From the top down to the streets, other white men will be hunting people who look a certain way, taking phone calls and false witness reports of neighbors minding their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of sheer hatred under the glory of power, the plan is put into place that has all the logistical answers with the haste of foolishness, but lack common-sense. This will ignite not only protest around the country, where protesters will faceoff with local law enforcement empowered with military grade weapons, but will ignite small street battles between neighbors, militia men and immigrant resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, this is the dumbest plan ever, that will bring nothing but confusion, fear and violence in the long run. It is a plan that only hateful people can conjure up in the darkness of their wicked minds on their beds at night. It is a plan that ignores the future of the economy and the greed of corporations that depend on cheap labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut the pitch for rapid-fire deportations includes a slew of suggestions that appear to ignore key facets of the nation\u2019s complex immigration laws, according to three former immigration and government officials who reviewed the proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also ignores the fact that immigration could have been handled years ago through more logical and bipartisan legislation by any president who took humanity into consideration instead of fantasies of cruelty. \u201cIn order to save the U.S. economy, the nation has to eject as many of these illegal aliens as quickly as possible, they wrote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is their plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hate and recklessness is breaking through this administration and will reap the appropriate response.
