Kirstjen Nielsen, Making America White Again

[rjmacs]

This Whitest of White women is getting her way; this time it's Hondurans.

She's up to >350K current and pending expulsions of undesirable brown and Black people.

Immigration has been and still is badly broken.

Is it too late for the Irish?

Please don't take this the wrong way. Some of my best friends are Those People.

She is possibly one of the least qualified people in Trump's cabinet, and that's in a cabinet filled with bizarrely unqualified people. When she helped with Trump's inauguration, Nielsen was a little known cyber security consultant angling for an undersecretary position in a DHS sub-agency. Then Kelly's pick for DHS head was derailed because he was from the Obama admin. So they went with Nielsen, who has zero experience with immigration matters and is a 100% Trump political hack.

This is where executive power over immigration is downright scary. We all hope that Trump becomes a lame duck president in November 2020. 2020 is when a lot of the current special immigration protections for people from places like Honduras expire. Hopefully a federal judge can keep Trump's orders at bay until he's out of there. Judges are all that stand between Trump and all the racist, xenophobic stuff he wants to do.

And guess what this administration's sleeper win is? Federal judicial appointments, baby. More in a year than Obama got done in eight.

Packing the courts and so much more. Unmitigated disaster this is. That jackass gets to thrive while people like Prince are just snatched away from us.
