My Advice to Tom Homan: A Modest Proposal

I hear Tom Homan is trying to relieve the tensions in Minnesota.

I have some advice:

Medicynic Note: Hey Tom. It’s really easy. Don’t be racist or hire racists. Discipline employees who use excessive force. Don’t disappear anyone. Don’t use concentration camps. Follow the established laws. Don’t break into houses, don’t break car windows and drag people out, don’t grab children from schools and school yards or anywhere (particularly 5 year olds),don’t grab people outside of immigration courts as they report as required for adjudication. Simply be humane to these human beings many married to citizens or with children who are citizens. And, oh yeah, don’t shoot and kill observers.

Meanwhile congress do something. Provide guidance and a path to citizenship for many of these emigres.

And John Roberts and colleagues. Let the lower courts continue to do the job that you have abdicated, i.e. bringing a semblance of law and order to an out of control executive branch.

And Mr. President, go away, we no longer expect anything from you.

But What About the Poor ICE Employees?

Medicynical Note: Poor dears. Oh the horror for the ICE heroes who are forced to break windows of cars to pull out mothers and their children and then disappear them. If one of these mothers feels threatened and moves to move away from the confrontation it’s their sacred duty to shoot her. It’s really really hard on the agents.

Oh the terror for agents when they break the doors of American citizens’ homes without a judicial warrant, and drag the home owners out in sub-zero weather and disappear them for hours to weeks just to find they are citizens or that they are legal to be here. The poor agent risks frostbite on their uncovered ears and hands. It’s really a terrible ordeal.

And the trauma when subjected to demonstrations and having to tolerate being on smartphone videos and the medical risk of breathing tear gas that gets through the masks and goggles. It’s inhuman. And just think of the bruised hands these heroes incur as they pummel observers, because they have the nerve to document what’s happening.

An consider too, the poor agents who had to attack an observer whose had the nerve to bend over to help a woman who was shoved to the ground by heroic agents in fear for their lives. Our stalwart agents intervened to protect themselves by pummeling the interfering observer and then because he wasn’t immediately comatose they were forced to shoot him 10 times. Those poor oh so brave agents will be suffering till the end of their days.
