Remember those awful pictures of illegal alien children in detention? The photos surfaced recently but they were from 2014 -- when Obama the Mistake was president. Lefties blamed President Trump.
Now lefties are blaming President Trump for another policy that belonged to Obama. To be fair, the policy stretched back to George H.W. Bush.
The Washington Post reported, "U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question."
This policy stemmed from a scam in which midwives certified Mexican babies as being born in the USA.
"The government alleges that from the 1950s through the 1990s, some midwives and physicians along the Texas-Mexico border provided U.S. birth certificates to babies who were actually born in Mexico. In a series of federal court cases in the 1990s, several birth attendants admitted to providing fraudulent documents," the Post reported.
So a quarter of a century ago, Mexican midwives admitted in court to birth fraud. There is no question about the citizenship of these people. They are Mexican.
The Post cited a State Department statement that applicants “who have birth certificates filed by a midwife or other birth attendant suspected of having engaged in fraudulent activities, as well as applicants who have both a U.S. and foreign birth certificate, are asked to provide additional documentation establishing they were born in the United States.
"Individuals who are unable to demonstrate that they were born in the United States are denied issuance of a passport."
They have to provide additional documentation, which seems fair. A birth certificate issued by a perjurer is invalid.
But the open borders Marxists are using this as a rallying cry in their resistance to the 2016 election. They do not like the outcome, and so they refuse to accept it.
And so they play this game that President Trump is mean.
Three years of the media's name-calling and the lies and misleading stories since he announced his candidacy have squandered their credibility.
Another losing hand being played by the leftists.
ReplyDeleteIf I had wanted a nice guy as POTUS I would have voted for Ben Carson.
ReplyDeleteWhat would prevent a midwife in Caracas from doing the same thing? Who’s in charge of the INS right now? Would Congress get off its ass on this?
ReplyDeleteAnd so they play this game that President Trump is mean.
ReplyDeleteIt only works with those soft-hearted, soft-headed tolerant, compassionate Antifa types.
Everybody else loves the guy.
An intelligent policy on an immigration-related issue that goes back to one of the failed Bush administrations? Huh. Who'd a thunk that?

These actions (denying passports, stripping citizenship, rendering ppl stateless) are what you see in countries notorious for perpetrating abuses against their own people, especially religious and ethnic minorities. Can it happen here? It can and is.

The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown on their citizenship. http://wapo.st/2PNIf68

DeleteFake News lying again! Here's Ron DeSantis full quote @TheLastRefuge2 "The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases bankrupting the state. That is not going to work,"
DeleteAlmost 50 years ago DJTrump told Ed Koch who was at the time the Mayor of "The Greatest City in the World" (Just ask Ed) when Ed asked "How'my Doin'?" exactly how he thought how Ed was doin. DJTrump was just a businessman in NYC at the time, and he was being mean to a politician.
ReplyDeleteSTOP THE PRESSES:Donald Trump is mean.

Next question?
A federal judge will soon put a stop to this: 5, 4, 3, ...
