Trump: “We must always arrest people coming into our Country illegally”
“Now is the best opportunity ever for Congress to change the ridiculous and obsolete laws on immigration.”
Trump is not backing down from the current immigration/border fight.
Tuesday, Trump reiterated his commitment to arresting people who enter the country illegally.
Crime in Germany is up 10% plus (officials do not want to report these crimes) since migrants were accepted. Others countries are even worse. Be smart America!

Democrats are the problem. They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13. They can’t win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!

#CHANGETHELAWS Now is the best opportunity ever for Congress to change the ridiculous and obsolete laws on immigration. Get it done, always keeping in mind that we must have strong border security.

Amazingly, the suggestion is controversial. Securing a nation’s borders should be the least contentious subject in politics, but this is 2018 and the idiocracy is upon us.
The Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy of arresting all illegal immigrants has resulted in more children being held separate from their parents or guardians, more than usual, that is. In no domestic circumstance where parents are incarcerated do their children join them behind bars. In those situations, children are placed in state custody. Anyway…
The usual suspects are virtue signaling:
The administration’s current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded. The administration has the power to rescind this policy. It should do so now.

Children shouldn’t be used as a negotiating tool. @realDonaldTrump should end this heartless policy and Congress should get an immigration deal done that provides for asylum reform, border security and a path to citizenship for Dreamers. https://t.co/OOjv0vNeVg

Monday, Sen. Cruz promised to introduce the Protect Kids and Parents Act this week.
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul along with Rep. Goodlatte introduced a bill that would tackle some of the same issues and others, one McCaul says Trump is likely to sign his bill if it makes it to his desk.
Earlier this month, Senator Feinstein introduced the Keep Families Together Act, which suggests a veritable therapy training for CBP agents in order to identify child trauma and attachment issues and does little to address the root causes of the mass family immigration problem.
Everyone in this situation is exploiting these children for their own purposes. Many parents bring them, knowing that children ensure a speedy release from detention, and every politician involved is squeezing every last bit of political capital out of the situation.
It’s easy to play armchair pundit and lecture these parents about how they should’ve had their ducks in a row before voluntarily bringing their children into a nasty situation. For many, whatever they endure getting here is worth the risk and still a better option than staying. That doesn’t mean, however, that they’re exempt from our laws.
If the problem has an easy fix (as it appears), we can’t (and shouldn’t) sit idly by as these children suffer because of their parent’s decisions. Not if it’s easily avoidable.
Really, it’s all gross.
Cruz’s suggestions are the best solution on the table at the moment. Hopefully, Congress will take seriously their lawmaking obligation to find a solution to this awful and growing problem.

We wouldn’t have this problem if we had built the wall.
No way that’s fake news. Dems, before they started screaming about this family separation issue, assured us that a wall wouldn’t stop illegal immigration because aliens just overstay their visas.

Both parties and the CoC want illegals’ cheap labor.
Hillary seems to agree (back then)

Hillary, nothing is my fault, a message from the Whiner In Chief.
Build the freaking wall!!!
Return them to their country of origin, or, if they are asylum seekers, to the first country they entered into in their journey to the US, as a family.
“Children shouldn’t be used as a negotiating tool.”
That’s right, Jeb!, and they also shouldn’t be used as human shields or pawns by people seeking to violate U.S. laws, which is why you’ll no doubt resist any changes to current U.S. policy which would further incentivize illegal aliens to exploit and use vulnerable kids in the shameless way that is currently happening.
The Bush clan is in bed with Democrats. They can’t be trusted.
“The administration’s current family separation policy is an affront to the decency of the American people, and contrary to principles and values upon which our nation was founded.”
You know what else is contrary to the principles and values upon which our nation was founded, McCain? The continual and disgraceful destruction of the rule of law in this country by tens of millions of law-breaking illegal aliens and their shameless and hypocritical enablers and supporters in the U.S., like yourself.
You know who else is watching this? Others in Central America thinking about sneaking in to the US. Know who else is watching? Europeans who are being over run with ‘migrants’. The populations of Europe will take heart and hopefully act. Their ‘leaders’ are praying they don’t.
“It’s easy to play armchair pundit and lecture these parents about how they should’ve had their ducks in a row before voluntarily bringing their children into a nasty situation. For many, whatever they endure getting here is worth the risk and still a better option than staying.”
Bullpucky, young lady. If these were true asylum-seekers, they would claim asylum in the first country they reach. But they don’t. Instead, they continue over a thousand miles. To reach a country with more generous welfare. And far too many naive idiots.
Maybe we should send them to Spain. Apparently they still have room for refugees.
Noticed that too did you!?
There are two bills being discussed. Goodlatte’s bill and Ryan’s bill. Goodlatte’s bill does more to end chain migration which is a huge contributor to the burgeoning population of foreigners here – approaching 60 million of 320 million.
Congressional offices COUNT PHONE CALLS. Call, email, fax them, mail them bricks as we did in 2006-2007.
I called my congressman’s office, Barry Loudermilk and was told the vote might end up being next week because of other votes this week.
We stopped the 2006 amnesty by melting phone lines. NumbersUSA.com will help you find your rep and give you info on the proposals.
Also, you can go to http://www.House.gov/representatives and in the upper right hand corner they have a box for you to find your rep.
CALL THEM. TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO. I promise the illegal aliens are.
How can I find the federal statutes that the Administration says requires them to arrest an illegal immigrant when caught at the border and how can I find out how specific Senators and Representatives voted on the legislation creating the statutes? I know our crack MSM reporters must be reporting this information and I guess I just missed the newscast.
I’m guessing they’re referenced in Flores v. Sessions (2017)…

Also, as to the issue itself, we all know this is just caturwauling (sp?) by the left.
Illegal aliens have many privileges Americans don’t have so that illegal aliens have become special citizens and Americans are pack mules for them.
If you listen closely, our GOPe reps/senators are telling us the reason they support this, besides donors, is because our birthrate is so low. So basically, in their view we have a dysfunctional society. Okay, then instead of importing foreigners, why not pull a Trump and change our policies to disincentivize dysfunction???!!!
Instead, they buy votes by bribing people not to work, then complain when they don’t work, or won’t work for the reduced wages caused by illegal aliens’ presence.
They need to quit talking about “empowering women” in work, especially since women don’t really want the dirty jobs anyway, and start encouraging, in any way they can, the nuclear family and women to be Moms instead of cogs at work.
Quit denigrating Moms and WIVES, and change our laws to quit encouraging the breaking up of families. So essential…. Yet they don’t have the imagination or intestinal fortitude to do these things. Always the E-Z things to get re-elected.
“because our birthrate is so low”
Rather than spend a fortune subsidizing immigration of people, offer tax incentives for those who are desirable to have more children. Also, prioritise immigration of Europeans fleeing Muslim hordes.
We limited our family to two children so that we could better provide for their education. Perhaps education vouchers for children from families with three children. That would have influenced us to have a third child.
I hope the president stays strong!!! The assault from the Left is incessant.
Throw the damn kids in whatever detention center the adults get thrown into — keep them all locked up as a family!
Notice to all illegal invaders: If you don’t want your children to be torn from your embraces, stay home with the damn kids! Do not invade the US!
Re: John McCain: Why won’t you die already?!
“Cruz’s suggestions are the best solution on the table at the moment. Hopefully, Congress will take seriously their lawmaking obligation to find a solution to this awful and growing problem.”
Democrats have rejected Cruz’ plan, saying that they “want to keep the focus on Trump.” In other words, you got played again. Democrats don’t give a rat’s ass about those kids.
Once again, the problem is not what happens to unknown immigrants who show up, unannounced, at the US border, or sneak across it, and claim asylum. The problem is that these people are even allowed into the country in the first place. Most US citizens have not issued an invitation for these people to come to the US. Most US citizens do not want these people here. Most of the asylum seekers are not from either Canada or Mexico, but from countries which do not abut the USA. These people are analogous to beggers who knock on your door and demand entry or break into your house and take up residence, then claim the right to be there because people several streets over do not like them.
And, the Cruz proposals are a joke. probably designed to gain his reelection.
Cruz is an example of a low life politician. There should be zero tolerance for anymore people coming from the south. They have collectively abused America. When illegal criminals are caught, we should apply a brand to their forehead, and that brand should be worth $200 for capture, $500 DOA. Use a laser to create the brand, with a unique serial number which can only be redeemed once. That will stop any fraud.
I read the ICE unions letter re: proposals a while ago. It said neither increase ICE EROS, which is the interior enforcement group,which only has 5,000 I in it to handle all aliens, legal and illegal in the interior of the U.S.A., while adding several more thousand to border patrol.
It observed that border patrol would not have stopped 9/11 because they entered with visas and only a fully staffed EROS could have stopped them.
More security theater from Congress. Letter posted on http://www.numbersusa.com.
