There are a couple of very important points to remember.
Donald Trump is a Shill. A Huckster. The Carney Man. His role is to
distract attention away from the Trumpsters, the Corporate
Billionaires, as they plunder the nation and as much of the world as
they can.
The second point to remember is that this Nation was built as much on
Exploitation as it was built on immigration. Yes, immigrants did
pour into America in order to escape oppressive governments. But it
was a short lived freedom. They learned that the Powerful Exploit
regardless of national origin.
Donald Trump and his Legions are committed to the philosophy that the
bottom line justifies any means at all.
And any money Congress hands over to these Hucksters will be fair
game. Little of it will go into building a wall. Most of it will
find its way into deep off-shore pockets. And the piddling few
billions will only serve to open the doors to demands for
more...more...more.
It's long past time to turn off this Reality Show, and get back to the
business of restoring our nation from within.

Trump declares fake ‘National Emergency’ to build his border wall

By LISA LUINENBURG
On Feb. 15, President Trump declared a National State of Emergency in
order to appropriate billions of dollars to build his much-touted wall
along the U.S.-Mexico border. Even though Congress had granted him
$1.375 billion for the border wall in the latest federal budget bill,
this wasn’t enough for Trump. He wanted $5.7 billion!
Since Trump started campaigning for the presidency in 2016, he has been
vilifying immigrants as dangerous criminals and rapists, here to steal
jobs and corrupt U.S. society. This most recent maneuver is just the
latest tactic in an ongoing campaign to scapegoat immigrants and to keep
them too afraid to fight back for their rights.
In reality, though, the U.S. economy heavily depends on the cheap and
easily exploitable labor of undocumented immigrants. It is also a highly
mobile workforce, which the capitalist class can easily draw on when and
where it is needed.
Recent immigrants currently make up around 17% of the U.S. workforce,
often taking difficult, dangerous, or low-paying jobs that U.S. citizens
don’t want. They work as field laborers, factory workers, and care
providers for children and the elderly. And while undocumented
immigrants hardly use any public benefits at all (mostly because they
are not eligible for them), they contribute an estimated $11.6 billion
in taxes each year, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic
Policy.
In fact, Trump himself heavily relies on the labor of undocumented
immigrants to line his already rich pockets with even more profits. In
mid-January, the Washington Post reported that Trump had knowingly been
hiring undocumented immigrants to work in his chain of golf clubs. While
workers at the Westchester County, N.Y., club were suddenly told their
documents had been audited and were found not to be valid, these same
workers reported to the Post that the managers at the golf club either
knew they had false documents, or helped them obtain them.
About a dozen workers were fired from the New York club starting on Jan.
18, following a story reported by The New York Times late last year that
featured an undocumented worker who worked at one of Trump’s golf clubs
in New Jersey. In an e-mail statement, Eric Trump said, ”We are making a
broad effort to identify any employee who has given false and fraudulent
documents to unlawfully gain employment. Where identified, any
individual will be terminated immediately.”
While Trump’s sons are busy denying any culpability, trusted workers who
have contributed years of their lives to Trump’s business are now left
without a means of supporting themselves and their families. Gabriel
Sedano, a Mexican worker who had worked in maintenance at the club since
2005, said to the Post, “I started to cry. I told them they needed to
consider us. I had worked almost 15 years for them in this club, and I’d
given the best of myself to this job. I’d never done anything wrong,
only work and work. They said they didn’t have any comments to make.”
One of the former managers at the club said, “It didn’t matter. They
didn’t care [about immigration status]. It was, ‘Get the cheapest labor
possible.’” Several of the immigrants are now working with an attorney
to sue Trump’s business for the firings.
While Trump’s blatant hypocrisy was being exposed in the national press,
opposition to his plan to build a physical wall along the U.S-Mexico
border was already generating waves of opposition. On President’s Day,
there were about 250 protests planned across the country against Trump’s
declaration, organized by a coalition of community organizations. To
date, 16 states, including California and New York, are suing the
president over the wall, along with many non-profits, including the
Border Network for Human Rights, the ACLU, and the Center for Biological
Diversity.
On Feb. 27, the House passed a resolution with a vote of 245-182
opposing the wall. The resolution will next go to the Senate for
consideration, but even if it passes, the president has threatened to
veto it, meaning it will have little meaningful impact to stop Trump’s
heavy-handed project.
Why are all these players so mad about the wall? First of all, as
reported by National Public Radio, Trump has said he plans to allocate a
total of $8 billion to the construction of the wall. Ironically, Trump
plans to obtain the money by diverting $3.6 from military construction
projects and $2.5 billion from the Department of Defense’s counter-drug
activities.
Despite the fact that military officials are now up in arms about their
funding being diverted to Trump’s pet project, this allocation of money
also highlights how much of the bloated military budget could be
diverted towards stemming the real emergency that is occurring—the
thousands of migrants from Central America and their children who are
now waiting in squalid camps on the Mexican side of the border, with
little access to sanitary conditions, clean food and water, or medical
care, while they wait for months to apply for asylum in the U.S.
But how realistic is Trump’s project of building a physical wall along
the U.S.-Mexico border? According to an investigation by USA Today into
the logistics of the project, there is little clarity on the logistics
involved or the actual cost and environmental impact of building the
proposed wall. USA Today found that despite about $2 billion having been
spent to date on border construction, only about 350 miles of the 2000
mile-long border currently has fencing meant to stop people (not
vehicles) from crossing.
Much of the border runs through either private property, or inaccessible
desert regions. All told, 4900 parcels of property sit within 500 feet
of the border in Texas and would need to be seized by the U.S.
government in order to build a wall. After the 2006 Secure Fence Act,
over 300 condemnation cases were brought by the U.S. government against
land owners. As of 2017, 85 of those cases were still in litigation.
It has been clearly documented that the increased militarization of the
U.S.-Mexico border over the past several decades has forced immigrants
to cross at more dangerous locations. This has resulted in a dramatic
increase of deaths along the border, at a time when border apprehensions
are at their lowest point in four decades (based on Border Patrol data).
Thousands of deaths along the border have never been reported. At the
same time, a physical border is unlikely to stop drug trafficking, and a
human smuggler told USA Today that a border wall won’t stop people from
crossing, but will allow him to charge people more money for the privilege.
The environmental impacts of building the wall are dire. As reported by
National Geographic, a physical wall along the border will cross through
six diverse ecological regions, bisecting the geographic range of 1506
native animals and plants, including 62 species listed as critically
endangered. Biologists say that the jaguar will become extinct in the
U.S. without access to Mexico. In addition, a wall is expected to
exacerbate flooding in the region and will disrupt several wildlife
refuges and parks.
Because of the REAL ID Action passed in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, Homeland Security has authorization to waive any laws in the
name of national security, including over 30 federal environmental laws
such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered
Species Act.
Native American tribes, such as the Tohono O’odham Nation, whose
traditional lands sit on an estimated 2.7 million acres in the Sonoran
desert, straddle the border between Arizona and Mexico. Tribe members
worry that the building of a wall will sever their tribal ties to
Mexico, where they currently have the ability to pass back and forth
across the border with their tribal ID cards. A border wall will cut
them off from their sacred lands. “It will be in my backyard—the wall,
and all its political policies along with it,” said Ofelia Rivas, a
member of the tribe.
Despite all the barriers he faces, Trump is not alone in utilizing the
State of Emergency power to get what he wants. In fact, according to a
report in The Atlantic, 60 states of emergency have been declared since
the National Emergencies Act was passed in 1976, and there are currently
30 currently in effect, having been renewed on a continual basis without
any review by Congress. Once a State of Emergency is declared, the
president has access to a broad range of more than 100 special
provisions. For the most part, the president is free to use any of these
powers he wishes, even if they don’t relate at all to the emergency
currently on hand. This has many worried that these special presidential
powers are ripe for abuse.
Most states of emergency have been declared in the past in order to
impose economic sanctions on other countries. Or they have been used in
response to terrorist attacks or natural disasters. But other powers
give the president the ability to activate laws allowing him to shut
down electronic communications inside the United States, to freeze
American’s bank accounts, or to deploy troops inside the country in
order to subdue domestic unrest.
As Justice Robert Jackson wrote in his dissent in the 1944 Supreme Court
decision that upheld the internment of Japanese Americans, each
emergency power “lies about like a loaded weapon, ready for the hand of
any authority that can bring forward a plausible claim of an urgent need.”
It is clear that despite growing opposition to Trump’s State of
Emergency declaration and his proposal to build a wall along the
U.S.-Mexico border, Congress has little ability to offer any kind of
meaningful roadblock, while the best lawsuits can do is tie up the plan
in the complex legal system, at great expense. Meanwhile, migrants who
have risked their lives to come to the U.S. seeking a better life for
their families are languishing at the border in squalid refugee camps.
What is needed now is a mass movement of immigrant workers and U.S.-born
workers joining hands to oppose Trump’s plan, the kind we saw in 2006
when millions of people poured into the streets to oppose the
reactionary Sensenbrenner law. While the immigrant rights movement is
currently at low ebb in the United States (along with most other social
movements), there are still many opportunities to organize around this
critical issue. Local organizing efforts to oppose Trump and welcome
immigrants are currently underway in hundreds of U.S. cities to declare,
“No Border Wall! No Human Being is Illegal! Immigrants and Refugees are
Welcome Here!”

Trump declares fake ‘National Emergency’ to build his border wall

By LISA LUINENBURG
On Feb. 15, President Trump declared a National State of Emergency in
order to appropriate billions of dollars to build his much-touted wall
along the U.S.-Mexico border. Even though Congress had granted him
$1.375 billion for the border wall in the latest federal budget bill,
this wasn’t enough for Trump. He wanted $5.7 billion!
Since Trump started campaigning for the presidency in 2016, he has been
vilifying immigrants as dangerous criminals and rapists, here to steal
jobs and corrupt U.S. society. This most recent maneuver is just the
latest tactic in an ongoing campaign to scapegoat immigrants and to keep
them too afraid to fight back for their rights.
In reality, though, the U.S. economy heavily depends on the cheap and
easily exploitable labor of undocumented immigrants. It is also a highly
mobile workforce, which the capitalist class can easily draw on when and
where it is needed.
Recent immigrants currently make up around 17% of the U.S. workforce,
often taking difficult, dangerous, or low-paying jobs that U.S. citizens
don’t want. They work as field laborers, factory workers, and care
providers for children and the elderly. And while undocumented
immigrants hardly use any public benefits at all (mostly because they
are not eligible for them), they contribute an estimated $11.6 billion
in taxes each year, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic
Policy.
In fact, Trump himself heavily relies on the labor of undocumented
immigrants to line his already rich pockets with even more profits. In
mid-January, the Washington Post reported that Trump had knowingly been
hiring undocumented immigrants to work in his chain of golf clubs. While
workers at the Westchester County, N.Y., club were suddenly told their
documents had been audited and were found not to be valid, these same
workers reported to the Post that the managers at the golf club either
knew they had false documents, or helped them obtain them.
About a dozen workers were fired from the New York club starting on Jan.
18, following a story reported by The New York Times late last year that
featured an undocumented worker who worked at one of Trump’s golf clubs
in New Jersey. In an e-mail statement, Eric Trump said, ”We are making a
broad effort to identify any employee who has given false and fraudulent
documents to unlawfully gain employment. Where identified, any
individual will be terminated immediately.”
While Trump’s sons are busy denying any culpability, trusted workers who
have contributed years of their lives to Trump’s business are now left
without a means of supporting themselves and their families. Gabriel
Sedano, a Mexican worker who had worked in maintenance at the club since
2005, said to the Post, “I started to cry. I told them they needed to
consider us. I had worked almost 15 years for them in this club, and I’d
given the best of myself to this job. I’d never done anything wrong,
only work and work. They said they didn’t have any comments to make.”
One of the former managers at the club said, “It didn’t matter. They
didn’t care [about immigration status]. It was, ‘Get the cheapest labor
possible.’” Several of the immigrants are now working with an attorney
to sue Trump’s business for the firings.
While Trump’s blatant hypocrisy was being exposed in the national press,
opposition to his plan to build a physical wall along the U.S-Mexico
border was already generating waves of opposition. On President’s Day,
there were about 250 protests planned across the country against Trump’s
declaration, organized by a coalition of community organizations. To
date, 16 states, including California and New York, are suing the
president over the wall, along with many non-profits, including the
Border Network for Human Rights, the ACLU, and the Center for Biological
Diversity.
On Feb. 27, the House passed a resolution with a vote of 245-182
opposing the wall. The resolution will next go to the Senate for
consideration, but even if it passes, the president has threatened to
veto it, meaning it will have little meaningful impact to stop Trump’s
heavy-handed project.
Why are all these players so mad about the wall? First of all, as
reported by National Public Radio, Trump has said he plans to allocate a
total of $8 billion to the construction of the wall. Ironically, Trump
plans to obtain the money by diverting $3.6 from military construction
projects and $2.5 billion from the Department of Defense’s counter-drug
activities.
Despite the fact that military officials are now up in arms about their

diverted towards stemming the real emergency that is occurring—the
thousands of migrants from Central America and their children who are

But how realistic is Trump’s project of building a physical wall along
the U.S.-Mexico border? According to an investigation by USA Today into
the logistics of the project, there is little clarity on the logistics
involved or the actual cost and environmental impact of building the
proposed wall. USA Today found that despite about $2 billion having been
spent to date on border construction, only about 350 miles of the 2000
mile-long border currently has fencing meant to stop people (not
vehicles) from crossing.
Much of the border runs through either private property, or inaccessible
desert regions. All told, 4900 parcels of property sit within 500 feet

over 300 condemnation cases were brought by the U.S. government against

attacks, Homeland Security has authorization to waive any laws in the
name of national security, including over 30 federal environmental laws
such as the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered

Native American tribes, such as the Tohono O’odham Nation, whose
traditional lands sit on an estimated 2.7 million acres in the Sonoran
desert, straddle the border between Arizona and Mexico. Tribe members
worry that the building of a wall will sever their tribal ties to
Mexico, where they currently have the ability to pass back and forth

Carl Sagan
“Who is more humble? The scientist who looks at the universe with an open
mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says
everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and never mind
the fallibility of all the human beings involved?”
― Carl Sagan
