Hey all, do you want another reminder that anything touched by the morally bankrupt shitheads in this administration is warped and perverted to cause pain and suffering? Of course you do!

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/18/17449150/family-separation-policy-immigration-dhs-orr-health-records-undocumented-kids

See, the simple banal evil of just tearing away, locking up then abandoning these kids doesn't have enough of that sweet, sweet bigotry. So instead the reports from social workers they get evaluated by that are supposed to help them have been turned into another weapon. It's been decided that, welp, you filthy illegals we won't let in legally don't get protections of the law so stuff like HIPAA doesn't apply. Anything that can be used in your case against you to make deportation more likely is fair game, so it's showing up in more and more cases against the kids.

Man it would sure be a shame if you've been recently traumatized by some kind of event like leaving everything you know, possibly dying yourself while probably seeing others die, got separated from your parents and are being interviewed by probably the first person not animated by hatred of your society and said something that could be used against you. Yes sir, real shame. What's that? You say you worked for the cartels because your choice was very literally do or see another family member die? Man you must be one of those MS13 murderers we hear so much about. Welp, back you go. I'm sure you'll make it back without being decapitated and dumped in a ditch.

Its the inevitable end of GOP policies of poisoning the water hole. They've elected a man who is going to make US financial so toxic, nobody will touch them, permanently breaking US soft power to the point of being irrecoverable, possibly even to the point where even US hard power is viewed as detrimental to world security.

I’m seeing some sort of convergence between the separation of migrant children and the creation of Trump’s Space Force. Kind of like a Universal Soldier type program, where the children serve as elite killing machines after indoctrination and training and the mandatory skin bleaching and renaming after Trump family members.

May the sacrifices of Barron 38-97A, slain while defending the Trump Hotel - Europa against the Sino-Russian Space Fleet, be not in vain.

They won't even have to cash out. The EU and other markets have shown perfect willingness to continue to consume Chinese made products and trade in Chinese goods.

They just have to....stop trading.

China doesn't want to stop buying US debt. It allows them to keep their currency low compared to the dollar, which makes their exports more competitive.

Meh, they can artificially inflate/deflate as they want. It was part of the issue in trading with China, there's been suspicion for years that China was cooking its books. Chances are, China will find a way to shift purchasing debt somewhere else if it feels it can't get profit from the US due to tariffs.

China doesn't even have to fully stop trading to really hurt the US, just slow it enough to the point where there's insufficient supply stateside to hurt US assets.

The larger issue is even if Trump stops this policy (he won't, current reports are he wants to make this a Mid Terms issue) they have no system in place to resolve this.

This is hosed.

quote:

ast week, it emerged that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (U.S.C.I.S.) had formed a task force in order to identify people who lied on their citizenship applications and to denaturalize them. Amid the overwhelming flow of reports of families being separated at the border and children being warehoused, this bit of bureaucratic news went largely unnoticed. But it adds an important piece to our understanding of how American politics and culture are changing.

Like many of the Trump Administration’s sadistic immigration innovations, the new task force doesn’t reflect a change in the law. In fact, like a number of practices, including mass deportations, it builds on the legacy of the Obama Administration, which set in motion the process of reëxamining old naturalization files. L. Francis Cissna, the director of U.S.C.I.S., told the Associated Press that his agency is looking for people who “should not have been naturalized in the first place”—for example, those who had been ordered to be deported earlier and obtained citizenship under a different name—and this sounds reasonable enough. It’s the apparent underlying premise that makes this new effort so troublesome: the idea that America is under attack by malevolent immigrants who cause dangerous harm by finding ways to live here.

Historically, naturalization has been an exceedingly rare occurrence, for good reason: by the time a person is naturalized, she has lived in this country for a number of years and has passed the hurdles of obtaining entry, legal permanent residency, and, finally, citizenship. The conceit of naturalization is that it makes an immigrant not only equal to natural-born citizens but indistinguishable from them. So denaturalization, much like the process of stripping a natural-born American of citizenship, has been an extraordinary procedure reserved for very serious cases, mostly those of war criminals.
