The South has risen! I warned you! I saw it coming. One third of Americans believe a Civil War is coming. HMS wants to build camps to house 12,000 people – not born here! What about the threat of people – who are born here? Why do Republican voters want to make enemies out of fellow Americans? Will they feel more safe hurting the lives of people who can not be deported? Are they supposed to surrender to the Fake Jesus who believes the free press is the enemy of half the people? Will WikiLeaks post a list or Republican voters with their addresses?

A war may be brewing within the United States, almost a third of voters say in a poll released Wednesday.
Amid widespread political polarization on issues like immigration and recent public confrontations of Trump administration officials, 31 percent of probable U.S. voters surveyed said they think “it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years.”
Democrats at 37 percent were slightly more fearful of a second civil war than Republicans at 32 percent, the poll from Rasmussen Reports found.
While more than half thought it was unlikely the USA would see a second civil war soon, 59 percent of voters were still concerned that opponents of President Donald Trump’s policies would resort to violence.
During former President Barack Obama’s second year in office, a similar 53% of voters thought those who did not support his policies would turn to violence, according to Rasmussen.
The Department of Defense said Wednesday that it has been asked by the government to house and care for a migrant “family population of up to 12,000 people,” a request made as the Trump administration seeks to detain those caught illegally entering the United States.
The Defense Department said in a statement Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security requested space to house 2,000 people within 45 days and additional capacity will be added later.

After blocking ships with rescued migrants from docking at Italian ports and announcing plans for a “census” of the country’s Roma population, divisive Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has become the new poster boy for Europe’s resurgent far-right.
As leader of the anti-immigration League party, Salvini is among a host of far-right politicians who gained a footing by vilifying migrants and who are now enjoying unprecedented support.
A poll last week showed that two-thirds of Italians agreed with the policy of blocking rescue boats from the ports, and the League’s support has nearly doubled in the last month.
The League also built on its support at local elections over the weekend, winning in the second round of votes even in cities that had swung traditionally to the left. Salvini called the win “historic.”
Elsewhere, Germany’s anti-immigrant far-right party, Alternative for Germany, polled higher than ever before at 16 percent in a survey released Sunday in the Bild am Sonntag newspaper. German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative coalition, meanwhile, slumped two points to 31 percent.
Across Europe, support for populist far-right parties is higher than at any time in the last 30 years, a Bloomberg analysis found last year. And while people were found to be motivated by a variety of concerns when they vote, polls have shown that immigration is the top concern among E.U. citizens.
BRUSSELS — Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, said on Wednesday that the policies of President Trump had put trans-Atlantic relations “under tremendous pressure” and that Europeans should prepare for darker times.
As a trade war looms between the United States and the European Union, with retaliation for American tariffs on steel and aluminum and threats of further tariffs on imported cars , Mr. Tusk said in a letter to the heads of government of the European Union that “unfortunately the divisions go beyond trade.”
Mr. Tusk, in his letter, took note of a rancorous meeting this month of the Group of 7 industrialized countries, when Mr. Trump mocked European leaders and criticized their trade policies and military spending.

“It is my belief that, while hoping for the best, we must be ready to prepare our Union for worst-case scenarios,” Mr. Tusk said.
Without calling out the American president by name, Mr. Tusk also criticized Mr. Trump and his immigration policies, using Twitter to denounce those who support “anti-European & anti-liberal” views.
More people starting to believe only strong-handed, anti-European & anti-liberal authority can stop illegal migration.
If people believe that, they will also believe everything else they say.
