Australia is the only country in the world to have received more American migrants than the US has accepted from it. For many, the Land Down Under represents a place with a similar culture to the US, but with the bonus of being free from Mr Trump.

Canada immigration website crashes as Donald Trump election victory looks imminent
Go to Canada
One poll found 28 per cent of Americans considered leaving the US for good to go to "a country such as Canada" if Mr Trump is elected. Canada's immigration site stopped working overnight supposedly as a result of so many people searching for how to move to the country. Go to Mexico
The Mexican peso plunged as Ms Clinton foundered in the results, so on the plus side, living in Mexico could be cheaper for would-be refugees. But Mr Trump has promised to build a “beautiful wall” across the border, ostensibly to stop “bad hombres” from coming to the US from Mexico, so any bid to flee America must take this into account.

It’d make her happy too.” Hispanic comedian George Lopez said Trump “won’t have to worry about immigration” if he takes the White House because “we’ll all go back.” Political Figures

Several stars pledged to leave the country if Donald Trump was elected president. Many said they'd move to Canada (Lena Dunham, Snoop Dogg), some suggested Europe (Spain for Amy Schumer, Italy for Omari Hardwick) or Africa (Samuel L. Jackson), and one even said Jupiter would be the ideal destination (Cher).

Cher has a history of feuding with Trump even before he announced his candidacy and has been often asked about what she thinks about his attempts to become President. Cher tweeted that if he wins she will "move to Jupiter." Getty
If Cher does get a SpaceX flight to another planet, she might have Jon Stewart as her window-seat buddy, as he joked to People Magazine that he “would consider getting in a rocket and going to another planet, because clearly this planet’s gone bonkers.” Getty
Even before Trump officially got nominated, she promised on The View that she would leave for Canada if any Republican got elected: " I literally bought my ticket, I swear." Getty
Natasha Lyonne might not leave the country, but when asked by Starz where she might go, she said she might check herself into a mental hospital. Getty
George Lopez told TMZ that he would move south of the border if Trump won, and that other Latinos would come with him: " If he wins, he won't have to worry about immigration; we'll all go back." Getty
Al Sharpton said in February that he had "reserved his ticket" to leave if Trump won and that he would support anyone necessary to beat him.

 These famous individuals escaped their home countries and found asylum in places like the U.S., the U.K., and Switzerland. And that started them on a new life path. To be clear, not every refugee has to become famous to "deserve" asylum. Every refugee deserves a safe haven—but these are a few people you might be interested to know were welcomed by another country when they needed to escape. Pinterest

Trump’s New Ban Leaves Few Spots for Refugees, Even the Hunted

SAN SALVADOR — Veronica picked up some modeling clay, molded it into little human figures with her hands — and then dug holes into the sculpture’s face. “Look,” said Veronica, 9, showing off the creation to her aunt. “ That’s how Mamá ended up.” For more than a year, Veronica and her sister have been in hiding here in El Salvador, hoping to receive refugee status in the United States. The two girls were doing homework at their dining room table when masked men burst in and gunned down their grandparents — the community’s only two health workers — on rumors that the couple had been tipping off the police about gangs in the neighborhood. Like many thousands of others, Veronica and her sister applied for sanctuary in the United States under a special Obama administration effort to grapple with the violence that has gutted Central America and sent waves of its people on a desperate march toward the American border. But on Monday, the Trump administration announced a four-month suspension on all refugee admissions to the United States so security procedures can be improved and, perhaps most significantly, cut the number of total refugees allowed into the country by more than half. “We can’t remain in the same place,” said the girls’ aunt, Reina, who is seeking refugee status for her nieces, witnesses to the double homicide. “

According to Mashable, Google searches for “How Do I Move To Canada” spiked after the Republican frontrunner won seven states on Super Tuesday. But Canada won’t get a Trump-brand border wall, so Mexico might be a safer bet for those who really want to get away. Mexico is already home to about 1 million U.S. citizens (mostly retirees), and thousands of other expats from all over the world. It's also home to a growing population of international refugees. Mexico has had a long history as an asylum country. The Aztec nation was a safe haven for thousands of Spaniards fleeing the Franco dictatorship in the 1930s, and became an adoptive country for more than a thousand European Jews escaping the Nazis during WWII. Further back in time, Mexico took in Americans—including U.S. soldiers—who were fleeing the brutal U.S. Civil War. It also gave safe harbor to U.S. citizens accused of being communists during the heady days of Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s infamous witch hunt in the 1940s-50s.

 They arrive LEGALLY but just happen to stay past their legal visa end date. Whether as students or workers, they have a Visa to stay in the U.S. And when it runs out, they just keep on working or living in the U.S. It isn’t any easier to travel to Canada and then try to get into the U.S. In fact it’s harder and much more inconvenient. Add to that, most people who live in Canada don’t yearn to move to the United States. For most people the U.S. is arguably a less safe, less sane, slightly warmer version of Canada. So there is no real motivation to move to the U.S. There are criminals who want to smuggle weed into the U.S. or who want to smuggle cheap cigarettes and alcohol into Canada. But its risky and most people aren’t into crime. There are far easier ways to make money. And since Trump started changing laws about immigration in the U.S. there are now thousands of people who are legally in the United States who are choosing to flee to Canada because they are worried they will be kicked out of the U.S. They can attest that it’s not that hard to cross. But they are generally met by the RCMP, arrested, brought to be processed (where they submit a refugee claim) and then released with a court date to show up and have their case heard. The vast majority of whom will be told that they can’t stay and that they need to go back to their country of origin.

Donald Trump has won the US election and is set to become the 45th president of the United States. Mr Trump out-performed all the polls, confounded media expectations and will now control his country's nuclear arsenal. For many, now is looking like a good time to flee the Land of the Free.

Canada immigration website crashes as Donald Trump election victory looks imminent
Go to Canada
One poll found 28 per cent of Americans considered leaving the US for good to go to "a country such as Canada" if Mr Trump is elected. Canada's immigration site stopped working overnight supposedly as a result of so many people searching for how to move to the country. Go to Mexico
The Mexican peso plunged as Ms Clinton foundered in the results, so on the plus side, living in Mexico could be cheaper for would-be refugees. But Mr Trump has promised to build a “beautiful wall” across the border, ostensibly to stop “bad hombres” from coming to the US from Mexico, so any bid to flee America must take this into account.

A journalist records a video from screen as Republican U.S. presidential nominee Donald Trump speaks during the first presidential debate
(REUTERS/Carlos Barria)
Donald Trump has denied that he ever denied climate change – but the evidence that he did is still on his Twitter, despite some reports. At the first presidential debate, Mr Trump told the audience that he had never denied global warming. When Hillary Clinton brought up the fact that he had once claimed that climate change was a hoax made up by the Chinese, he claimed it was untrue and he had never said it. But a tweet is still on his Twitter account that proves otherwise. “ The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive,” he wrote on 11 June, 2012.

Donald Trump has already won a number of states and is leading in plenty of others, including the Florida polls, as Super Tuesday 2016 approaches. Lots of prospective voters are speaking out against him and don't feel he has any place even running for office. Many of those voices belong to celebrities, and here is a list of those who have publicly said they will leave the United States if Trump is elected president. Rev. Al Sharpton is the latest to reveal that he is willing to leave the United States if Trump is elected president. Right now, he is giving his support to virtually anyone but Trump, yet he has been very complimentary of Marco Rubio in hopes he wins the Republican nomination, according to The Washington Examiner. "If Donald Trump is the nominee, I'm open to support anyone [else], while I'm also reserving my ticket to get out of here if he wins, only because he'd probably have me deported anyway." According to the NY Daily News, Raven Symone is making a lot more waves than she normally does on The View, and it is for her views on the next election. Symone is planning on moving to Canada if any Republican at all, including Trump, wins the presidency. "I already have my ticket. I literally bought my ticket, I swear."

President-elect Donald Trump spoke of seeking "common ground -- not hostility" with other nations as he pledges to renew the American Dream. People in the states of Oregon, Washington and the hotly contested state of Florida searched "how to move to New Zealand" the most.

A Review Of Trump Immigration Policy
 For FY 2020, the Trump administration established an annual ceiling for refugees 84% lower than the final year of the Obama administration (from 110,000 down to 18,000). As of July 17, 2020, only 7,848 refugees have arrived in the United States in FY 2020. As of December 2019, 24,451 Venezuelans were in U.S. immigration court facing removal, an increase of 277%, from 6,492 in September 2018, reports the Syracuse University Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). “ Rather than make things easier for fleeing Venezuelans, the Trump administration has tightened asylum standards,” according to Miami New Times reporter Manuel Madrid, who writes that many Venezuelans consider being deported to Venezuela to be a death sentence. Despite pleas from religious leaders, the administration has not designated Venezuelans for Temporary Protected Status and has continued to deport people back to Venezuela. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removed more than 900 people to Venezuela between 2017 and 2019. In FY 2016, the last full year of the Obama administration, 182 Venezuelans were removed, compared to 327 in FY 2019 under the Trump administration, an 80% increase. Asylum seekers from Cuba and Venezuela (and Central America) who try to enter the United States and apply for asylum would be unlikely to obtain a hearing under current administration policies at the U.S. border. New asylum regulations also make it difficult for those fleeing persecution to be approved if they receive a hearing. A Significant Increase in Denials for Military Naturalizations:

 A June 2020 presidential proclamation suspended the entry of foreign nationals on H-1B and L-1 (intracompany transferees) visas.

Reports from attorneys and a statement from the State Department confirm that U.S. consular officers in Europe are denying O-1 visas for individuals with ‘extraordinary ability’ based on a health pretext.” Refugees and Asylum Seekers, including from Venezuela, Denied: At least one speaker at the convention discussed the protection Americans once offered Cuban refugees and spoke sympathetically about the victims of Venezuela’s socialist government.

 Jon Stewart, former host of the Daily Show, was one of the the first celebrities to throw his name out there. He had been asked if he'd considered returning to his old desk if Trump were to become president, but he shot that down in an instant and said that wasn't happening. [ Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images]Not only is Stewart prepared to leave the United States, but he's intent on actually departing Earth if Trump gets into office. Stewart said that he would get in a rocket and think about going to another planet because this planet "has gone bonkers." Yes, he said it in a joking fashion and took it to another level, but not all celebrities and comedians are as lighthearted about it. As Fox News reported near the end of January, another host on The View is ready to depart the United States should Donald Trump become president. Whoopi Goldberg believes that the country electing him means "it's time" for her to move out. "I've always been an American, and this has always been my country, and we've always been able to have discussions. And suddenly now it's turning into, you know, 'not them, not them.' And you know, we have a lot of friends whose parents saw this already.

 The Facts
Since 2014, hundreds of thousands of children and families have fled to the United States because of rampant violence and gang activity in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. U.S. laws provide asylum or refugee status to qualified applicants, but the Trump administration says smugglers and bad actors are exploiting these same laws to gain entry. Nielsen says the government has detected hundreds of cases of fraud among migrants traveling with children who are not their own. Trump says he wants to close what he describes as “loopholes” in these humanitarian-relief laws. Advertisement

The Central American refugee crisis developed during President Barack Obama’s administration and continues under Trump. The two administrations have taken different approaches. Obama prioritized the deportation of dangerous people. Once he took office, Trump issued an executive order rolling back much of the Obama-era framework. Obama’s guidelines prioritized the deportation of gang members, those who posed a national security risk and those who had committed felonies. Trump’s January 2017 executive order does not include a priority list for deportations and refers only to “criminal offenses,” which is broad enough to encompass serious felonies as well as misdemeanors.

Within hours of taking the presidential oath of office on Jan. 20, 2021, Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden signed several executive orders to change American immigration policies and reverse hallmark initiatives by his Republican predecessor, Donald Trump. They included actions to end a ban on travel from some Muslim-majority countries and halt construction on a steel-and-concrete wall between Mexico and the U.S. that Trump framed as a solution to curb illegal border crossings by people fleeing poverty and violence in Central America. Meanwhile, during the weeks before Biden’s inauguration, a migrant caravan departed from Honduras and pushed its way through Guatemala, totaling between 7,000 to 8,000 people at its highest point, according to multiple reports from reputable news outlets. Fleeing worsening economic and living conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and two major hurricanes, the group hoped to eventually reach the United States’ southern border, where they would apply for American asylum or seek refuge in the country illegally. Considering the caravan’s timing, numerous people asked us to investigate if, or to what extent, Biden’s stance on immigration — which was a vast departure from Trump’s hardline approach — motivated the crowd of Honduras residents to make the trip or would aid their entrance into the United States. The claim was a mixture of truth and misleading information that misrepresented facts about the caravan and conflated American immigration policies. First, we’ll address the claim that the change in U.S. presidents was a factor in some people’s decisions to flee Honduras or Guatemala and head north in early 2021. In interviews with journalists, several members of the caravan expressed hope that the end of Trump’s tenure and Biden’s election would make it easier for them to escape poverty and violence in Central American and make the U.S. home.

Cher has a history of feuding with Trump even before he announced his candidacy and has been often asked about what she thinks about his attempts to become President. Cher tweeted that if he wins she will "move to Jupiter." Getty
If Cher does get a SpaceX flight to another planet, she might have Jon Stewart as her window-seat buddy, as he joked to People Magazine that he “would consider getting in a rocket and going to another planet, because clearly this planet’s gone bonkers.” Getty
Even before Trump officially got nominated, she promised on The View that she would leave for Canada if any Republican got elected: " I literally bought my ticket, I swear." Getty
Natasha Lyonne might not leave the country, but when asked by Starz where she might go, she said she might check herself into a mental hospital. Getty
George Lopez told TMZ that he would move south of the border if Trump won, and that other Latinos would come with him: " If he wins, he won't have to worry about immigration; we'll all go back." Getty
Al Sharpton said in February that he had "reserved his ticket" to leave if Trump won and that he would support anyone necessary to beat him.

According to Mashable, Google searches for “How Do I Move To Canada” spiked after the Republican frontrunner won seven states on Super Tuesday. But Canada won’t get a Trump-brand border wall, so Mexico might be a safer bet for those who really want to get away. Mexico is already home to about 1 million U.S. citizens (mostly retirees), and thousands of other expats from all over the world. It's also home to a growing population of international refugees. Mexico has had a long history as an asylum country. The Aztec nation was a safe haven for thousands of Spaniards fleeing the Franco dictatorship in the 1930s, and became an adoptive country for more than a thousand European Jews escaping the Nazis during WWII. Further back in time, Mexico took in Americans—including U.S. soldiers—who were fleeing the brutal U.S. Civil War. It also gave safe harbor to U.S. citizens accused of being communists during the heady days of Sen. Joseph McCarthy’s infamous witch hunt in the 1940s-50s.

Add to that, most people who live in Canada don’t yearn to move to the United States. For most people the U.S. is arguably a less safe, less sane, slightly warmer version of Canada.

The vast majority of whom will be told that they can’t stay and that they need to go back to their country of origin.

Trump’s New Ban Leaves Few Spots for Refugees, Even the Hunted - The New York Times Trump’s New Ban Leaves Few Spots for Refugees, Even the Hunted
Trump’s New Ban Leaves Few Spots for Refugees, Even the Hunted Altogether, the United Nations referred more than 100,000 refugees from around the globe last year for resettlement in the United States. The Obama administration accepted nearly 85,000 of them in the 2016 fiscal year, before raising the ceiling considerably for 2017. Now Mr. Trump’s order will effectively leave tens of thousands of families in limbo, all vying for the sliver of seats still available. Veronica and her sister — whose last names are being withheld to protect their identities — have been waiting to find out whether they will be among the chosen. They and their father have been interviewed a total of four times, but months have passed. Members of El Salvador’s most notorious gang, MS-13, have made menacing phone calls suggesting that more killings are coming, the family says. So the girls, their father, aunts and uncles abandoned their houses and ran. But in a country the size of Massachusetts, there are only so many places to hide. They have already moved twice. Officials and immigrant advocates in Central America fear that as the Trump administration cites the danger of admitting potential terrorists cloaked as refugees from nations like Syria, it is disregarding the tens of thousands of people here who are being terrorized by street gangs that actually originated in the United States.

 Fleeing worsening economic and living conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and two major hurricanes, the group hoped to eventually reach the United States’ southern border, where they would apply for American asylum or seek refuge in the country illegally. Considering the caravan’s timing, numerous people asked us to investigate if, or to what extent, Biden’s stance on immigration — which was a vast departure from Trump’s hardline approach — motivated the crowd of Honduras residents to make the trip or would aid their entrance into the United States.

First, we’ll address the claim that the change in U.S. presidents was a factor in some people’s decisions to flee Honduras or Guatemala and head north in early 2021. In interviews with journalists, several members of the caravan expressed hope that the end of Trump’s tenure and Biden’s election would make it easier for them to escape poverty and violence in Central American and make the U.S. home. Those statements included: Per the AP’s report, an 18-year-old member of the caravan, Eber Sosa, expressed the hope of many that something would change with Biden. “ Now that the new president is here we are waiting for the answer, all of us immigrants who are here from Honduras,” Sosa said. “ We are looking to see what the new president says to move forward.” Another person, Miguel Angel, told the French news agency Agence France-Presse for a Jan. 15 video that he was also heading north because of the changing administrations. “

President-elect Donald Trump was accorded a chilly but deferential welcome at the White House this morning as the president-elect met with President Barack Obama for a 90-minute private meeting in the Oval Office. In the first stage of a 72-day transition process between Tuesday’s unexpected election victory and Trump’s inauguration on 20 January, Obama said the two men discussed “foreign and domestic policy” and how to ensure the handover of power went smoothly. “I want to emphasize to you, Mr. President-elect, that we now are going to do everything we can to help you succeed because if you succeed, then the country succeeds,” Obama told his successor during a brief photo opportunity afterwards. Jihadis have welcomed Trump’s surprise victory in the American presidential race, saying his election would sow greater division and expose what they described as the hatred and racism of the west towards Muslims. The endorsement of the election result by extreme Islamist figures highlighted fears that Trump’s divisive rhetoric and call to ban Muslims from entering the US could empower radicals who have argued that the west seeks Islam’s destruction and is at war with its adherents. Tens of thousands of Americans held further protests and acts of dissent against the election after a wave of demonstrations across the US on Wednesday night in which dozens were arrested. Protesters began mobilizing in major cities for a third day after crowds had descended on Trump buildings in New York, Chicago and Washington into the early hours to rail against the shock election result. There was a spate of claims of hate crimes in the US made on social media and to police today, in which the alleged victims said abusers had in some way cited Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election. Social media was rife with accounts of sometimes violent incidents of hate targeted at Muslims, Latinos and African Americans. Samantha Bee blamed white people for ruining America:

A Review Of Trump Immigration Policy

For FY 2020, the Trump administration established an annual ceiling for refugees 84% lower than the final year of the Obama administration (from 110,000 down to 18,000). As of July 17, 2020, only 7,848 refugees have arrived in the United States in FY 2020. As of December 2019, 24,451 Venezuelans were in U.S. immigration court facing removal, an increase of 277%, from 6,492 in September 2018, reports the Syracuse University Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). “ Rather than make things easier for fleeing Venezuelans, the Trump administration has tightened asylum standards,” according to Miami New Times reporter Manuel Madrid, who writes that many Venezuelans consider being deported to Venezuela to be a death sentence. Despite pleas from religious leaders, the administration has not designated Venezuelans for Temporary Protected Status and has continued to deport people back to Venezuela. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removed more than 900 people to Venezuela between 2017 and 2019. In FY 2016, the last full year of the Obama administration, 182 Venezuelans were removed, compared to 327 in FY 2019 under the Trump administration, an 80% increase. Asylum seekers from Cuba and Venezuela (and Central America) who try to enter the United States and apply for asylum would be unlikely to obtain a hearing under current administration policies at the U.S. border. New asylum regulations also make it difficult for those fleeing persecution to be approved if they receive a hearing. A Significant Increase in Denials for Military Naturalizations:

So you want to move to Canada, eh? It’s hard to up and move to another country, Canada or otherwise. Like the United States, other countries limit the number and types of immigrants they will accept each year, and it’s a time-consuming process. A hopeful émigré has to have a reason to leave besides not liking the new American president. To immigrate to Canada, a reason could be having close family living there or a Canadian spouse willing to sponsor an immigration visa. The Canadian government also evaluates the potential economic contribution of permanent resident applicants, like whether there is a job opportunity awaiting them in Canada. The government also considers education level and language skills. "In short, any American who plans to move permanently to Canada if Donald Trump is elected better check to see if they can get in, and expect to wait a long time — at least months, if not years — before they get permission," said Stephen Kelly, a former American diplomat in Canada and a visiting professor at Duke University. " Who knows, it might take so long Trump’s first term would be over before they get in." Adam Alter, a psychology and marketing professor at New York University, has written in The Washington Post and The Atlantic that the vast majority of people who make these threats won’t ever act on them. People tend to far overestimate how upset they will be if a dreaded outcome occurs, including when a candidate they oppose wins.

After decades in America, the newly deported return to a Mexico they barely recognize - The Washington Post

 Then the men, who had spent as many as 20 years in the United States before being caught and held in detention for several weeks, walked out into a Mexico many of them barely remember, where job opportunities are scarce and worries about the worst inflation in a decade await them. In the wake of new enforcement policies announced by the Trump administration recently that dramatically expand the pool of undocumented immigrants targeted for deportation, Mexico is bracing for an influx of men and women like them. Their arrival — along with a surge of undocumented immigrants leaving the United States voluntarily — promises to transform Mexican society in the same way their departure did. José Armando López García sits in the small Mexico City home he shares with his 92-year-old mother. López was deported last year after being caught using a fake driver’s licence. He lived in the United States for 27 years and left his wife and five children behind in Las Vegas. ( Antonio Olivo/The Washington Post)
Since President Trump took office in January, the number of U.S. government flights landing in Mexico City loaded with deportees has jumped from two a week under President Barack Obama to three, Mexican officials said. The arrivals include convicted felons but also many without criminal records. The numbers of immigrants deported from the United States waned in the final years of the Obama administration, which took steps to focus enforcement on hardened criminals and recent arrivals. Trump, who made immigration enforcement a centerpiece of his campaign, has been clear that he views illegal immigrants as potential security threats and competitors to Americans for jobs.

After decades in America, the newly deported return to a Mexico they barely recognize - The Washington Post

Then the men, who had spent as many as 20 years in the United States before being caught and held in detention for several weeks, walked out into a Mexico many of them barely remember, where job opportunities are scarce and worries about the worst inflation in a decade await them. In the wake of new enforcement policies announced by the Trump administration recently that dramatically expand the pool of undocumented immigrants targeted for deportation, Mexico is bracing for an influx of men and women like them. Their arrival — along with a surge of undocumented immigrants leaving the United States voluntarily — promises to transform Mexican society in the same way their departure did. José Armando López García sits in the small Mexico City home he shares with his 92-year-old mother. López was deported last year after being caught using a fake driver’s licence. He lived in the United States for 27 years and left his wife and five children behind in Las Vegas. ( Antonio Olivo/The Washington Post)
Since President Trump took office in January, the number of U.S. government flights landing in Mexico City loaded with deportees has jumped from two a week under President Barack Obama to three, Mexican officials said. The arrivals include convicted felons but also many without criminal records. The numbers of immigrants deported from the United States waned in the final years of the Obama administration, which took steps to focus enforcement on hardened criminals and recent arrivals. Trump, who made immigration enforcement a centerpiece of his campaign, has been clear that he views illegal immigrants as potential security threats and competitors to Americans for jobs.

800,000 people will leave New York and California over the next three years due to the new tax bill, conservative economists Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore said in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal. Other economists dispute this finding, say there is no connection between taxes and migration. These economists claim high-tax states will likely generate more wealth than they lose. watch now

Conservative economists Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore are predicting a new mass exodus of wealth from New York and California because of the new tax law. But academics who have studied taxes and migration call the forecast “pure nonsense.“ In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal headlined “So Long, California. Sayonara, New York,” Laffer and Moore (who have both advised President Donald Trump) say the new tax bill will cause a net 800,000 people to move out of California and New York over the next three years. The tax changes limit the deduction of state and local taxes to $10,000, so many high-earning taxpayers in high-tax states will actually face a tax increase under the new tax code. VIDEO

Laffer and Moore say that the effective income-tax rate (what people actually pay) for high earners in California will jump from 8.5 percent to 13 percent. Wealthy Manhattanites would face a similar increase, they say.

The Never Trump movement, also called the #nevertrump, Stop Trump, anti-Trump, or Dump Trump movement, began as an effort on the part of a group of Republicans and other prominent conservatives (known as Never Trump Republicans) to prevent Republican front-runner and now former President of the United States Donald Trump from obtaining the Republican Party presidential nomination and following his nomination the presidency for the 2016 United States presidential election. Trump remained unsupported by 20 percent of Republican members of Congress in the general election. Following Trump's election in November 2016, some in the movement refocused their efforts on defeating Trump in 2020. Trump entered the Republican primaries on June 16, 2015, at a time when governors Jeb Bush and Scott Walker and Senator Marco Rubio were viewed as early frontrunners. Trump was considered a longshot to win the nomination, but his large media profile gave him a chance to spread his message and appear in the Republican debates.

Somali migrants are 'disaster' for Minnesota, says Donald Trump | Donald Trump | The Guardian Somali migrants are 'disaster' for Minnesota, says Donald Trump
Somali migrants are 'disaster' for Minnesota, says Donald Trump
Unauthorized immigration in the US
 Barack Obama has deported more than 2.5 million people, more than any other president. His executive orders protect at least 1.2 million people from deportations. Three Somali Americans, two US citizens and one a lawful resident, pleaded guilty in June to trying to join the terror group Islamic State, or Isis. Law enforcement officials have said that more than 30 young men from Minnesota have left the county to join Isis or al-Shabaab, which operates in east Africa. According to the 2010 census, more than 85,000 Somali Americans lived in the US with the largest concentration living in the Twin Cities. Despite integration campaigns by the community – a former refugee is poised to win office as a state lawmaker, for instance – the area remains one of the most racially segregated in the US. The Republican nominee has said he would bar refugees from settling in places without the approval of local governments. A federal court ruled against Trump’s running mate, Indiana governor Mike Pence, in October, when he tried to block Syrian refugees from settling in his state. In that decision, judge Richard Posner said Pence’s actions were discriminatory, and “the equivalent of his saying (not that he does say) that he wants to forbid black people to settle in Indiana not because they’re black but because he’s afraid of them, and since race is therefore not his motive he isn’t discriminating”. In Minneapolis on Sunday, Trump said blocking refugees would be “the least [government] can do for you”.

 The Facts
Since 2014, hundreds of thousands of children and families have fled to the United States because of rampant violence and gang activity in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. U.S. laws provide asylum or refugee status to qualified applicants, but the Trump administration says smugglers and bad actors are exploiting these same laws to gain entry. Nielsen says the government has detected hundreds of cases of fraud among migrants traveling with children who are not their own. Trump says he wants to close what he describes as “loopholes” in these humanitarian-relief laws. Advertisement

The Central American refugee crisis developed during President Barack Obama’s administration and continues under Trump. The two administrations have taken different approaches. Obama prioritized the deportation of dangerous people. Once he took office, Trump issued an executive order rolling back much of the Obama-era framework. Obama’s guidelines prioritized the deportation of gang members, those who posed a national security risk and those who had committed felonies. Trump’s January 2017 executive order does not include a priority list for deportations and refers only to “criminal offenses,” which is broad enough to encompass serious felonies as well as misdemeanors.

@elle_emm_aitch Donald Trump Can't come up with a hairstyle that looks human,how can he come up with a plan to defeat ISIS.
— Cher (@cher) June 16, 2015
 "If Donald Trump is the nominee, I'm open to support anyone [else], while I'm also reserving my ticket to get out of here if he wins, only because he'd probably have me deported anyway." According to the NY Daily News, Raven Symone is making a lot more waves than she normally does on The View, and it is for her views on the next election. Symone is planning on moving to Canada if any Republican at all, including Trump, wins the presidency. "I already have my ticket. I literally bought my ticket, I swear." Jon Stewart, former host of the Daily Show, was one of the the first celebrities to throw his name out there. He had been asked if he'd considered returning to his old desk if Trump were to become president, but he shot that down in an instant and said that wasn't happening. [ Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images]Not only is Stewart prepared to leave the United States, but he's intent on actually departing Earth if Trump gets into office. Stewart said that he would get in a rocket and think about going to another planet because this planet "has gone bonkers." Yes, he said it in a joking fashion and took it to another level, but not all celebrities and comedians are as lighthearted about it.

10 US immigration issues to watch in 2020
1. How will immigration play out on the campaign trail?
2. Is this the end of asylum at the southern US border?
3. Will the “Remain in Mexico” policy (MPP) last?
4. How will the US handle an increase in Mexican migration?
5. Will US refugee resettlement shrink even more?
6. Will DACA survive?
7. Will Trump manage to build any more of his border wall?
8. How much will the migrant detainee population grow?
9. Will citizenship delays affect people’s ability to vote in November?
10. How else might the Trump administration cut legal immigration?
Want a seat at the table?
 Though most came from the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, an increasing number were Mexican nationals. This shift is set to continue in 2020. Mexicans are fleeing escalating violence both in longtime hotbeds for drug cartels — such as Guerrero, Veracruz and Michoacán states — but also in newer, disputed areas for criminal groups, such as Zacatecas state. The policy of forcing certain asylum-seekers to wait on the Mexican side of the border — a process US border officials call “metering”— has sparked protest among Mexican migrants. In recent weeks, Mexicans who are waiting in Tijuana, a city at the US border, are demanding Mexico’s government to do more to assist people fleeing violence in Mexico. There are also signs from top immigration officials that the Trump administration may try to deport Mexican asylum-seekers to Guatemala, a proposal that would certainly be challenged in US courts. A new pilot proposal is also underway in El Paso, Texas, to speed up the return of rejected Mexican asylum applicants to their home countries. 5. Will US refugee resettlement shrink even more? The Trump administration cut US refugee admissions to a record-low ceiling of 18,000 for fiscal year 2020.

In the 2008 book, “ The Big Sort ,” journalist Bill Bishop and sociologist Robert Cushing explore the reasons behind the United States’ deepening political, economic, and cultural divisions along racial, class, and geographic lines. Despite vast improvements in communication technology and the explosive growth of available content and information, explain Bishop and Cushing, like-minded people continue to self-segregate into discrete, often insular communities. There’s a good chance your neighbors look, think, and vote like you – and, perhaps more importantly, that you’re rarely forced to confront facts or opinions that challenge your worldview. Against this backdrop, it’s no surprise that many Americans feel threatened by political movements and leaders that threaten their deeply held beliefs. Why Leave? According to Google Trends data collected and analyzed by CNBC, search queries for “How to move to Canada” briefly spiked when President George W. Bush won reelection, in late 2004. They again rose dramatically after then-candidate Donald Trump won a series of state primaries and caucuses during the 2016 presidential campaign, cementing his status as front-runner for the Republican Party’s nomination. Repulsed by Trump’s vitriolic statements about various religious, ethnic, and cultural minorities, and shocked that he’d become the odds-on favorite to become a major party’s standard-bearer, a not-insignificant number of Americans apparently began thinking seriously about packing up and heading somewhere else. Across the pond, The Telegraph observed a similar spike among Britons following the United Kingdom’s shock vote, in June 2016, to leave the European Union. Indeed, political polarization is straining the social fabric on both sides of the Atlantic and bleeding over into once-apolitical realms.

Right now, Donald Trump is leading considerably in the early Florida polls. Numerous political experts expect him to pull away on Super Tuesday, and move far enough in front of other Republican candidates that he won't be able to be caught. If Donald Trump does end up winning the presidency, then there could end up being a lot more controversy than there is now. One other thing to realize is that if Trump does end up in the White House, there will be a lot less celebrities in the United States as Al Sharpton, Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Jon Stewart, and others may be gone. [Image by Tom Pennington/Getty Images]

 As you can see, the number kept increasing dramatically and by 2016, the number of refugees grew by 664,000 people. This is because once Fidel Castro retired in 2008, Cubans were more free to immigrate to the U.S.
This video shows Cubans Americans in Miami joyously celebrating the death of Fidel Castro in 2016. They are celebrating and not mourning because their country is finally free from Castro's dictatorship. In 2017, the Wet Foot Dry Foot policy ended. Now, Cubans that enter the U.S. without a visa are subject to deportation, but if they have a visa, they are eligible for a green card after one year of living here. President Trump is often called xenophobic, and is perceived to be unwelcoming to refugees. The political state in this country that Cubans used to desire is in danger of disappearing. Isabel's family, like many Cubans, risked their lives and their family's lives to live in a country of democracy and liberty, instead of being lead by a communist dictator. One should ask themselves this question: would you want to leave your home and risk your and your family's life to be a part of this political system?

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday that has extreme repercussions for refugees across the world. The order indefinitely bans refugees from Syria from entering the U.S., it blocks refugees from any country from entering the U.S. over the next 120 days, and it blocks citizens—refugee or otherwise—from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen from entering the U.S. over the next 90 days. Right after the order was signed, airports in the U.S. and abroad began detaining refugees and residents from those seven countries, and some people were denied entry and sent back overseas, according to the New York Times. Refugees are people who are forced to leave their home in order to escape conflict and persecution, according to the UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency. There are over 21 million refugees worldwide, according to the latest UNHRC figures. By placing this temporary ban on refugees, the U.S. is denying safety and opportunity to people across the world. And it's dismissing what refugees stand to bring to our country as well—diversity, talent, ingenuity, and so much more. Steve Jobs, for example, was the biological son of a Syrian migrant. Here, we rounded up 15 people you definitely know, but might not have known are refugees.

Trump’s New Ban Leaves Few Spots for Refugees, Even the Hunted - The New York Times Trump’s New Ban Leaves Few Spots for Refugees, Even the Hunted
Trump’s New Ban Leaves Few Spots for Refugees, Even the Hunted “I have a client who has not left his house since July,” said Berta Guevara, a lawyer at the Independent Monitoring Group of El Salvador, which helps people with their refugee applications. Ms. Guevara said that many people in danger now believe that the United States no longer wants them. “A one-month delay to a person who, on any day if they are seen, they will be killed — to that person, every day is a terrible day,” Ms. Guevara said. Even before Mr. Trump’s executive order on Monday, officials at the Department of Homeland Security said they had not been taking on any new cases since the president first sought to suspend refugee admissions in late January, effectively freezing new applications to the program. The new executive order will prolong that freeze for at least another 120 days, leaving children under threat in the region with some daunting choices, including staying where they are or making the long, dangerous trek to the southwest border of the United States to apply for asylum or some other form of humanitarian relief. “There’s still this ambivalence in regarding the Central American situation as a refugee crisis,” said Wendy Young, the president of Kids in Need of Defense, a Washington organization that offers legal assistance to unaccompanied immigrant children. “There’s a perception in today’s world that refugees are people who are fleeing war, and that gang and drug violence is not war,” she said. Longer term, the Obama program in Central America could also be under threat because of its frequent reliance on a special provision called humanitarian parole, which allows certain immigrants to enter the United States temporarily even if they do not qualify as refugees. Some Republicans who want to limit immigration call humanitarian parole an overused back door to entering the United States. And Mr. Trump, in an executive order last month that sought to tighten border security, took aim at “the abuse of parole and asylum provisions.”

President Trump suspended the U.S. refugee program for 120 days, banned all immigrants from seven Muslim countries for 90 days and ordered his administration to develop "extreme vetting" measures for immigrants from those countries to keep "radical Islamic terrorists" out of the United States. The order, signed Friday, also bars all Syrians from entering the U.S., and gives preference in admission to Christians, whom he said are persecuted in majority Muslim countries.

Here's a look at what's involved with the refugee ban: What's the difference between immigrants and refugees? Immigrants are people from other countries who come to the United States for a variety of personal reasons, such as seeking a better life than in their native countries. Refugees are a special class of immigrants who seek asylum from war, persecution and other risks to their safety. They have protected status under international law.

 Meanwhile, the comedian Schumer dismissed Tuesday her pre-election comment on BBC about moving to Europe, saying it was made “in jest,” and blasted those calling for her to take a hike. “Anyone saying pack your bags is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist homophobic openly disrespectful woman abuser,” said Ms. Schumer in a post on Instagram. Ms. Cyrus, who said on Instagram in March that “I am moving if he is president” and “I don’t say things I don’t mean,” posted messages on social media indicating that she would accept Mr. Trump as president. “If we want Donald Trump to accept us … we must be accepting towards his presidency & his promise to ‘unify’ our country and ‘make America great,’” said the pop singer, a judge on NBC-TV’s “The Voice,” in an Instagram post Wednesday. “Happy hippies, we adjust and we accept everyone who they are and so Donald Trump, I accept you and deserve to say that I even accept you as the president of the United States and that’s fine. That’s fine because I think now I want to be a hopeful hippie,” said Ms. Cyrus in a tearful video Tuesday on Twitter and Facebook. Other stars who had talked about bolting in the event of a Trump win include Cher, Bryan Cranston, Lena Dunham, Whoopi Goldberg and Samuel L. Jackson in a list compiled by the Hill. Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos announced Wednesday that he had asked his travel agent to arrange for a first-class ticket to Canada for Ms. Dunham, who had said in April that, “I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver.” So far Ms. Dunham has made no public comment about her post-election plans.

Meanwhile, the comedian Schumer dismissed Tuesday her pre-election comment on BBC about moving to Europe, saying it was made “in jest,” and blasted those calling for her to take a hike. “Anyone saying pack your bags is just as disgusting as anyone who voted for this racist homophobic openly disrespectful woman abuser,” said Ms. Schumer in a post on Instagram. Ms. Cyrus, who said on Instagram in March that “I am moving if he is president” and “I don’t say things I don’t mean,” posted messages on social media indicating that she would accept Mr. Trump as president. “If we want Donald Trump to accept us … we must be accepting towards his presidency & his promise to ‘unify’ our country and ‘make America great,’” said the pop singer, a judge on NBC-TV’s “The Voice,” in an Instagram post Wednesday. “Happy hippies, we adjust and we accept everyone who they are and so Donald Trump, I accept you and deserve to say that I even accept you as the president of the United States and that’s fine. That’s fine because I think now I want to be a hopeful hippie,” said Ms. Cyrus in a tearful video Tuesday on Twitter and Facebook. Other stars who had talked about bolting in the event of a Trump win include Cher, Bryan Cranston, Lena Dunham, Whoopi Goldberg and Samuel L. Jackson in a list compiled by the Hill. Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos announced Wednesday that he had asked his travel agent to arrange for a first-class ticket to Canada for Ms. Dunham, who had said in April that, “I know a lot of people have been threatening to do this, but I really will. I know a lovely place in Vancouver.” So far Ms. Dunham has made no public comment about her post-election plans.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg joked in an interview with The New York Times in July that it’d be time to move to New Zealand if Trump were to win. “Now it’s time for us to move to New Zealand,” she said quoting her husband who died in 2010. “ I can’t imagine what the country would be with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. For the court, it could be — I don’t even want to contemplate that.” Ginsburg later apologized for her comments, calling them “ill-advised.” Civil rights activist Al Sharpton told a reporter earlier this year that he’s “reserving my ticket out of here if [Trump] wins.”

U.S. law grants migrants the right to seek asylum, regardless of how they enter the United States. The federal statutes center on “non-refoulement” — not sending people back to countries where they’d probably be persecuted, harmed or killed, based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or particular social group. Trump’s policies to end asylum have been consistently met by court challenges. These tactics have included separating families or making them wait for U.S. immigration court appearances in dangerous Mexican border cities; indefinitely detaining others with no chance of bail or parole despite having broken no laws; and in the name of “public health,” rapidly expelling nearly every migrant, including unaccompanied minors, with no chance to seek asylum, no coronavirus testing and no way to track what happened to them. Trump’s executive actions leave perhaps the biggest bureaucratic tangle a Biden administration would be left to undo, with a backlogged immigration court system and inevitable future spikes in migration. Trump’s pattern of testing institutions and fundamental assumptions about governance with his immigration policy has played out with mixed results. Advertisement

Donald Trump Impeachment: How Quickly Could It Happen? - POLITICO Magazine Could Trump Be Impeached Shortly After He Takes Office?
Could Trump Be Impeached Shortly After He Takes Office? President Trump, survivor of a Republican civil war and Hillary Clinton’s Democratic machine, is making good on his promise to "Make America Great Again." He has ordered federal contractors to start building the wall between the United States and Mexico, though neither Mexico nor the U.S. Congress will pay for it. Trump has directed the National Guard to patrol Detroit, Chicago, New York and other neighborhoods with large Muslim populations, and accusations are swirling that he is illegally rounding up suspected Islamic extremists and shipping them off to special detention centers, including the recently reopened Alcatraz Island and to several of the World War II-era internment camps the U.S. government used for Japanese-Americans. Despite the counsel of his foreign policy and military advisers, Trump has commanded the CIA to resume waterboarding and other forms of torture to obtain information about imminent attacks. Inside the intelligence and defense communities, a full-blown internal war has broken out as some interrogators and high-ranking officials follow Trump’s orders, while others refuse to cooperate. Some resign their posts and begin leaking details to the media and Congress. Trump has also ordered airstrikes on the family members of known terrorists from Afghanistan to Libya. CNN airs live coverage of the bombings and protests sweep across the Middle East, North Africa and Europe as the death toll rises for the parents, siblings, spouses and children of ISIL and Al Qaeda fighters. At the United Nations, a resolution is passed, calling for Trump to be tried on war crimes. On talk radio and cable news, the #NeverTrump movement has morphed into #DumpTrump:

People fleeing their homes often seek safety elsewhere within their countries, moving multiple times to no avail. They embark on the journey to the U.S. because they are absolutely desperate and must escape, despite the dangers of the journey. “Currently there is no place scarier than their homes,” says Meghan Lopez, regional vice president of the IRC in Latin America. The danger does not end after they flee; asylum seekers from Central America must also overcome the extremely dangerous path north fraught with gang violence similar to the areas they are fleeing, gender-based violence targeting women, girls and the LGBTQ+ community, and risk of human trafficking of children, teens and women. For that reason, many Central Americans fleeing to the U.S. border have traveled together in caravans for safety. How did seeking asylum change under the Trump Administration?

 the company created ceremonial swords during the Civil War; then, during the 1880s, it was called on to redesign the Great Seal of the United States that still appears on American currency. In more recent times, President Lyndon B. Johnson and first lady Lady Bird Johnson commissioned Tiffany to design their official White House china. Mrs. Trump’s choice of Tiffany & Co. for a gift to the Obamas is an interesting one, given the recent controversy surrounding the Tiffany & Co. flagship store and Trump Tower in New York City. The famed jeweler said earlier this week that it attributed the decline in U.S. sales during the holiday shopping season to Trump’s election. The brand said that overall U.S. sales were significantly affected by the 14 percent decline in sales at the flagship store, adjacent to Trump Tower, due to increased security following Trump’s election in November. In mid-December, the brand unveiled monogrammed, branded covers for the police barricadesset up on parts of Fifth Avenue around Trump Tower as part of the post-election security protocol for Trump.

Responses to “The Real October Surprise: Trump to Drop Out”
 Trump will walk away from the White House and dedicate the rest of his life to pushing two storylines. The first is that he was the United States’ greatest but most abused president. The second is that he and his followers — the “real people” — were stabbed in the back by the liberals, the Clintons, the Bidens, the Deep State, Fake News, George Soros, the radical left and Antifa. But why would Trump quit? Reason #1
Trump is too emotionally frail to ride out a November drubbing. He felt compelled to lie about his numbers in the 2016 U.S. presidential election even when he won that election. This time, when he might get roundly trounced, there would be no fiction he could turn to for cover. His ratings are everything to him. Reason #2
Trump is a confidence man — and con men know when a con has run its course. Investigators are closing in on his taxes, the tell-all books from the staffers he has fired and the relatives he has alienated are getting bigger headlines than he is.

Puerto Ricans are US citizens, and, like any US citizen, may vote in Presidential elections if resident in a US state or the District of Columbia (according to the laws of that state or district) at the time of any such election, and may vote in House or Senate elections if resident in a US state (according to the laws of that state) at the time of any such election. US federal law places limits on how long a state can require a person to be resident prior to an election to thirty days; thus, a Puerto Rican who wants to vote in federal elections merely has to move to the mainland at least 30 days prior to the election, register to vote, and then remain resident until after the election. According to a number of sources, there is a significant flight of Puerto Ricans from the island due to the effects of Hurricane Maria and President Trump’s badly botched relief effort. Most of them are settling in Florida, in sufficient quantity that Florida is now at risk for Republicans. At least 200,000 of them have moved to Florida so far, with possibly as many as a million more to follow. Trump only won Florida by about 120,000 votes, and as every last one of the diaspora is expected to vote against Trump in 2020, it’s pretty much a guarantee that Florida is lost to the Trump reelect. Trump can win without Florida, but it will be much much harder. It’s entirely possible that the lackluster response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico will cost Trump reelection.

Trump’s Overhaul of Immigration Is Worse Than You Think
This administration has attacked every aspect of the immigration system — and it won’t be easy to undo.
 “I understand when you’re a criminal and you do bad things, you shouldn’t be in the country,” Helen Beristain, who voted for Mr. Trump, said when her husband, Roberto, owner of a restaurant in Granger, Ind., was ordered to be deported to Mexico in March 2017 after 20 years in the United States. But, she said, when “you support and you help and you pay taxes and you give jobs to people, you should be able to stay.” Not anymore. While Mr. Trump promised a crackdown on illegal immigration during his presidency, he has also eagerly pursued reductions in authorized immigration. The administration had threatened to furlough 70 percent of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services employees, blaming the pandemic, but some of those employees said the real problem was restrictive policies and delays in visa applications that have sharply reduced revenue from the processing fees that fund the agency. At the same time, applications for permanent residency have declined since the administration announced it would adopt a rule that would prevent those considered likely to receive public benefits from becoming permanent residents. Among recent green-card recipients, 69 percent had at least one of the characteristics that would be weighed, according to the Migration Policy Institute. Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy secretary of homeland security, recently announced that the number of H-1B visas for skilled workers would be cut by one-third because of tighter criteria for who can get them. Critics said this would make American companies shift more work abroad. Mr. Trump also has ended “temporary protected status” for 400,000 people from El Salvador, Haiti, Sudan and elsewhere who have legally lived and worked in the United States for decades after being provided a haven from war or natural disaster.

Why (and How) to Talk to Trump Supporters - SF Weekly
Why (and How) to Talk to Trump Supporters
1. Go in for the long haul.
2. Be patient, compassion-driven, and sincerely generous. See the best in them, and speak to that.
3. Do your research, and stand firm about the facts.
4. Put it all on the line.
5. Ask them to join you in taking a stand for peaceful discourse and disagreement.
 They are citizens with real fears and vulnerabilities, complex lives and loved ones, who also have the ability to learn and grow. After the election, people who vote for the Republican candidate this year will continue to live in the same nation as those of us who genuinely fear Trump being invited on so much as a tour of the White House. We cannot pretend that ignoring such a sizable chunk of the population can lead to any civic good. When we shut down conversation and alienate conservatives, we abandon them to their worst fears. Too many of us have declared ourselves unwilling to speak with, listen to, or befriend anyone who is pro-Trump at a time when we all need compassionate conversation the most. Trump only makes sense in an echo chamber. All of us have the power to prevent him having one if we fill the American conversation with the best of who we are from the ground up. When we waste that opportunity, we condemn ourselves and folks who are directly endangered to a disastrous future. To be clear, I am not advocating that people of color, immigrants, survivors of sexual assault, or anyone who feels potentially physically endangered by Trump or his supporters force themselves into situations that could cause them harm. If you feel that speaking with Trump supporters could literally risk your safety, please take care of yourself by staying away.

Trump's controversial comments have cost him business partnerships
But the financial impact of those losses might not hurt the billionaire
(CNN) —
Donald Trump’s foes want to hit him where it hurts: His wallet. A slew of corporations from Macy’s to NBC to ESPN to NASCAR have abandoned business deals with the Republican presidential candidate after he remarked that some immigrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico were “rapists.” The PGA was one of the latest organizations to dump the bombastic businessman, announcing on Tuesday that it would not hold its 2015 Grand Slam of Golf tournament at a Trump golf course in Los Angeles. All told, the loss of income could add up to millions of dollars. But until Trump files detailed financial disclosure forms, it is difficult to estimate just how hard his profits may take a hit. Trump’s assets tied to the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants that he partially owns and were dropped by Univision and NBC are estimated to be around $15 million.

 Surveys have suggested that between 10 and 14% of Puerto Rico’s 3.4 million people are considering moving to the US mainland, said the US congressman Darren Soto, Florida’s first Puerto Rican elected to Washington. “Only time will tell whether we have enough resources because right now it’s uncertain how many people are coming,” he told the Guardian. “We’re doing our best to meet the challenges we expect to occur with a major relocation. Our schools are enrolling children even if they don’t have all their paperwork, we’ve extended two months of food stamps, our hospitals are ready to take in seniors, we’ve opened a shelter for those who need short-term housing,” he said.

But even before the storm, large numbers of Puerto Ricans were already helping to reshape central Florida’s economic and political landscapes. Fleeing the island’s $73bn debt crisis and increasingly bleak employment prospects at home, many families have moved to the Sunshine State, especially in Orange and Osceola counties, which Soto represents. The Democratic politician said the newcomers will have been closely watching Donald Trump’s response to the hurricane crisis, particularly his “tone-deaf” tweets criticising the San Juan mayor, Carmen Yulín Cruz – and will have been angered by what they saw. “I can tell you President Trump’s tweet attacking many on the island will be a major factor in how a lot of folks arriving here will perceive the political system,” he said. “

 The firm said it examined public data, published by the US government every three months, of the names of all Americans who give up their citizenship. "These are mainly people who already left the US and just decided they've had enough of everything," Alistair Bambridge, a partner at Bambridge Accountants, told CNN. "What we've seen is people are over everything happening with President Donald Trump, how the coronavirus pandemic is being handled, and the political policies in the US at the moment." Read More
About a fifth of adults in the US have moved due to Covid-19 or know someone who did, a new study shows
While many people who renounced their citizenship complain of being unhappy with today's current political climate in the US, another reason for their decision is often taxes, according to Bambridge. US citizens living abroad are still required to file tax returns every year, report their foreign bank accounts, investments, and pensions, he said. While these citizens were able to claim the $1,200 stimulus checks and $500 for each child, for many, the annual US tax reporting "is just too much." Americans who want to relinquish their citizenship must pay $2,350 and appear in person at the US embassy in their country if they are not in America. Despite the risks that come with giving up a US citizenship, Bambridge predicts that the trend will only continue going up. "A lot of people are waiting for the November election to see what's going to happen," he said. " If President Trump is reelected, we believe there will be another wave of people who will decide to renounce their citizenship."

 In the video, Taylor accuses Trump of directing FEMA to withhold disaster funding to California following devastating wildfires in that state because voters in that state had not voted for him for President. "He told us to stop giving money to people whose houses had burned down from a wildfire because he was so rageful that people in the state of California didn't support him and that politically it wasn't a base for him," Taylor says in the video. Taylor also accused Trump of wanting to reapply the "zero-tolerance" immigration policy that separated migrant children from their families in a more draconian fashion in order to deter illegal immigration. "He said he wanted to go further and have a deliberate policy of ripping children away from their parents to show those parents that they shouldn't come to the border in the first place," Taylor said in the video. And when officials pushed back on many of Trump's demands because they were illegal or unfeasible, Taylor said Trump responded by citing "magical authorities" he claimed to have as President. "He was one of the most unfocused and undisciplined senior executives I have ever encountered," Taylor said. " I came away completely equipped based on firsthand experience that the President was ill-equipped and wouldn't become equipped to do his job effectively -- and what's worse, was actively doing damage to our national security." Taylor also said in his Washington Post op-ed that when Trump moved to close a section of the US-Mexico border in March 2019, he told officials that he opted for a section of the California-Mexico border -- rather than Texas or Arizona -- "because it would be better for him politically." Taylor has worked at Google's public policy arm since leaving the Trump administration as its US lead for advanced technology and security strategy, but a source familiar with the matter said he took a leave of absence last week until Election Day in order to engage more publicly in the 2020 presidential campaign. Taylor has not had any conversations with the Biden campaign, the source said, but decided to approach the Republican Voters Against Trump group in order to speak out.

Who Are Donald Trump's Supporters, Really?
Four theories to explain the front-runner’s rise to the top of the polls.
They Didn’t Go to College
They Don't Think They Have a Political Voice
They Want to Wage an Interior War Against Outsiders
They Live in Parts of the Country With Racial Resentment
So Who’s Supporting Cruz and Rubio?
 Do you feel voiceless? RAND tested several queries to clearly divide Trump’s support from his rivals. For example, they found that Trump crushes Ted Cruz among voters who both strongly believe that “immigrants threaten American customs and values" and among voters who "strongly favor" raising taxes on the richest American households. But voters who agreed with the statement “people like me don't have any say about what the government does” were 86.5 percent more likely to prefer Trump. This feeling of powerlessness and voicelessness was a much better predictor of Trump support than age, race, college attainment, income, attitudes towards Muslims, illegal immigrants, or Hispanic identity. RAND
Trump has clearly played on fears of non-white outsiders, by likening Mexican immigrants to rapists, promising to deport illegal immigrants and to build a wall between the U.S. and its neighbors, pledging to keep Muslims out of the country during the Syrian diaspora, and playing coy with his relationship with the KKK. But he has also told a simple three-part narrative to attract the despondent demographic: America is losing; Donald Trump is a winner; and if Trump becomes president, America will become a winner, too.

They Want to Wage an Interior War Against Outsiders
They Live in Parts of the Country With Racial Resentment
So Who’s Supporting Cruz and Rubio?

Do you feel voiceless? RAND tested several queries to clearly divide Trump’s support from his rivals. For example, they found that Trump crushes Ted Cruz among voters who both strongly believe that “immigrants threaten American customs and values" and among voters who "strongly favor" raising taxes on the richest American households. But voters who agreed with the statement “people like me don't have any say about what the government does” were 86.5 percent more likely to prefer Trump. This feeling of powerlessness and voicelessness was a much better predictor of Trump support than age, race, college attainment, income, attitudes towards Muslims, illegal immigrants, or Hispanic identity. RAND
Trump has clearly played on fears of non-white outsiders, by likening Mexican immigrants to rapists, promising to deport illegal immigrants and to build a wall between the U.S. and its neighbors, pledging to keep Muslims out of the country during the Syrian diaspora, and playing coy with his relationship with the KKK. But he has also told a simple three-part narrative to attract the despondent demographic: America is losing; Donald Trump is a winner; and if Trump becomes president, America will become a winner, too.

The Donald Trump campaign is refusing to admit anyone who isn’t a Trump supporter to his speech Thursday night in Burlington. Campaign staff are asking people at the door of the Flynn Center whether they back the New York billionaire businessman’s campaign for the Republican nomination. If people answer anything but yes, they are turned away. Police officers are escorting people out of the building. "We have more than 20,000 people that showed up for 1,400 spots,” Trump said in a statement to the Burlington Free Press. “ I'm taking care of my people, not people who don't want to vote for me or are undecided. They are loyal to me, and I am loyal to them." The Trump campaign has the legal right to refuse admittance to anyone, Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Pozo said. “They have the right to say who’s trespassing in violation of their lease agreement, so when people are asked to leave, police escort them out,” the chief told the Free Press. He said that campaigns remove people from events “all the time” who they do not wish to have attend.

When You Get Called a Snowflake – Young Democrat When You Get Called a Snowflake
When You Get Called a Snowflake I really want to clear this up for the Trump supporters because they seem to believe that the snowflakes are being too sensitive and simply protesting because they lost. Let me let you in on a little secret. Democrats aren’t protesting because a Republican won. They didn’t protest when Bush won and they wouldn’t have protested if Romney won and they wouldn’t be protesting if Marco Rubio or someone else won. They are protesting because Donald Trump won, you know, the person with massive conflicts of interest, the person who admitted to not paying his employees or paying taxes, the person who has stolen money from single mothers and students for his fraud university, the person who made fun of a disabled person or the person who said all muslims need to wear ID’s. Regardless of whether you agree with his policies or not, can you just acknowledge that people have a right to be upset over it? Even if you support deportation or a muslim ban or WHATEVER, are they not allowed to be scared and express their concern? Wouldn’t you be scared? Who cares if they’re wrong?! LET THEM BE.

NOW WATCH:
 In 2008, 5,047 migrants sought to claim asylum at the border. In 2018, that number was 92,959. The government can deport migrants who are ultimately denied asylum. But for many, that process lasts years, and the Trump administration has frequently complained that migrants fail to show up for their court hearings, even though Justice Department data indicates that 60% to 75% of nondetained migrants attend their hearings. The Trump administration has argued that migrant families are flooding the immigration system with bogus asylum claims, knowing their cases don't pass legal muster. But experts have cautioned against dismissing migrants' claims as fraudulent — just because a migrant's fears don't meet the Trump administration's limited definition of persecution doesn't mean they don't truly fear for their lives back home, according to Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a policy analyst at the American Immigration Council.

Are the new US-Cuba relations in jeopardy under Donald Trump? Are the new US-Cuba relations in jeopardy under Donald Trump?
Are the new US-Cuba relations in jeopardy under Donald Trump? A Cuban government employer told Mexican newspaper El Financiero that Trump being president "is not good for us, because if there was sluggishness in [bilateral] talks, it'll be worse as of this point." Views on the Cuban embargo are mixed due to a generation chasm among Cuban-Americans. According to the Atlantic: "A slight majority of Cuban-Americans living in Miami-Dade County who also left the island between 1959 and 1964 ... oppose reestablishing diplomatic relations with Cuba. But when it comes to Cuban-Americans who left in later years, that opposition flips, as 65% of those who came between 1981 and 1994 and 80% who came between 1995 and 2014 favor diplomatic relations with Cuba." Several people on Twitter made note of this divide: The Cuban-American vote in Florida may have caused some collateral damage. The Miami Herald reports Trump can deport more than 35,000 Cubans who have an arrest warrant for committing crimes in the United States, as part of the pledge he made on 60 Minutes about deporting 3 million undocumented immigrants who have faced criminal charges. Previously, Trump expressed opposition with respect to the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act. In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times in February, he said allowing Cuban immigrants legal access to the United States is wrong and unfair.

Why Is Donald Trump So Popular?
Research may explain The Donald's rise in the polls.
 They are frustrated that these immigrants are driving down American workers wages making it very difficult for young people to get ahead and live a life which is better than their parents' lives at a comparable age. They are also sick of politicians lying to us that our open borders are a good thing. They are not a good thing. Europeans are also disgusted with their political leaders. Their media tries to cover it up and calls it hate speech. Look what Angela Merkel is doing in Europe. It is absurd to let millions of refugees into Europe. People are sick of it.

 There have been other major waves of Honduran emigration since then, like during Hurricane Mitch in the late 1990s, when Hondurans were granted temporary protected statuses in the United States. President Donald Trump’s administration has threatened to revoke that status, which would send an estimated 57,000 Hondurans who have been living in the United States back to Honduras. Hondurans are in the midst of another wave of migration that’s been happening for several years. This wave, said Suyapa Portillo Villeda, assistant professor of Chicano-Latino Transnational Studies at Pitzer College, began with a military-backed coup in 2009. That led to the most violent years on record in the country, starting in 2011. “If you look at records of people being detained and making it through at the border, that is when we see a serious exodus of Hondurans and entry to the U.S.,” Portillo Villeda told me last year. “ There’s extortion, gangs, but also intrafamilial violence against women. People wanted to get their kids out by 2014.” That year, 2014, is when the U.S. saw a surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America arrive at the Texas border. “People know there are no open borders here,” Cecilia Menjívar, sociology professor at the University of Kansas told me last year. “

“Donald Trump has won the 2016 presidential election,” write the creators of a petition posted online under the title ‘Impeach Donald J Trump’. “ It is clear something is wrong here if an openly homophobic, racist, xenophobic and sexist individual can become the most powerful man in the world.” Just that petition has been signed tens of thousands of times and is addressed at the US Congress, the US House of Representatives, Barack Obama and “The People of the United States”. “Make it clear you do not want this man leading our free nation. Donald Trump as POTUS is a danger to the entire world,” the authors write. “ By signing this petition you are taking your stance and requesting the immediate impeachment of Donald Trump - to remove his position as President of the United States of America.”
