You've heard it over and over from Republicans: they are just concerned
about undocumented immigrants (or "illegal aliens," as the Justice
Department has been ordered
to say). If you ignore the fact that Customs and Border Protection
treated asylum seekers who presented themselves as such at the proper
border crossings - doing everything legally - like they were
undocumented migrants, and if you ignore the mostly-Muslim ban, well,
you could maybe sort of believe Republicans if you squinted and stuck
your fingers in your ears.
Of course, mistreating the undocumented was never the full plan.
Because, see, White House adviser and Man Most Likely to Be Caught
Eating Hamsters Whole, Stephen Miller, is a fucking ghoul, and he's
getting the Trump administration to change
how legal immigrants are treated. And if you're thinking, "Oh, they
must be getting extra nice to documented immigrants because they've been
such pricks to undocumented ones," then you're a fucking idiot who
doesn't understand the level of cruelty for cruelty's sake these
shit heels exist on.
What they want to do now is get rid of legal immigrants and they're
gonna contort the fuckin' law to do it so they don't need congressional
approval. The plan: "immigrants living legally in the U.S. who have ever
used or whose household members have ever used Obamacare, children's
health insurance, food stamps and other benefits could be hindered from
obtaining legal status in the U.S." You got that? You have a kid who's a
U.S. citizen and is on CHIP? No green card for you. You have a green
card and get an Obamacare subsidy? No citizenship and, hey, we'll take
that green card away. Back to the unstable visa system for you or, the
real goal, deportation.
How fucked do you have to be to believe that this is in any way good for
the country? You gotta be some bullshit white genocide-believing,
Nazi-loving motherfucker to go along with this. Or, you know, an average
Republican in this worthless age of Trump.
So you can live in this country legally for years, have kids here, and
pay your taxes. But if you avail yourself of something that your taxes
are helping to fund, you can go fuck off back to Mexico or whatever
shit hole you came from. You're a "public charge" now, even if you're
just getting the barest of help from the government.
Trumpistas also say that they are targeting people who did something
else wrong at some point in their lives, like lie on a visa application.
But, as is the way with Donald Trump, who never met a contract he
wouldn't violate, even people who had an agreement with the government
are finding that the deal has been broken by this administration.
In one example, a Haitian man who has a green card "had used a fake
passport given to him by smugglers when he entered the U.S. from Haiti
in 1989, but confessed to border officers and received a waiver from
USCIS absolving him of his wrongdoing and allowing him to obtain a green
card in 2011." Now, though? Fuck the waiver we gave you. "When he went
for his citizenship interview in August 2017, the USCIS officers told
him they were going to revisit the decision to waive the fake passport
incident, meaning he could potentially lose his green card as well." And
then he found out he was denied citizenship. The man works 80 hours a
week and takes care of a disabled daughter. He's further fucked because
he has used public assistance to help with his American kid. How does
this make America great again? If "great" means "whiter," then, sure,
goal met.
Here you go, Republicans. Another shot to stand up and say to Trump,
"No. Fuck this. This is too far. Fire that Miller cockhole and act like
you're a goddamned human being." Except you won't. Because it is you. It
has been you for decades. You're just finally getting to be your worst
selves.
