Why are all white people being asked to pay for some white slave owners? Why are they being punished for the sins of their forefathers? No white person alive now, ever owned slaves, it is illegal. No black person alive now, was ever enslaved, it is illegal.
Are you giving a clean sheet to all white "kids" because slavery was no fault of their own?
Ben Affleck's ancestors were slave owners, does that mean Ben should be punished and have to pay reparations?
>They want to deport kids who have lived in the US their whole lives through no fault of their own.
The interpretation for someone considering crossing border illegally: If you can sneak in with a less than 10 year old child into USA, stay hidden for 5 years or so, you can claim that the kid grew up in USA, is in USA for no fault of her own, and her family of undocumented parents should get to stay as well since USA doesn't want to separate families, which means we are all safe. That's Amnesty for entire family. I would be safe. Totally worth giving lives savings and taking loans to pay the human traffickers, there is risk of death and rape, but after that ordeal we would be safe. May be I will carry some drugs on me to pay for the trip.
Tell me why that interpretation is wrong?
You sympathize with the well-off, but still illegal, DACA recipients in USA. I am concerned about that family in South America starting the journey where enslavement and rape is real certainty.
>Muslim ban
Campaign rhetoric vs. reality. See his Saudi visit. That was a way to explain extreme vetting.
> Civil rights of gay
Trump is the first USA President who came to office while supporting Marriage Equality for gay and lesbian. Hillary and Obama declined Marriage equality for political gains.
I see this as a pure power play: Let me do what I want to do without any questioning, because somebody somewhere somehow, by some interpretation, is being oppressed.
