GOP Congress Doubles Down on Deportations http://takingnote.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/09/behold-the-republican-immigration-strategy-mass-deportation/ … #UniteBlue #p2 #DAPA #USLatino #ImmigrationAction pic.twitter.com/gMdKXBhvhD

Behold the Republican Immigration Strategy: Mass Deportation

It’s a new year, with a new Congress, but the same old Republican Party hard line on immigration. Harder, actually.

The New York Times and Politico are reporting that the House is getting ready to vote next week on a legislative package that would repeal the broad executive actions taken by President Obama to protect immigrants from deportation. The idea is to gut the president’s ability to use discretion in deciding whom to deport, and to restore the enforcement dragnet that Mr. Obama and the Homeland Security Department recently, and wisely, curtailed.

The G.O.P. is not just seeking to undo the executive actions Mr. Obama announced last November, for young immigrants known as Dreamers and many of their parents. The party also wants to repeal earlier actions going back to 2012, protecting hundreds of thousands of Dreamers and the families of active-duty service members.

That is a lot of people to force back into the deportation line.

6. Why would those Mexicans think they have any rights to

the lands of those white European Texans?

You would think their ancestors once lived there or something. Everyone knows white Europeans have always lived in Texas, and Arizona, and Nevada, and California.

9. I perfer Coahula y Tejas myself....

and for you in California, Nevada and Arizona, how about Alta California...territory of that is. We weren't so high and mighty about one nation stealing another nation's territory back then.
