Trump’s war on immigrants is ramping back up and it’s flying under the radar

The plan wasn’t working. Less than a year into President Donald Trump’s second term, his administration’s signature initiative — facilitating the mass deportation of “millions and millions” of immigrants, as he once put it — had become a political liability. A surge of federal agents to Minnesota proved to be the apex of a flashy, combative strategy that tried to steamroll any opposition — and failed.

But now, according to The New York Times, the seeming lull in arrests that followed the winter’s chaos has given way to a renewed effort to round up as many immigrants for deportation as possible — without drawing the same level of attention. The shift shows both the limits that the administration has faced in its deportation spree and its determination to continue apace despite the president’s approval ratings on immigration tanking. Without the same amount of spotlight-seeking from immigration officials, however, the White House hopes to deny opponents the clear targets to organize against that last year’s deportation campaigns provided.

In spite of its profound pro illegal alien migrant bias, this article shows that the Trump administration is being smarter in its operation and more effective. Note: illegal alien migrants are referred to by the honorable term of, "immigrants." The bias is disgusting.

Beyond disgusting. The whole piece is fairly dripping with charged, insulting pejoratives and tropes:
* signature initiative
* mass deportation
* surge of federal agents
* combative strategy
* steamroll any opposition
* winter’s chaos
* round up as many immigrants for deportation as possible
* deportation spree
* determination to continue apace
* spotlight-seeking from immigration officials

Yet, poll after poll shows that Voter ID has the strong support of 70% to 80% of voters including Democrats! Yet, Voter ID is all about making sure illegals do not vote. You could infer from the article that people hate deporting illegals yet do not want them to vote. Which, of course, is not self-consistent.

Any mention of the “immigrants” being here illegally?

The “law” is just a social construct. Like civilization and whiteness.

We really should protest the media.

But we don’t protest anything so...

Rounding up illegal aliens is not a war on immigrants.

And the problem is?

The only real problem is that a democrat president will reverse all this because the so called republican congress deliberately avoided passing laws to make Trump’s actions permanent.

Illegal aliens. Foreign mercenaries.

Not immigrants.

this article shows that the Trump administration is being smarter in its operation and more effective.

Which was why Trump replaced Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino.

Trump was changing his tactics, not his strategy.

Well to be fair, the SCOTUS finally ruled the judges can’t do anything to stop it. So we can finally ramp up deportations.

It is not a “war“ on immigrants. It is an attempt to enforce our nations laws.
