Good News: Interior Deportations Under Trump Are Surging

By William Teach October 8, 2017 – 8:18 am

We can call this the Trump Effect On Illegal Immigration. Deportations from those caught crossing the border have declined, as fewer attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border because of the harsh measures Team Trump has implemented (meaning they are enforcing the laws on the books), which includes catching and deporting illegals already in the country

(Washington Post) Deportations from the interior of the United States are rising under President Trump as the administration expands enforcement from the U.S.-Mexico border and into immigrant communities deeper inside the country.

From Jan. 22 to Sept. 9, officials deported nearly 54,000 immigrants from the interior, a 34 percent increase over the same period last year, and said that they expect the numbers to climb.

That is excellent news, and highlights President Trump giving ICE the green light to do the job they are told to do by duly passed federal laws, rather than restricting them, as we saw under Obama. And it helps to have someone directing ICE, Thomas Homan, who is happy to do the job.

The article then deflects into California declaring itself a sanctuary state, which writer Maria Sacchetti thinks is some sort of major blow, failing to realize that ICE will simply arrest illegals in the streets, and, really, wherever they want, regardless of whether California law enforcement and prison services have been directed to not help. And the article discusses some other things illegal immigration. It’s like Maria either had to fill the story out or just wanted to throw the whole sink in. Then we get to the part about Obama deporting upwards of 200,000 interior illegals per year from 2008-2011, before Obama decided to cut this as much as possible, directing ICE to not do their jobs in full, and empowering sanctuary cities to resist.

Trump’s critics say immigration agents are portraying hard-working immigrants as criminals and destabilizing their communities, making immigrants afraid to report crimes or even venture outside.

They are criminals, as they are unlawfully present, and they should actually have communities in the U.S. to start with.

Although the Trump administration’s chief goal is to deport criminals, it is still expelling significant numbers of people who never committed any crimes. From January to Sept. 9, ICE deported a total of 142,818 immigrants from the border and the U.S. interior, including 83,254 people who were criminals and 59,564 who were not.

They’re all criminals. Interestingly, Maria ends with this little stat

Federal records show that 92 percent of the 97,482 immigrants arrested this year for deportation have been convicted of a crime, have charges pending, were immigration fugitives or had been previously deported.

Huh. And none should be in the United States to start with.

Swedish Aid Chief: We Can Totally Learn From Indigenous People On ‘Climate Change’ To Live Like It’s 1499 Or Something

By William Teach October 7, 2017 – 10:30 am

It’s funny how people who benefit heavily from a modern lifestyle, made possible in part by fossil fuels, want to roll back society (for Other People, of course)

Learn from indigenous people to fight climate change, says Swedish aid chief

With generations of experience conserving land and forests, indigenous people’s knowledge about climate change could help inform decisions at next month’s United Nations climate talks, but their environmental wisdom is often ignored.

The head of Sweden’s international development agency said that must change – and climate change negotiators should learn from indigenous people.

“Indigenous people often live and work from forests, land and water in different ways and they use them in a sustainable way because they need to survive,” Carin Jämtin told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

“That’s why we must use the knowledge of those who know how to sustainably use nature,” she said during a conference on indigenous land rights in Stockholm this week.

Besides being incredibly patronizing, it’s typical climastupidity. Ms. Jamtin is basically positioning indigenous people as being backwards, back to nature folks living like it’s hundreds of years ago.

But, hey, perhaps they could educate all the Warmist leaders about the hypocrisy of taking tons of fossil fueled trips to places like Bonn, Germany, to complain about Other People using fossil fuels.

ICE To Sanctuary State California: You Bet We’re Going To Be Doing More Neighborhood Raids

By William Teach October 7, 2017 – 7:34 am

You could have seen this coming a mile away, once California Governor Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown signed the sanctuary state bill

(Sacramento Bee) The Trump administration’s immigration chief warned Friday that his agents will be making more arrests in California neighborhoods and workplaces because Gov. Jerry Brown signed a “sanctuary state” law.

Tom Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Brown’s decision to sign Senate Bill 54, which offers more protections for unauthorized immigrants, undermines public safety and hinders his department from performing its federally mandated mission, adding that “the governor is simply wrong when he claims otherwise.”

SB 54 “will inevitably result in additional collateral arrests, instead of focusing on arrests at jails and prisons where transfers are safer for ICE officers and the community,” Homan warned.

Arresting illegals in safe places like courthouses would have been the smarter move for California, as well as allowing ICE to take the illegals into custody at jails. Now? We’ll surely see more Outrage when ICE tags illegals at their homes and other places more often. And, this being Homan, who is a hardliner (meaning he respects the Law) on illegal immigration, he will direct ICE agents to be move visible to send a message, which Trump will approve of. Homan had wanted to avoid neighborhood sweeps, but, now he and ICE are put in a place where they need to be conducted.

(Senate President Pro Tem Kevin) De León, speaking at a rally for the bill Thursday in Los Angeles, also acknowledged it would not stop ICE from “trolling our streets,” or provide “full” sanctuary for unauthorized immigrants.

“The Trump administration is once again making heavy-handed threats against California because we won’t help them tear apart families and our economy in the process,” de León said in a statement Friday responding to Homan. “The acting ICE director’s inaccurate statement exemplifies the fear-mongering and lies that guide this administration.”

Let’s unpack that: De Leon is saying that law and order is a bad thing, that allowing people who have committed crimes and are unlawfully present in the United States to be arrested is a bad thing, that illegal aliens should be placed over the needs of lawful citizens.

Referring to another bill Brown signed, Senate Bill 29, which restricts the ability to contract with ICE for detention facilities, Homan said, “ICE will also likely have to detain individuals arrested in California in detention facilities outside of the state, far from any family they may have in California.”

If California is looking for someone to Blame, they should look to their elected officials. Said officials should consider that they, and the people who work for California, at places like jails, could find themselves on the wrong side of federal law for things like sheltering and harboring illegal aliens, for providing aid and comfort.

Unhinged Hat Snatching Snowflake To Soon Get Special Lesson On Legal System

By William Teach October 7, 2017 – 7:15 am

If you haven’t seen the amazing video of Special Snowflake Edith Macias taking the MAGA hat from Matthew Vitale’s head and then ranting on about this and that and the other, it should be watched. It’s an education in the mindset of the entitled Special Snowflakes who are Offended and demand that people have their 1st Amendment Rights taken away over it. Edith could soon get an different type of education

(Fox News) A college student in California who says he was assaulted by a classmate for wearing a ‘MAGA’ hat on campus said he plans to file criminal charges against his attacker.

Matthew Vitale, a member of the University of California, Riverside Republicans, said he was “stunned” when classmate Edith Macias snatched his “Make America Great Again” hat from his head during a campus meeting.

Vitale alerted authorities after the incident but declined to press charges because campus police told him it would only be a misdemeanor. But then Macias posted a bizarre, profanity-laced “SnatchAHat” video online, which eventually went viral, that showed her physically removing the hat from his head – and then verbally attacking him for promoting “genocide.” By showing that she took it off his person, the crime rose to the level of felony, Vitale said campus police told him.

Free speech doesn’t cover felony theft. And Vitale is going to press charges

“Honestly, this isn’t me trying to get revenge on her,” he told Todd Starnes during a Fox News Radio interview, “this is me just trying to say: ‘Look, behavior like this is not tolerated in this country. There are individual rights and individual freedoms that we are granted as per the constitution, that everybody’s granted. It doesn’t matter what your beliefs are.’”

There’s nothing wrong with getting “revenge” on her for stealing his property while wearing it, refusing to give it back, and going on a deranged Snowflake rant accusing him of things like genocide for wearing a hat. She screeches in the video “Look at the kind of sh*t he’s wearing, You know what this represents? This represents genocide—genocide of a bunch of people.”

Lunatic supporters started a Statement Of Solidarity With Edith Macias, which is as nutty as you’d expect. Perhaps seeing Edith charged with a felony will give them a glimpse into how the Real World works and changed their behavior? Probably not. They’ve been trained to be Unhinged Snowflakes.

The statement also claims that Macias has been “doxxed” and “harassed,” and they demand the university pay Macias’ rent, grant her amnesty, cover her legal fees, condemn white supremacist violence, and support a sanctuary campus.

Furthermore, Edith started a GoFundMe page asking for rent money, because she’s obviously the victim here, which is what the Statement of Solidarity also makes clear. Trump supporters have been answering the call, letting her know that Trump supporters donating.

As for the university? They went the squishy route

“The university stands very strongly for free speech and its protections, and for a congenial dialogue on campus,” university spokesman John Warren said. “The students on our campus have used this episode to affirm their support for free expression, and a productive exchange of ideas.”

Not once did they come out as being against theft because someone is Offended.

More Details Emerge On Repeal Of Obama’s “Clean Power Plan”

By William Teach October 6, 2017 – 3:56 pm

Team Trump seems utterly serious about killing the horrendous executive over-reach

(Washington Post)  The Trump administration plans to scrap former president Barack Obama’s signature plan for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions from the nation’s power plants, arguing that the previous administration overstepped its legal authority, according to a 43-page proposal obtained by The Washington Post.

The proposal, which is expected to be made public over the coming days, comes months after President Trump issued a directive instructing the Environmental Protection Agency to begin rewriting the controversial 2015 regulation, known as the Clean Power Plan, as part of a broader effort to obliterate his predecessor’s efforts to make combating climate change a top government priority.

In a copy of the proposed repeal, first reported by Bloomberg News, the EPA does not offer an alternative plan for regulating emissions of carbon dioxide, which the Supreme Court has ruled that the agency is obligated to do. Rather, the agency said it plans to seek public input on how best to cut emissions from natural-gas and coal-fired power plants.

First, the Supreme Court did not rule that the EPA was obligated to regulate carbon dioxide output, it (erroneously) stated that the EPA could do this under existing law. Second, any executive order/regulation can be done away with/changed when it is not specifically called for by Congressional legislation.

The Clean Power Plan directed every state to form detailed plans to reduce CO2 emissions from such sources as coal-fired power plants, with the goal of decreasing carbon pollution by about one-third by 2030, compared with 2005 levels. But the regulation has been a lightning rod since its inception.

Interestingly, no states, especially the Warmist led ones, have actually come up with viable plans that have submitted to the EPA at this time, as required. There are a bunch of “we’re thinking abouts”, and a few, like California, are going there own way. But no real plans. Except for the non-Warmist states, which said “piss off” and “our plan is to sue” and did.

So much of the dictatorial stain of Obama is being washed away.

New Blade Runner Gives ‘Climate Change’ A Starring Role

By William Teach October 6, 2017 – 10:30 am

Instead of just making a great movie to follow up with the original, one of the great all time science fiction movies, based on the story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick, they decided to give it a Message, guaranteeing lower box office draws

(Washington Examiner)  The sequel to the 1982 science-fiction classic “Blade Runner,” which opens nationwide Friday, looks to give climate change a starring role, according to official summaries and timelines released by the film’s production house.

Set 30 years in the future from the original film’s 2019 setting, “Blade Runner 2049” shows an Earth devastated by the ravages of climatic shifts in temperature and sea-level rise, which has plunged large chunks of Los Angeles into the Pacific Ocean.

The film’s website says L.A. has been forced to erect a colossal sea wall around the remaining parts of the city. By the looks of it, the wall also generates electricity through a complex hydropower conduit and wave-power system. (snip)

The film also looks at contemporary ideas of replacing cattle and sheep farming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by limiting industrial-scale animal processing. It’s an idea that has grown in popularity in Europe, where restaurants offer insect protein as a substitute to beef, lamb, and chicken.

The Examiner does say this, though

As far as the film’s politics, “Blade Runner 2049” does not appear to be trying to make a statement on climate change. Like the first film, it offers only enough explanation to drive the story. The rest is left to the viewer to interpret.

In other words, they’ll probably yammer about it in the early part of the film, and in interviews about the film, and ruin it. I’ll wait till it’s at Red Box now.
