Major (and long overdue) change to asylum rules coming

[Jhhnn]

Seems he was not so adamant when it comes to "the Treasury shall produce tax returns upon request by Congress".

Right there you gave Glenn the opportunity to derail his "Hail Trump!" thread and, yep, here we go....

The law doesn’t just apply to federal employees but rather every single tax return filed. It serves zero government transparency objective for random Congress Critters to have unrestricted access to literally any private citizen’s return. Congress has zero “transparency” reasons to get a tax return of the 105 year old great grandmother from rural Vermont filing returns on her $12k annual pension checks of her deceased husband as it has no bearing on “government opacity.”

Congress can and should get tax returns from any American its for a legislative or investigatory purpose. If they determine there is a reason to get that 105 year olds tax returns they can and should get them. You fail to understand the depth and complexity of tax evasion practices and other illicit business and tax practices individuals can take. That is why the law was written so broadly.

So who has the real numbers since we can't believe the government?

So I see that you are finally waking up.

Look at the thread above. The government publishes these figures. It was McAleenan who gave an inaccurate impression to justify a crackdown and the right wing news ran across the internet with the story that most asylum seekers don't show for their court appearances. 80-90% of them (or more) do.

I'm guessing that was an intentional slip-up, and so if he were to get called on it legally, he'd just claim he flubbed it and said it wrong. And then right wingers would run with a conspiracy that the government is trying to cover up the real facts and cite that situation as evidence and insist that his original claim was the true one.

He'll be back to his napping, farting himself awake and raging about shit that he clearly has no clue about, soon enough.
