Immigration Bans… Making America Whiter; Trump Attacks

By the way, thanks goes to all of the many cities/towns that are standing up against these evil and cruel immigration bans and etc. with any form of resistance. 
Of course, Trump is not taking resistance kindly; I’m surprised he hasn’t done something already. I honestly do not understand why Trump is still in office but that’s an article for another time. 
Below is an article on what Trump is doing to try and punish any area where moral is shown by behaving-in this instance, on this topic– humane and moral. Finally.

I must note here, I understand none of the states are perfect. For example, the state of Cali alone is guilty of immoral behavior regarding police brutality, racism, “three strikes you’re out” law, capital punishment, prison, etc. And no, other states aren’t much better in those areas. But anyone helping the people Trump is hunting deserves at least some positive attention for their attempts. 

On the contrary we have Texas. Instead of showing humane resistance of protection; Texas has many counties petitioning to have more immigration officials come down and shatter homes and rip families apart by labeling them illegal. Absolutely disgusting. Not the Texas really known for being progressive


 

Taking a country back to its origins and claiming them great. That is what Trump claims he is doing?… Sure that is what he’s trying to do. And if your white American you’re probably unaware of what that means. So let’s think about it really fast.

America; the great country or, used to be great… 

It was great during slavery, when taking it from the natives, maintaining that women are inferior, having the white audacity to deny true history, create false history in its place, deem oneself superior to others, Etc… Sure. That’s what we all want to go back to.

Wrong. Wrong if you’re not a racist, white male. Wrong if you’re not completely brainwashed.  

The little progress of this country has made he is reversing. Make America great again is to make America white again. And it is sadly clear that there are too many who- for some reason- think this is a good thing….??? Either that or they’re too brainwashed to understand and see this for what it really is…which is really tragic & disgrace to anyone who has any form of moral, a heart or even the most basic of standards.
If you really want to make America great again you’ll be fighting against the corruption that Trump is putting in place or attempting to put in place. So, I have  gratitude for the small things that any one may be doing as they stand up against the cruelty of Trump and his sort. 

***article begins***

The U.S. Department of Justice threatened on Friday to cut some funding to California as well as eight cities and counties across the United States, escalating a Trump administration crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
President Donald Trump has vowed to strip federal funds from dozens of state and local governments that do not fully cooperate with U.S. immigration agents, arguing they endanger public safety when they decline to hand over for deportation illegal immigrants who are arrested for crimes. 

“Sanctuary cities” in general offer safe harbor to illegal immigrants and often do not use municipal funds or resources to advance the enforcement of federal immigration laws. 

Many of these localities say they do not have the funding or space to hold immigrants until federal agents can take custody of them.  

Those threatened were: the state of California; New York City; Chicago; Philadelphia; Clark County, Nevada; New Orleans; Miami-Dade County, Florida; and Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Cook County, Illinois, also received a warning, even though it did not get money from the Justice Department last year.

The jurisdictions have until June 30 to provide evidence to the federal government that they are not violating any laws…

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: Legal Resource for “Illegal” Immigrants & Facts on “Illegal” Immigration

As we watch America too quickly descending backwards in both progress and 5c3784d0a0e4e44a463c9aa51af4f684morality under the tyranny of Trump/Pence, we must never forget the turmoil of those being thrown out of America. Too many Hispanic people live in fear night and day of being harassed, arrested or deported, and too many people -based on those I personally know- are aware of the legal rights they have,  “illegal” or not. Thus, I am posting a link for all people facing threat of arrest, detainment or deportation under the new, sickening tyrant rule of Trump/Pence.

The following link(s), which directs you to a section of the National Immigration Law Center, is a PDF file giving the rights each individual holds when it comes to questioning, detainment or deportation. It also refers people to a link where you can ensure loved ones know your location, stating:

  • Make sure your loved ones know how to find you if you are detained by ICE. They can use ICE’s online detainee locator (https://locator.ice.gov/odls/homePage.do) to find an adult who is in immigration custody. Or they can call the local ICE office (https://www.ice.gov/contact/ero). Make sure they have your alien registration number written down, if you have one.

Additionally, because one of these rights is the right to not speak, there is a card to print out and carry with you in the event an officer attempts to question or arrest you. Some of which has been copied and pasted below:

Hand this card to the officer, and remain silent.

The card explains that you are exercising your right to refuse to answer any questions until you have talked with a lawyer.

Please be informed that I am choosing to exercise my right to remain silent and my right to refuse to answer your questions. If I am detained, I request to contact an attorney immediately. I am also exercising my right to refuse to sign anything until I consult with my attorney. Thank you.

While this may not be enough or even offer much for anyone living in fear, I hope if you’ve found this it will offer at least a tiny bit of comfort. Click here for the link.

Now for a word to those who think they they are justified in supporting Trump’s racist, inhumane attack on ‘illegal’ immigrants (are none of you aware that if you are of European descent you, too, are an immigrant- this country was invaded by immigrants). Let’s go over a summary of you cruel beliefs and lies, as well as what the truth to those lies regarding “illegal” immigrants really are.no immigration ban.png

If you believe in the deportation and illegal immigration that is going on, you support the following facts as well. To do so and not be bothered is not only heartless but also shows your privilege -which most of you deny-, your false feelings of superiority, your ignorance (or most likely your stupidity), and your inhumane depravity.

Supporting immigration bans and deportations means you are supporting the following… From words to actions…all of it is a disgrace to humanity.

First, starting with labels… To define human beings as legal or illegal is sick enough in my opinion, but to then support and also be okay with their detainment and deportation despite what it means to their safety or their very lives?  

Oh and let’s not forget the fact that you also are supporting ripping people from their mothers, fathers, grandparents, wives, husbands, their children. And the impact on these people, including the innocent children, never strikes your alleged pro-life beliefs of being savage or gods forbid, wrong.

People are suffering in numbers virtually uncountable; in ways most people cannot even conceive. The fear they face even just sending their children to school or going to work no one can understand unless they are living it which you obviously are not being a supporter.

Worse yet, the very arrest and detainment process in itself is not even done to the standard being considered creditable, much less considerate or humane. Trump officials have been caught in the illegal act of “bullying” police departments into doing work ICE “legally” cannot do, such as entering a person’s residence without a warrant. Some police departments surprisingly have brought these attempts to national attention and declined taking part in their actions publicly, but not all have been so kind.

We can see more cruelty in the arrest and detainment process by looking at just one story of a woman in Texas. This proves no place is safe, not even medical care is taken into consideration, nor does safety come even after a person has been admitted to a hospital. They made this last month when ICE invaded the hospital room of a woman with a brain tumor, tying her ankles and wrists before dragging her to a ‘detention center’, cutting off her ability to contact the outside world -this included doctors and family.

All of this from self righteous “people” who support this for one of the following (emphasized by Trump’s lies)…

…immigrants from China and Vietnam and India more broadly, Trump in April of this year said our “jobs are being stolen … like candy from a baby.” In August 2015, Rasmussen—a conservative-leaning polling groupfound that 51% of respondents believe “illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from U.S. citizens.”

Research has found the reality of “illegal immigrants”“illegal immigrants” in America to be the exact opposite of Trump’s claims. This is but a small portion of many studies you can easily locate for yourself by some easy research.

Immigrant workers are actively lured to the United States largely by big business employers who don’t want to pay decent wages. But American families also rely on cheap goods and services to maintain a sense of material status. Also, after decades of wage stagnation where we’re all working more and more hours to make ends meet, U.S.-born workers rely on low-wage nannies and housekeepers and other service workers to pick up the slack of family life. According to data cited by the Wall Street Journal, every 1 new immigrant creates 1.2 new jobs for local workers. 

Also,

“…considering that comprehensive immigration reform—legislation both parties once supported—would boost employment, investment and productivity and grow the tax base, the jobs case against undocumented immigrants is increasingly hard to make.”

Next, somehow these people have began to claim –incorrectly– immigrants are a drain to public benefits. Trump, like most anti’s, depend only on fake, fabricated or deceptive facts known as alternative facts; never do they have a respectable source to cite.

As Time so accurately puts it:

Citing a study by an anti-immigrant organization, Trump said: “illegal immigrant households receive far more in welfare benefits” than native citizens.That assertion has been disputed by the conservative Cato Institute, which actually found that they are less likely to use welfare benefits than citizens—both in terms of frequency and dollar amount.

How can that statement ever be true when it has been made illegal for undocumented immigrants to obtain public benefits. They do not qualify for food stamps, Medicaid or any of the other public benefits despite the fact that they pay approximately  $13 billion in payroll taxes annually (that’s a net gain, by the way).

They help to fund the public benefits they cannot receive yet the very same people complaining about this false issue could or can or even do receive public benefits of all sort.

To take it one step further, if people took a look at the 1996 welfare law, they would learn that not even legal immigrants don’t have access to public benefits until they’ve been in America for more than five years.

As for Social Security, Trump and his deceitful supporters would have us believe that illegal immigrants also don’t pay money towards these benefits but take advantage of it, nevertheless.

The reality is very different.

Illegal immigrants, again, are not even eligible to collect Social Security (SSA) benefits. Despite that, they still are responsible for paying $100 billion in Social Security. According to a statement by the SSA to CNNMoney regarding illegal immigrants and social security benefits:

“They are paying an estimated $15 billion a year into Social Security with no intention of ever collecting benefits,” Stephen Goss, chief actuary of the SSA told CNNMoney. “Without the estimated 3.1 million undocumented immigrants paying into the system, Social Security would have entered persistent shortfall of tax revenue to cover payouts starting in 2009,” he said. 

Stephen Goss went on to say how vital these workers are in maintaining as well as improving, quote,

“…the effects of the decline in U.S.-born workers paying into the system.”

FURTHER, the Social Security Board of Trustees projects  by 2037 that the system won’t any longer be able to pay rightful benefits promised to “American citizens”.

These allegations of “illegal” immigrants being the reason for unemployment, accusing them of stealing, abusing or whatever other hateful alternative “facts” can be verified if people are willing to do some research and reading. I’ve addressed a few above, but for more facts or simple information, don’t use your same biased resources but instead use an independent resource so you can become aware of
what you are saying, before you speak.

I hope those of you who were unaware will now head off to research the real facts, not the racist, biased ones planted in their minds via Fox News or Donald Trump.

With too many people and families in America facing –unrightfully so,- being ripped apart from their families, taken back to a violent or dangerous situation or country, just to name a few circumstances going on now with the “bans” and raids on people for no reason, I’d think knowing what you believe and support as your politics would be made the ever more important, for those who care for the consideration and care of other human lives.

Think Immigration Won’t Impact You Because You’re ‘LEGAL’?

“The simple statistic that 35 percent of our current farm labor force is made up of unauthorized workers points to a massive ripple effect in our agricultural economy and all that it touches (read: everything) were all those workers to magically disappear. But that’s the fairy-tale vision of the elimination of unauthorized labor. The reality is far messier, far more immediate, and far wider-reaching. Both authorized and unauthorized workers are affected by increasingly hostile federal attitudes to their labor…” – This information and documentation continues below, after a quick thought.

So, if you don’t think Trump and the immigration/refugee attack is important or that it will have no impact on you, your family or your life? Might want to rethink that after you read the following facts, with proof and back up evidence. The facts follow this little introduction of mine.
NOTE- I’m posting this as a side note; it is my belief it is the lives that matter most and should be of our utmost concern and importance. But in attempt to reach anyone inactive that may need “a little bit more” to care, and for those whom already care and simply seek information to add on to the reasons why the latest immigration policy -which is just as inhumane as his first- is a disgrace and threat to humanity.
Read about the posing terrorist threat to human life deemed “illegal” by clicking here.

Virtually all of the newly open agriculture jobs will pay poverty-line wages, and they won’t be opening up in the areas of the country where unemployment is the highest, as Alabama has proven. Unfortunately for anyone worried that unauthorized laborers are taking jobs away from citizens, that means that these open positions are unlikely to be filled — at least, not by currently unemployed American citizens. Otherwise, maybe Trump’s own winery wouldn’t have needed to request temporary worker visas for its employees.

In fact, it’s likely that Trump’s anti-immigration policies will result in even more jobs disappearing: As Kathleen Merrigan, executive director of sustainability at George Washington University and a former Deputy Secretary of Agriculture under Obama, told Eater’s Dana Hatic,

“Farmers, particularly those working in specialty crops, have already moved some of their operations outside of the country because they can’t find adequate labor.” Dave Runsten, policy director for the Community Alliance with Family Farmers, explained to Hatic that the effect of Trump’s immigration decisions will accelerate that process: “As wages go up and the availability of labor goes down … The largest farms will mechanize or move to Mexico or” — as at Trump Winery — “get Trump to let them import guest workers.”

Few more of my thoughts…

The American government of the “free world”… offering another look at what a true hypocritical country should be. America. Where we started out with vicious and sadistic abuse on the Natives and Africans and countless other nationalities by enslaving, following up with prejudice hate for anyone with Black or “dark” skin via further slavery under new names which are in effect to this very day via the police and prison industry (and school system but that’s for another time) and those are just a few examples of the continued racism which goes back centuries to the beginning of this country, and now includes anyone who do not hold a status of being truly “American”.

Yep, the good ol’ American government continues its legacy more blatantly and proud than it has in hundreds of years. This is just the beginning. When Trump said make Amerikkka great “again” he meant make it white and lazy again, but do it with a smile and pride for the other countries to see; screw hiding racism and prejudice behavior!
As this continues to progress from immigrants to citizens who are not white and/or rich, the more action you take now, the better chance we have of reversing and hopefully going down a NEW path for the first time in American HISTORY.

 

Immigration Bans: HOW DOES THAT HELP “TERRORISM”-Soldier’s Reply After Me =)

Right this rant below is not well written and I have no time to edit it so, it started as a facebook rant for a link regarding what soldiers are saying about bans on immigration and Trump and it led me to this. check out the link at the end for the article I speak of. Bare with my typing…didn’t think I’d write so much or post it— at first lol.
*****begin!
*
ok this was originally at the bottom of my post but puttin it first. this is how america and trump and his illegal bans on an illegal war do nothing for the ‘created’ or “real” terrorist threats -if you buy that term. SO AMERICA i got questions and thoughts…. We entered this war illegally.

EVERY1 SHOULD READ AN AMAZING BOOK BY A VERY SUCCESSFUL LAWYER CALLED ***** THE _ PROSECUTION _ OF GEORGE W BUSH. This brilliant and respected lawyer takes bush to court and breaks down each crime HIM ON HIS OWN not including others involved, have done since 2003. SO we admit it was wrong yet still we are doing this. $$$$$$$

and…. what then of, ya know, the Geneva Convention ? OHHHH i forgot!!!…… ahem,

well you know america can change it’s mind when it is fit so… well, here is quote i found easily, but sums up things well for AMERICA:
“The United States signed the 1977 Protocols, but Congress refused to ratify them. Recent interest in the Geneva Convention has been sparked by the treatment of Taliban and Al Qaeda prisoners of war held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.”
oh america is above that i forgot. silly me.
SO IN SUM, AMERICA IS NOT ONLY SUPPOSED TO HATE ALL IMMIGRANTS AND MUSLIMS, we also much VIEW EVERY SINGLE PERSON OR THE MAJORITY A TERRORIST THREAT,
AND,
BAN EM! BAN EVERYONE NOT AMERRRRICAN! *eye roll*
Next….
AHHH… America…. the land where, we (we= corp & usa government) are not only allowed to illegally wage war and continue doing so after the facts, due to fear they’ve created in brainwashed minds, but WE ALSO ARE SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT THE CONTINUED INVASION AND RAPE OF OTHER COUNTRIES, CONTINUED DEATH OF OUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, ETC WHO STUPIDLY WENT TO FIGHT FOR THE GOVERNMENT NOT KNOWING,
… but no matter… be happy america. and do it while you blindly CHEER THE GOV ON BC, YA KNO, IT’S ALL ABOUT AMERIKKKAN SAFETY!
*Check out the below article for more on that from the soldiers over there and their thoughts on trump telling u he is to ban immigration to protect you. lol. ugh
PEOPLE OF AMERICA and THE WORLD! HEAR NOW THE GOVERNMENT OF THE US of A when we SAY TO YOU! FEAR NOT!
You MUST remember this part now…!!!!!!!!!!!!! …. WE ARE FRIENDS. WE ONLY COME TO YOU BECAUSE WE CARE AND, YA KNO, AMERICA LIBERATES!
does it? america destroys. america lies.
IF america said to me,
“here, miss makaveli, let us help liberate you from the hell you live in. We care.”
i’d then relpy with
“fuck off you only mean to kill me in a torturous way and then blame it on me – that’s not liberating.”
america, this is not liberating what you are doing to the rest of the world, even if we leave the bans out, with the bans we just create a worse world but prior them, it was still horrible thanks to the good ol’ usa
are you listening?! AMERICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
you should hate anyone not american and white! HEAR WHAT WE SAYING , THIS NOT CORRUPT OR RACIST OR GREEDY LEADERS AS WE ARE KNOWN!? hate anyone who is not white. especially if it’s not a man.
…fuck that. not even going to be sarcastic here as i hate this so much.
america!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, now…
on top of all that, we should ban any one from coming into our great nation (LOL) to protect america and american jobs! YOU AINT BEING VURY PATREEEOTIC (um spelled like they would spell it for the slow) IF YOU DISAGREES!
ummmm HAS NE ONE BEEN READING OR DOING ANY INDEPENDENT RESEARCH? because….
actually, tons of research has proven (oh no , reader , don’t run because i have facts!!!??) illegal immigration does not steal jobs ‘american blooded people’ could have. get over it and stop lying.
and in response to this, immigration bans will protect america….
ummmm … well i’ll let the solider and the rest of this post answer tht.
i believe the war is a product of the government and greed (who is more greedy than trump… u gotta be greedy to get that successful $$$ wise, as 2pac said…step on ppl, crush em, now everyone, stay away… “that’s how you get rich. and of course mi father was right.

take a literal minute, and listen to what tupac said, if you are confident we are not correct in what we say against trump being a loving, selfless person; if you don’t think he puts money over people… no. you can’t do this and be selfless:

i hope you ppl listened 2 all he said after as well regarding amerikkka and how they treat the souls who built this country for them. tupac speaks truth; that is why the fbi has over 20,000 documents (but only send a few hundred even if you pay, which i have)… that is why he was murdered with the fbi as the root.it’s proven – but whatever.
anyway so i think these ppl are ALL dying for a fear fed lie and nothing more. so i think what they think should matter about trump and immigration and ‘terrorism’; the word invented to begin fear tactics as terrorism’s gone on daily for COUNTLESS non-whites for centuries 😐 just being real. SO…. in my own words as one solider says, in my own words… yea… he got elected. life goes on. he has done fuck all and will continue to do fuck all for “terrorism” and protecting amerikkka.
banning immigrants will not help “win the war”- WHICH SHOULD BE OBVIOUS TO PPL! god when was the last time we’ve actually seen these horrific slaughter on american soil by people from any country in the middle east 😐 from any of those who you blindly and stupidly hate, when was the last time on our soil they came and slaughtered or raped or beheaded us?
right. and regarding them killing on video.
yeah they post in videos where you cant see the ‘offenders’ faces?
i’m not saying some werent real what i am saying tho is i do not believe they all were if any.
AND BESIDES, LET’S BE REAL… YES I’M GONNA GET SHIT FOR THIS BUT THAT’S WHAT TRUTH DOES… being REAL here, 1) now i do think it’s a bit much to disrespect a dead body … but who am i to judge what he did or why they did it. i wouldn’t do it but i also don’t live their lives; who am i to judge, when my country started this?
ANYWAY
are the “killers” or those in invaded lands  TRULY; and REALLY wrong in fighting BACK?
after all, america picked this fight first. AND WE KNOW if they had done this to this country would you not be a bit fucking pissed off at your family and friends being slaughtered for weapons of mass destruction as your president (sadam) is not down in the basement waging war but finishing his damn fiction book!?
im not saying he was a good dude but what about, INTERNATIONAL LAWS??? oh america is above that i forgot. silly me. AGAIN.
[DISCLAIMER ON IF THEY DID THIS TO THE STATES COMMENT ABOVE: 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB BUT IF YOU AREN’T WITH THAT let me just add…. if a country 4 the ppl, truly for the american ppl, could prevent a blood bath in war they would not have let the killer go…. who would let the murderer run away while screaming “I’LL GIVE YOU A HEAD START WHILE I CLOSE MY EYES AND COUNT TO 10!”
“OK ! BUT DON’T YOU PEAK AMERICA! NEVER GONNA GET MEEEE!” 😐
no. what the REALITY is, is that the war was to create a fake cause to invade and make money. We could have prevented war if what they claim was true.
How? um, here is ONE example…
the cia funded ossama and all his family were the ONLY ones to be allowed to fly anywhere in america, on 9/11, the ONLY ones. if we kept them -since they knew who it was and all- to PREVENT war, and death, would not the first step be to detain them? UGH.
