Immigration

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

4 lies Jeff Sessions told to justify ending DACA
And one misleading claim.

I posted a link a year ago about a Syrian refugee family, chocolatiers by trade. The family owned a successful chocolate business in Damascus, Syria, that employed 30 people and made shipments across the Middle East. They rebuilt their business in Canada as a small chocolate factory.

That was a year ago. Now they've opened a BIG chocolate factory.

Where I do my only banking:
We Support DACA

We at Self-Help Credit Union believe that DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals for young immigrants) must be continued. It is morally right to stand with children and parents who come to the US to improve their condition, and to recognize their contributions to our nation.

In NC we offer 0% interest loans to help pay the costs for a DACA renewal. We are accepting applications through October 4. To find out more, contact your local branch office or call 1-800-966-7353.

Thank you for supporting Dreamers!

Tell President Trump and Congress that welcoming refugees is an American value!

The petition to Democratic leaders reads:

“Demand that legislation to protect Dreamers does not include compromises with Republicans’ anti-immigrant agenda. Refuse to trade Dreamers for expanded immigration enforcement, walling off our borders, or attacking other immigrants and refugees.”

To my members of Congress:

Immediately pass legislation to rescind the illegal and unconstitutional Muslim ban and make absolutely clear that such attempts to target Muslims, or anyone on the basis of national origin, are unlawful.

Kelly must be a racist PoS. First all he remembers from the FBI dedication is some black person talking about herself. Now we have him stating that he would not allow refugees into our country.

I'm pretty sure that by the time we started thinking the military generals were the "adults" and "good guys" that we were well past screwed.

The media's incessant rush to make trump and republicans as having some base in reality does come back to bite.

So easy to assume that this guy is a racist sack of shit, or he wouldn't be where he is.
Oops, I was right again.

He is an adult. But he's also evil, as his comments on refugees and gold star families demonstrate. His White House co-workers are incompetent and evil, and he's competent and evil.

He's the evil overlord who finds himself working for the incompetent childish dolt who should be no more than an untrusted henchman. Some day - but not too soon - it'll make for a great comedy.

Leaving aside the evil content of his actions, I'm not sure that Kelly's role in the Gold Star widow episode demonstrates competent maturity. We'll see.

His involvement shows all to clearly how he misremembers the torture and humiliation he endured having to listen to a black woman speak.

The man is scum.

Someone needs to dig up the dehumanising names he called the Afghanis and Iraqis we were trying to "liberate".

This is a guy who wants to split up mothers and children at the border to “deter” people from coming to the U.S..

those who say that the cream rises to the top never milked. sitting right on top before the cream even begins to separate is a layer of scum that farmers scrape off and throw to the barn cats. in the marines - they promote it
