Trump Dares to Send Criminal Aliens Back to Their New Home, Down by the (Guantanamo) Bay

 The discussion centers around the Trump administration's policy of detaining illegal immigrants at Guantanamo Bay. Advocates against this policy argue that it is a harmful move towards the treatment of migrants and struggles over their legal rights.

1. Trump’s Memorandum: President Trump directed the expansion of the Migrant Operations Center at Guantanamo Bay to detain what he termed “the worst criminal illegal aliens” to tackle border issues and restore national sovereignty.

2. Historical Context: Guantanamo has been used in past administrations for detaining refugees, including up to 45,000 Haitians and Cubans in the 1990s, with arrangements for large populations of migrants from the mid-2000s.

3. Conditions at Guantanamo: The Government Accountability Office noted that the living conditions for detainees were considered adequate, meeting international inspection guidelines, with access to food, medical care, and recreational activities.

4. Modern Detention Facilities: Current detention facilities like Karnes City offer amenities like libraries and sports fields, and critics argue that these conditions contrast with the experiences of citizens in schools due to budget cuts.

5. Historic Legislation Influence: The focus on humane treatment in detention has roots in recommendations from the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy established in 1978, which emphasized civil rights and immigrant welfare.

6. Debate on Detention Seriousness: The concept of detaining migrant populations is contentious, seen by some as extreme. However, historical perspectives and past government actions support the legality and implementation of such measures.

7. Asylum Process and Legal Views: The legal framework, as outlined in the Immigration and Nationality Act, permits asylum applications but restricts certain criminal aliens. The Supreme Court has clarified that protections are limited to actions occurring within U. S. territory and do not extend to Guantanamo.

8. Sovereignty Issues: Guantanamo Bay is not classified as U. S. territory for the purposes of immigration law. Legal precedents indicate that U. S. control does not equate to sovereignty, leaving the jurisdiction ambiguous.

The controversial decision to use Guantanamo Bay for immigrant detention reflects ongoing tensions about immigration policy in the U. S. while raising questions about human rights, the legal status of such actions, and the implications for asylum seekers. The exchange of opinions regarding these policies highlights a divide on how to manage immigration and care for those seeking refuge or residence in the United States.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
