Welcome to the US, kid
Stephen Miller pushed to embed agents from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at a refugee agency in a bid to target the parents of unaccompanied migrant children for deportation, a new report has revealed.
Pro tip: that’s not what refugee agencies are for.
The Washington Post reported that according to six current and former Trump administration officials, the White House sought to plant ICE agents at the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which cares for migrant children who cross the border without a parent as part of the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) Program.
Stephen Miller is another Mengele, minus the medical skills.
According to the Post, Miller has long claimed that the ORR is being exploited by parents who hire smugglers to bring their children into the U.S. illegally. Three officials familiar with Miller’s plan said it was part of his wider effort to dismantle the barriers between ICE and the refugee program.
Yes, and let’s place a lot of cops in food banks, and disguise FBI agents as caretakers in public housing, and replace public school teachers with prison guards.
Well, there has been a lot of talk about arming school teachers. It would be easier just to hire guards, who might actually have some skill in shooting.
The Trump Administration is evil. I don’t throw that word around lightly. Once we get rid of him, we need to put in safeguards to assure such a thing doesn’t happen again.
I just remembered. This reminds me of an irony I saw on a car this morning. (If your irony meter is struggling and ready to break, you might not want to read this).
The car in front of me had three bumper stickers; two of them were…interesting. One was a Trump/Pence 2020 bumper sticker. The other…I kid you not…”I brake against child abuse”.
Sorry. I heard all those irony meters break. Guess I should have known better.
Richard Mitchell (The Underground Grammarian) once wrote that having students study trigonometry would make schools safer than hiring a bunch of guards, but that our educational policy only allowed for the guards.
