They’re Not Going Back

Wait two days. Two weeks. Two years…

Trump delays limited deportation enforcement in search of a “deal.” Like what? Are they going to agree to go home voluntarily? No. They are here to stay – for now.

From the Tweeter in Chief:

At the request of Democrats, I have delayed the Illegal Immigration Removal Process (Deportation) for two weeks to see if the Democrats and Republicans can get together and work out a solution to the Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border. If not, Deportations start!

They, many of them, will go home – as soon as the coming hostilities begin in earnest. That’ll be just a little longer than a two-year delay. But, not by much.

Please make sure to vote in the VERY IMPORTANT election, whenever that is…

Cool Hand Trump

Let’s hope this lasts. Trump calls off Iranian airstrike:

Officials said the president had initially approved attacks on a handful of Iranian targets, like radar and missile batteries.

The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired when word came to stand down, the official said.

The abrupt reversal put a halt to what would have been the president’s third military action against targets in the Middle East. Mr. Trump had struck twice at targets in Syria, in 2017 and 2018.

It was not clear whether Mr. Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.

Let’s hope he realized he’s being lied to by the neocon nuts. Maybe he’ll just launch them at Iran.

Promises and Obstacles

I’m not going to suggest the President’s vow to deport “millions” of illegals amounts only to hollow words. Not just yet. But, I suggest that no-one in the establishment really takes him at his hollow word. Anyone seen any response, hysterical or otherwise, from the loyal opposition? No. They’re just not taking this seriously. But, various criminal elements are. They’re planning resistance if necessary.

“This [set of hollow words] is inhumane and un-American,” said Joshua Hoyt, executive director of the National Partnership for New Americans, a coalition of immigrant-rights groups. “A massive crackdown will cause harm to communities throughout this nation…. We plan to help immigrants resist this massive abuse of power by preparing rapid- response teams and legal assistance on the ground.”

Aside from what I inserted between the [ ], all of the above quote is either lies or criminal threat. “Inhumane.” Lie; the implications of the hollow words are to be expected under any guise of rule of law. “Un-American.” Lie; the hollow plan is PRO-American, understanding “American” as a distinct moniker. “Will cause harm.” Lie; only benefits away AMERICANS from making America somewhat American again. “Help immigrants resist.” Publically bragging about a conspiracy to commit felonies.

I’m guessing all guilty parties get away with it. I hear the rubes were chatting the old, hollow slogans at the giant WWE, circus tent rally the other night. New Amerika, indeed.

The Comeback That Can’t

The Washington Times opines about a future resurgence of conservatism. Given that conservatism is a non-ideology and a failure, let’s predict that the comeback either won’t happen or that it won’t matter.

As conservatism takes its new shape in the face of President Trump’s takeover of the Republican Party, old alliances have been fractured, and multiple fights have broken out about what conservatism should look like. Many of those who waded into the debate have assumed, not without justification, that recent political developments have shattered limited-government conservatism and that any future conservatism is likely going to be less libertarian than that which preceded Trump. But there are a number of good reasons to believe that limited-government conservatism will make a comeback.

They forgot to mention getting back to the Constitution.

Paying for the Wall?

I’m not sure how much money it will raise, but Mr. Trump vows new tariffs on all things MEX:

In a surprise announcement that could derail a major trade deal, President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he is slapping a 5% tariff on all Mexican imports, effective June 10, to pressure the country to do more to crack down on the surge of Central American migrants trying to cross the U.S. border.

He said the percentage will gradually increase — up to 25% — “until the Illegal Immigration problem is remedied.”

Was this a January 2017 oversight item? Anyway, better late than never.

A Tale of Two Countries

One country sends across or allows to cross, our Southern border, some 4,000 invaders every single day. Thousands of miles away, another country, with no ability to attack the imperial homeland, mostly minds its business. Regarding the first country, your President sends hundreds of soldiers – to shuttle the invaders from welfare appointment to welfare appointment. To the other, harmless country, he sends a carrier task force, heavy bombers, fighters, and combat troops.

Can you name the countries? MAGA?

THE WALL Progresses!

At THIS RATE the entire border should be (nominally) secure within  500 years!

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has put up just 1.7 miles of fencing with the US$1.57 billion that Congress appropriated last year for President Donald Trump’s wall along the Mexican border, a federal judge was told.

A lawyer for the U.S. House of Representatives provided the information Tuesday to the judge in Oakland, California, who is weighing requests from 20 state attorneys general and the the Sierra Club to block Trump from using funds not authorized by Congress to build the wall.

“The administration recently provided updated information to Congress on the status of its efforts as of April 30, 2019,” the attorney, Douglas Letter, said in a court filing. “Based on that updated information, it appears that CBP has now constructed 1.7 miles of fencing with its fiscal year 2018 funding.”

That was 3/4 of a mile more than the administration reported at the end of February, Letter said.

U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam had asked for the information at a May 17 hearing.

Representatives of Customs and Border Protection didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment after regular business hours.

And, it will only end up costing about $2 Trillion! What. A. Deal!

Maybe the Official End of the United States Too

Not necessarily outright, but a useless war with Iran could well precipitate the eventual and inevitable breakup of the U.S. Empire.

“If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon.

It’s unclear exactly what promoted Trump’s posting, but news outlets reported explosions in Iraq’s capital and that a rocket launcher was discovered in eastern Baghdad, an area that is home to Iranian-backed Shiite militias.

Step One: Get rid of Bolton. Step Two: Ditch Twitter. Step Three: Watch a 2015-16 campaign event and note the topics (and then start following through).

Maybe to Your Town

Certainly with your money. Donald “MAGA” “Build the WALL” Trump plans to resettle (let’s not kid ourselves) 225K illegal aliens … somewhere, somehow, someday.

The Trump administration is looking to hire a private contractor that will be responsible for transporting approximately 225,000 migrant children and families to shelters across the country over the next five years as they wait for their asylum claims to be processed.

ICE (the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency) is seeking the services of a “highly responsible” contractor that “fully embraces the philosophy” of treating all unaccompanied minors (UACs) and family units (FAMUs) with “dignity and respect,” according to a federal procurement document dated May 13.

A responsible philosophy of dignity and respect. This sounds racist as hell to me! What are the other 30 million illegals supposed to do? Make their own travel arrangements? That actor guy was right about Trump! Maybe the SJWs were right about abolishing ICE.

A better idea, given that these are “children and families,” might be to build a big water park near to the Southern border. The ultimate ride could be a giant water slide tower, one that deposits thrilled UAC-FAMU frolickers right over the Wall.* Then again, I stopped making suggestions to the White House when they never answered any of my other questions and comments. At this point, go ahead and resettle all of them. I hear Trump Tower might have some vacancies.

*Would also require building the Wall.
