Rs' awful #immigration plan:
They'd transform how the US deals with ppl already living in the US -lawfully & unlawfully +remake the policy governing ppl coming to the US: ending the protection from deportation that several million ppl have had for years thru DACA, mass detention & deportation campaign targeting every undoc. person in the country (~11M) explicitly modeled on a program from the 1950s known as “Op. Wetback“ -to jail & deport with virtually no due process...

@KimPerales but it all goes to emphasize that these are questions for Congress, not the president, and we need to think harder about the people that we are electing to Congress, who haven't bothered to fix these things.
This stuff should never be up to the executive branch of government. This stuff is to be decided through the democratic process in the legislative branch.
But we keep reelecting numbskulls who don't do their jobs. I guess we're okay with it.
