which is homeland security, because this is something the president as you know campaigned on in 2016. he s talked a lot about it for 2020. he has to make good on his promises, and it s been two and a half years where there are a lot of rank and file people and top officials in the white house that are frustrated there hasn t been someone in that job, implementing policies to get to what the president is doing but also can talk the talk. the president and his top advisers really like someone who s out there mimicking the president, talking tough on immigration, and they felt like they haven t had that. that extends to other agencies as well. it s particularly a problem with immigration agencies. so what do you make of all of that considering what we saw overnight, these two immigration policies of the president being shot down by federal judges? it s telling me we re in year
know. but together those are all the agencies that do immigration stuff in the u.s. federal government. and there is no one formally in charge of any of those agencies right now. up to and including the whole department of homeland security. they re all run by acting officials who have been slotted in thereafter the last people running those agencies left or were fired. it s all short termers, no one confirmed by the senate, no one who s been vetted at all in anyway, except for the white house, which is great at that. in the time that no one has officially been running any of the agencies that handle immigration for the u.s. government. the trump white house has unveiled their three most radical immigrant policies since the muslim ban. just in the past few weeks with nobody running all those immigration agencies, they have announced their new plan to basically block people from applying for asylum in this country. they announced their new plan to make it so only people with lots of mon
government. the trump white house has unveiled their three most radical immigrant policies since the muslim ban. just in the past few weeks with nobody running all those immigration agencies, they have announced their new plan to basically block people from applying for asylum in this country. they announced their new plan to make it so only people with lots of money and maybe private health insurance are allowed to immigrate to this country at all. you know, like all our ancestors did, all our rich rich immigrant ancestors who fled here seeking a safe place to park all their piles of cash, their stock holdings and excellent insurance plans. you know, everybody s family story goes like that. they just now today announced their third major policy change in recent weeks. which is a plan to indefinitely imprison immigrant families. immigrant families and specifically kids who cross the border, under a new rule
sexual harassment or gang violence or drugs. what does building their economies up so they re not all looking to come to the united states look like? because we re not going to make them into american-like economies. no, of course not. i guess it is a far more complicated economic question, but just getting back to how mr. cucinelli is talking about again, he said your agency, it is not his agency. he is an acting director, which is part of the problem here. it is all of the immigration agencies are led by acting directors, and it is no one is in charge. he s nominally running it, but i don t think it is good for the conduct of our immigration system generally. i think on top of that, when they make or when he makes points about people coming through the lawful process, what the administration has said a number of times is they want to restrict the number of people that low-skilled workers that come into the united states anyway. these are people they don t want coming here. so
political change. in 2018 google employees successfully petitioned their employer to end this contract with the defense department to supply software for drone, microsoft and salesforce workers tried but failed to get their companies to stop contracting with federal immigration agencies. the founder of the group sleeping giant dedicated to advertiser boycots told the new york times, this next wave of protest is not just consumer oriented but it s also employee- oriented. companies can be caught off guard by protestings speat when planned by employees on social media as they were with wayfair, at least 22 states have passed laws restricting employers from requesting passwords to personal internet accounts. in washington, doug mcelway, fox news. trains, planes and automobiles, oh, and e-scooters as well. look at the new mode of transportation wheeling its way into cities across the country, next. ok everyone!
