A Notion of Immigrants 0

The Des Moines Register’s Rekha Basu highlights the hypocrisy of Donald Trump’s fear mongering about those from foreign shores. Here’s a tiny bit:

Recall that as president, Trump launched an effort to strip citizenship from even naturalized U.S. citizens and deport them if they’d ever used a fake ID to get in. But he’s willing to ignore the fraudulent documents reportedly allowed by his CEO of Trump Media, former California congressman Devin Nunes, to employ undocumented immigrants on his family’s Iowa farm. A 2018 Esquire story lays that out.

Follow the link for a link to the Esquire story and more Trumpian hypocrisy (of which there seems an unending supply).

“Childless Cat Ladies” 0

At the San Francisco Chronicle, a self-proclaimed childless dog lady responds. Here’s a tiny bit from her article:

The folks at the Heritage Foundation might call childless pet owners like me selfish (or in Vance’s words, “sociopaths”), but it’s all projection.

There is truth in the idea that the United States isn’t supportive of families, but the solution isn’t to ban contraceptives and abortion or defund support systems for single mothers, as Roberts and his colleagues would do. Absurdly, the right-wing approach presupposes that a policy of forced birthing is preferable to bettering the lives of the people alive now through expanded educational and work opportunities, strict gun control to end school shootings, ample and paid parental leave and subsidized childcare.
