Let's see, how can we lower the bar on the national character some more?
The worst thing about this news to me was watching the “progressive” commentators on MSNBC hem and haw and NOT call this what it is: Out and out racism. The closest they could come was to reference Stephen Miller as a “white nationalist, in my opinion (!)”. Distressing, troubling…..Come on, guys: Can you spell R-A-C-I-S-M?
The Trump Administration is rolling out a new asylum policy that would specifically target a “triangle” of desperate asylum seekers from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, basically shuffling them around and forcing them to seek asylum in one of these countries rather than in the US. Evidently fear of torture and death is no longer a valid impetus for wanting to come here.
It didn’t occur to these Einsteins---or, maybe it did---that compelling desperate terrified people to seek asylum in the very countries they are fleeing is a completely witless, not to mention inhuman, strategy. So if you are a Guatemalan fearing death squads in that country, well, pal, step over here to Honduras! Pay no attention to the thousands who are trying to get the hell out of THERE. We’ll just ship THEM to El Salvador! And so on….
This reptile makes me physically ill

Can we get people into the streets over this? I sure hope so….
