“Ask residents of this coal-mining crossroads about President Trump’s decision to crack down on undocumented immigrants and most offer no protest. Mr. Trump, who easily won this mostly white southern Illinois county, is doing what he promised, they say. As Terry Chambers, a barber on Main Street, put it, the president simply wants ‘to get rid of the bad eggs.’ But then they took Carlos.” From the NYT: He’s a Local Pillar in a Trump Town. Now He Could Be Deported.
+ “Inside the White House, the president’s advisers are concerned that he has repeatedly referred to Dreamers, many of whom are in their 20s and 30s, in such sympathetic and politically loaded terms. ”Our immigration folks are like, ‘Stop calling them kids,”Mr. Spicer said.” Also from the NYT: The White House insiders and Trump supporters who are furious that he’s shown some sympathy for Dreamers.
