GitHub, Medium Remove Public ICE Employee Data Repository (obsceneworks.com)
owenferguson shares a report from Obscene Works: Medium.com and GitHub have today quashed the release of a set of data comprising of all the ICE employees who openly list themselves on LinkedIn.com. All the data released was gathered from publicly listed LinkedIn profiles. The data was assembled by Sam Lavigne of http://lav.io/ and was published as a repository on GitHub, and announced via an article on Medium.com.
Disgusting political pandering. Slashdot, you are better than this.
"If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." - Epictetus
Okay, I'll bite. The "article" doesn't even answer the question. What the heck is an ICE employee? A gas-powered employee?
Answer via Google: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Irony: Agile development has too much intertia to be abandoned now.
and I'll grant the story, touching on Github as it does, has some potential validity. But what the hell is up with that headline? "Willfully Destroyed"? They didn't destroy anything. They took it off their servers. Probably because there's a lot of emotions running high and they're rightfully worried some nutjob is going to go off half cocked and hurt somebody.
I'm grateful to Github for nipping this in the bud. Crap like this is exactly the sort of response that our countries current extreme immigration policies are meant to solicit. We're being trolled; probably as a point of distraction from economic issues that otherwise would dominate the mid-term elections (the economy's doing crap with poor wage growth despite full employment). Now is the time to calm the heck down and apply appropriate and legal pressure. Not dox a bunch of poorly paid gov't employees who most likely took the job out of desperation (and yes, I know folks who work in some of the less upstanding law enforcement jobs and believe me, it's not by choice).

Lets create a database of all people on facebook who made a post supportive of the pro-violence wing of antifa. Would there be a different reaction to its deletion?
Why would anyone want this information?
The only reason for a list like this is to encourage harassment of these individuals just for working somewhere that asshole doesn't agree with.
Without enforcers, the policy makers would be powerless. Without foot soldiers, there would be no war.
What a creep.
I find it helpful to remember that as much as internet companies use data to spy on and exploit their users, we can at times reverse the story, and leverage those very same online platforms as a means to investigate or even undermine entrenched power structures.
This is some serious confusion, or just a severe "us against the world" mindset. Yes, internet companies sometimes spy on their customers. No, the people in his stalker notebook do not spy on ISP customers. No, the spying ISPs engage in is not the same as encouraging stalking.
I've seen a certain (few) progressives justify bad behavior as "sticking it to the man", "speaking truth to power", or "punching up". Invariably, this was an excuse to be rude or make accusations about a person who wasn't in a position to defend themselves. This data dump goes beyond rudeness.

for doing a job. I don't think there's many that would argue that we don't want and need some level of border security (there's a few extreme libertarians who do). If we're going to have that then _somebody_ is going to enforce that security.
We can argue that they should quit their jobs if they're asked to do something immoral, but a lot of them _aren't_ doing anything immoral. I'm going to Godwin this thread right now, not every German helped kill jews. There's boarder patrol agents who help people they find in the desert.
I understand wanting to do something to help Mexican and South American immigrants. But if that's our goal then there's a _lot_ more to do than immigration. We can start by legalizing drugs. The drug war fuels their violence. We can also stop meddling in their politics. "Banana Republic" has a sinister meaning and our CIA has helped run death squads in South America. Start voting for the kinds of politicians who oppose torture and unnecessary military build up. Drop food instead of Bombs, it's cheaper and more humane.
There's a lot we can do to stem the tide of illegal immigrants. But that said, we don't necessarily _want_ to do that. We're addicted to their cheap, cheap labor. Always have been.
Hi! I make Firefox Plug-ins. Check 'em out @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-mp3-podcaster/
As I understand US law, if two citizens leave the country and have a kid, then that kid is also a legal US citizen, and may return to the country with them. Is Mexican law regarding this different? Are they not allowing the parents to bring their kid back to their country with them?
You're being ridiculous. Please cut it out.
Totally; they should be sending the kids and parents to prison together. Serves those little bastards right for being born to a family of criminals!
Glad to find another enlightened individuals such as yourself on Slashdot.
Calling this "heinous action" is the most recent version of calling anyone to the right of Stalin a Nazi.
Without hoologans at demonstrations, there would be nobody to tear gas, load into busses, and haul to jail.
Process them in a refugee camp which keeps families together (as most of the world does it) or place them with host families. Not rocket science -- current policy is deliberately abusive.
Slashdot, you are better than this.
No, we're not. This site is about weird racist memes, goatse and penis bird. There may nothing beneath us.

GitHub's decline started long before the Microsoft acquisition. When they forced out the founder and declared meritocracy, and by extension merit, unwelcome.
Venture capital turns everything it touches into evil shit. Not just evil, not just shitty - evil & shitty.
Until the demonstrations shut down the country. Time for a French style general strike. Mass flight cancellations, buses/public transit don't move, teachers stay home, roads don't get fixed... get people mad enough and they will organise. All it takes is about 10% of the population to grind things to a screeching halt. The public doesn't even know how much power it has if they organise...
Why would anyone want this information?
The only reason for a list like this is to encourage harassment of these individuals just for working somewhere that asshole doesn't agree with.
That's been the way of the left for quite some time. Examples include Antifa goons beating up people they disagree about and trolls harassing people who simply donated money to a side they disagree with. All the things the left accuses others of are what they do day in and day out.

They're doing real damage to those kids. There's no way Jesus would be okay with this.
The parents could always, you know, not violate US immigration law. I know, crazy idea!
Microsoft faces outrage for blog post touting ICE contract . Coincidence?
Place the entire families with host families, or keep them together in a refugee camp. Also, applying for asylum isn't a crime, it's a right under international law.
Yeah, to me its deletion from GitHub is pretty obvious--it's not a program or data for a program, of course it ought to go--and I'm a bit disgusted by the double-standards of a lot of the people here. Would the people here be as offended if the list deleted was, say, "LGBT employees of Google"? How about "Non-White Health Care Workers in Random City"? These kinds of lists are a problem because they invite harassment of the people on the list--and it's disturbing to see people thinking it's somehow okay to do this when it's the 'right' people getting harassed, because that basically means that you will have to be careful about expressing any ideas which might risk you at some point (now or in the future) finding yourself on one of those lists...and that won't protect you against being included by accident or because somebody wanting revenge or a petty power play.
Of course not. Jesus is pissed that he's being prosecuted and that his kids are off with a foster family. Too fucking bad, Jesus. Should have thought of that before jumping the fence.
I'm not a religious person... and I'm guessing you aren't either. The difference, is I'm not trying to use my out of date and incomplete understanding of other peoples religions to try to guilt trip them into things which I want.
Your facts are wrong though, you may want to look up, remember:

Yeah, cunts like you always play the "empathy" card when they run out of arguments to make. No, you don't have any more empathy than I do; you are, however, significantly bereft of intelligence and honesty.
When you've had the time to do some more mental gymnastics and figure out an argument for why someone who commits the crime of theft can be imprisoned without their kids, but someone who breaks immigration law cannot, you let me know. I'm sure it will be quite entertaining.
Did you even start, junior?
Communists and Marxists are using the open internet to gather information on the US federal government. :) .gov and .mil data.
;)
Stop putting information out online.
Got a resume? Print it and hand it in to the approved gov person for that promotion, side ways promotion. Nothing digital, online.
Be aware of strange new cctv, random people with a camera near any federal building.
Talking about 1st A, been a tourist. Doing a 1s A protests outside your building? That "first amendment audit" on gov workers, mil, contractors for hours?
Get quality facial recognition on anyone near any federal building. Always.
Dont use any electronic communications devices near a federal building. Remove the battery from any gov/private cell phone. Carry an extra cell phone thats powered, never used and is totally empty. Photograph any person of interest with that. Wait for the FOIA request on that device
Communists are running complex data gathering on all of the US gov. Electronic, faces, cars, internet.
Searching the internet for every fragment of
Understand how the GCHQ, the SAS, UK mil, Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch operated in Ireland. North and south and in the USA.
They did not have information found out by lawyers, media, activists, Communists, politicians.
How? By been secret. Stop publishing information. Use front companies and locations to run investigations from. Dont use a cell phone. Dont use the internet. When some 1st A audit finds a gov/mil front company, building used as a field office, don't send gov/mil staff out with names on badges to confirm what agency works in the building.
1st A can run their own counter surveillance with both long range audio, networking and with a network of other cameras. Say nothing, do nothing.
Set up bait offices and bait staff. See what 1st A audit shows up first with a very limited internal release of information
Use private security and local city police to do field investigations. Never confirm who is at any location to some random stranger outside with a camera.
Dont allow any building manager to list who works in the building to any strangers with a camera outside.
When using a gov or private camera to photograph a protester, 1st A person, use a cell phone, camera just for that task. No other messages, text, data, images on the device used for that interaction.
Never use a gov cell phone, your own cell phone. It will be part of a FOIA request. Make sure it has nothing extra on it.
FOIA requests will be used on that device and protester can gather all kinds of data on that device by requesting it as it was used as part of an offical investigation.
Stop just giving gov data away with every FOIA request. The FOIA image is that of the protestor and the gov device has no other data on it.
After the FOIA request stop using that camera. One camera, one encounter, one FOIA. No extra data on any police device that can be requested.
Use vehicle registration plates as bait. Drive a set of unmanned cars, vans in and out of a gov building. Uniforms and actors to ensure its a quality production outside the sally port. Track who then enters the same vehicle registration into all kinds of databases. Who goes building a database. Is someone in the gov helping look up gov workers and contractors? Find them. Is someone in the private sector helping protesters on their own databases? Find them.
Find who is doing the lookups and who is requesting the data searches on gov workers, mil, police. From gov records, on private databases.
Make sure you know who you are working with and who is getting hired. Hire on merit. Make sure the person getting hired is fit for law enforcement work, can pass gov/mil security tests.
Track all communications by disgruntled workers. They will pass information on to protesters, 1st A auditors, media, lawyers, faith groups, cults while working
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
Most of those are actually false (1,4,6) or at best distorted. This is not surprising as Breitbart is an awful source of any news and Steve Bannon basically helped dictate this immigration policy.
.61% of kids.
1. He's enforcing the most draconian option. They claim the kids are unaccompanied but by prosecuting the adults criminally instead of civilly -- they obviously have that right -- they can isolate both the parents and the kids. This is even happening to people trying to claim asylum at ports of entry.
2. Many do. The vast majority arrive with an adult. The trafickers posing as a family account for
3. Many, if not all, of these children have been apart from their parents for more than 20 days. Even a cursory google shows this is heinously out of context.
4. This is just unmitigated bullshit. It's child abuse (per pediatricians AND psychiatrists) and nothing DHS says has been independently verified. Either way being separated from family and put in a detention center is certainly not GOOD treatment
5. People are generally not jailed for misdemeanors. Children certainly aren't seized and they get preference in their bail hearing if they are the sole caregiver.
6. This is just unmitigated bullshit. He kept families together.
7. Ignoring the fact that DHS has started turning people away from ports of entry, yes they are actively being turned away and sometimes seized. This is, once again, easily findable via basic google. Some actual sources WITH SOURCES!

Even if you don't like NYT or NPR, there are other outlets that report it as well, even websites like Snopes and politifact. Basically that was a shit post for covering an awful practice and an even bigger shit post because it was so laughably bad and fake,.
I found a whole bunch of those violent anti-fascist assholes. They're under white marble crosses all over Europe.
No you did not. Because the allied soldier under white crosses did not believe in beating up people over words. When the Nazis marched in Illinois in the 1970s the WW2 vets opposed them with words not violence.
It is only the comic book caricature of WW2 soldiers that antifa likens themselves to as they indulge in their own little soldierly fantasies. The immature entitled kid in black north face clothing and balaclava is far far different than the real soldiers who destroyed real fascists. Similar story for the other side of the same idiotic delusions, the neonazi wearing an armband and speaking insulting words is nothing like the real fascists. Both the violent wing of antifa and the neonazis are all posers, little more than asshole cosplayers both.
Now the peaceful wing of antifa, that is an entirely different story. That is where one might find actual WW2 vets.
Speaking as someone who had the privilege to grow up around family who were actual WW2 combat vets, and who had teachers who were actual WW2 combat vets.
No.. you are either mistaken or lying.
1) Trump is only enforcing the law : Nope, it's a new policy. And it's a decision by Miller, Sessions, and Trump to do so. Presidents Bush and Obama saw no need to enforce the law this way.
2) Many children arrive unaccompanied
We are talking about babies and toddlers being taken from their parents-- we have audio of them crying for their parents.
3) Children can only be separated for 20 days
No. per former ICE head on the news tonight at 9pm, there is no procedure in place to return the children. The Parents will be "fast tracked" back to their home countries and the toddlers and babies will be returned months to *years* later. And there is no documentation being taken to tie the parents to the children. And there are already documented cases where the child has been missing longer than 20 days.
4) Their conditions are actually pretty good, better than most poor American children get, and better than where they came from.
Living in tents in near 100 degree temperatures is not "pretty" good. That's the conditions which male toddlers and children are being kept under. Babies and females we barely know about-- reporters are not being allowed in the facllities. The government (which lies constantly) is the only source saying the conditions are good.
5) We separate citizen children from their parents, when we put parents in jail
Not for minor crimes.
6) Obama did it
Obama's not president and at the least did not do it on this scale (if it did it at all- you are going to provide a cite for that because all I find when I google that is right wing sites.)
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
Surely you can try harder than this, bot
Since you are so confident... by all means-- please take your kids overseas on trips.
I'm sure no one will be upset and your children will be completely safe.

She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
Breitbart had a good summary of the situation(*).
In short, it's manufactured outrage intended to gin up exactly this sort of reaction in people.
After "Breitbart" I'll just assume everything you have to say establishes the fact you're a fuckwit.
1) Trump is only enforcing the law
One can do a lot of damage to society by "only" enforcing the law so I will chalk this up as unfalsifiable gibberish due to the lack of specific substantive argument supporting course of action taken by administration.
2) Many children arrive unaccompanied
What the heck does this have to do with separating accompanied children other than a crummy attempt at deflection?
3) Children can only be separated for 20 days
The average time is 51 days and there is no upper limit for outliers.
Am I to believe locking up children under threat of violence for even 20 days with strangers against their will is acceptable behavior? If you think so then I think you're a fuckwit.
4) Their conditions are actually pretty good, better than most poor American children get, and better than where they came from.
To say most poor American children are better off separated from their parents and locked up in cages with strangers is just a reflection of how warped and out of touch with reality you truly are.
5) We separate citizen children from their parents, when we put parents in jail
Kids are not separated from their parents when their parents commit Misdemeanors. You're really a fuckwit.
The administration is only doing what it is doing to send a message. Everyone including yourself knows it. Don't pretend there is another reason and don't pretend the normal standard of what is best for the child is being followed.
6) Obama did it
No previous president has done what Trump is doing. Obama explicitly focused on jailing "bad dudes" not EVERYONE without qualification (e.g. zero tolerance). What is happening now is NEW.
I am ashamed of Slashdot for posting this. Scraping LinkedIn is not newsworthy. It's not an achievement or technically complex. Most people on this site could accomplish this inside a day or two. The only thing this accomplishes is the insinuation that people should take this information and use it to harass government employees, which is not only unethical but potentially criminal.
They scraped content from LinkedIn (or used an API?) to compile a directory, almost certainly in violation of TOS.
How was that OK?
Microsoft owns LinkedIn. Microsoft owns Github. Put two and two together. They are enforcing their TOS, and happen to have the ability to do so in this case without having to convince another site to take down the illegally-obtained material.
I was referencing Jeff Sessions who recently used old testament passages to justify caging those kids. He's going to have some splaining to do when he meets his maker.
By "maker", you mean Mr. Scratch?
There are quite a few jobs where you expect threats. Immigration enforcement , people evicting others, debt collector and I pass many others. There are many jobs which may need to be done, but for which people affected by those job may not necessarily like the enforcer. Personally I don't see the usefulness of threatening ICE official, but then again I am legal resident on where I live so I am biased.

It was on Github because it included both data, and code for making some use of the data. That said, pure data with no code is still a valid repository and has uses such as AI training that make it a proper fit in a repository environment, if you are serious about that sort of thing. This is actually a better model for making leaks like wikileaks, where they have a closed source web interface to the data, and pure data dumps (like Ashley Madison) where the end user has to figure out how to mount the data in a parseable manner.

If you've been paying attention to what's been going on over there since they decided their "In Meritocracy We Trust" parody of the oval office carpet in the CEO's office was offensive and had to be removed you'd know the place has let the lunatics run the asylum for years already. The only surprise here is that they decided to remove this particular doxxing case as it conforms really well to their particular bent so some semblance sanity may actually be returning to the madhouse.
The far left lunatics they've let run the company have removed projects and banned people on purely political grounds, made it very easy to add extremely broad codes of conduct with a focus on "If someone claims they've felt slighted the guilty one must be punished reality and plain sense be damned" types and implemented loads of asinine "diversity" policies like restricting certain positions based on race and putting an end to mentoring new hires because of how their diversity drive has lead to to many cases of minorities and women being mentored by white men.

I've lived in France on and off for decades and let me tell you that those 10% with the power to grind everything to a halt are always the same ones: truck drivers (the worst of all), train conductors (currently in their 3rd month of strike with no end in sight, this over trifles), students (and screw the others who just want to pass their exams), airplanes (always at the time of vacations), etc... All the others don't matter, only those get their voices heard by pissing in everybody's broth.

Generally, if government officials are using that passage to defend themselves or justify their actions they tend to be in a bad way. It was used as one of the scriptural bases for the Divine Right of Kings, opposition to the American Revolution, and by pro-slavery forces to justify adherence to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. More recently it has been used as a support by the apartheid government of South Africa.
When Romans 13:1-7 is cited while ignoring the next couple of passages (Romans 13:8-10) it's pretty obvious that it is being used for dubious ends, as that goes:
I'm not a biblical scholar, nor am I a well-versed adherent to the Pauline epistles, but I do have a hard time seeing any love in this.
They're not all la migra
Take off, every Hoser
Right, it goes without saying. Whenever a Christian has to go back to the Old Testament to justify anything it means he's doing something that Jesus would not be cool with.
And yet at the same time, we are brainwashed that the "free market picks what is the best for everyone".

If by harassment you mean friends of these people telling them "what you are doing is wrong", then I am all for it. Also, I really don't understand what is the problem here. These people put something publicly online in social media, and now they are complaining that somebody remembers what they wrote?

This policy is new as of April 2018.
Ask yourself: do you know what they did before the Trump administration implemented this policy? Do you care?
Well, kind of. I tried to take a train to Paris and the day to day schedule was a nightmare. And the prices were way up since they adopted the same shitty pricing techniques as the airline companies (more demand => higher prices, but since there's less than half the trains running => less supply => higher prices). Eventually gave up so it might as well have been a complete strike.

Waiting until after you've been caught illegally entering the country to claim asylum. Asylum seekers are supposed to file Form I-589 immediately upon entering. Letting them claim asylum after being caught is only creating a loophole that will be abused by every illegal immigrant and open the floodgates to further overwhelm the system.
Whoops, first sentence should read: "Waiting until after you've been caught illegally entering the country to claim asylum is a crime."
"This policy is new as of April 2018."
No it is not. The law has been on the books for over a decade and has been enforced for several years prior to Trump.
That "data repository" is simply mass doxxing of ICE employees. It has absolutely no legitimate use, at best it is intended to intimidate the ICE-employees. Whoever sees that as a legitimate way to influence (immigration) policy is obviously unwilling to play by democratic rules.

Malachi 3:5: âoeSo I will come to put you on trial. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive the foreigners among you of justice, but do not fear me,â says the Lord Almighty.
Hebrews 13:1-2: Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

It's quite relevant: the state takes over from parents who expose their kids to unusual risks and illegal behavior. That's a principle we apply to citizens, and it is certainly also a principle that applies to people who expose their kids to the risk of illegal migration into the US.

Who's Antifa's astroturf? Some jewish organization? Some legit orgs are jump started by a small astroturf they don't always stay that way.
WTF is it with all this bashing of a small organization who's mission is to stop Nazis or any rebranded resurgence? It is as if we had more attack on them than we did for the Neo-Nazis -- skipping criticism which is rather tired and old by this point but it is far more important to go after Nazi fanboys. Beating the shit out of Nazis is not ideally civilized but it is not the same as just about anything else; besides, they are the exception for the whole planet (FYI, war is not civilized.) One would think a tiny little known group like Antifa would be praised and people signing up like crazy when they got on the national scene protesting our recent Nazi fanboy resurgence. Especially SJW who are desperate for some meaning in their lives-- they should have a far better outlet for their righteousness... maybe they'll actually DO SOMETHING; but probably not because they really don't do anything but blab online which is why they are addicted to unfulfilling platitudes which are best suited for P.C. policing.
I question the motives or intelligence of people who jump on the bandwagon to attack the anti-Nazi crowd.
For every open Nazi fanatic there are 100s of like minded people who are not as extreme but agree with a lot of it.... just like in Germany (and quite a few in the USA at the time.) That is why you can go from fringe minority to movement size suddenly when the majority of the group decides to take action as a group... not necessarily ever following the extreme elements which always do tend to stand out. It's a silent majority of the subgroup; the so-called fanatics are never very silent, only appeased to keep their profile down.
It's an issue for all issue organizations-- look at the political parties-- they are always trying to keep a handle on their internal factions and keep them from bringing down the group or taking over too much of the group and fracturing the base. Before Obama, we had border-line fanatics who jumped the fence once a black man was in and Faux News got big on race baiting them (if you didn't see it, stop reading) and then with Trump's less subtle manipulation they felt safe to come out in the open and surprised people by how much they've grown in number and boldness. This was just those border-line fanatics that had flipped from being silent. It is proper for people to be concerned about further progression; especially around the less fanatic fascists who can rally the larger group: their real base, who will tolerate them just like any party does with it's fringes. Some are seriously wondering if this IS Trump and Trump is at minimum trying to troll concerned people (he does seem to take pleasure in tormenting people who care about things; not really understanding this himself.) You can debate this all you like, but he's clearly sending out signals to them, either he doesn't know how to be subtle, doesn't care, or wants to enjoy trolling people he mocks for caring about something greater than themselves (which totally fits his psych profile.)
Democracy Now! - uncensored, anti-establishment news
That is called the Public School System.
The repo is still available at https://gitlab.com/marge_innov.... But Linkedin has blocked the URL for the search and all the data has disappeared from the internet. The government using BLS and census bureau tracks and monitors almost everything. I think it is good for people to monitor the government.
WHEN INJUSTICE IS LAW
REVOLUTION IS NECESSARY
Soldiers that went to fight bearing arms did not at some point believe their violent acts had meaning, and expected the diplomacy and propaganda to do all the work while they marched to the meat grinder? You're insulting their reason.
The pro-violence antifa member is actually a fascist himself. The idea that violence to achieve a political goal is justified is a core tenant of fascism. The pro-violence antifa member is not like the allied soldier who destroyed fascism. He is like the 1920s brownshirt who believed society is sick and must be changed, that things are so grave socially that violence is justified. The men who became the allied soldiers picked up arms when the fascists moved from words to physical violence, and when the fascists were subdued and went back to words these same allied soldiers responded only with words (ex. Illinois, 1970s).
These pro-violence antifa members insult the memory of real allied soldiers as they engage in their little soldierly fantasies and dare compare themselves to the real soldiers. Soldierly fantasies being another fascist characteristic.
It's amazing how "angry old white guy" gets transmitted with just words.
This administration made a deliberate choice to handle asylum seekers and illegal immigrants as a criminal matter, specifically so they could separate children from their parents as a deterrent. Your false comparisons might let you sleep better at night, but the rest of us don't believe the ends justifies the means - particularly when border crossings have shown a distinct downward trend since 2009.
And here is photographic evidence that proves that you are either lying or completely misinformed. You really need to quit watching MSNBC and CNN exclusively.
It's getting old to say that they really are the definition of fake news and they are actively lying to the population to spread their left-leaning, political agenda.
They may have taken the jobs out of desperation, but they didn't have to announce the fact on LinkedIn. They made the information about themselves public.
Using your logic, the doctors who provide abortion openly also deserve to be compiled into a list and have that list publicly posted.
Actually, there's a lot of outrage. Not separating families is a primary driver for bail reform and elimination of cash bail (i.e. releasing most people accused of crimes without bail) in states that are doing so.
Our social services cannot handle the volume of people coming here seeking free stuff. You cannot have both open borders and a welfare state, you must choose one or the other.
Why do you call people names just for disagreeing with you? Do you think that helps your argument?
The people that run US concentration camps
Interesting. Where are these, and who is being tortured, gassed to death, medically experimented on, executed without trial and/or forced to make munitions to support a war?
Someone should publicise this shit.
Sure they can -- don't offer anyone without citizenship most social services.
I wish I wasn't slightly inebriated when I wrote that. Maybe I wouldn't have left out so many words.
“Common sense is not so common.” — Voltaire
Hurr durr lack of empathy.
Aaand there's the "troll" mod anyway, because somebody can't deal with facts that temper emotional appeal.
Here's another fact: in some of these cases, they're not even the children and parents. They've been paired up because the smuggling rings are aware that having children generally got you through the system because it played on these exact sympathies. Those people are essentially human trafficking.
Facts aside, it is sad that children are pulled from their parents, but almost no one is putting any blame for the parents for putting their kids in this situation in the first place as they break another country's laws. If they went legally to the right ingress points and declared they were looking for asylum, they'd be treated better.
Look back up at my post, now look back down, you're on the Internet. Now look back up. I'm a signature.
So what percent of criminals should the government actually prosecute? Since you don't like 100% you must have some other number in mind. Is it 10%? 5%? 0%?.
I elect my government representatives to enforce 100% of the laws. If members of the legislature don't like the laws let them change them. The best way to get a bad law changes is to enforce it. If you ignore it it gets selectively enforced and becomes a weapon of the government against the people.
When 100,000 illegal immigrants invade your country in less than a year you are under invasion. Most countries would have called out the military by now. The legislature would have declared war on the country from whom the invaders are coming.
Personally I think are immigration laws suck. But I also think the Congress, who is responsible for passing laws, are the ones who need to fix them.
While I don't necessarily disagree with many of the above comments .... nobody is highlighting the FACT that "the project was ONLY collating into one location information which these people had ALREADY MADE PUBLIC THEMSELVES on LinkedIN".
So in that sense it is ABSOLUTELY NOT "doxing" anybody.
Having said that, I would ABSOLUTELY class this project as "questionable in both intent and value" and "not really a loss that it was kicked out, other than discussions of principles".

The OP said "1+1=5" and I said, "No, 1+1=2" and you said, "But what about the cost of tea in china?"
It's really not possible to have a discussion with someone who is trolling or lying as trump and his supporters do constantly. Even his new Executive Order is really not going to fix anything and is (surprise!) another lie.
And this whole thing was probably an attempt to move the subject off of Mueller since Cohen and Manafort were nailed. Cohen has dirt going back decades and he's sounding increasingly surprised and irritated that Mr. Trump is hanging Cohen out to dry.
But meantime, a couple thousand kids might not ever see their parents again in their lives. Including a 9 month old baby.
This is immoral and evil.
And someone else did a much better job (and sourced) job of correcting the liar I was responding to to begin with.
She was like chocolate when she drank... semi-sweet at first and then increasingly bitter.
We have more freedom in the US. A 'general strike' would trigger a 'general strike-back' and the clowns with the picket signs would discover what a minority they are. It would be very disappointing for it to come to that, but that's how the deal would go.
It's not going to happen, though.
You're proposing using violence against strikers? You sound like the kind of boss that sometimes ended up "having himself an accident," back in the good old days of union organizing...
These people are beyond reasoning. Don't bother. Just make mental notes of who's justifying concentration camps for children around you, and make their lives difficult in any legal way you have.
I am explaining reality.
Thugs don't eliminate reality by murdering people who point it out.
It is interesting how you wax nostalgic for a past of gangster organizers killing those they oppose.
No, the idea of a 'strike back' does not come from some bosses' scheme. It would just be ordinary people taking the street back from a minority of organized thugs.
The organizers only started using "gangster" tactics after the bosses sicced actual gangsters (Pinkertons) on their men.
