This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people. We’re not falling for it.

Our opposition to our socialist colleagues isn’t because of their race, religion, or gender. It’s because their policies are dangerous, wrong, and would destroy America.

116TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION H. RES. Condemning President Trump’s racist comments directed at Members of Congress.

Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(1) believes that immigrants and their descendants have made America stronger, and that those who take the oath of citizenship are every bit as American as those whose families have lived in the United States for many generations;

(2) is committed to keeping America open to those lawfully seeking refuge and asylum from violence and oppression, and those who are willing to work hard to live the American Dream, no matter their race, ethnicity, faith, or country of origin; and

(3) strongly condemns President Donald Trump’s racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color by saying that our fellow Americans who are immigrants, and those who may look to the President like immigrants, should ‘‘go back’’ to other countries, by referring to immigrants and asylum seekers as ‘‘invaders,’’ and by saying that Members of Congress who are immigrants (or those of our colleagues who are wrongly assumed to be immigrants) do not belong in Congress or in the United States of America.

“It cannot conceivably be right that newspapers or any other media organisation publishing such material face prosecution,” he added.

“In my view there is no threat to national security implied in the release of this material. It is embarrassing, but it is not a threat to national security. It is the duty of media organisations to bring new and interesting facts into the public domain. That is what they are there for.”

EuropĂ€ischer TĂŒröffner

n ihrem Koalitionsvertrag hatten sich CDU/CSU und SPD darauf verstĂ€ndigt, die aus dem Jahr 2000 stammenden „Politischen GrundsĂ€tze der Bundesregierung fĂŒr den Export von Kriegswaffen und sonstigen RĂŒstungsgĂŒtern“ bis Ende 2018 zu aktualisieren. Auf den ersten Blick suggerierte die betreffende Passage, es gehe darum, die Richtlinien restriktiver zu gestalten. NĂ€her betrachtet war darin aber – augenscheinlich bewusst – lediglich die Rede davon, man beabsichtige die Ausfuhrbestimmungen zu „schĂ€rfen“. Tunlichst wurde es vermieden, von einer „VerschĂ€rfung“ zu sprechen, wodurch der RĂŒcken fĂŒr VerĂ€nderungen in alle denkbaren Richtungen frei blieb.
