Give me your most educated and wealthiest of the masses yearning to be free.

I don't have much to say tonight, although I would like your feedback on this new trump immigration proposal.

Your president has laid out his "merit based immigration plan", and yes, it's as bad as it sounds.

"Under the new plan, 57% of green cards would be awarded on merit as opposed to the current 12%. Immigrants would be expected to be financially self-sufficient, learn English and pass a civics exam. The diversity visa lottery, which offers green cards to citizens of countries with historically low rates of immigration to the US, would be terminated.

“If adopted, our plan will transform America’s immigration system into the pride of our nation and the envy of the modern world,” 

This is rich coming from a man who hires undocumented workers, and who could not meet the standard he set for others himself.

Let's see now, he can't speak English, we know that he would flunk the civics exam, and he damn sure isn't  "financially self-sufficient". --How could he be when he lost over a billion dollars?--  And he was still trying to borrow millions of dollars since being elected president. Heck two of his three wives couldn't meet the standard he set for other immigrants who want to come to this country. I am quite sure that Mr. trump's current in- laws would not have been granted green card status under this plan. I guess they got in just in time.     

On its face this doesn't even look like a serious proposal around policy. Sadly, it looks just like another one of his cheap political stunts to fire up his base.

Thoughts?

  1. Sure, it's cruel and impractical and hypocritical; and sure, he'd fail those tests; so sure, it's false from top to bottom; but that _guarantees_ that he will run with it. It's Trumpian _because_ it is false.

    This obviously comes straight from the desk of Trump’s unofficial secretary of racism, Stephen Miller.

    It’s total bullshit — a huge part of our legal immigration now is based around immigrants meeting criteria for providing skilled labor, and demanding we make it 100% by eliminating things like family reunification would cause lots of hardship while providing no meaningful benefit.

    Such a bill would also be dead on arrival in the House, so this is yet more stupid Trumpian grandstanding for his bigoted fan club, who have deranged beliefs that America is “importing” huge hordes of brown-skinned bums and losers.

    This will become law right around the time the glorious Wall gets built: on the 5th of Never.

    To the network of well connect and endlessly wealthy and powerful plutocrats, there are no borders. There are no nations. The world is their plaything. They hope to form a global governance which they hope to control, EU-style in perpetuity. So, no, no change will occur.

    The latest job to be farmed out to a Kenyan is... serial killer.  Billy Chemirmir stands indicted in 12 murders, with more possible.

    America had to bring in a Jamaican (Colin Ferguson) to shoot up the Long Island Railroad, and now a Kenyan to murder old women in Texas.  What's the next job that Americans won't do?  Will we soon get a visa category for carjackers?  How about bank robbers?

    Hold on a minute, Kid. When you say "white women" you imply all white women. I have a problem with that. If you know anything about the women's movement, you know that at least a million white women have been active in the pro choice movement along with our black and brown sisters.

    As a Democrat and as a volunteer, I have always worked for and voted for candidates that supported women's rights including the right to a safe, legal abortion. The last time I voted for any Republican was in 1964 when I voted for my senator who was instrumental in passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

    And I don't think you are being fair, letting white men off the hook. After all, the legislators voting to take away women's rights are mostly white men.

    Apparently, for his next atrocity, Trump is planning on pardoning a bunch of American war criminals. Hey, they only murdered brown Muslim people, so I guess we’re not supposed to give a shit about that?

    One of the pardons has already gone through, for murderer Michael Behenna, who took an Iraqi prisoner out in the desert and extrajudicially shot him.

    In related news, Trump also recently pardoned convicted fraudster Conrad Black, because Black once wrote a book saying nice things about Trump the “brilliant” businessman.

    Perfectly normal way to operate as president. Not corrupt or fascistic or a sign of the spiraling moral decline of America. Nothing to see here.

The babbies would immediately be handed over to the tender mercies of phony kristians to indoctrinate them while the mothers get a month or two of rest before the next period of gestation.

    This program would be so successful wingnuts would send out the military to kidnap and force even more brood sows to come to whitey world.

No, I built a great business and don’t need banks, but if I did they would be there…and DeutscheBank was very good and highly professional to deal with – and if for any reason I didn’t like them, I would have gone elsewhere….there was always plenty of money around and banks to choose from.

    "Mike, don't ya know, Tom and all his ilk are standing up for forced pregnancies, 'cause whites are falling behind in population growth and women aren't real humans anyway?"

    It doesn't seem likely that the latest anti-abortion laws are a white supremacist strategy. These are counterproductive from their point of view. Forcing poorer women to have unwanted babies will increase births of non-whites more than whites, because the poor are disproportionately people of color. It would make more sense for white supremacists to want to increase access to contraception and abortion. In fact, if they had their way, everyone but whites would be forcibly sterilized.

    No, this isn't coming from the racist wing of the GOP. It's coming from the sexist, homophobic, Christian theocracy wing of the party. The Republican coalition is a grab bag of people who believe in extremely dumb, antiquated ideas, which in many ways are in conflict with each other. Racism is only one of those dumb ideas.

    "Biden will be the Democratic nominee, after Cameltoe Harris's sex tapes wind up all over LiveLeak, YouTube and BitChute. Immediately after the nomination, memes of Biden creeping on underage girls will go all over social media and e-mail. After the deadlines for candidacy have passed in all states, Biden will be arrested on warrants for pedophilia and the Democratic party will be without a candidate. Bernie Sanders will try to run a write-in campaign but will get zero electoral votes."

    Hahaha, hope you kept the receipt for your crystal ball -- it's broken.

    The attacks on Biden for "excessive hugging" are #MeToo gone mad. This will be completely forgotten in a few months.

    And how much of an idiot do you have to believe there is a Kamala Harris porno out there? (Honestly, if there were such a thing and the public watched it, her polling numbers might go up. She's pretty hot, and we live in a country in which the Kartrashians are collectively worth billions.) Most Democrats are only joking about the existence of a Trump pee-pee tape, but I'd still bet that's still more likely to surface than one of Kamala Harris doing the horizontal mambo.

    Yeah, I don't really agree with that either. Hedges is just wrong here.

    Chris Hedges is a lefty who wants to narrow income inequality (as do I, for what it's worth) and he is unfortunately letting this bias color his opinions on many issues -- economically redistributive policies will cure all ills!

    But the evidence doesn't support his argument where birth rates are concerned. Poverty isn't causing a "birth strike." Intuitively, one might think that having more money would free people up to have more kids, but just the opposite seems to happen in reality. European countries that have more generous social welfare and parental leave policies than we do tend to have lower birth rates than we do.

    Spain recently passed laws guaranteeing men the right to paternity leave. This was intended to help more women get into the workforce, but also, it was believed that sharing the burden of childcare would make fertility numbers go up. Yet they did not. The childbirth rate, in fact, went down.

    Men who receive paid paternity leave want fewer children, study finds

    The truth of the matter is that affluence often seems to make people choose to have fewer kids, even if they can actually afford to raise more of them.

    Anyway, the "corporate wing" of the Republicans do not insist on maintaining an adequately sized labor force through childbirth. Instead, they are happy to encourage immigration to solve this problem. It's the racist, Trumpist wing of the party that hate this, because most immigrants today aren't gonna be white.

    I tend to agree with you here. If all the immigrants were coming from Norway, I think that Trump's followers would be happy and would support them. But the racists Trumpies are terrified by the changing demographics in the country and feel compelled to oppose all incoming people who are not white.
