intent counts...not only what you do, but why you do it....
was trump going to release all those people onto the streets of those cities because he knew those cities had facilities to deal with them? because he thought it would be the best place for them to go to await their trials? because they would feel at home in cities that had opened their arms to other immigrants and refugees?
or did trump want to release all those people into those cities to put an enormous strain on their already over used facilities?
was he trying to help anyone? or was he trying to "teach them a lesson" for not doing what trump wants them to do?
for openly defying his racist hateful wishes? i'm not a fan of illegal immigration, but these people ar mostly following the rules, they come here, and do what they're required to do at the border, then they await their trials...that's what the law requires them, AND trump...to do...so they are not illegal immigrants, they are people in legal limbo waiting to find out their futures...and i'm sure trump playing with their lives like game tokens makes them all so very eager to keep following the law...which apparently means less to our own president than it does to immigrants trying to find a better life....
and before you start with the shit about "they never show up for those trials"....
