ummmmmm... YES!!!Duh of course. Versus Obama encouraging kids to come here and distributing them around the country with other illegals.
Word is, that Trump eats Mexican babies.
Pass it on.
“The drop breaks a nearly 20-year trend, as CBP data going back to 2000 shows an uptick in apprehensions every February. “
BECAUSE.... it’s when they come to file IRS RETURNS.
It took a long time, lots of encouragement, expensive logistic support, and a sustained media campaign in Latin America for Obama to whip up the flow of immigrants that we saw.
Media savvy Trump has just been much more effective at getting his message out. Don’t come.
I think it just means the flood trying to get in before Trump took office is done.
The O administration changed how they count apprehensions and deportations to make themselves look good so will be hard to compare going forward if they go back to the way they used to track it.
I can say illegal crossing was increasing noticeably until President Trump took office. Since he took office enforcement has REALLY been stepped up in my area. Border Patrol is taking back the 50 miles of border that was given to the Cartels over the years and we are seeing a huge difference. It will not be and is not easy but BP is really getting the smugglers out of the brush here lately. Lots and lots of activity. I am not seeing illegals travel through, I would imagine they know this country is now serious about dealing with them and enforcing our laws. Those that are crossing are likely being caught much sooner and those that get through have to be hiding much better. It was so bad for a while the illegals would just hike in as if they were on a stroll, not even trying to hide. It was crazy.
My Mexican immigrant (legal) wife said she’s been told by those in the Latino community that many illegals are leaving the country now, particularly those with criminal backgrounds due to fear.
I don’t see it as just tough ‘talk.’ I see action - lots of it and that’s why these illegals are so damned scared. I want them afraid, very afraid 24/7/365 until they leave my country. Obama threw open the doors for 8 years and now Trump is shutting it and he’s called in the exterminators to clear the rest of the house. Winning.
How is the number of illegal crossing total quantified?
And if these “immigrants” were voting republican 70/30 would the left still be helping them?
Maybe IF we’re lucky a few, (a lot I hope) went home to Mexico for Christmas and decided to not sneak back over this year. Probably more so the border states would be where they could easily travel back for Thanksgiving/Christmas while outdoor seasonal work is at its low . . . then sneak back over before Spring. Hope they decided to stay in Mexico and get in line instead vs getting thrown out and suffer worse consequences for their opportunity to return lawfully. Are they that smart?
You bet. Any other dumb questions?
How about just letting the Border Patrol and ICE do their job.
Trump doesn’t have to do anything. Just talk. He’s already cut down on infiltration, and hordes of illegals are scampering toward the Canadian border.
ummmmmm... YES!!!
