Quick look at one of many online petitions blowing up today as local progressive activists gear up for 2020.
Basically . . .
ACTIVISTS FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS & REFUGEES (ILLEGAL ALIENS) DEMAND KANSAS CITY POLITICOS DENY ANY ACCOMMODATION TO DETENTION FACILITIES!!!
Obviously, this is part of organized push back to prevent stricter immigration policy enforcement and temper MAGA 2020 "finish the wall" sentiment with more practical issues about municipal accommodation.
However . . .
This local push back comes at a time when the Prez Trump Administration has threatened to deploy border patrol to sanctuary cities.
Here's the word and a link to the local effort . . .
No Child Detention in KC!
Recently, a company that calls itself Vision Quest has attempted to buy and rent property in Kansas City, Missouri for the purpose of running a for-profit detention center for migrant children.
We, the undersigned, demand no child detention administered by this company or any other in Kansas City.
We call on the City Planning Commission to reject any plans involving the detention migrant youth. Our city and region must continue striving against the demonization of immigrants and resist participating in the separation of families. Any potential detention center would be a stain on the moral fabric of our community.
We stand united and declare immigrants are welcome and families belong together.

Developing . . .
I understand their passion on this one but the issue is a loser. It won't rally Democrats and fires up the GOP base. Immigration has always been a strong linchpin of right wing support.
ReplyDeleteIs a country without borders really even a country?
ReplyDeleteFor profit?
ReplyDeleteJust who do they think is going to pay them?
ReplyDeleteGee these liberals need to take a look at what Obama did. Did he put children in detention and far worse than they are now. YES HE DID! Why now? Because Trump is in office? You dumb scum suckers are the ones who praised the kids being put in detention under Obama but yet when Trump makes holding better for them you protest. BTW holding ILLEGALS is following the letter of the LAW!
In answer to the above post....NO if you have no boarders you have NO COUNTRY!!!!!
When citizens are arrested, their children are not also arrested, but rather placed in foster homes.
ReplyDelete2:01, if we're not the "good guys", who cares? But, yes, it's still a country because a country isn't just the land you've stolen from your neighbors, but an idea - a social contract.
Illegal and detention kind of go together like peanut butter and jelly.
ReplyDeleteBy all means let's give these "welcomed" migrants driver licenses so they can hit and run.
ReplyDeleteAlso include life time temporary tags just like everyone in the hood
DeleteTo 2:03, your tax dollars are paying them just like they do for all private prisons.
ReplyDeleteHow dare you say Obama put children in cages. Obama did no wrong. He was black , got the free pass of excuses , blinders and blame passed to others. Shame on you.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats say nobody is above the law including the president. My question is so why is illegal aliens above the law?
ReplyDeleteOh bLIEron, with that philosophy every square inch of earth has been stolen, and not just by whitey either, give it up dumbass
ReplyDelete^^FTW
ReplyDeleteNationalism is not a dirty word.
ReplyDeleteIt got identified with its four essential elements: Population, Territory, Government and Sovereignty. In the sphere of international relations its four basic credentials Nationalism, Territorial Integrity, Sovereignty and Legal Equality got fully recognized.
We sure are getting a lesson on borders and vetting. Via the Chinese flu.
ReplyDelete^^^ Truth @ 607 ^^^
ReplyDeleteBlyron's just jealous that these kids are in ICE detention cages and not in the cages he built in his basement pedo playroom.
