    Not that this should come as any surprise - at this point should we expect any level of decency, legality or effectiveness from the Trump Administration on the immigration issue anything?

    The only silver lining is, as usual, it's funny to watch Trump supporters watch this type of garbage without a single word.



    Trump administration may soon deport migrants to Libya, U.S. officials say


    The Trump administration may soon start deporting migrants to Libya, expanding its mass deportation campaign to the troubled North African country, two U.S. officials told CBS News Tuesday.

    The deportations, expected to be operated by the U.S. military, could start as early as this week, the officials said, requesting anonymity to discuss internal government plans.

    The possibility of U.S. deportations to Libya, reported earlier Tuesday by Reuters, is a stunning proposition given the deep political and social turmoil the North African country finds itself in, as well as its human rights record.

    "Give me you tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ... so we can sell them to Libya, Rwanda and El Salvador"

    Oh good. More suffering and cruelty so it must be the right thing to do. When people receive an ounce of humanity it makes my life suck. #MAGA

    Hillary and Obama are why there are open-air slave markets for blacks in Libya.

    Seems like illegals in America are being encouraged to self-deport

    I have one thing to say to the POTUS... stop getting advice from Napolitano.

    If the military does NOT want the distractions of a people with a mental disorder then he can rid the military of such people. The POTUS, is the Commander-in- Chief, and is NOT subservient to any judge... nor SCOTUS on that Constitutional right.

    One more thing. It is NOT a right to server... or to get into the military, it's a privilege.

    Since you decided to present it, "Your tired, poor, huddled masses" were coming into NY and going through the legal process of immigration at the time. Doesn't make this right, but not a good comparison.

    BS. The US had restrictive immigration laws dating back to the late 1800's.

    Yes. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Not too many Chinese were entering the US from Ellis Island. The laws limiting those entering from Europe weren't specific to any country. The limited those who were sick and contagious. But if you were healthy, it was basically step off the boat, sign your name, and welcome.

    I think roughly 2% of the people who came through Ellis Island had to return to Europe.

    So I guess Lazarus should have had an asterisk saying unless you are Chinese or gravely ill

    Well, I've seen one MAGA supporter who has let us know that he absolutely doesn't care where these people are sent. We can probably infer that that includes prisons, even though almost none of these people have been found guilty of a crime.

    How does the rest of MAGA feel? OK with sending people to Libya? Not OK? Do you have a sense of morality that this activates in some way, whatever that may be?

    Or is it just "I'm OK with whatever that adulterous felon reality TV host wants to do, no matter what" ?
