During a press conference in the White House Rose Garden on Friday morning, President Trump pledged to take care of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents moments before signing policy into law that strips the agency of deportation powers.
ICE is abused by the press and by the Democrats, Trump said. And by the way, were going to be taking care of ICE. Whether we talk about the new bill were going to be taking care of ICE. They wanted to get rid of ICE and the bill is just the opposite of that.
The bipartisan spending package, however, dismantles ICE agents power to deport illegal aliens living in the U.S. who have either relatives or friends of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs).
A provision signed off by Trump bans ICE agents from deporting any illegal alien sponsor who takes in a UAC after the child has been trafficked across the U.S.-Mexico border. The spending bill now codifies into law, indefinitely, that federal immigration officials are not allowed to deport not only illegal alien sponsors of UACs, but also any illegal alien living in the household of a UAC or those who claim to be potential sponsors of UACs.

Not so sure about Horowitz. He and I are from the same era, same part of the country and in many instances, he is the only living source left for what really happened as opposed to the commie version available everywhere else. Most of it was only catalogued in the underground publications of the 1970s. When we are all dead and gone, Horowitz’ books will be the last remaining record.
We are all flawed. We all did drugs back then. Memory is imperfect. I agree about Coulter and Bannon. Ingraham may be problematic. But David Horowitz was one of the first, along with Radosh, to pull back the red curtain and expose the 50s, 60s and 70s as they were.
We were all lied to and manipulated. Our vaunted cultural revolution of the 60s/70s was all orchestrated by CIA and whomever they really serve. Even a lot of our music and certainly all of our mores were manipulated. But we were young and dumb.
The fact that people can grow and change is why I never changed my FR handle. I was there and one day I woke up. So, there is hope for everyone, even the young folks of today.
But this is different from the original Turing question, which was whether a human or machine was controlling the system. In this case, it could be either or both.
Zero reduction from Obama-levels of third world migration.
I’m sorry if the facts hurt your feelings snowflake.
I tend to respect the opinions of Mr. Horowitz; but this stunt - “amnesty in the details” (of a freaking temporary appropriations bill) - torqued me to no end, because he knows better.
You need further expound on your “problematic” remark about Ingraham.
I never was “liberal,” as best as I am able to recall - and I grew up in a family of (Moderate?) Democrats. My parents were of the WWII generation - and exceptionally patriotic. My Dad absolutely despised “hippies.”
The older I get, the more conservative my views have tended; the more clearly I realize how insane our culture has become, and; the less patience I have for bullsh*t - especially the idiocy of the type I read from Coulter’s ilk, and those on FR who parrot her insufferable self-serving rubbish.
As for the “young folks” ...
Honestly, I don’t share your optimism. I am aware that my opinion is usually considered a cynical cliche’ - but ... My God! Transgendersim and same-sex “marriage?” If there were any two agents more culturally depraved and individually destructive, or more indicative of our nation’s demise, I cannot suppose any having a greater impact than these two, of which the “young folks” seem hellbent on affirming and increasing the propagation.
Again, this is an appropriations bill - incapable of creating or nullifying existing statutes, or changing the codified regulatory practices of those agencies tasked with enforcing our immigration laws.
If you will not or have not the capacity to appreciate the distinction, then you have no business expressing your opinion on the issue ... Because, in so doing, you prove yourself to be either a sycophantic dimwit, or else a subversive.
I think I was speaking of David Horowitz and you are speaking of Daniel. Daniel, I’m not familiar with.
Ingraham needs an audience. I think she plays to a mythical middle in a divided world in order to garner more audience. I also am unsure if she knows what she’s on about.
Coulter is just an attention whore, IMO.
I was always tolerant of gays. I am an artist and they were part of my world. I remember the times without access to abortion, stayed with a friend in college while she nearly hemorrhaged to death while recovering in a motel from a humanitarian MD’s abortion. But, I draw the line at abortion for convenience and in the 3rd trimester. I can’t even speak to this day-of-delivery abomination.
My parents were economically liberal. Socially progressive for their time. They were very unhappy I praised Reagan.
The culture is unbeatable. When people are young (under 40 from my aged perspective), they follow their friends, for the most part. Changes come from inside. I know conservative married lesbians (at least one of the pair is, anyway). After 40, it seems to me people get stuck and just continue in their respective beliefs and those become more entrenched.
Transgenderism, IMO, is a fad induced by those who desire to see the shattering of Western Civilization. Destructive, certainly. Misery-inducing, as well. I don’t pretend to understand it. Gay marriage? Well, people desire to be accepted and marriage is one of the rites of passage, so they all want it even if they are not seen as entitled. For cultural depravity and personal destruction, though, I think this endless hatred and the accompanying acting out in vile terms and graphic threats is the worst. Orwellian and also similar to the foaming rage seen from Muslims against *infidels*.
SIGH. It is a new world and I have withdrawn in large part because I cannot fit into it.
Thank you for explaining that this latest cave, this latest waste of six months while third world migration continues at Obama levels “doesn’t really count” and “victory will be next time”.
Your wisdom and brilliance enriches us all.
