SUMMARY:Israel says it will bar two U.S. congresswomen from entering the country. At President Trump's urging, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reversed his earlier decision to allow Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, both Muslims critical of Israeli policies, to visit. Amna Nawaz talks to Danny Ayalon, former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S., and Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif).
NOTE: This is partly political, and Trump is using Joseph Goebbels (head of Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda) playbook. Identify a person or group and use them to (falsely) blame them for all ills in your nation. In Goebbels' case the Jews, in Trump's case immigrants.
SUMMARY:As immigration policy takes center stage, we analyze the administration's recent moves on border closures and asylum requests. Scott Shuchart worked on immigration for the Department of Homeland Security under both President Obama and President Trump. He's now a senior immigration fellow at the Center for American Progress and a Washington Post contributor, and he joins Amna Nawaz to discuss.
I am Retired U.S. Navy (22yrs) and a Vietnam Veteran. After my Navy retirement I was in the computer related industry, now retired. In 2000 I was a registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush. Six months of having Bush in the Whitehouse forced me to re-evaluate my political stance. I had always thought of myself as a Moderate Republican, but was a Republican by "default" NOT because of close examination of the GOP. Due to what has happened in America since 2000, I now consider myself a progressive, and registered as a Non-Affiliated voter.
