Joy Reid's Guest Delivers Superb Take-Down Of Sam Nunberg On Immigration
An AM Joy panel about the Trump administration’s increasing cruelty to immigrants was diverted somewhat when Republican Sam Nunberg spoke about his general support for Trump policies.
It started when Nunberg agreed that recent reports of severely-ill immigrant children receiving deportation notices, even if that means near-certain deaths, are “terrible instances” that he would not defend.
However, Nunberg also suggested that those were merely aberrations and that he was fine with Trump’s overall hostility to immigrants: “From my position, I want the border secure, I want to have less under-educated people come into the country, I want Americans to have jobs, I don’t want schools to be filled, I want American citizens to be to get educated,” he said.
The expressions on Maria Hinojosa’s face were priceless as Nunberg spoke. However, she bided her time and waited for the right moment. That came after Nunberg argued that the recent loss of manufacturing jobs is why we should restrict Mexican immigrants now despite having previously allowed in poor, uneducated European immigrants.
“Do you think that the American economy has been growing, factually, over the last, let’s just say eight years?” Hinojosa asked.
Nunberg fell right into her trap when he said, "Sure."
“Great. Do you know how many undocumented immigrants have been here during that time?” Hinojosa asked. Then, when Nunberg estimated the number at more than 12 million, she pounced.

5 Killed And 21 Injured In Yet Another Mass Shooting, Again In Texas
Gee, if only there were any good guys with guns around to stop the violence. Wait. There were. Three police officers were shot, among 21 injured and five people dead in yet another weekend of slaughter in these great United States of The Second Amendment. Where? I'll give you three guesses. Here is a hint:
Yes, boys, and girls. The state where access to guns just CAN'T be too easy.
I hope everyone is reading anger and cynicism rather than humor or lightheartedness in my writing, here. Because when? When will it end?
Here are the numbers:

Staying Neutral In The Chicken Sandwich Wars
Good dog, Dudley!

Babies Born To US Soldiers Overseas No Longer Assumed To Be US Citizens
The King of Israel, The Chosen One, Our Imperial Wizard-in-Chief, Hair Füror has declared that children born to soldiers and diplomats overseas do NOT have birthright citizenship:
“The policy guidance issued Wednesday stated that USCIS “no longer considers children of U.S. government employees and U.S. armed forces members residing outside the United States as ‘residing in the United States’ for purposes of acquiring citizenship under INA 320.”
He seems to still be fighting with Grandpa Walnuts (b. Panama) from beyond The Veil. But I digress.
Children born in these circumstances will have to apply for citizenship before they turn 18, but there are conditions the parents have to meet for citizenship to be granted and not all service members and state department employees will qualify. In the meanwhile, good luck getting these children into the United States without passports, and without passports good luck keeping these kids in war zones or wherevs.

Editor's note (Frances Langum): Like all Trump pronouncements, the policy is murky and may be reversed at any moment.
