In a move straight out of a tin-pot dictatorship, the Trump Administration has stopped responding to United Nations inquiries into human rights conditions.
The Trump admin has stopped cooperating with U.N. investigators over potential human rights violations occurring inside America, in a move that delivers a major blow to vulnerable U.S. communities....
Per the Murdoch-owned, conservative Wall Street Journal, Trump is an idiot.
The U.S. trade deficit looks almost certain to expand in the year ahead, and that will have important consequences for the economy.
Trump has pledged to narrow the trade deficit, but in 2018 it has widened instead, coming to $503 billion in the year through October versus $451 billion over the same period in 2017.
Expanding the number of immigrants rounded up into jails isn’t just policy; it’s big business. GEO Group expects its earnings to grow to $2.3 billion this year. Like other private prison companies, it made large donations to Trump’s campaign & inaugural.
These are dangerous times for undocumented immigrants. ICE has been super-charged by the Trump administration. And ICE’s empowerment has been lucrative for the companies that both cage and employ immigrants...
THERE IS NO BOTTOM. THIS IS EVIL.
Federal authorities have arrested 170 immigrants who came forward seeking to sponsor migrant children in government custody.... They were the result of background checks conducted on potential sponsors of unaccompanied migrant children placed under the care of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Actions have consequences and the Republican leadership's xenophobic immigration policy is stopping the best and the brightest from coming to America. Historically, students have come from across the globe to study at our universities and then contribute to our society, growing our economy and strengthening our nation'a future. Not anymore.
Stephen Miller and other despicable, xenophobic power-wielding puppeteers of the Trump administration proudly continue to find any way possible to harm immigrants via tear gas, not processing asylum requests, and STILL separating families despite it being ruled illegal by a federal judge.
Two weeks ago, this should have been on the front page of newspapers and on the nightly news for days. Instead, chances are you didn't hear a thing about this.

The Kennel: What Happens Before the Detention Facility
Trump and the Republicans who surround him are leading our government and country off a cliff. Give corporations and wealthy everything they want from money to eliminated regulations. Take away the hard-fought rights of anyone non-white (or non-male) they can. Hate and stupidity is the only way to conceive of such actions.
It's never been about "illegal" immigration. It's about no immigration for Trump-led Republicans by any means necessary. In this post, we see how they do not care if it harms our military, no immigrants allowed.
Over the course of 12 months, the U.S. Army discharged more than 500 immigrant enlistees who were recruited across the globe for their language or medical skills and promised a fast track to citizenship in exchange for their service. The Army began booting out enlistees last year without explanation.
