The Trump administration on Monday announced that it would change the way the Endangered Species Act is applied, significantly weakening the nation’s bedrock conservation law credited with rescuing the bald eagle, the grizzly bear and the American alligator from extinction.
The changes will make it harder to consider the effects of climate change on wildlife....They would most likely shrink critical habitats and...make it easier to remove a species from the endangered species list...
Overall, the new rules would very likely clear the way for new mining, oil and gas drilling, and development in areas where protected species live.

It will probably not affect immigrants who already have green cards.”

Trump's an idiot. There's no way he knows enough to do this. It's all the deplorables that came out from underneath their rocks after he was elected that are masterminding this hate filled nonsense.

It's probably Stephen Miller who is the mastermind behind this.

Wow.
The famous lines, taken from The New Colossus by the 19th-century New York poet Emma Lazarus, read: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
In a radio interview on Tuesday, Cuccinelli offered a change: “Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge.”
On NPR’s Morning Edition, Cuccinelli defended the Trump administration decision to make it harder for migrants to be awarded permanent residence, or a “green card”, if they have ever accepted benefit programs such as food stamps, housing assistance or Medicaid.

Something is wrong here. Law enforcement goes into a place of business and their goal is to arrest undocumented workers. These WORKERS have families they are supporting in a very difficult job not attractive to those less committed.
These are the people we should be fast tracking towards legal status, not jailing and deporting them! These people have drive and perseverance to support their families. They suffer the fear of deportation because it was a worse situation that they came from.
These WORKERS are not the ones to target. They are the ones we should welcome.

It's actually not "conservative ideology" to fight attempts by immigrants to come to the US to take our lowest paying jobs. It's long been part of their pro-business strategy to ensure endless supplies of low cost labor; that coupled with public support in the form of food and other assistance that allows the Walmarts and Koch chicken processors of the world to keep paying below living wages. This approach ensures that those workers and their families can survive while the corporations that employ them make staggering profits.
What's happening now makes no sense from either a humanitarian or an economic point of view and if Republican leaders won't stand up and say this is wrong then it's fair to say that the GOP is officially dead and it's now the Trump party. May as well change the name at this point.
