Asshole Trump is CAUSING 11YR high in IMMIGRANT SURGE as 'fear' of border shut down!!

[dukkha]

The numbers went down steadily during the Bush administration and again during the Obama administration.

the number are peaking back up - i just posted why
( ayslum laws and accompanied minors) - and we can't just deport them at the border,
they have to get processed and when there is no more room at the in (for processing)
they get released in the USA in small batches
why we need a wall -to stop the illegal entry and asylum claims

no as a matter of fact that last funding after the shutdown prohibited using money for the wall,
but also prohibited adults from being deported if the have "ties" to minors already here.
Pelosi actually made it worse..Think of that when you bash Trump, please.

?? I think trump is attempting to create a justification for his personal wall along the southern boarder, although rather poorly as anyone who cares to look can see..

Reagan "legalized" & nary a peep, & no one is blaming him for his "contributions"....... Why not??

Go read the stipulations that went along with Reagan's amnesty and were never enforced.

3 thoughts here. 1 PARTISAN, albeit obvious. The dumbass is giving the best 'SALES POINTS' to use by the 'COYOTES' towards the 'scared'. 'Get out now, we don't know what TRUMP is going to do.' 'They could put the wall up tomorrow.' 'We can get you out but you must hurry!'

2 'non partisan' thoughts. If Trump is so crazed about the asylum status seekers how come he NEVER mentions it. Undoing it? Or even talking about it? Why doesn't he use an exec order for that one? Seriously, I have no idea why this is a given and not negotiable. I never hear anyone talk about it. It's genesis in Geneva, NAFTA, UN mandated rights? Trump never lets other legal impediments get in his way, why does he leave this one alone?

How 'quiet', how invisible could it possibly be that these coyotes can amass groups and no one can STOP THEM! Are the feeder countries encouraging it? Get them out so we don't have to feed them? Are government officials being paid off in bribes to look the other way? It's one thing for small groups to be moved but a truckload or a walking carvan? These are highly visible movements. Can we NOT do surveillance and tell the 'exporting' countries who/what is on the move? OR is there fear they will be killed if we do that? Is it word of mouth? Do they put up signs, flyers, advertise in local 'papers'? Anyone to stem those methods?

Thoughts?

They aren't seeking asylum you stupid motherfucker. You left wing idiots have told them how to cheat the system and they lie about what they're doing. Hopefully, a whole gang of them will come in and Kate Steinle your family members. You'd deserve to watch each time it happened.

[Centerleftfl]

trump says this is a national emergency, which he is attempting to manufacture/exploit it.....

But what are the facts??

How many people are crossing the border illegally?

It's impossible to say for certain but apprehensions made by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents provide one measure.
CBP made a total of 396,579 apprehensions on the south-western border in fiscal year 2018, and 303,916 in 2017.
The number had fallen dramatically in President Trump's first year but rose again last year.

Looking at the wider picture, there has been a sharp fall in the number of people arrested in the last 18 years.

So, is there a current "crisis" of illegal immigration on the southern border?
"No," says Jacinta Ma, director of policy and advocacy for the National Immigration Forum, which advocates on behalf of immigrants.
"Even with the rise in apprehensions over the last year, it's way down from the early 2000s."

Everyone knows this now! Apprehensions are down. Now is that because he is PATHETICIALLY ineffective and put his mouth and resources where they are doing the least good? Frankly, I'm thinking it is because this is a new class of immigrants--asylum seekers. They aren't apprehended.

In the meantime while he is FUCKING AROUND with walls that are going "to stop invasions", the 'invaders' simply walk up to an entry point and are received. HE GETS IT! But he CAN'T SELL IT!

So again I ask, what is going to do to stop LEGAL ASYLUM SEEKERS? Not a word is spoken about it!! Not by him. I will assume FOX. Not on these boards. His base doesn't have a clue!

Perhaps they've realized there's someone that will finally treat them the way they need to be treated and unlike the previous President that coddled them.

I'm defending a President that treats illegals the way they need to be treated. You're defending illegals coming here thinking weakening border security will cause less of them to sneak in. Hopefully one will Kate Steinle your family member.

February marked 12-year-high for illegal immigration: 76,000 encountered at southern border
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/n...outhern-border

Border cops encountered more than 76,000 people they say tried to illegally cross from Mexico into the U.S. in February, making it the highest level of illegal immigration the U.S. has seen in one month since 2007.

The number shot up from 58,000 who were arrested and turned away at ports in January. The monthly rate has slowly crept up from 17,000 during President Trump's third month in office in 2017.

Senior Homeland Security officials said Tuesday they expect the number of migrants illegally entering the U.S. from Mexico to continue spiking due to a continued surge of family and children arriving daily.

A total 396,000 people were arrested at the southwest border in 2018, 157,000 of whom were from those two groups.

The number of children traveling with parents topped 50,000 in 2018 — up 20 percent from 41,000 a year earlier.

The number of people who traveled in family units shot up 42 percent from 75,000 in 2017 to 107,000 last year.

Both of those categories have continued to creep up since fiscal 2019 started last October.

Half of the 50,000 people arrested at the southern border in January for illegally crossing into the U.S. were families. If that trend continues through 2019, it will tick up to around 300,000 family units by September.

Since October, CBP has documented 70 large groups of more than 100 people each. A total of 12,000 people who arrived in large groups have been taken into custody in the first five months of fiscal 2019.

The families and minors are also making up a larger portion of all apprehensions. In 2019, they have accounted for 60 percent of arrests.
