President Trump’s vision of a “big, beautiful” wall along the Mexican border may never be realized, and almost certainly not as a 2,000-mile physical structure spanning sea to sea.
But in a systematic and less visible way, his administration is following a blueprint to reduce the number of foreigners living in the United States — those who are undocumented and those here legally — and overhaul the U.S. immigration system for generations to come.
Across agencies and programs, federal officials are wielding executive authority to assemble a bureaucratic wall that could be more effective than any concrete and metal one. While some actions have drawn widespread attention, others have been put in place more quietly.
The administration has moved to slash the number of refugees, accelerate deportations and terminate the provisional residency of more than a million people, among other measures. On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said nearly 60,000 Haitians allowed to stay in the United States after a devastating 2010 earthquake have until July 2019 to leave or obtain another form of legal status
Trump administration officials say they are simply upholding laws their predecessors did not and preserving American jobs. Previous Republican and Democratic administrations were too soft on enforcement, they say, and too rosy in their view of immigration as an unambiguously positive force.
“For decades, the American people have been begging and pleading with our elected officials for an immigration system that’s lawful and serves the national interest,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in Austin last month. “Now we have a president who supports that.”

Read Art of the Deal.......Keep the media looking at other things and do your deal ....if they do not like it....
The WP thinks it can grease the skids for a no border wall decision.
Man are they out to lunch.
Says who?
Libs will tell you what they really fear the most right at the start. This whole tome didn't need that cheap shot at the gitgo.
One can only hope... I am tired of America being the world’s punching bag and financial daddy.
Good, it is long overdue.
The government has been working against the citizens for over thirty years. Importing foreigners to change the country against the will of the citizens.
It is our country, we have a right to keep it.
“Trump’s tough talk alone appears to be one of the administration’s best bulwarks: Illegal crossings along the border with Mexico have plunged to their lowest level in 45 years, and U.S. agents are catching a far greater share of those attempting to sneak in. Applications for H-1B skilled visas and new foreign-student enrollment have also declined”
Imagine what President Trump could accomplish with a supportive GOP and fewer leftist judges.
Time to implant tracking chips in all the deported illegals so they can arrest them as they cross or approach the wall.
Would make round up so much easier.
They can keep track of how many times they were deported by the number of fingers left! That would take the incentives away. Trump is used to dealing with the NY Mafia... Hire them to protect the border.

And yet ALL OF THIS can be ended by Democrat-appointed judges.
Do YOU understand this Senator Cruz (who took a month AFTER the Republican Convention to figure out that Hillary was a bad person to have selecting judges)?
Do YOU understand this Mark Levin (who was practically Hillary’s VP candidate)?
Do YOU understand this every claimed-conservative who wants Roy Moore to lose next month?]
The Democrats claim Republicans are IDIOTS - they may well be right.
Third World filth out of our beautiful nation!
By any means necessary!
I’ll settle for a high voltage electric fence
This will save many tens of billions of dollars in tax funded costs and un-reimbursed costs to hospitals. The educational savings alone will be enormous.
I know it’s beating a dead horse, but remained convinced that the only simple and humane way to end the toilet-like back-flow is through the use of “land mines” OR garrison troops brought back from Europistan and stationed all along the border.
If you would build something you must first
construct it in your mind, then it kind of
builds itself.
Which is, after all, the real reason for open borders.
Not tired of winning, yet.
Turn them into Soylent Green and feed them to other captured invaders
