Trump authorizes ICE to target schools and churches​

The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday it would roll back the policy to "thwart law enforcement in or near so-called sensitive areas."

First enacted in 2011 [by the Deporter in Chief], the directive prohibited Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol officers from arresting suspected undocumented immigrants in a variety of locations.

Schools and houses of worship were deemed off-limits, as were hospitals, funerals, weddings and public demonstrations.

I am guessing there are going to be quite a few kids skipping school tomorrow.

"There... out in the darkness. A fugitive running, fallen from God. Fallen from grace. God be my witness, I never shall yield, 'til we come face to face. 'Til we come face to face. He knows his way in the dark, mine is the way of the Lord. Those who follow the path of the righteous shall have their reward. And if they fall as Lucifer fell, the flames, the sword... Stars, in your multitudes, scarce to be counted, filling the darkness with order and light. You are the sentinels, silent and sure, keeping watch in the night. Keeping watch in the night. You know your place in the sky, you hold your course and your aim. And each in your season returns and returns, and is always the same. And if you fall as Lucifer fell, you fall in flames. And so it must be, for so it is written, on the doorway to paradise, that those who falter and those who fall must pay the price. Lord let me find him, that I may see him safe behind bars. I will never rest, 'til then! This I swear! This I swear by the stars!"

Javert, Les Miserables.

And after seeing Bishop Budde on TV, I guess we know which Church will be the first to have its doors kicked in.

Apparently.

Fear of increased ICE raids have already negatively affected the nation’s agricultural sector, causing alarm that food prices could skyrocket in the near future as a result of Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies.

Bakersfield, California, saw a massive drop off in the number of field workers showing up for work last week after Border Patrol agents in unmarked Chevy Suburbans rounded up and detained immigrants in the area, profiling individuals they believed to be field workers, reported CalMatters.* The end result: acres of unpicked oranges roasting in the California sun at the height of the season.

“We’re in the middle of our citrus harvesting,” Casey Creamer, president of the industry group California Citrus Mutual, told CalMatters. “This sent shockwaves through the entire community. People aren’t going to work and kids aren’t going to school. Yesterday about 25 percent of the workforce, today 75 percent didn’t show up.”

On the plus side, if anyone has ever dreamed of picking citrus as a career, now's your chance.

They come to our country to live and refuse to speak our language?

Maybe I would have understood 50 years ago, but not today.

I don’t know how many Anglican immigrants and refugees there are, eh?

Some are no doubt born here. As is also found in some other cultures. It's a free country.

Gene Steinberg was born and raised barely an hour outside New York City, but well into adulthood he could barely speak the language of his native country.

I agree. But there’s a consequence of not learning the language of the country one is in. That’s all.

Probably not many, though there may be some. The Anglican Communion covers a lot of ground in the developing world. Still, like the Catholics, I doubt if they have a religious test for giving shelter.
