Weird. Did someone just replace our president with a Republican doppelganger while nobody was looking?
Some headlines on my Google News feed atm:
Sanders and O'Malley have condemned the move, but Hillary so far hasn't said anything. I guess she's waiting to see which way the wind blows on this.
Well, I'll just say this: if you don't enforce your laws at all, expect them to be ignored. That goes double if you openly announce that you won't enforce them. This is probably why we had a "surge" in refugees in the first place. People notice these things and act accordingly.

US Plans Raids in New Year to Fight Surge in Border Crossings New York Times - 3 hours ago WASHINGTON — The federal government is planning a series of raids beginning in January to round up and deport hundreds of undocumented families, hoping to discourage a renewed surge in illegal border crossings but risking a firestorm in an election year when immigration is again a dominant topic. The raids in communities across the country will begin almost two years after nearly 100,000 families and tens of thousands of unaccompanied children started illegally crossing the southern border with Mexico, mostly from Central America. That surge overwhelmed detention facilities, sending most families into American cities with little more than a court summons. Many failed to appear in court on the appointed days and were ordered deported. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will fan out across the country to enforce hundreds of those orders, according to immigration officials who refused to be identified because they were not allowed to openly discuss an enforcement program that has yet to begin. When they find the families, agents will detain and immediately deport them, officials said. Plans for the raids were first reported by The Washington Post. “Our border is not open to illegal immigration, and if individuals come here illegally, do not qualify for asylum or other relief, and have final orders of removal, they will be sent back consistent with our laws and our values,” said Gillian M. Christensen, press secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE. |

Democratic Candidates Blast Obama Administration Plan To Deport Families WASHINGTON/NEW YORK, Dec 24 (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Thursday came under fire from Democratic presidential candidates and human rights groups for plans to intensify deportations of Central American migrants by rounding up undocumented families. Amid a surge in the arrival of unaccompanied children and families from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, U.S. government sources confirmed preparations to detain and deport, starting next month, families that already have been ordered to leave. |
