Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) are demanding swift action to protect transgender migrants attempting to enter the United States. In an eight-page letter to Trump administration officials, the senators implore the administration to reverse immigration policies they consider harmful to transgender migrants and other vulnerable populations. The policies they want reversed? All of them! The populations they consider vulnerable? All of them!
"We write to express alarm over reports detailing the abuse and neglect of trans gender migrants and asylum seekers at the border and in U.S. custody," the letter states. "We ask you to immediately reverse policies that harm these vulnerable individuals and take swift action to protect the health and safety of transgender migrants." The senators then call for "alternatives to detention, including release from detention on recognizance, parole, and community-based alternatives to incarceration."
Recognizance is codeword for "catch and release," the losing bargain immigration authorities make when they release migrants, who promise to appear at their immigration hearings but frequently fail to show up . And what "community-based alternatives to incarceration" might the senators have in mind? My guess is the community-based policy known as a sanctuary city, which is where local officials jeopardize the public's safety by refusing to cooperate with federal authorities.
And I thought trans people were being murdered in the United States? At least that's what the trans activist who stole the microphone at CNN's "Equality Town Hall" kept shouting. Now, according to trans experts Sen. Warren and Sen. Baldwin, the safest place for trans people everywhere is the United States of America.
But not in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), of course. The letter takes ICE to task for failing to adequately protect trans individuals in their detention facilities. "Reports describe horrendous conditions in immigration detention that effectively punish people for their gender identity and gender expression," the letter states. For the senators, ICE's most important job is to make sure the migrants can express their gender identities when trying to immigrate to the United States.
The senators also have a problem with the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico policy," requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico while their asylum requests are being processed. "There has been ample documentation of the violence and harassment of transgender individuals in Mexico, often at the hands of state actors."
The letter then gives an example of a transgender woman whose finger was cut off by a cartel member in Mexico, which is pretty lucky considering the cartel is known for cutting off people's heads.
“The letter then gives an example of a transgender woman whose finger was cut off by a cartel member in Mexico”
Yet another reason to build the wall!
Whatever happened to, “It’s for the children”?
Why are they upset about President Trump? After all, he’s exactly what they have been promising to the folks: “Change you can believe in.”
If they are willing to cut off their penis, what is the big deal about losing a finger?
And that story sounds like BS anyway. The cartel would have ‘transgendered’ them, not just taken a finger.
Still waiting for them to propose helping normal American citizens.
Yes push them back over the border so they can go back to their own communities.
After all, lots of them get murdered here in the USA.
Because a positive attitude towards the LGBTQ movement among the young is down from 60 to 40 percent the past 2 years.
That’s a GOOD thing and they want to DESTROY our youth.
They have NEVER been for the children.
I can’t say I’m the most devout person around but even I can see they are working for the devil and sending him too many souls to know what to do with.
Trump may be turning that around and so every evil force must align against him.
And we must side with him.
I am amazed the Democrats haven’t focused on the transgender midget crisis yet.
Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
Left-handed lesbian trans migrants.
Do you think anyone would miss them if they disappeared? Pig food?
Problem is though, snl doesn’t see anything wrong with this.
When she gets to the leper colony in Borneo and their rights as non citizens of the United states call me. Unbelievable!
In a three word open letter to both Senator's .. Mister Moonlight states: "Take a Hike"
“That ought to get her another 15 votes...”
And lose a couple of million.
_________
For transgressing the border?
__________
..... agreed.
What about three legged midgets from mars
Sick of this crap.
Pills, surgery, does not change biology.
People can identify however they want.
People can live in perpetual la la land.
People can also accept the consequences of their behavior and pay their own damn bills and not expect preferential treatment.
Trans migrants will turn out to be the critical voting bloc in 2020....</sarcasm>
