UNC-Chapel Hill will ‘comply’ if ICE seeks students on campus, chancellor says

UNC-Chapel Hill will “follow the law” and “comply with any requests from law enforcement” regarding students whom U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials may seek during the Trump administration, Chancellor Lee Roberts said Friday.

I'd cut off my donations, but I already did that when they overruled the J School on hires.
 
Teaching students to follow the law, especially when it comes to border security and national security is a bad thing unless you are driven by emotion and your arrogance allows you to pick and choose which laws to follow. I'm glad that isn't the message UNC is sending.

I'm fine with legal immigration. We should have a robust immigration policy. That's different than obvious backdooring of the system.

The problem is that Stephen Miller seems to believe that the proper number of legal immigrants to the United States per year should be zero.

I'll never forget Miller proclaiming that "America is for Americans and Americans only!!" when MAGA was mainlining racism and xenophobia at Trump's MSG rally. That line really caught me off guard and I'm rarely surprised by anything the GQP does these days.

If you took out all the extracurricular, so to speak, about Hegseth, he would still be unqualified.

Trump wants a "disruptor," however. Americans do too, given they voted for Trump.

We'll certainly get a disruptor.

This is the part that just kills me. If he was the nicest guy, with the squeakiest clean reputation, he does not have the qualifications to do that job. It is mindboggling to me.
 
Saw an interview with Tammy Duckworth. Same thought process. Without the personal character issues, he’s still not remotely qualified. She voted for both of Trump’s nominations for Defense Secretary his first term because they were qualified for the position.
 
When the cabinet nominations started rolling out - I was shocked and terrified...but after reflection I agree that Trump should have "his" cabinet. The guardrails, corner covers, baby gates - whatever euphemism you want to use - may have ultimately inflicted more harm than good. Trump should have "his" cabinet so the country can see "his" vision in full display. There will be long term ramifications - but we have to reverse course here - and that isn't likely to happen with a "normal" cabinet.

The problem is— as you said— there will be long term ramifications. I’m not so sure there will be many noticeable short term ramifications. So the average American probably doesn’t even realize that those ramifications that emerge down the line were a result of Trump’s actions. They’ll blame whoever is in power at the time and assume a Trump-like figure can fix it.
