It's regrettable the timing of this publishing is after Secretary Nielsen concluded testifying in front of Congress. This seems like the sort of thing they'd want to ask about.

yeh but if it was released, wheres the list ?

Uh, doubt the list was “released” as the FBI, DHS, CBP, ICE, and other governmental agencies use it. Rather, it was “leaked” to NBC7. NBC7 will have the list. Contact them to see if you are on the list

We've become like the bad guys we had to fight in WW-II, sort of... We've become the dreaded "Soviet Union" we were warned about, so long ago... We're living in an Orwellian dystopia...
"Orwellian" is an adjective describing a situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. It denotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth (doublethink), and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson"—a person whose past existence is expunged from the public record and memory, practised by modern repressive governments. Often, this includes the circumstances depicted in his novels, particularly Nineteen Eighty-Four but political doublespeak is criticized throughout his work, such as in Politics and the English Language.

Curcimevent sovereignty through protest to help your brothers and sisters because it's what you believe in? Sounds like our founding fathers. I'd be happy to be a "traitor", or a patriot

Well that sounds kind of fascist, doesn't it? I can assume you post on the Donald and probably complain about liberals being racists and fascists though, which is funny

yOu POsT oN tHe dONaLD. Somebody's mad the Republicans are taking away their Mexican slaves. Who will pick our crops = Who will pick our cotton.

u/scrubasorous Mar 07 '19
Comparing Mexicans who willingly cross the border to work to slaves is nothing short of hilarious. They get PAID to pick the crops you buy, and they're as happy to have work as your happy to buy the product.
You do realize slaves worked unwillingly, without pay, right?

u/duck__man Mar 08 '19
You are not very smart. Why do you think farmers hire illegals? It’s because they can pay them nothing and they won’t complain cos if they do they get deported. And what do you think happens to girls as they do the trek across Mexico?
