Remember during this presidential term: When Trump says something vile or incendiary, it's usually to distract from legislation or legal proceedings that he doesn't want people to notice

Interesting that he launched the "Guantanamo Bay for detaining immigrants idea" on the same day that he's trying to appeal his hush money conviction and hired a new legal team. He wants that conviction off his record more than anything. An executive order to deport innocent people to a terrorist camp is absolute cartoon villain behavior and he knows it. It should definitely be addressed head-on. But always, always keep an eye on his lawsuits.

This is also a good rule of thumb for Elon Musk and other figures who rely on their unpredictability to cover their legal issues.

Immigration

 If you’re hoping to use a green card marriage to stay in the U.S, then you might want to watch what you’re posting. The link below is to an article that was posted by an immigration lawyer. The article speaks about this case where a couple got in trouble by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services because the husband’s Facebook page contained photos of him constantly with a woman other than his wife. The USCIS had investigated the husband’s Facebook page and had found the photos. After an intense investigation, they found out the woman was the husband’s actual girlfriend. They realized that the couple hoping to obtain a green card for the wife were not in a real marriage and they denied the couple a green card. If you’re caught trying to pass off a fraud marriage as real you can face huge fines and even jail time. With the high risks involved you’d think people wouldn’t be willing to try to pass off a fraud marriage as real. However, that just goes to show you how desperate they are to escape the life they already have. Sometimes I think that when you’re born into a life of privilege you forget how lucky you truly are. Most people in the United States are immigrants. Most of our ancestors didn’t originate in the United States so technically all of us are immigrants as well. In thinking about the article do you think that’s ethical that the USCIS can check your social media and may reject your application based on what they find? How much of a role should Facebook play in these situations? Remember we don’t always get to see the whole story of someone’s life. Think about the advantages you have had that others haven’t before you judge.

Political poem: Melissa Balmain, 'Evgeny and Evgeniia's Choice'

“Evgeny and Evgeniia faced an excruciating choice. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers told the couple they could leave the United States with their child and return to their native Russia, which they had fled seeking political asylum. Or they could remain in immigration detention in the United States — but their 8-year-old son, Maksim, would be taken away and sent to a shelter for…
