MGB:_The Senate deal should still go through, regardless of the Trump-Miller publicity stunt, which is a back track of Trump’s own remarks about Dreamers, who he thought was a larger univese than DACA. Whether he is really that much of an idiot or just plays one on TV to pander to his base is only known to his staff, but the latest book seems to indicate that he is that dumb, although his doctor’s note show he may just be badly informed. If he is not badly informed, he is simply evil. We should not let him get away with it and pass the Senate compromise anyway.
This whole issue relates back to MSW’s piece on Universalism last week and why going after identity politics issues is essential. Immigration is an identity politics issue. Again, see Leo Casey’s Article in Dissent Magazine for Winter. The link is posted on my wall. African countries are an identity politics issue. You can’t get the big stuff unless you address this stuff, because they are all part of the same authoritarianism. The fact is, DACA is a crack in the wall that keeps migrant workers illegal and therefore deportable if they insist on decent wages, safe working conditions and unions. It is all part of the same whole. Our chicken nuggets and orange juice may be a bit pricier with worker justice, but to accept the status quo for cheaper food is siply sinful.
Another crack in the wall were the Saldvadorans, Hondurans and Hatians, who had legal status so could not be exploited. Capitalism has no use for them and they were only admitted because the USA had messed up their nations in its anti-communism under Reagan. I suspect someone with a grudge is pushing this from below or from the outside. I wonder who? Even if we never know, God does. If that person is not an atheist than they are a fool because causing such injustice cannot gain one the kingdom of Heaven. The same goes for Trump and any of his supporters who have half a brain.
