ICE Won't Deport the Last Nazi War Criminal in America

-

Jakiw Palij is the last Nazi War Criminal in America and he isn't being deported, even if he was going to be deported it isn't like any other country wants to take him either. ICE has deported a total of 56,710 people in their 2018 fiscal year so far, 46% of those deported have not even been convicted of a crime, yet Palij is still in the US. "Palij served as a guard during World War II at the Trawniki forced labor camp, which also trained those participating in “Operation Reinhard,” a plan to exterminate every Jew in German-occupied Poland. He entered the country in 1949 without divulging his past and was later awarded citizenship, of which he was stripped by a federal judge in 2004 and ordered deported." Palij played a major role in making sure 6,000 prisoners faced their death at the hands of the Nazi's one night as they planned an escape but Palij helped in the prevention of their escape which lead to them being systemically butchered. Palij now is 94 years old and no other country wants him which is another reason why he has remained in the US, when he came in 1949 he claimed that he was a farmer not a guard at a concentration camp which is how he gained citizenship. The article continued to go into detailing stating what Palij did as a guard in the concentration camp and his life in the US. He, unfortunately, will live out his last days in the US, which is interesting because he is a criminal and isn’t criminals who Trump is trying to get out of the country

What Exactly is "Chain Migration?"

-
As we have been studying there has been much buzz around the term "chain migration" as Trump wants to end it and have stronger immigration control. Many people really don't know exactly what chain migration is, " The misconception is that any immigrant can bring as many family members as they would like when they come to the United States. In actuality, the process is much lengthier, in some cases taking up to 23 years, and is limited to certain family members." The article goes into detail to discuss the breakdown of chain migration, #1 is the benefactors. "United States citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders) have the ability to sponsor a family member to come to the United States." There is an application process, and not just any immigrant is able to sponsor a family member to be able to come, it isn't a free for all which is what some people think. #2 the number of visas that are granted each year, currently every year ther

Blog Post #2

Trump recently had a meeting on immigration where he said some not so nice things but countries such as Haiti, El Salvador, and the continent of Africa as a whole as "shithole countries." Hearing this I honestly wasn't surprised because it is something that would come out of Trump's mouth, but it is still unbelievable that this man is the President. Everyone that was at the meeting surrounding the topic of immigration was in complete shock at the things Trump said and his tone of voice. At the end of the day can we be completely shocked by what he said? It's disheartening to know that this man is in office, making decisions that are going to tear families apart. https://splinternews.com/trumps-immigration-meeting-was-even-more-racist-than-we-1822106353

A Brazilian woman named Jocelyn and her 14-year-old-son entered the US in 2014 both fleeing from violence, Jocelyn was fleeing domestic violence while her son was being threatened by gangs in Brazil. They left behind everything in hopes of gaining asylum in the US but they had a rude awakening and currently are being detained in two separate states. Jocelyn is being held in Texas while her son is being sent to a shelter in Illinois, a mother and her son are being torn apart not knowing when they will see each other again. This goal is to try and deter people from coming into this country illegally, so they fear they will be separated from their children not knowing when they will be together again.
