The states of California, New York, Colorado, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts — all Dem strongholds and sanctuary states — have all pledged to oppose Donald Trump’s initiatives on . . . . . EVERYTHING.
What initially started with an effort to “Trump-proof” California by Governor Newsom has now become a coordinated though embryonic effort.
In reality, it is at its core an attempt to forestall deporting 20-25,000,000 illegal aliens in the United States. It is all about illegal immigration and deportation of illegal aliens.
There will also be a lot of talk about the Trump admin rolling back regulations — climate and water quality being the stalking horses — that these blue strongholds adore, but believe me, it’s all about immigration — illegal immigration and deporting illegal aliens.
Who’s in charge here, Big Red Car?
Tom Homan, the new Border Czar, is committed to deporting every single illegal alien in the country. He’s a bulldog of a man who came into the immigration racket at the flick of President Obama’s pen.Yes, Obama’s guy.
Donald J Trump, President-elect, has pledged to shut off the border by returning to his original “remain in Mexico” policy, finishing The Wall, and using the military — upon the declaration of a national emergency — to facilitate mass deportation.
Who’s getting deported, Big Red Car?
Right now there are two major groups targeted for immediate deportation:
1. Approxiumately 1,000,000 convicted criminals — murderers, rapists, violent persons, many in jail right now
2. Illegal aliens with a final order of deportation in hand after failing their “credible fear” interview and the subsequent court hearing on their case. — approximately 2,000,000 additional illegal aliens currently loose in the country
That is a total of 3,000,000 illegal aliens who can be culled tomorrow.
Who is this Tom Homan character, Big Red Car?
Tom Homan — former cop, immigration officer, political commentator — was appointed in 2013 by then President Barack Obama to the post of Executive Associate Director of Enforcement/Removal — you could call him Obama’s Deportation Czar.
Homan was so good at his job that in 2015 President Obama awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive, saying, “Thomas Homan deports people. And he’s really good at it.”
Who’s leading The Resistance?
It’s the likely suspects, amigos:
Governor of California, Gavin Newsom
Governor of Illinois, John Robert “JB” Pritzker
Governor of Colorado, Jared Polis
Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul
Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy
It is worth noting that much of the “resistance” will take place in courtrooms and while the governors receive much of the spotlight, it is really the Attorneys General of these sanctuary states that will do the heavy lifting.
Bottom line it, Big Red Car, getting a haircut and a wax this afternoon
OK, dear reader. The Washington Post waited until Inauguration Day to announce the impending impeachment of Donald J Trump.
Impeachment will not be an issue for some time for Trump 2.0 as the Senate and House are controlled by the Republicans.
The hard blue states are not even waiting until T 2.0 is in office to begin the Resistance Movement.
Honestly, this will make the Trump administration’s job easier. It will be political suicide to oppose the deportation of criminals and those who have had a full chance at making their case and failed.
But, hey, what the Hell do I really know anyway? I’m just a Big Red Car. Be well, amigos.
