No. Ok, fine. There are times when Trump does something and you wonder, "is this part of some really complex plan? Have I misjudged him?". And then he does something like this. Or the family separation thing, which is far from over. That is when you realize, not only is he an idiot, he is operating in a fantasy world where everyone is like his core supporters, Kool Aid drinking cultists. And you realize that the country is in a really, really bad place.

He's doing everything possible to discourage people of color everywhere from coming here, under any guise, except the disguise of "I'm really from Norway". Plus, as Rosie pointed out, "cuz...Obama" I'm sure that is all true..but, if you tell people that can't apply from home, doesn't encourage them to travel here? Probably also true he had to announce the cancelling of the program cuz Obama..

"He's trying to make the process as difficult as possible", Chapt. 7 Just saw the lawyer on TV. Feds are telling this woman that she and the people in this house where she is living must be fingerprinted before unification proceeds.... "Come back July 26". Fuckers are gonna cost us so much in legal fees trying to defend the indefensible. = Woman In Hyannis Suing Feds To Get Son Back After Separation Lidia Souza has been released from a federal immigration detention center, but her son remains held. By Alex Newman, Patch Staff \| Jun 25, 2018 8:27 am ET \| Updated Jun 25, 2018 9:34 am ET HYANNIS, MA – Lawyers for a Brazilian national living in Hyannis will file a federal lawsuit Monday ordering the release of the woman's 9-year-old son. Lidia Souza was detained by immigration authorities May 30 after crossing the southwest border; her son, Diogo, was sent to a shelter in Chicago. Border Patrol argued that since Souza had not presented herself at an official port of entry, she was in the country illegally. Souza pleaded guilty to illegal entry and was sentenced to time served, but she was determined to have a credible fear of persecution if she returned to Brazil, according to the New York Times. She was allowed to move in with relatives in Massachusetts. The 27-year-old has not seen Diogo in nearly a month, despite President Trump ending the "zero tolerance" border policy under which parents and their children were separated. Parents of more than 2,300 children who were separately detained may see a lengthy bureaucratic process before being reunited, the Times reported. The Department of Homeland Security has not returned a Patch request for comment. According to the Department of Homeland Security website, a "well coordinated" process between Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and the HHS' Office of Refugee Resettlement is in place for reunification. SubscribeICE facilities post information advising detained parents who are trying to locate or communicate with a child in HHS custody to call the Detention Reporting and Information Line for assistance, which is staffed by operations Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the DHS website states. Information provided to call operators is forwarded to the HHS, which works alongside ICE to identify where a child is located, verify the parent-child relationship and establish regular communication and possible removal coordination. As of Wednesday, June 20, HHS was holding 2,053 separated minors in its facilities, 17 percent of which were placed there as a result of Zero Tolerance enforcement. The remaining 83 percent arrived to the country without a parent or guardian, according to the site. Attorneys Jesse Bless and Jeff Goldman will file suit on behalf of Souza in U.S. Federal Court in Chicago to push for Diogo's release. They argue the child was unlawfully seized and withheld from his mother, who was wrongfully held for illegal entry. The attorneys say immigration authorities did not properly instruct her on how to get her son back. patch.com
