According to the latest data released on Friday, illegal immigration on Mexico border has surged unexpectedly, and it’s now back to Obama-era levels, which means that President Trump’s gains with regard to border crossings are beginning to wear off; thus building a “big, beautiful wall” should be a top priority for the new administration.
Last month alone, almost 40,000 “border jumpers” were caught as they were trying to enter the United States illegally, and that makes for a 12% surge in illegal border crossings compared to October, and, take a load of this: more than 2x the numbers from March and April, when the POTUS bragged about his accomplishments. Moreover, there has been observed a significant rise in families crossing the border illegally together, a 45% increase in November respectively, as well as a surge in unaccompanied minors, i.e. a 26% increase last month alone.

It won’t stop until we build the wall!
Building a wall takes time. Build does not equal waving a magic wand.

Good point. But Trump has the authority to put federal troops on the border. Why not do that?
Of course they want the jobs Trump is producing.
Build the wall. Stop Obama's "Catch and Release" Policy!
It means the punks think the threats are empty.
I think they are in for a ruse awakening, they have been warned.
Illegal is ILLEGAL
MR Trump has declared violent illegals go to the TOP of the list
I’m afraid the Moore loss may have killed the slim chance of getting the wall built. Kelly flatly said US troops will NOT be used to secure the border.
When you have 34 Reps signing a letter saying that they want DACA fixed, you can expect a surge of illegals in anticipation of getting amnesty. The same thing happened in 1986.
I have said forever that there are eminent domain issues with the wall, 99% of Tx land is privately owned.
There are a ton of issues, but enforcing the law should not be one of them.
Round up the illegals and punish them
Reagans biggest F up
Enforce the border
Detain illegals making illegal entry
Establish work/detainee camps to have the illegals help build the wall while awaiting determination of entry
Release/ return to the country of origin; if insufficient transportation funds, have them 'earn' funds through working on the wall.
Establish reciprocity with Mexico: they jail 'Gringos' for 3 years for illegal entry, we should do the same.
It's called reciprocity !
We the people used to ride the fences and we had great Mexican/American neighbors, We had Migrants that worked the season and went home, Now the FEDS have F’d up what is common sense and what was law and we have sanctuary cities full of indignent MS 13 scofflaw punks
Remember the proposed weekly national list of crimes known to have been committed by persons that are in the US illegally? Seems like it would be pretty easy to put together, even if it’s just for felony convictions.
Freegards
Building a wall simply isn’t enough.
What we need to do is cut off ALL social services to illegals and start jailing people who employ them.
We need to break Mexicos huevos!
Why will no American call out the corrupt Mexican Gov?
Why do we allow corruption in OUR Gov?
Mexico is a 3rd world shithole run by corrupt pigs
And I Love Mexico
Trump is the only guy I have seen to put pressure on Mexico, but I have not seen enough yet
That should not be a problem, eminent domain is designed for this purpose. A wall is a national infrastructure program, access easements should be drawn up and land owners should be compensated for the easement. This isn’t rocket science. Let’s get this wall built, we need it. Enough nay saying, lets get this done. If we can build thousands of miles of walls along our highways so headlights and noise don’t interfere with the neighborhoods, why can’t we build the wall to protect our borders?
Well a DACA compromise is on the horizon. I guess the illegals thinking is you got to be here to get in on the action.
Posse Committatus is a legal obstacle.
Bush put unarmed troops on the border, toothless troops in order to stay within the law
Let the local folks on the border control the border as we did for centurys.
The more laws we write the less clear the law is
Trump is rightly railing against Sanctuary cities
