Trump seeks to keep dealing with Immigration through FEAR…..

Using helicons threats and a more than willing media to embelish them…..

In coming President Donald Trump is ‘working it’ on immigration, trade, foreign and government power….

It won’t work all the time….

But Trump made immigration a hammer and now he’ll try to keep using it….

 

On the guys second go around?

He’s at AGAIN…..

Yes…

I KNOW more American voters choose HIM over Jor Biden and Kamala Harris….

That don’t make it BETTER….

It actually makes it WORSE that they would lower their choice for a gutter hugging ole timer that resides in a alternate Universe….

 

Donald Trump’s first days should start off with dud….

(He’ll be fixated on the inauguration crowd size as usual)

Most of cabinet choices won’t be in place….

There HAS been draw backs on immigration, tariffs and even Jan.6 pardons….

Reality Bites….

 

IN A SEMINAL 2018 ARTICLE FOR THE ATLANTIC, Adam Serwer wrote, of then-President Donald Trump’s immigration policy and general approach to governance, “The Cruelty is the Point.”

But as the pieces begin to come together on Trump 2.0’s approach to mass deportations, a different sensation is emerging: fear.

When it comes to Trump world, the projection of fear is not a bug: It is a feature of their revitalized deportation machine. Just this past week, according to an NBC News report, the Trump transition team warned of “showcase” workplace raids, possibly in the Washington, D.C. area, which has activist and immigrant communities on high alert in neighboring Maryland and Virginia. Tom Homan, Trump’s incoming border czar, separately told NBC he plans to bring a “fresh” idea to the table—a hotline for Americans to report undocumented immigrants they suspect of having committing crimes, which is of course ripe for abuse. And in that same report, Homan casually remarked that people without criminal records will get caught in the deportation dragnet, too.

Why such public gestures? Because the incoming administration’s immigration approach is more about generating shock than awe.

After all, while he is boasting publicly, Homan has privately told Republican lawmakers to “temper their expectations” for the promised millions of deportations on account of “limited resources,” CNN reported. Without the benefit of time and money, Rolling Stone wrote, the Trump administration will turn to “generating relentless propaganda” to create a media spectacle. And as for Homan’s “fresh” idea of creating a hotline, well, there is already an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tipline where you can report crimes like document and benefit fraud, illegal immigration, human trafficking, and many other offenses. It has existed for more than twenty years, and it takes 15,000 calls a month….
