OUR IMMIGRATION NATION

Nearly 20 more immigration judges were notified last week that their positions were being terminated, impacting courts in states including my state, California, as well as New York and Florida. This marks the highest number of firings within a single month since February as part of the dismantling of those judges that might be showing compassion to refugees.
 
This mounting vacancies in the immigration courts impacts case backlogs, with hearings now pushed out farther than 2028 – leaving families and individuals in citizen status limbo.
{Remember also that immigration judges are NOT part of our judicial system but appointed by DHS as ‘quasi-judges’ with the power to remove people from the u.s.ofa.}
 
Nearly 100,000 – that’s ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND – military veterans presently living in the u.s. are NOT citizens. {Remember we recruited poor people from looted and occupied countries, promising them citizenship in exchange for their bodies on the line in our wars against Iraq and Afghanistan – a promise that has been flaunted whenever we’ve needed foreign bodies to fight our wars.}
 
More than 100 children who are u.s.ofa. citizens have been left stranded without their parents because of tRump’s immigration policies: and stranded at school, or in or near their parent’s car, on the street or at a store, at home – from wherever their parents were snatched in front of them or not.

ENCOUNTERING THE MAGA OTHER

I have my first lengthy discussion this morning as I’m preparing to get on the road again. As I walk to the bathroom and back again, I notice a friendly-appearing older white man watching me. When I get into my truck, he walks by the driver’s side, still smiling affably, continues down the sidewalk and then returns.

I can’t immediately tell if he’s a shallow salesperson-friendly or a genuine friendly.

SILENCE IS not GOLDEN

I’m too tired from my early morning awakening, my fuel hose repair task, and the past few days preparing – always challenging getting ready for a prolonged road trip – to drive for very long. I try to drive until at least dusk to take the temperature of those traveling north along my beaten path.

I realize I was expecting some kind of strong reaction one way or the other
