Not just 'bad hombres': Trump is targeting up to 8 million people for deportation
by Brian Bennett 2-4-17
When President Trump
ordered a vast overhaul of immigration law enforcement during his first
week in office, he stripped away most restrictions on who should be
deported, opening the door for roundups and detentions on a scale not
seen in nearly a decade.
Up to 8 million people in the country illegally could be considered priorities for deportation, according to calculations by the Los Angeles Times. They were based on interviews with experts who studied the order and two internal documents that signal immigration officials are taking an expansive view of Trump’s directive.
Far from targeting only “bad hombres,” as Trump has said repeatedly, his new order allows immigration agents to detain nearly anyone they come in contact with who has crossed the border illegally. People could be booked into custody for using food stamps or if their child receives free school lunches.
-don't bother, it's the same old lefty "that's not who we are" crap-
