According to the Los Angeles Times it was being seriously considered as recently as February 10 by two DHS departments. Yeah it was crazy to consider but that's typical of this bat-shit crazy administration. You're starting to sound like Trump--we're crazy when we react to something that the Administration does that is crazy. Even for this to be considered was crazy. The Republican Party took over the South by appealing to racists who came from over the Democratic Party after 1964/1968.
No, it is the Democratic Party that is racist. That is alternative history like Conway's alternative facts...

I don't believe for a second there was any intention to do activate the National Guard. In fact, the memo talks about governors of border States who are willing, etc. This is not what the headline purports.
Look, I once wrote a memo about our facility being underwater. That doesn't mean it was a serious proposal. Someone asked me to submit training scenarios and I didn't want to. So, I had some fun with it.
I also wrote a memo about cutting overtime and put it on the briefing board. It was read aloud and the troops believed it until the very end. They were whining and moaning--and I'd made the whole thing up by using the current circumstances and extrapolating theoretical policy based on the stated intentions of management.
Just because someone has a paper that says something doesn't tell us who wrote it. It's easy to fake memos. Trust me on that.
And, so what? Throwing out ideas is just that.
I do KNOW how bent the media is on making sure every American believes Trump is somewhere between Mussolini and the Joker. Democrats want us to think "Trump is Hitler." I think he is a bit of PT Barnum, but all this racism stuff is crap.
And, the Administration didn't "do" anything. A memo from some staffer without context isn't a "deed."
I agree with you: the Democratic Party is racist. It is the party that posits minorities cannot succeed so whites must be punished to level the playing field. The Democratic Party is also misogynistic. Women cannot succeed so men must be punished to level the playing field.
Any minority or woman who doesn't hew the party line is attacked as "inauthentic," "traitor," or worse.
How freaking crazy is the Left? Betsy DeVos has to have extra security! The Secretary of Education is now being guarded by marshals because liberal demonstrators are so unhinged.
