Schumer: Reports of National Guard deportation plan 'despicable'

Schumer: Reports of National Guard deportation plan 'despicable'
By Jordain Carney - 02/17/17 11:18 AM EST

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted a report that the Trump administration is considering using the National Guard to round up illegal immigrants for deportation, a claim that the White House has denied.

"That's despicable," Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Scott Pruitt's nomination to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. "That would be one of the most un-American things that would happen in the last century."

He added: "I just hope it's not true."

people who, overwhelmingly, are simply here working and causing no trouble. Trump blames them for crimes they haven't committed.

When they eliminate one, another is targeted.

See here:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

people who like Obama since he is from there.

Has to get back at him for making fun of him.

Bannon hopes this action starts a war of sorts so he can kill as many of us as possible and imprison the rest of us.

I started a thread on this elsewhere, but we need this posted everywhere because I believe it will happen at the same time of his rally.
