Re: Trump To Sign Bill. Declare Nat. Emergency
Senator Lindsey Graham to the head of Border Patrol: Does your agency need a wall or not?
His response: Absolutely
I'd love to hear the "this isn't an emergency" crowd come back and explain why the head of the BP is wrong.
I'd love to hear why we should be listening to Socialists/Democrats/RINO's vs the actual people at the border trying to deal with this disaster that Congress refuses to fix.

Re: Trump To Sign Bill. Declare Nat. Emergency
They just don't care. They think it's better for their career to ignore this problem. Dems for votes and having a permanent underclass. A good number of republicans enjoy their chamber of commerce type donors who want cheap labor. When you have the leader of the Senate undercutting his party's President https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...Zby?li=BBnbcA1, it's obvious the only reason we don't have open borders is public pressure.

Re: Trump To Sign Bill. Declare Nat. Emergency
CBP Agents in Texas apprehended over 400 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS in 5 minutes today. 5 minutes. Let that sink in.
Definitely NOT an emergency.

Re: Trump To Sign Bill. Declare Nat. Emergency
Dems are nor trying to spin the crisis as 'humanitarian' cause they can no longer deny the problem.
This is of course to pivot to their prefer plan of dealing with it, amnesty and open borders.
"The system is in freefall. DHS is doing everything possible to respond to a growing humanitarian catastrophe while also securing our borders, but we have reached peak capacity and are now forced to pull from other missions to respond to the emergency," Nielsen said in a statement Friday.
The statement followed a a letter to the House Homeland Security Committee on Thursday, in which Nielsen requested emergency funding for border security and specific powers to detain asylum-seeking family units for longer than currently allowed.
But Democrats are pushing back, accusing Nielsen of misrepresenting the cause of the crisis and failing to understand how to address it.
"In her letter to Congress, the Secretary continues to confuse and mislead on the situation at the border and how we got to this point. President Trump’s border security and immigration policies have failed, and the Administration deserves much of the blame for making the difficult situation at the border worse," said House Homeland Security Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) in a statement Friday.
Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chairman Rep. Joaquín Castro (D-Texas) piled on after Nielsen's letter, saying the administration "has acted in bad faith when it comes to immigration and asylum policies."
"The Department of Homeland Security policies have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis at the border, and now Secretary Nielsen has put forth a list of proposals that will continue to hurt asylum seekers and deepen the crisis," added Castro in a statement.
Democrats said Trump's threat to shut the border would only make the situation worse.
"Threatening Mexico with a full border closure is just another rash decision, reflective of the president’s obsession with partisan talking points and campaign rallies," said Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas) in a statement.
Neither side denies a crisis exists amid large numbers of asylum seekers heading to the border. But there is a sharp disagreement over how the situation on the border reached a tipping point.
The administration is calling it an immigration crisis, while Trump critics say it has been caused by mismanaging resources at the border.
The Trump administration attributes the crisis to sheer numbers -- apprehensions of family units outside ports of entry at the border spiked in February, forcing the Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection to redirect resources to care for the migrant families.
In February, the Border Patrol apprehended 36,174 people traveling as part of family units and 6,825 unaccompanied children (UACs). In the four months prior, border apprehensions hovered around 25,000 apprehensions of family unit members and 5,000 UACs per month.

Re: Trump To Sign Bill. Declare Nat. Emergency
Funny thing about Jeh Johnson...
The whole..."separating children from their mothers" policy and "caging illegal immigrants" all happened while Jeh was DHS Secretary under BHO.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Don't mention this to anyone though. It doesn't align with the hate towards the "evil orange man" so it's pretty much ignored.

Re: Trump To Sign Bill. Declare Nat. Emergency
Anyone have a problem with this idea? If you can't send the illegals back home, just drop them off at the well known sanctuary cities and let them deal with the financial burden they create.

Re: Trump To Sign Bill. Declare Nat. Emergency
The only problem I have with that idea ...is we are ALL gonna pay for these people. The cities and states that take them will use them for elections and cheap labor, but the rest of us will foot the bill for their “free” housing , healthcare and most likely food stamps ( at least at the beginning). So WTF?
And again these people are willing to work for pennies so greedy companies hire them over “lazy , greedy Americans” to do medial jobs. Shit in some places these people are gonna make $15 an hr. Although it’s been my experience that most illegals work for cash under the table. So now not only are they a burden on the tax payers ....they aren’t paying any taxes themselves!
Holy Shit what a world we now live in !
