The president of the United States is explicitly encouraging police violence.
In a speech to law enforcement officials in Long Island on Friday, the president of the United States delivered a clear and chilling message: He thinks that unauthorized immigrants are subhuman, and that law enforcement should treat them accordingly.
The ostensible villains of Trump’s speech: the transnational criminal gang MS-13, which started in California but has taken root in El Salvador and whose members have been fingered in a string of high-profile killings in Long Island. Trump described MS-13 members as “animals” who “have transformed peaceful parks and beautiful, quiet neighborhoods into bloodstained killing fields.”
But the president has never been particularly scrupulous about differentiating “good” and “bad” immigrants. The lurid details of MS-13 crimes ended up underpinning a theme Trump has used before — that the US is “besieged” by migration (largely, in reality, of children and families) out of Central America:
You say what happened to the old days where people came into this country, they worked and they worked and they worked and they had families and they paid taxes and they did all sorts of things, and their families got stronger and they were closely knit. We don't see that. Failure to enforce our immigration laws had predictable results. Drugs, gangs, and violence.
Of course, Trump claims that thanks to his administration — one of whose first priorities was to “unshackle” immigration field agents to give them more latitude in going after unauthorized immigrants — the rule of law is being restored.
But Trump’s idea of the “rule of law” is mostly about looking and acting, in his own words, mean.
Just like it’s important to have “a rich guy at the head of commerce,” he said, it’s important to have “rough guys” as ICE agents:
I saw some photos where Tom [Homan, the acting head of ICE]’s guys, rough guys, they're rough, I don't want to be — I don't want to be, you know, say it because they'll say that's not politically correct, you're not allowed to have rough people doing this kind of work
At one point, Trump literally instructed the assembled police officers not to protect the heads of suspects who were under arrest and were being loaded into police cars:
When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, I said, please don't be too nice. Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over. Like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody. Don't hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?
(TWEET-AT-LINK)
It’s the closest Trump has come since inauguration to his infamous calls for violence against protesters at campaign rallies during the presidential primary. The themes aren’t new — they’re literally the oldest trick in Trump’s book — but they’re increasingly explicit. That’s a very bad sign.
Demonizing immigrants brought Trump to victory. Now it’s the theme he returns to whenever he’s struggling.
Back in 2015, Donald Trump launched his journey toward the presidency by winning surprising support for a single, powerful theme: Unauthorized immigrants are dangerous criminals who are invading America and coming for your family.
My autocorrect changed "a good," to "avoid".
AAAAARGH!!
More evidence that the Left has completely lost its mind.
Is that one of these “androgenous” pervs that frequent manhatten? This loser is truly today’s poster child for idiots everywhere.
Will the Vox writers and editors venture into those parks?
Pretty pathetic.
So, little ms haughty millennial know-it-all has a B.A. in anthropology from Yale...Wow, what depth LOL
Yet, yet she has only seen a farm once...and describes it as “Hillarious”????
Sheesh!
She probably thinks food grows packaged in stores.
We had a few of them at JFK high school in Sacramento. They were the oldest 16 and 17 year old boys with beards, moustaches, tattoos, and cars I’d ever seen.
They were clearly in their mid-20’s but were posing as underage to evade adult sentencing. The liberal ejuhkaturs were willing co-conspirators.
Wow, just wow.
More liberal BS.
We could arrange for M. Lind to have a value(s) exchange session with some MS-13 members.
with a mouth like that i'd think she'd feel right at home on a farm...
I bet the author of this ‘opinion piece’ was one of those Dr. Spock kids whose parents never spanked them or punished them.
Of course they are. They are on the verge of losing everything.
What I want to know is why is that guy wearing lipstick ?
A pajama boy with lipstick.
Dara, dear, do you know what those guys would do to you if you ever happened to be in a room alone with them? That isn't the Harvard Glee Club you're looking at there...
MS-13 started in California and expanded to El Salvador? First time I ever heard that.
Maybe she has MS-13 mixed up with the Chino Sinners who use #13 as their tag.
unauthorized immigrants’. Lol. Not illegal lawbreakers. So if this author gets mugged, will she/he/it call it unauthorized taking ?
