Well, Donny T. is ending the DACA program. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Did people really think he'd keep this program going? I sure didn't. My issue with the immigration system in the US is that it isn't fair. If you're going to crack down on people in the country illegally whether they crossed a border or overstayed a visa, then do it across the board. Everyone goes. Europeans, Australians, Africans, Mexicans, South Americans, Icelanders, whatever. But we all know the system doesn't work that way. I guarantee if the majority of immigrants in the country illegally were from Sweden or Norway or England (and white, of course), there would be no outcry about them being in the country. Many moons ago, I did immigration work for a university and it was interesting to see the limits set on the number of student visas from China and Africa. The same limits weren't set for students coming from many European countries. Yes, I understand there are more students looking to come to the US from continents like Asia and Africa, but why not put everyone on an equal playing field?
In other news, I read that Hillary is blaming Bernie (at least partially) for her campaign loss in her new book. Give it up, Hill! Accept responsibility that you f'd up. Bernie didn't cause you to lose. You ran a bad campaign, you had no message to motivate people, and the DNC strong-armed everyone who ran against you to give you an unfair advantage, a move that alienated many people (and not just Bernie supporters). I really hope in the next presidential election, the Democrats will nominate someone who can truly win and not someone who feels it's his or her time to try and grab the brass ring.
