    By Steve Benen

    Four days ago, the White House announced that one of Donald Trump’s struggling business would host next year’s G7 summit, creating a legal and political mess. The Constitution prevents U.S. officials from receiving foreign payments, but under this scheme, world leaders who wished to participate in a key international gathering would have no choice but to spend foreign funds at the American president’s golf club in Doral, Florida.

    Two days later, Trump announced via Twitter that he’d abandoned the plan.

    “I thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders. It is big, grand, on hundreds of acres, next to MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, has tremendous ballrooms & meeting rooms, and each delegation would have its own 50 to 70 unit building. Would set up better than other alternatives.

    “I announced that I would be willing to do it at NO PROFIT or, if legally permissible, at ZERO COST to the USA. But, as usual, the Hostile Media & their Democrat Partners went CRAZY!

    “Therefore, based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!”

    There are, not surprisingly, all kinds of problems with the presidential message. Note, for example, that by Trump’s version of events, he was personally involved in the alleged corruption. He also used a series of first-person pronouns that suggested the president sees little difference between himself and his private-sector enterprise.

      I know this is true. When I-75 was built in Middle GA, it split our neighborhood into two parts. Things were never the same. Neighbors whose homes we’d been able to walk to now required we use a detour. Cars also had to detour around the interstate highway. The areas most affected by I-75’s construction were black neighborhoods.

    Already in a ditch, Mick Mulvaney finds a shovel, digs deeper
    10/21/19 08:40 AM—UPDATED 10/21/19 08:52 AM
    By Steve Benen

    On Thursday afternoon, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney appeared before reporters and acknowledged, among other things, the existence of a quid pro quo with Ukraine. The man in charge of running Donald Trump’s West Wing offered what was effectively a very public confession: the U.S. administration withheld vital military aid to a vulnerable ally, he explained, using it as leverage to convince a foreign country to participate in a political scheme for Donald Trump.

    “Get over it,” the South Carolina Republican declared after acknowledging White House wrongdoing.

    A day later, a GOP congressional leadership aide told Politico, “Mulvaney needs to learn when to stop talking.” That was a sensible observation, which the acting chief of staff ignored.

    Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney insisted Sunday that he did not say that President Donald Trump held up military aid for Ukraine for political purposes — despite acknowledging the issue at the heart of House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry during a televised press conference.

    “I’m flinching because that’s what people are saying that I said, but I didn’t say that,” Mulvaney told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace of the comments he made – and then walked back in a contradictory statement – Thursday.

    I’m not sure why Mulvaney thought it’d be a good idea to sit down with Fox News’ Chris Wallace, but whatever his reasoning, the president’s chief of staff was mistaken. Mulvaney was reduced to repeatedly complaining about being quoted accurately.

    Tulsi Gabbard’s “crisis” consultant worked for lawyer who offered Trump Jr. Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton.

    Late last week, Hawaii Congresswoman and candidate running in the Democratic primary Tulsi Gabbard’s meltdown at Hillary Clinton hinting that “a Democratic primary candidate” was being groomed by the GOP and promoted by Russian trolls and propaganda outlets that one would think she doth protest too much. I observed at the time of the initial Gabbard meltdown that the legitimate winner of the 2016 presidential election no longer has any fucks left to give and all the truth in the world to tell as her spokesperson lit up Gabbard’s dumpster fire, saying “if the nesting doll fits.”

    I also observed at the time that Hillary Clinton was not revealing some great secret as the public record contained a wealth of evidence supporting her charge. Among these:

    Tulsi Gabbard’s budding friendship with Putin’s puppet Syrian dictator Bashaar Al-Assad – which started with Gabbard taking a secret trip with a terrorist organization to meet her new bestie,

    Russian bot and propaganda outlets that invaded our 2016 elections now giving their unequivocal and full backing to Gabbard, and

    Gabbard returning the favor by insisting that American presence to protect Syrian Kurds who were the frontlines to beating ISIS was a “regime change war” and essentially backing Trump’s move to allow a Turkish invasion in the region.

    Since the initial fireworks on Friday, though, the body of evidence continues to grow that Tulsi Gabbard is in fact deeply connected to Putin and the Russians, and Gabbard herself is creating much of that evidence on the public record.

    Gabbard’s “crisis communications” consultant also worked (works?) for Russian lawyer who offered Trump Jr. dirt on Hillary Clinton.

    See, the announcement that Fahrenthold and the Miami Herald were going to team up and get the weeds and details of how this contract was awarded was out there, too. They were not going to let this drop because they are not part of the access seekers of the WHPC. And, since none of it was on the up and up, they were gonna find shyt full of lies that could get people with charges against them.😒😒

    I think it’s important to repeat that Hilary WAS NOT warning black people about Trump, she was warning white folks. We had known FOR YEARS who Trump is, so we aren’t surprised at any of this. She is TRYING to warn y’all again. Will you listen this time, or let racism win again?💯 https://twitter.com/PantherFist13/status/1185536462131027969?s=17
