Trump’s Justice Department to end ‘catch and release’ immigration policy

In what Attorney General Jeff Sessions is heralding “a new era,” the Justice Department is prioritizing criminal prosecution of illegal immigrants and smugglers to support the Trump’ administration’s immigration enforcement plan — directing prosecutors to bring felony charges against those caught in the U.S. after a prior deportation.

The new enforcement priorities will end the “catch and release practices” of the Obama administration and expand the department’s role in the Trump administration’s plan to crack down on illegal immigration, Mr. Sessions said Tuesday during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona.

The guidance issued by Mr. Sessions orders federal prosecutors to prioritize criminal charges against illegal immigrants with a history of prior removals or other criminal convictions as well as charges against those who aid in the

Arrest and deport all illegal aliens. And if a felony charge is available, use it. Zero tolerance.

I don’t fish that much but I think if you catch a fish you should be able to keep it.

Looks like we’ll need to install one way turn-stiles in our wall pretty soon.

Prosecute natives who knowingly hire Illegals. Or fine them with the money going to build the Wall.

How sweet it is to have a decent President and Attorney General that are enforcing the rule of law and doing what’s best for our nation.

I'm recalling that Trump won me over at those times when AG Sessions was setting the tone and articulating policies. What a shame Jeff Sessions has neither the temperament nor the charisma to have become president.

Note to President Trump: Trump is at his best when AG Sessions is at his side to keep him grounded and focused on the important issues. What the administration needs to set it back on course iis more of AG Sessions and the Deplorables and a whole lot less (preferably none) of the influence from the swamp creatures who've slithered their way into the WH.

Note also how loyal to Trump sessions has been. The freedom caucus might want to take a lesson from that.

You say the Freedom Caucus wasn’t loyal. I disagree. They were loyal to their voters by opposing the RyanCare fiasco. They didn’t not go along with a plan which was really an underhanded attempt to save Obamacare.

“Prosecute natives who knowingly hire Illegals. Or fine them with the money going to build the Wall.”

Additionally, defund the “freedom cities” or “sanctuary cities” that obstruct enforcement of federal immigration laws; and DARE them to raise taxes to try and make up the deficit.

Those revenues should also be put into anti-Illegalism programs.

The cities run by Democrats, like our beloved Rahm, don’t mind raising taxes. Over half the City Council is elected by the leeches of the city.

Unfortunately, our court system will be tied up for decades trying to accomplish this. I think it would be better to stop all their illegal employment and pay them to leave. When they leave, they get fingerprinted so they can’t come in and collect again. We would save an enormous amount of money by giving them 5K for each man, woman, and child to say adios.

What we really need is to hold Jorge Busho and brack O'Dummy accountable for treason for allowing this criminal wetback invasion of our sovereign nation. Scumbags.
