This is the story being discussed at length on TV programs such as Morning Joe and other TV news outlets today.
YOU CAN DO YOUR PART BY PASSING THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILIES AND TELLING THEM TO DO THE SAME. EVENTUALLY, SOMEONE IN WASHINGTON WILL LISTEN.
Jack Lippman
And while on this general subject (Immigration), we see that the
President has postponed by two weeks his announced operation to gather up and
deport all those undocumented immigrants living in this country illegally. Aside from the
enormous logistical problems such an action would create, if indeed it were
legal, is the emotional effect it has on families which may, or may not, fit
into that category. Children going to school, a spouse going to work or
out to shop for groceries ... all live under the fear that on their return their
family might not be where it was a few hours earlier. Try to imagine the
emotional stress involved. On adults, and more so, on children.
But it all fits in with the President's skill as a negotiator. Keep
changing your position. Be slippery. And then no opponent will be
able to handle you. That's his game with immigrants, with health care,
with Iran, with trade. People who have been swindled (Trump University
students, Casino contractors, etc.) don't know they've been had until it’s too
late.
And also not to be disregarded
was the Liar-in-Chief’s claim, when interviewed by Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press”
last week, that the practice of separating children from families was originated
by Barack Obama, and not Donald Trump, so he should not be blamed for it. In fact, he went on, he was attempting to
undo the harm done by Obama’s practice.
This is a perfect example of
how a skilled professional liar gets away with his lies! Yes, it is true that under
the Obama administration, the practice of separating children from their parents
was started, but ONLY where the veracity of the parental relationship needed to
be resolved or there was a question of parental abuse involved. This was not the wholesale separation
of children from parents used as a tool to discourage immigrants from applying
for asylum which the lying scoundrel presently contaminating the White House has initiated and
supported.
