President Trump has signed three more executive orders, further cracking down on the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers. One order seeks to compile a list of so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with Trump’s mass deportation policies.
A second order further militarizes local police departments, while providing legal resources to officers accused of abuses; it also seeks to undo federal consent decrees for departments that have committed civil rights abuses and seeks to punish local officials who “unlawfully prohibit law enforcement officers from carrying out duties.”
A third executive order requires professional truck drivers to be proficient in English. On Monday, staffers placed signs on the White House lawn showing mugshots of immigrants, linking them to crimes with the word ”ARRESTED” written in all caps.
This comes as House Republicans have proposed a bill that would charge people arriving at a U.S. port of entry $1,000 in order to file an asylum claim — and a $3,500 fee for those sponsoring children. The right to seek asylum is a fundamental human right enshrined in international law, and the U.S. has never before charged petitioners.
That is truly not possible, the cancer of capitalism is too deep in the government for anything to actually get fixed. The only way would be a massive invasive surgery to remove the cancer, or the country collapses and we have to build back up.
Ive seen it happening since I was old enough to follow politics, we have done nothing but make it worse, never taking one step in the direction of positive change, at best we just stop marching towards the cliff edge for a few minutes. I used to think to myself “I hope this shitshow can at least keep going until I’m dead and gone” but its becoming clear that’s not the case. Now its economic collapse or facism or both. I’m fucking embarrassed by my country and more so a large swath of my country men that are just brainless fucking zombies without a single individually formed opinion, enthusiastically celebrating the dying breath of America, deluding themselves to thinking we are actually saving it.
I do not understand how it is not obvious to everyone alive that a system built on endless growth is destined to fail.
