President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

It does mean it's long, though. Can you explain what you like about the new process?

 

Typical liberal panty waist university president with this statement:

"The President's order related to immigration is a bad idea, poorly implemented, and I hope that he will promptly revoke and rethink it. If the idea is to strengthen the protection of Americans against terrorism, there are many far better ways to achieve it."

These lefty academics will never get it.

 

I'll answer for him: It is implemented by Donald J. Trump.

What other reason do you need?

 

Sounds like another crybaby who needs a safe space.

 

It fucks up the lives of Muslims. YF can get behind that even if it is pushed by Brand X president.

 

There's a new process?

You're right, of course. But this is the world we asked for - we demand a rushing waterfall of breaking news. You're on Twitter more than anyone here. Misinformation is a pretty predictable consequence when reporting must be:

1. Instantaneous; and
2. Confined to 140 pithy characters

 

Is drunk driving a minor offense? Should NYC not cooperate with the Feds, and instead protect undocumented immigrants who drive drunk?

TAPPER: Under a new sanctuary city law that you approved in October 2014, the city of New York shields from the feds undocumented immigrants who commit what are deemed to be lesser offenses. But they include drunk driving and grand larceny.

Why shouldn't the city of New York comply with federal law in this area? If you're are a drunk driver and you're an undocumented immigrant, why should there be a place for you in this country?

DE BLASIO: Jake, there are 170 offenses in that law that are listed as serious and violent crimes that lead to automatic cooperation between the city of New York and our federal partners.

So, any serious and violent crime, we're going to work with them. Someone commits a minor offense, for example, right now, if you didn't have clear definitions like we have -- let's say someone had a small amount of marijuana -- let's say someone went through a stop sign -- they could be deported for that, and their family could be torn apart.

And you could have children left behind where the breadwinner in the family is sent back home to a home country. That's not good for anyone.

So, we differentiate. Anyone who is violent, anyone who is a serious threat to society, we agree we will work with the federal partners and they get deported. But we are not going to see, with a half-a-million undocumented people here -- this would be true for 11 to 12 million undocumented folks in this country, the vast majority of whom are law- abiding -- we are not going to see families torn apart over a very minor offense.

TAPPER: But is grand larceny or drunk driving a very minor offense?

DE BLASIO: Drunk driving that does not lead to any other negative outcome, I could define as that.
