Another thing that will bite MAGA in the ass: Trump designated cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. Millions of MAGAs are hooked on illegal narcotics supplied by those cartels. This means any MAGA who buy drugs from cartel suppliers can be charged with giving aid and comfort and money to a foreign terrorist organization. How many years in prison does that bring?

Shane - by designating gangs and cartels as terrorist organizations, Trump adds weight to asylum applicants' application - credible fear in their home region due to government being unable to protect them from violence and oppression. Seems counterproductive when he's attacking our asylum process, but immigration judges will have something new to consider.
Excellent point, J: if asylum judges are honest and evenhanded, they will grant even more asylum requests to people fleeing these new "terrorist organizations." Trump clearly plays chess when we play checkers :-)
