This isn't a registry,but in some ways it's worse.
Trump has signed another Executive Order that will list ALL criminal actions committed by aliens.  And by Aliens you all know he means brown people.  It also does NOT specify "illegal".

Quote:The order reads:
To better inform the public regarding the public safety threats associated with sanctuary jurisdictions, the Secretary shall utilize the Declined Detainer Outcome Report or its equivalent and, on a weekly basis, make public a comprehensive list of criminal actions committed by aliens and any jurisdiction that ignored or otherwise failed to honor any detainers with respect to such aliens.”

It does not specify that only crimes committed by illegal immigrants should be included - raising the prospect of offences committed by any immigrant being published even if the person is living in the US legally.

This will only heighten the perception that brown people commit more crimes, because it's about to get a lot more focus and attention.  So if you are here legally, are a 5th generation immigrant or whatever, tough luck!  You are about to be lumped into the category of "potential criminal" by the American Public.

Quote:This is the power of the selectively chosen printed word. This is what can be achieved when you take a story that is true (some people in red cars do commit crimes; some priests do molest children) and play it over and over and over and over again, chanting in the ear of the reader: DANGER. DANGER. WARNING. WARNING. NO TIME TO THINK. ALERT. ALERT. PROTECT YOURSELF.

Protect yourself against what? Why, against people like that: people who commit crimes, people you can easily pick out on the street, because they’re illegal immigrant criminals. Well, they’re illegal immigrants. Well, they’re immigrants. Well, they have brown skin and an accent, and you know what people like that do.

And unlike a registry, we can't all join it to help protect them.  This is not acceptable! The ONLY purpose of publishing such a list is to attempt to make people more fearful!  IT heightens tensions unnecessarily, and hurts innocent people.

Fuck this guy.

These are very dark times. I wonder when he'll move onto other groups. I might even be next on his list. I'd really hope this stops soon before it snowballs out of control. Oh wait, this isn't even being controlled now.

Is he going to call it "Damned Immigrants"?

When citing statistics doesn't elicit the response you want, just flood people with anecdotes.
Unreal.

Yes, good thing Min is just some fellow on a little forum, and isn't the President, right?

There isn't even a point to this except to try to make entire groups of people look bad.

I'm wondering, is this what an "alternative fact" looks like?

Well, let's hope some IRA splinter groups come to America to commit crimes and undermine the racist bullshit underlying the whole idea of publishing a weekly list of immigrant crimes.

Just like with Hitler, I suspect the first group he'll liquidate will be those of his followers who are too bolshy. It's generally the way with dictatorships, get rid of internal dissent before tackling the external "enemies".
