It does matter. He did not want to be a citizen here, so let him not be a citizen. He went to war with civilization and now wants something different than the normal procedure for release from custody because everyone wants him dead, likely including his former compatriots.

Sorry. On this I will accept any legal decisions, but having spent a few years fighting these extremist fucks, my judgement may be clouded. This is an area is see in black and white only.

It's like this: it matters what our government does to people, foreign or domestic, on our behalf. Look at that ruling from yesterday that found illegal aliens have due process rights. I'm not trying to rile you or anyone, but if we forget who we are then we're really fucked.

I get that. I do. This is my baggage.

That could bring down Trump's administration, and his position with it. I don't think he's that brave, if that's the right word for it.

Kelly says they're separating kids from the parents as a deterrent to others planning to cross the border. How are these others supposed to know about this deterrent? Are they reading about all these family separations on their Iphones while they're waiting for the coyote to take them across the border?

He really does see child torture as the way to force the issue.

I suspect he just sees it as a way to hurt brown children. I am not convinced that because some of his actions lead to evil, that he necessarily understands that and is planning ahead.

Sessions might be doing that.

At this point, I wonder if they're starting to think that their "shithole" countries aren't that bad after all.

Ermahgerd! I tried to renew my certification and discovered that my name was attached to someone else with my same name, (there are fifteen of us that share the same name) and I was given access to ALL her info, including her DOB and Social!

My son said that Texas was taking up to nine weeks to issue profession licenses. So, if you are a social worker, and you get hired by an agency, you can't legally bill medicaid, for example. Or cut hair, or do nails or perform brain surgery or, what my son is trained to do, loan money for homes.

Why can't they just hire more people????

Sessions is not that brave.

As for bringing down the administration, I now have doubts. Trump and the Republicans are slow rolling a coup against the rule of law.
