Mass Deportations Have Begun, Congressman Says

U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro accused President Trump on Thursday of putting a mass deportation program into place, saying it goes beyond anything orchestrated by prior administrations.

Trump pledged during the campaign to deport the estimated 11 million immigrants in this country illegally. After the election, he softened the stance, saying criminals would be targeted.

He said ICE officials refused to answer questions about the number of people currently in detention centers, where the detainees are from and how many overstayed their visas versus how many were “border crossers.”

No, he's just trolling and people are foolishly playing along with his game. This not a difficult concept. Don't feed trolls. Instead of one idiotic post, we end up with the idiot post, then replies, then more idiocy from the troll, then more replies. Don't feed trolls.

I am hesitant to respond to this, because that might give the impression that I give a ****, but....

Blathy will never pass up an opportunity to "scold" someone for even reading my posts. What's up with that? Why should he care?

Well, because he's a self-important stuffed shirt who wants to be taken extremely seriously. The guy has no sense of humor whatsoever, and that's the way he likes it. He doesn't want anyone else, including YOU, to have any fun, to consider any "external" opinions or sources of information, or to do anything less than "acknowledge" what he believes to be his manifest superiority.

Speaking for myself, NOBODY is going to tell me who I can listen to. I don't have agree with someone to "like" them. One's political views are among the least important aspects of a person's value to me. Blathy is seeking subservient disciples for his brand of commie-ass indoctrination, and is quite disturbed by any "intrusion" into HIS space.

Those of you who wish to accede to his instructions, be my guest. Just what I'd expect of a cheese-eater, actually.

Wonder what he will do if the rally crowd is kind of thin? Bus people in? Pay them in advance?

I doubt his supporters, if he has any true supporters, can afford to leave their jobs and attend regularly scheduled Trump adoration rallies. Maybe his circus handlers can recruit busloads of fake supporters from Massachusetts to feed the wannabe Fuhrer's need for cheering fans. According to Trump, after all, thousands of people from Massachusetts are willing to get on buses and cross state lines for nefarious purposes.

Obama has been a "habitual vacationer" enjoying taxpayer-funded trips. Trump promised to "rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done". What we can see.

According to Judicial Watch Obama spend over $96 Million in eight years.
Just compare this to the little sum Trump has spent! And flying to Mar-a-Lago is a lot cheaper than staying in Camp David!

Less than a month into his first term, Trump resembles Nixon at his most besieged—angry, flailing, driven to distraction. But unlike Nixon, Trump enjoys the complicity of nearly his entire party. Unless that relationship breaks down, it will be impossible to contain the fallout of Trump’s presidency until January 2019 at the earliest. By then, the damage might be irreparable.
