    Good to know you guys really love your Constitution over there. I mean, after all, it's the foundation of your exemplary democracy, I can't imagine anyone would ever violate it. I'm sure everyone is just as fervent about upholding its amendments equally, right? I mean, the 2nd is just as important as the 4th, right?

    Speaking as half of a young professional White couple that had the misfortune of traveling through Texas with California plates; I got some real bad news for you.

    Yes, you read that correctly. A Harvard freshman had their visa revoked and was deported because some of the people they were friends with on social media said things critical of the United STates.

    Edit - If anyone is wondering about the thread title change it isn't a joke. If local governments / law enforcement are operating at that level of racial profiling, I'm considering it actually dangerous to travel through those states.

    I don't disagree in the slightest and the response I've been getting in the Gun Control thread for saying "Hey, minorities use weapons in self defense a lot and have historically to great effect in hostile conditions." is fuckin' wild. There is basically a mostly cold civil war happening down here and in the PNW right now; and law enforcement is a lot more infiltrated down here than it is up there.

    Can you summarize, if you don't mind? I tend to stay out of gun control threads.

    As do I.

    But I doubt that'll happen. Outside of maybe a few examples being set, the very worst I can see is most of those provably intentionally in the wrong will probably be "asked" to resign, with no further consequence. Those standing by, or "just following orders", will probably at worst get a minor ding in their personal file.

    I hope I'm wrong, but outside of the slim to none chance ICE gets abolished (and even then, I can see a large number of ex-ICE joining whatever governmental division ends up with a quasi-similar role), I can't see anyone facing consequence, except for the appointed positions (who'll shift to conservative welfare), because that's just the way shit goes. Any attempt to do further is going to be described as partisan, and I can't see Democrats having the nerve to call bullshit on that.

    Oh. Oops.

    Anyway, my question was on the "cold civil war" remark, not the gun control aspect.

    You say this but the reality is he’ll definitely blame liberals if a blue state/Puerto Rico gets hit but if a red state does they’ll make a big fuss about needing to support them but still never actually give them money/support (e.g.) Florida Panhandle.

    Dorian is going to hit Puerto Rico as a tropical storm today. Between Trump's racism and incompetence it's impossible to tell if the timing of this is coincidental or intentional, but that doesn't really matter I guess.

    ICE ran out of money [again], so the timing is probably a coincidence.

    Removing all moral and ethical transgressions from consideration, the simple fact that ICE consistently runs out of money before the end of the year should be cause enough to shut it down and redistribute it's responsibilities to agencies who know how to budget for them.

    It's an embarrassment that this kind of behavior by a President, probably won't even make the evening news.
    When aides have suggested that some orders are illegal or unworkable, Trump has suggested he would pardon the officials if they would just go ahead, aides said. He has waved off worries about contracting procedures and the use of eminent domain, saying “take the land,” according to officials who attended the meetings.

    Don’t worry, I’ll pardon you,” he has told officials in meetings about the wall.

    To be honest, if Trump told me "Don't worry, I'll do [x] to help you out if you do illegal [y]" I wouldn't trust him to actually help me out on anything, and seems I'm not the only one.

    Trump's started ordering his people to unilaterally seize land and break the law as needed to get his wall built, saying he'll just pardon them anyway if they're convicted of anything.

    I can think of a few ways. All wildly illegal, and spectacularly stupid.

    1) He's still got troops down there for Operation Sitting-On-Ass-Waiting-For-Invasion, no? Use them.
    2) Call Betsy's brother, and have him lead that operation.
    3) Authorize construction crews to enlist armed guards.

    It'd be the dumbest fucking thing he's done so far (and that's a low bar to crawl under), so, what, coinflip odds he tries?

    So joke aside, we're actually in the middle of a crises where we have people in government insisting that the Constitution only applies to US citizens (despite the wording declaring otherwise).

    If true, is that even a matter of government policy or is it actually just a straight constitutional issue? Like, can the government even make the decision?

    If that's what this means, there's gonna be some major court cases either way.

    Jus Sanguinis still applies. Of course, if you were 18 when you joined and got shipped overseas real quick and your wife was, say, a foreign national you met while deployed, well then your kid isn't a US citizen.
