On the Wake up Call on WPNN 103.7 FM we don't mince words, we don't sugar-coat pills, and we don't dumb down language. We tell it like it is. That is why when we discuss the disastrous previous presidency of Joe Biden and his feckless, reckless handling of our southern border, we describe the lawless, illegal border crossers as what they are. Illegal Aliens. No, we don't use the sanitized, homogenized term "undocumented migrants" or "unauthorized immigrants" or any other such garbage, PC terminology.
What I know from listeners with inside knowledge is that the proper term "Illegal Alien" has been verboten in the Federal Bureaucracy of Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement branch of Homeland Security for at least the last 4 years of Biden.
But that all changed on Monday. Freshly Inaugurated 47th President of the United States Donald J. Trump signed a slew of executive orders and actions, and what do you know, the "acting" commissioner of CBP did follow the orders fairly rapidly albeit passive aggressively, with this below guidance document. His document technically checks the box of what Trump ordered, albeit begrudgingly. It makes the readers of the memo go to additional documents and statutes to decode the meaning. Check it out, below:
I suspect all other Federal branches and departments are sending similar such box checking "memo's" in the wake of President Trump's slew of executive orders Monday evening. But the passive aggressive tendencies will likely be a hallmark of all such memos until such time as each department is cleansed of two or three layers deep of feckless, partisan, deep-state bureaucrats and President Trump's picks are placed throughout the government.
As an example--this document (above) could have been simple and clear and said plainly what it alludes:
"Forget previous guidance on terminology related to lawbreakers who come here illegally--use the statutorily adopted terminology in PL 82-414, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) of 1952.
Those who violate our laws and come here illegally are ILLEGAL ALIENS. (read the actual law, "alien" is utilized 819 times. "Undocumented" appears nowhere in the documents. Don't believe me, read it for yourself at the hyperlink above)"
Those who come here from unrecognized countries will not be given special, PC terms to identify their "homeland."
It's pretty simple but the deep state will resist our President every. step. of. the. way. over the next four years. But like an ICEbreaker cutting through the frozen oceans of the arctic, our new President will cut through this B.S.
He's already started to do so......
