Opinion: That crazy idea Trump had last week is now administration policy. Or so it seems.
By Paul Waldman and Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow April 15 at 3:55 PM It’s become a pattern: Again and again, President Trump suddenly tosses out a major new policy idea, often in fewer than 280 characters, and our whole system is obliged to spring into action around it and pretend it’s real.
We’re talking, of course, about Trump’s new fascination with the idea of dumping undocumented immigrants into Democratic strongholds. Trump has now declared that it is his administration’s policy to ship them into “sanctuary cities” and states: After this first came to light, both the White House and the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that it was debated internally but said it never went anywhere. “The idea was briefly and informally raised and quickly rejected,” said a White House spokesperson, while DHS added, “This was a suggestion that was floated and rejected, which ended any further discussion.”
It’s unclear whether the Department of Homeland Security intends to implement the shift. Note that Trump’s tweet says the idea is “subject” to DHS, which seems to give the agency wiggle room not to implement it. ....The Radical Left always seems to have an Open Borders, Open Arms policy – so this should make them very happy!
What’s more, should it ever come to pass, it’s bound to exacerbate the very problem that has Trump in a rage. Wouldn’t there be a risk that the promise of getting transported to a locale with a governing structure that isn’t eager to help the feds get rid of migrants might make them more eager to come?
