The brown-skin exclusion act of November 2016

The current administration in DC has come up with yet another scheme to restrict immigration by providing yet another phony story:
The Department of Homeland Security announced a proposed rule on Friday that would penalize immigrants seeking permanent status who use public benefit programs such as food assistance and housing vouchers. Under the new policy, those who seek financial help could risk losing their chance at a green card.
It is not about any evidence to back this up, obviously.  It is to merely feed into the false narrative that brown-skinned immigrants are lazy bums who are collecting welfare money paid for by hardworking (white) taxpayers.

Just for the heck of it, what are the facts on the ground?
[Research] shows that immigrants are far less likely to burden the federal government than native-born Americans; if anything, they bolster it.
Yep.  There is evidence that we normal people use, and then there are alternative facts that the current administration uses!

Keep in mind that this is the same administration that said it wanted to encourage immigration from Norway and not from shithole countries.  One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that it is all about restricting the browns from coming to America.

White nationalists and supremacists are having a glorious time thanks to this administration mainstreaming their views that have been unwelcome in the public space for a couple of decades.  Here's what the son of a big time white nationalist has to say about it:
unfortunately, I think we don't have to look very hard for examples of this kind of rhetoric now in our politics. You know, when you have someone in a primary position of power saying that we should be prioritizing European immigration, saying we need to build the wall - which is an idea that David Duke and the Klan spent a lot of time investing energy in in the late 1970s. When we have somebody in a huge position of power who's saying we don't want people from [expletive] countries - when you have somebody in a huge position of power who is constantly referring to his own genetics, which is a huge white nationalist talking point. They love to talk about eugenics and the false science of race. And so when you have somebody who's saying, I'm a credit to my great, tremendous, really wonderful genes - which, it turns out, some people might think maybe weren't so tremendous - that's furthering white nationalist talking points.

Listen to that entire interview with Derek Black, the son of a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.  The son has renounced the white nationalism that he was raised on, and is now an activist on the good side.  While the President might find it impossible, there is only one good side in this.  There are no good people on the other side.

The tightening of the immigration screws on non-Christian browns has had terrible effects already.  I suppose this is what 63 million "real" Americans voted for!
