The President Trump Immigration Thread

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino...mp-administration-drop-border-arrests-n826596

The Border Patrol made 310,531 arrests during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, a decline of 25 percent from 415,816 a year earlier and the lowest level since 1971. Despite the significant decline, arrests increased every month since May — largely families and unaccompanied children.

IMO, as the number of border crossers decreases, the percentage apprehended increases, further staunching the flow. Adding to and enhancing the border barrier magnifies that trend, IMO. It isn't necessarily about catching every single one, but the fewer there are, the more likely they'll get caught.

On the "families and children" front, IMO, a DIRECT result of sanctuary city policies. When ICE goes looking for the high priority targets, they encounter other illegals in the community who they do not just ignore, as they had too under the Obama rules for ICE.

If their deport-able, they process them. So, sanctuary policies protect the criminals and expose the "just illegal but not otherwise criminal" to deportation. Law of unintended consequences on the sanctuary supporters.

So in less than a year from his inauguration, and with no sweeping changes to legislation, this Administration was able to make strides in curbing unlawful immigration solely by enforcing the laws already in force.

Perhaps they could do that with the gun laws too instead of passing just one more common sense measure.

Border wall prototype anti-climb testing begins - The San Diego Union-Tribune

The testing of the wall prototypes has begun, starting with grappling hooks. For some, it was possible, others not. Not mentioned in this article, but in previous ones is that the Border Patrol has the option of combining the features that are most effective into a new design.

Personally, my money is on the wider base (makes ladder positioning more difficult and more material to defeat if attempting to breach at ground level), rounded top (anti-grapple) version.

I don't see what he did as wrong. We should not indefinitely detain people. Being in custody for over 6 months without so much as a bail hearing is wrong.

 

[ghitch75]

They should be sent back

Yeah, he did. If they are released it should be into the deportation holding area on their way out of the country.

We are not talking about all the others that have immigrated here and NOT broken the law. They get to stay because they have their act together. Welcome to America.

due to criminal convictions

< seems like there is a reason they are in custody. Might want to consider NOT breaking the law if you want to stay.

Are they here legally? We should deport people who aren't here legally.

Did they actually commit the crimes they were accused of? Being accused of a crime, is not a crime. If they committed a crime, they should be charged and prosecuted according to due process. But we shouldn't detain people indefinitely. **** or get off the pot.

 

[OakRiver]

If they are here illegally then absolutely, and the US was working towards that end. The challenge is that their country of origin refused to accept them back. How should the US proceed with that?

Have the navy transport them within swimming distance of the home country's shore and push them overboard. In the case of landlocked countries, air drop them and let the locals sort it out.

US judge orders release of detained Iraqis waiting deportation over criminal convictions | Fox News

Folks commenting on this story... please read it...

Roughly 1,400 Iraqi immigrants, including hundreds already in custody, are facing deportations back to their native country due to criminal convictions. Until recently Iraq refused to take them back...

They came here, committed crimes and were convicted, and are now awaiting deportation until Iraq "allows" them back. Oh, and their defense lawyers have an answer for that, too, once the State Department gets Iraq to take their offenders back...

“Each petitioner faces the risk of torture or death on the basis of residence in America and publicized criminal records. Many will also face persecution as a result of a particular religious affiliation,” the judge said.

They came here and committed crimes, so the folks back home won't particularly like them... so they should stay indefinitely, roaming around freely?!?!?!?

Perhaps deport their lawyers with them.

If they are here illegally then absolutely, and the US was working towards that end. The challenge is that their country of origin refused to accept them back. How should the US proceed with that?

Relocate them to California and publicly ask Gov. Brown to give them a state job.

WaPo: 200,000 Salvadorans may be forced to leave the U.S. as Trump ends immigration protection

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-administration-to-end-provisional-residency-for-200000-salvadorans/2018/01/08/badfde90-f481-11e7-beb6-c8d48830c54d_story.html?utm_term=.abbe0ac631dd

The Salvadorans were granted what is known as Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, after a series of earthquakes devastated the country in 2001.


According to the DHS statement sent to lawmakers, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen determined that conditions in El Salvador have improved significantly since then, ending the original justification for the Salvadorans’ deportation protection.

These and the Haitians. I will be fair; install the points based immigration scoring system and I'll let the ones determined to meet the criteria for an acceptable score apply for citizenship immediately (but they go home in the interim)
