So between that deportation story and the woman who couldn't get a temporary Visa to attend her son's (a Navy vet) funeral, I'm all sorts of ragey this morning.

I’m sick over that deportation. That guy is as American as I am. It’s particularly striking to me as he’s only a year older than me and if I think about my life since I was ten, yeah, this is my country and it’s his too.

Yeah, Madame Secretary, the Section 11 report IS chilling. Let's compare it to the report on gun violence.

So we have a lot of guys that fly here from our Denver office. Last week one of them was able to get through security at DIA with a pretty damn big pocket knife, with clear/precheck. I personally got through with a full can of mace in my airport. I dont think TSA is all that and a bag of chips

DHS is 'fully engaged' in the recovery efforts in Puerto Rico. STOP laughing as well as other areas affected by hurricanes and the california wildfires.
She hopes to make sure that they can re-authorize the DHS

Grassely Construction of a wall is not sufficient to control the border alone? Are changes needed to legal authorities to apprehend, deport?
KN We need to close loopholes, dhs needs to be able to quickly apprehend and remove (so much for that whole due process thing)

Grassely brings up the killings of two citizens on dangerous criminal aliens (his words and yes its icky to type) He says collegues say its unfair to bring the DACA kids into that (which yes it is) Is it fair to their memories to allow dangerous criminals free KN no we need to relook at loopholes (if it werent 8 am I would be drunk bingoing this word), we need ability to remove once we detain.

I cannot imagine sending my child alone to a country. How horrible do your living conditions have to be to do that? And these people think they're coming here for abortions and/or to be a dangerous criminal.

KN gives lip service to a permanent solution to DACA.
We can only give amnesty to 690K people already in the program, but everyone else is fucked. Because we dont want to incentivize others to come here.

I'm not diagnosing anyone with anything, but as the parent of a child on the spectrum, I feel every muscle in my body tense when I see him being photographed. Being on a red carpet it an itchy tux with people shouting his name and flashbulbs going off in his face would be an absolute nightmare for my kid. And Barron looks*very* uncomfortable. Whether he's sensory, or just shy, it just wants to be a regular kid, I feel for him I see the same thing. My sn kid and my nt one would freak at the noise and cameras. You're not alone. Someone in my office works on special education issues and apparently the "gossip" in that field was that he (Mel) opted to stay in New York for the first year because of the SN services he was receiving.

And these people think they're coming here for abortions and/or to be a dangerous criminal. As an aside, this reminds me of the debate in Germany about family reunification for Syrian refugees. Right-wing people are like, "If things are so bad there, they wouldn't have left their wife and kids there in the first place." Sigh. Anyway, bigots will be bigots regardless of the country. Back to our regularly scheduled program...

DIFi Asks about separating parents and children at border.
KN TVPRA we have to follow protocols, we always want to make sure young children are with someone (legally) they can only detain a child for 20 days once we release a child we release the parents.
DF how big a problem is this KN UAC is a big problem (30% increase since Oct)they will turn the child over to HHS after 72 hours and they take over. 90% they release dont show up to court after release.
Which is funny because she said she didnt have figures
KN Kids need protection but should not get anything additional. they get 'two bites of the apple already" Children can claim asylum. Ummm how is a 4 year old supposed to claim asylum.
I'm really really fucking angry at her
