UPDATE: I wrote about Border Patrol before the Sherriff Joe pardon. didn't think we could sink even lower

trump orders Border Patrol to keep checking citizenship status of those fleeing Hurricane Harvey.
Fuck this, and if you are a Border Control agent and you follow this dictum, I say you're guilty of crimes against humanity.

How God damn low can you go? We have completely lost our soul as a nation. So much for those words on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired your poor..."

Every single person in this administration lacks any human empathy or decency. They all need to go!!!

Sorry, rant over!
