Tuesday Things, And A Dissent With A Trump Policy

Starting with a proposal from the Trump administration with which I disagree, here are some things going on (with some of my own commentary):

From AOL, the Trump administration is considering a proposal that would make citizenship more difficult to obtain for legal immigrants, if they have used certain welfare programs.  (My advice is "don't do it", because I want to see legal immigration become less difficult, not more.  If anyone is penalized for using welfare, it should be the people who shouldn't be here the first place, the illegal aliens.  Penalizing legal immigrants will only play into the hands of Trump's critics, who like to accuse him of being "anti-immigrant".)

From True Pundit, as Facebook bans InfoWars, it keeps some other notorious characters.

From American Thinker, why the right can get behind #WalkAway.

From the Washington Examiner, Rick Gates testifies about Paul Manafort's Ukraine income.

From BBC News, Boris Johnson will not apologize for his burqa comments despite calls for him to do so.  (See yesterday's post, which includes two links related to this story.)

From PlymouthLive, a former student at Plymouth University on trial for allegedly supporting terrorists texted to a friend "We need an Islamic state."  (This Plymouth is in England, not to be confused with its namesake in Massachusetts.)
