We were talking about the difficulty in getting some of our extended family here legally and they dropped this.

    Also the president is violating the constitution.

    Section 2 of Article 3 states the president must "take care that the laws [passed by congress] be faithfully executed".

    Well gee dang it if it hasn't been passed into law that "no security assistance may be provided to any country the government of which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights."

    So yeah honestly they're mostly right. I don't know if most socialist "regimes" were voted in, but beyond that they're basically 100% right

      "international human rights" in US-speak just means the right for capital to move and infiltrate freely, like freedom means the freedom to exploit and security means the security of capital interests. All the American doublespeak makes so much more sense when you realize that "people" or "citizens" or "nations" always refer to a small group of rich assholes. If Israel ever starts killing billionaires instead of children, they'll be found in gross violation of human rights and international commitments in five seconds
