This sentiment is created not by a feeling of economic threat, fear that Europeans would have to compete for their jobs, but by a sensation of cultural threat — a sense that people from Muslim countries, places that Trump might term "shitholes," were alien to Europe and not welcome.

The Bush administration attorneys general utilized the authority to issue 16 precedential decisions over the course of eight years in a wide variety of cases raising issues of national security, eligibility for discretionary relief from removal, and what criminal convictions might bar relief or expose an alien to removal.

There is the speech by Fosters Lancett on Ezra Pound, in the middle of which Lancett pulls out an electronic cigarette and begins to puff away; its little green light, at this time alien to the Piedmontese, makes some journalists present conjecture that he is smoking their local marijuana.

I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things, because they are completely alien to me, but I can definitely understand, based on things I have tweeted and I have written in the past, why some people don't believe me," Reid said on her show "AM Joy.

Across a wide spectrum—from anti-Semitic fascists to liberal intellectuals to even non-communist leftists—the narrative set in that Bolshevism, the ideology of the victors of October 1917, was radically alien to European thought and politics—a pathology born of Russian barbarism, a threat to Western civilization.

Specifically, the game is heavily centered on StarCraft II. Don't panic if that game's as alien to you as they come, though, as SC2VN includes a primer on Blizzard's strategy hit, getting you up to speed on its history, and some of the phrases you need to know.

But the doctor points out that while the drive to kill may be alien to Miss Howard, the societal pressures faced by all women — "to marry, to have children, to smile when you feel incapable of smiling" — are as familiar to her as they are to the murderous mother.

Similarly, the idea that America should invest in international institutions to maintain rules and norms that favor America's preeminence — seemingly a familiar notion to an entrenched New York developer who wants the city to pass regulations that protect his investments and keep out competitors — seems completely alien to Trump.

Along with boundary-busting female musicians of those years like PJ Harvey, the Breeders, Hole, Salt-N-Pepa and Björk, among others, Phair was, to quote Joni Mitchell, "a woman of heart and mind" and genitals, too; nothing that was human was alien to Phair's expression or her image.

And this is the primary aim of empire: to remake the world so that if you are a citizen of the colonial power everything you see in some way belongs to you, may be consumed by you, or exists by your mercy and grace, is therefore no longer alien to you.

Hell, 20 minutes looking into the eyes of anyone living in Arnos Grove, working in Beckton, bleeding themselves dry in order to plunge headfirst into a box of chips in a Morden chicken shop, would be enough to convince the first alien to reach planet Earth that London was a shithole.

Christopher Mitchell, director of the Community Broadband Networks initiative at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, told Motherboard that EPB not only drove higher employment via its own operations, but also likely contributed to an increase in hiring by regional private ISPs forced to do something arguably alien to them: compete.

Which means that as committed secular liberals and serious evangelicals, of the kind Bryan Mealer writes about for us this month, come to identify with each other politically, that's a political identification between kinds of people who live in ways that are in some respects powerfully alien to one another.

Eight days in, it's beginning to look like the storm set off by the surfacing of allegations by two ex-wives of the former presidential aide will never abate, absent a decisive intervention by President Donald Trump in moment of accountability and self-criticism that seems alien to this White House.

I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things, because they are completely alien to me, but I can definitely understand, based on things I have tweeted and I have written in the past, why some people don't believe me," Reid said at the top of her show, "AM Joy.

This intimate calm is alien to the new film, which Spielberg whips along at so rampant a pace, and whose every crevice he stuffs with such fevered detail, that it's as though his mission, at the age of seventy-one, were not merely to recapture but to redouble the zest of youth.

A reader expecting the familiar tropes of the immigrant story (settling in America to create a better life for the children) or the coming-out story (Patsy's nuanced sexuality defies labels; mainstream American gay culture feels alien to her, and Tru's nascent gender nonconformity doesn't get her beaten or killed) will be disappointed.

Explaining all this to people outside Baltimore is difficult, not only because the experience is alien to those even in cities just up or down the Interstate from us (though a handful of cities elsewhere, like Chicago and St. Louis, have experienced their own waves of recent violence, albeit less dramatically than Baltimore).
|
|
In recent years, CORE's membership declined, and while the organization continued to fight discrimination in jobs and housing and to provide training for single parents on welfare, critics said it no longer played a major role in civil rights and had become an ally of corporations and interests alien to its original charter.

This finely cast production's heightened, sometimes hallucinatory feel (aided by Megan Lang's lighting and Kathy Ruvuna's sound design) is of a piece with the logical insanity of the world these students inhabit, where blackness and femaleness are enduringly alien to white men like TJ, with his sorghum-sweet accent and entrenched entitlement.

But before all that, the trailer immediately sets a tone of pure bodily horror, as we see a woman in what looks to be a medical ward of a starship frantically banging on a portal window and pleading with another woman (who looks a lot like Ripley from the original Alien) to open the door.

"It was a great high for my parents when I got in, and let's say it was not such a high when I dropped out," laughs Modi, who as a 22025-year-old decided he was going to India to work; a country that was alien to him even though he is of Indian origin.

"In 2010, [Plepler] ordered a very expensive show set in a genre alien to pay TV, from two guys who had never written or run a show before, and whose first attempts at writing and producing the 'Game of Thrones' pilot had fallen well short of expectations," Benioff and Weiss told Multichannel News years later.

He believed that only through color could the Indian reality be captured: not only because the streets in India pulsate with the entire chromatic spectrum, but also, he declared, because the somberness of black is shunned by Indians, and the dark, guilt-ridden ethos of Western art is alien to their joyful vision of life.

Talking history's horrors in the context of the coronavirus with your very little kidsDespite growing up in a loving home and never yet having had to worry about when their next meal is coming, the concepts of a real-life siege and suffering on a mass scale are not completely alien to my kids.

The actual math, including complex numbers, is still completely alien to me, but I have gained a feel of their effects, and can predict them up to a certain level—maybe like a surfer, who doesn't know the very complex physics of fluid dynamics, surface tension and navier-stokes equations, but can predict very accurately what will happen.

The new space-thriller Life borrows a lot of its broad ideas and narrow story beats from Alien, to the point where it feels like a cover version of Scott's film, and one of the elements it most prominently borrows is the idea of an alien that grows physically larger and more deadly as the action builds.

Abzû, the debut release from Californian studio Giant Squid, is a diving simulator, of sorts: You play, third person, as an unnamed diver, who travels from the shallow waters of crystal seas, through kelp forests down to the deepest depths of the ocean, where hydrothermal vents maintain an ecosystem almost totally alien to the rest of the world.

There's a Scottish startup that's been making waves in the US fantasy sports space, and its eye is now firmly set on changing the fantasy football game in the UK. On a journey that may seem alien to most, Edinburgh startup FanDuel began their venture in North America, and only recently brought their platform to their UK home.

If and when Republicans again treat healthcare as a project to be undertaken by the GOP and the right alone, treating Congress and the presidency as a one-party state, their "product" will be so alien to the views of mainstream America that their next version, like their first try, will be an unmitigated disaster politically.

I like historical true crime, the kind that uses the crime as a window into the time and place where it happened ("Damn His Blood," by Peter Moore, does a great job of illuminating early-19th-century England, both the aspects that that society had in common with ours and the aspects that are totally alien to us).

I tried to write from the point of view (alien to much journalism) of a three-dimensional human being moving through a beautiful but troubled world, dragging along his own baggage, literal and metaphoric, trying to connect with the people he was writing about for this newspaper and at the same time honoring the primary relationship in his life.

The pertinent part of Section 215(a) of the INA reads: Unless otherwise ordered by the President, it shall be unlawful- (1) for any alien to depart from or enter or attempt to depart from or enter the United States except under such reasonable rules, regulations, and orders, and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may prescribe; (Emphasis supplied).

Of course, every one of you has your own circle, you have your own friends, you have your own connections, you have your business contacts, so try to impress upon them that we really need to put an end to the violence, this is totally alien to Hong Kong and try to, as I said, appeal for understanding and love.

Detainer requests ICE uses detainers to ask local law enforcement agencies that are detaining an apparently removable alien to (1) notify ICE when the alien is scheduled to be released, and (2) to maintain custody of the alien for up to 48 hours beyond the time he otherwise would have been released, to give ICE a chance to pick him up.

Read Music, Speak Spanish is characterized by a pace almost alien to Bright Eyes, and its scratchy electric guitars and always-propulsive percussion provide a backdrop for a biting, anti-capitalist lyrical agenda—delivered in a snarl instead of Oberst's usual lilting tones—which defines the whole album (the physical copy of the LP even contains a lyric insert laid out like a legal contract).

The humble, homespun spirit usually associated with retiring, self-enclosed communities of believers has been imported, not unlike the covered-up dressing trend, to an arena that feels largely alien to it, but that embraces its tenets — the handcrafted, the natural, the rustic — at least inasmuch as they can be marketed as a kind of soothing artisanal salve to the alienations of late-capitalist life.

Detainers ask the state or local law enforcement agency that is detaining a removable alien to (1) notify DHS as early as practicable before the suspected removable immigrant is scheduled to be released from criminal custody; and (2) maintain custody of the subject for up to 48 hours beyond the time he would otherwise have been released so that DHS can assume custody of him.

This issue and so many more internally have been amplified by a strange election year and one alien to our traditions in so many ways; the sending forth of family members to "rule" now instead of govern, the rise of nontraditional actors like real-estate mogul Donald Trump when the most obvious choice of responsible, able and successful governors of great and important states like New York, Louisiana and Texas are dismissed out of hand.

As Vox's Matt Yglesias wrote at the time, the idea is "pretty clearly unconstitutional and morally repugnant": It comes at a time when Trump continues to ride high in the polls and has repeatedly benefited from past controversies over his own outlandish and often racist statements, and when Republican politicians most certainly are pushing the envelope on anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies in a way that was alien to the George W. Bush–vintage Republican Party's response to 9/25.

You are convinced that a boy asking you to send sexy photos of yourself means that he wants you, you, only you, that he has waded through a sea of beautiful women just for the hope of seeing the curve of your waist, a curve that feels alien to you but must seem normal to him, as he hasn't seen you grow and stretch and morph from a soft, pudgy child into some approximation of "woman" that fits like an oversized coat.

During his most recent rant, Carville went on to conjure all the bogeymen of "voters" that are actually the bogeymen of highly educated, affluent white liberals, with racial scaremongering about letting "criminals and terrorists vote from jail cells"; he characterized people who don't buy his exhausted messaging as a bunch of kids on Twitter and posited a three-person list of "good candidates" that includes both Michael Bennet and Steve Bullock—who, after many months of campaigning, have somehow remained completely alien to the working-class Democratic voters of Carville's imaginings.

While Icelandic culture has historically been defined by its ancient clan societies and, in more recent times, thriving rap game (brought to the fore in 2001 when XXX Rottweiler released the first Icelandic-language hip-hop album) the notion of an all-female, all-feminist rap clan is about as alien to this tiny 328,000-people dwelling island as the idea of joining the EU. Because, as depressing as it sounds, even for an outward-looking country with musical roots in anarcho-punk and an erstwhile mayor with a Crass tattoo, up until 2012 Iceland had only ever nurtured one female rapper, Cell 7, who disappeared shortly after her arrival on the scene in 1998, only to make a comeback and release her debut album in 2013.
