He has been explicit about the connection since  he announced his campaign for president in 2015: &ldquo;They&rsquo;re bringing drugs,  they&rsquo;re bringing crime. They&rsquo;re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.&rdquo;  He made it throughout the election. &ldquo;Countless Americans who have died in recent  years would be alive today if not for the open border policies of this  administration,&rdquo; he said during a 2016 speech in Arizona. And he has made it as president,  routinely juxtaposing crime and immigration, with a particular focus on the  gang MS-13. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve seen the stories about some of these animals,&rdquo; said Trump  last year.<\/p>\r\n<p>&ldquo;They don&rsquo;t want to  use guns, because it&rsquo;s too fast and it&rsquo;s not painful enough. So they&rsquo;ll take a  young, beautiful girl&mdash;16, 15, and others&mdash;and they slice them and dice them with  a knife because they want them to go through excruciating pain before they die.  And these are the animals that we&rsquo;ve been protecting for so long. Well, they&rsquo;re  not being protected anymore, folks.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n<p>This is how Trump speaks, moving from  lurid stories of criminal violence to jeremiads against &ldquo;sanctuary cities&rdquo; and  illegal immigration back to condemnation of gangs and violence. And while he  occasionally pauses to distinguish &ldquo;criminal aliens&rdquo; from law-abiding  immigrants, the actual effect of this juxtaposition is to collapse the  distinction between the two and lodge a particular relation in the minds of his  listeners: Immigrants mean crime, and crime means immigrants.<\/p>\r\n<p>At a roundtable discussion with California sheriffs on  Wednesday, he blasted some immigrants as &ldquo;animals&rdquo; after one sheriff expressed  frustration with &ldquo;sanctuary&rdquo; laws that preclude cooperation between local law  enforcement and federal immigration authorities. &ldquo;They can&rsquo;t do all kinds of  things that other law enforcement agencies can do. And it&rsquo;s really put us in a  very bad position,&rdquo; said the sheriff, adding&mdash;as a hypothetical&mdash;that she  wouldn&rsquo;t know if a gang member was in her jail. &ldquo;There could be an MS-13 member  I know about&mdash;if they don&rsquo;t reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about  it.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n<p>Trump responded with his usual riff: <br>\r\n  &ldquo;We have people coming  into the country, or trying to come in &mdash; and we&rsquo;re stopping a lot of them &mdash; but  we&rsquo;re taking people out of the country. You wouldn&rsquo;t believe how bad these  people are. These aren&rsquo;t people. These are animals. And we&rsquo;re taking them out  of the country at a level and at a rate that&rsquo;s never happened before. And  because of the weak laws, they come in fast, we get them, we release them, we  get them again, we bring them out. It&rsquo;s crazy.&rdquo;<br>\r\n  Democrats and other critics hit the  president for attacking Hispanic immigrants as &ldquo;animals,&rdquo; while the White House  and its conservative defenders pushed back, calling this a clear reference to  MS-13 and other gangs associated with immigration from the southern border. &ldquo;The  president was very clearly referring to MS-13 gang members who enter the  country illegally and whose deportations are hamstrung by our laws,&rdquo; said press  secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. &ldquo;This is one of the most vicious gangs that  operates by the motto of rape, control, and kill. &hellip; If the media and liberals  want to defend MS-13, they&rsquo;re more than welcome to.&rdquo; <\/p>\r\n<p>Part of the problem is in the ambiguity  of the remarks themselves. The sheriff in question is posing a hypothetical and  Trump doesn&rsquo;t actually respond to it, nor does he specify MS-13 members. His  response is general, referring to &ldquo;people&rdquo; who are &ldquo;bad&rdquo; and who, he argues,  are coming into the country at such a rate that it taxes the ability of the  government to deal with them. &ldquo;These are animals&rdquo; is the only real clue that  Trump is talking about MS-13 and not undocumented immigrants at large. <\/p>\r\n<p>Even then, this broad, slippery  language must be placed in the context of the president&rsquo;s past rhetoric. You  can&rsquo;t divorce &ldquo;these are animals&rdquo; from &ldquo;some, I assume, are good people.&rdquo; To  ignore Trump&rsquo;s history and read his comments narrowly&mdash;thus giving him the  benefit of the doubt&mdash;is to act as if he hasn&rsquo;t built his political career on  anti-immigrant scaremongering and demonization. There is no MS-13 invasion of the  United States,  but there&rsquo;s a reason the gang is a staple of the president&rsquo;s rhetoric: It  dramatizes his imagined connection between immigrants and crime, forcing  opponents into a defensive crouch as they try to criticize the link without  defending the gang. <\/p>\r\n<p>Even if Trump were plainly referring to  MS-13, it&rsquo;s still a step too far for the president of the United States to refer to anyone in  the language of &ldquo;animals.&rdquo; Not only does it demonize, casting entire groups as  subhuman, it opens a door to something worse than just rhetoric, and sends a  signal to the agencies and officers tasked with enforcing the laws of the United States. <\/p>\r\n<p>This particular signal is  straightforward: They do not deserve respect or fair treatment. Who is &ldquo;they?&rdquo;  It may be the gang members themselves, or it may be people accused of being  gang members, regardless of the truth. It may be people who want to escape gang  life but find themselves stigmatized. It may be entire communities, targeted as  one of the president&rsquo;s vectors for crime and disorder. Indeed, Trump has  already obliterated the distinction between the law-abiding and the criminal in  immigration enforcement, freeing ICE agents to detain and deport anyone they  suspect of being &ldquo;illegal.&rdquo; The result is a surge in the arrests of immigrants  without criminal records. <\/p>\r\nIf there&rsquo;s no difference in the president&rsquo;s policies between criminal  and law-abiding immigrants, why should we assume there&rsquo;s a difference in his  rhetoric?\r\n<p><strong>Link the article:http:\/\/www.immigrantsolidarity.org\/cgi-bin\/datacgi\/database.cgi?file=Issues&amp;report=SingleArticle&amp;ArticleID=1662<\/strong>      <\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><strong>5\/9-12 Salt Lake City,   UT Golden Spike Conference to  Remember the Sacrifice in Injustice of the Chinese Railroad Workers 149 Years  Ago<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><br>\r\n  <strong>Lee Siu Hin &ndash; National Immigrant Solidarity Network<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>May 10th marked the 149th anniversary  of completion the transcontinental railway, and the Golden Spike celebration,  at Promontory Summit, Utah.several hundred people attend the celebration and  the recreation of the famous \"Golden Spike's photo 149 years ago.<\/p>\r\n<p>Tens of thousands of Chinese workers  from China, were send to build the railroad, with lower pay then the white  workers, injustice, heavy casualties (thousands killed or injured), they're not  invited to join the historical \"Golden Spike\" celebration photo.

In Paris,  hundreds of masked and hooded anarchists smashed shop windows, torched cars and  hurled cobblestones at riot police on Tuesday, hijacking a May Day rally by  labor unions against President Emmanuel Macron&rsquo;s economic reforms. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n      <p><strong>FESTIVE AND DEFIANT <br>\r\n        Tuesday&rsquo;s Los   Angeles turnout under cloudy skies and a slight drizzle was  considerably diminished from the thousands who took to the streets of America&rsquo;s  second-largest city in 2017, for the first May Day celebration after Trump took  office. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n      <p><strong>But the mood was festive and defiant,  nevertheless. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n      <p><strong>&ldquo;No rain, no clouds,  no hate, no division is going to keep workers from celebrating with immigrants,  with refugees ... with the LGBT community, with the criminal justice reform  community, with the environmental justice community,&rdquo;
