It is well underway.
Interesting that fascism always arrives to the roar of a crowd.

Suppress the vote, muffle the media, gag the scientists, present us with alternative facts, install petro-billionaires and Wall Streeters as confidants and cabinet members, and blame whatever troubles we have on 'other' people.

It's happened in other nations, but we may be setting a record as far as how long it will take.  The next thing we have to do build a wall and beef up the military.

My gosh the sky is really falling!
The next thing will be a federal government that enforces our national immigration laws. 

 
Which laws are not being enforced? Which laws would you like to see more strictly enforced?

“The Game” – Background of Immigration Law

Immigration law has evolved over the course of American and Global history. A primary purpose of United States immigration laws is to control the number and type of non-citizens who can be in the country. Among other things, these immigration laws outline conduct that can disqualify non-citizens from getting permission to enter or remain in the U.S. A key mechanism for enforcing the law against non-citizens already in the country is through their deportation. Under the law, one way such actions are justified is when the individual involved has been found to have committed various crimes.

For most of its history, the United States has maintained immigration laws to control which non-citizens are allowed to be in the country, for what reasons, for how long, and who can become citizens. The Alien Act of 1798, known as the Alien and Sedition Laws, empowered the President to expel any alien, or non-citizen, he deemed dangerous. A general immigration law passed in 1882 called for the exclusion of “idiots, lunatics, convicts, and persons likely to become public charges.” The 1882 law also banned Chinese immigrants. A 1917 immigration law established a literacy requirement for admission to the country.

Establishing the Basic Structure of the Current Immigration Law

In 1952 the McCarran-Walter Act established the basic structure of today’s immigration law, setting up deportation procedures, creating a quota system based on nationality, as well as detailed exclusions based on political grounds. Other major changes of the immigration laws have occurred in 1965, 1980, 1986, 1988, 1990, and 1996. Congress is again seriously debating major immigration revisions.

“The Rules” – The Governing Law

Congress creates immigration law and policy through statutes. The primary immigration laws are contained in a statute known as the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The INA and its related federal regulations (Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations) cover immigration laws governing:

Who is an immigrant and who is a citizen
Who can enter the country from abroad
Who must have a visa to enter the country
How visas are defined and administered
How immigrants are processed
Which immigrants can be removed (deported) from the country
What immigrants must do to maintain their legal status
How immigrants can become permanent residents or naturalized citizens
Who qualifies as a refugee or asylum recipient


Personally, I'd like to see the 1882 law banning idiots and lunatics from entering the country more strictly enforced . . . There seems to be way too many of them in Washington, D.C. these days.

What in God's name are you talking about?  Can't you see what's going on here?  Remove the Republican team jersey and grasp the big picture.  For the life of all that is holy, take a look around ......... even members of your own tribe are starting to wake up.  Donald Trump is not a Republican. 

Once the Great Wall is built and all the illegals are kicked out then all will be right with the world ! 

Oh wait, then we can concentrate on the Muslims and then once that is taken care of we can concentrate on the non-believers and then the Media and then the Scientists and then all the people that disagree with anything we say or do.
