Deliberate Cruelty

This past weekend, the New York Times published a deeply disturbing article (links here and here) about how Donald Trump's administration is separating babies from their parents when the latter arrive in the United States seeking asylum because of persecution.

This deliberately cruel policy has one obvious goal in mind: to discourage everyone from seeking legal asylum in the United States.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free," it says on the Statue of Liberty. But no more. Look for asylum elsewhere. The United States under Trump no longer cares if you're persecuted.

Now if you want to come here and buy a condo in any of the Trump or Kushner properties, however, you're absolutely welcome and the administration will expedite your visa application (details here).
