Sorry I've been away and haven't been on more. Hope to remedy that...
This is Stephen Miller and Jeff Sessions, to a lesser extent, John Kelly. They managed to convince Trump that the Dems would cave on all immigration issues and give him an omnibus immigration reform bill within weeks. I don't think they actually believe that, but I believe that is how they sold it to Trump. They are looking for a catalyst event to galvanize sides to drive the issue to open conflict. Stephen Miller has stated as much, on the record, on multiple occassions (though all prior to the Inauguration).
I saw an amazing thing happening in Trumpland... The Blaze posted an article about how Franklin Graham is opposed to this tactic. You know, the evangelical pope, heir to Billy Graham, who said that Trump banging pornstars was perfectly in accord with Jesus's teachings.... Well, Franklin Graham stated he is opposed to this enforcement tactic... and the Comments section was vicious...they turned on him on a dime and calling for physical violence against him. Ditto for Laura Bush.
Something is very, very wrong. Family separation is NOT an immigration issue. That can and SHOULD be discussed with vigorous debate. Family separation is a tactic designed to inflict pain, on the immigrants and on the American public at large. It is abhorent, immoral and against international law. I cannot believe I am saying this, but Ted Cruz seems to be our last, best hope for our collective humanity.
