A Vast
Deference
of
Seminal Vessels
When I first became
aware of the increasingly likely fate of 800,000 DACA recipients I
thought of how heartless it was. I also thought of how
counter-productive and ignorant of history it was. Severing these
young people from the only home they've ever known simply (let's cut
the shit) because they are not “Americans”, white with ancestors
who came were on the Mayflower, is blind to one UN-recusable fact:
Trump, Sessions, Pence, and the rest of the peanut gallery ARE NOT
AMERICANS. Unless one of them has a drop of Native American blood in
them, they are technically in the same boat as the 800,000. (Ben
Carson's ancestors may have arrived here on a different ship.)
Who knows what
circumstances surrounded theses DACA kids' parents initial lack of
documentation. Who knows what guns they were under when they came to
America in haste, possibly at the dead of night. Are they supposed to
be celebrate, banned from procreation, lest their progeny inherits
their misfortune? The DREAM Act was a bipartisan bill sponsored by
senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Orin Hatch (R-UT) in 2001. Its
intended purpose was to provide a pathway to citizenship for
immigrants. Its failure to become law spawned DACA. In 2012 President
Obama introduced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
Yes, technically it is a loophole which allows the offspring of
aliens to call America home, to work here, to reap its ballyhooed
opportunity. The recipients entered the country as minors, and
provides them the chance to work and educate themselves without fear
of deportation. Many are CEOs, captains of industry, immigrants who
have but one strike against them; they are the children of those
illegals, those rapists a drug dealers Trump wants a wall built to
impede. The DACAs may carry a faded mark decades old, from
generations now in their 3rd incarnation.
Sending back, to
lands they never knew, 800,000 DACAs would be a losing situation for
all involved. It would have a negative effect for them obviously, but
also the American economy when they suddenly leave schools, or the
workforce. How about the various countries' acceptance of these
numbers of “refugees?” And I expect that any lingering support
for Trump, save for his “red-meat-I-could-kill-a-guy-on-the-street”
demographic, would disappear very fast. Like most things coming out
of this circus tent on PA Avenue, the idea, the proposal, the idle
threat by a small-thumbing tweeter, is barely baked and impulsive.
Why is this
imbalanced an allowed to operate in government at all? From day one
of his term he has done nothing but display his lack of respect and
fitness for the job. With myriad conflicts of interest, violations in
emoluments rulings, gross negligence of a constitution he swore to
uphold and protect, he is not banished fro the White House. I don't
get that. He did NOT get there fairly. If anything the 2016 election
is a “do over.” John Lewis said it from the start. Trump is a
bogus POTUS, or BOPUS. That was your first clue.
