But keep in mind there have been many 'precedents' put in place which have made enforcing existing immigration laws increasingly difficult to enforce.
We need to force the system to 'follow the rule of law' and not 'precedent'.
It's going to take a lot of work to untangle the knot of legal and illegal immigration laws and 'precedents'.
Also, Trump deflects critics who say he's only targeting illegal aliens.
The fact is the whole system needs a good high colonic.
The Hill’s title is misleading. it should read “Trump makes sure legal immigrants follow the law”.
But of course that wouldn’t make Trump look bad. So let’s stick with a title implying Trump hates all immigrants, even legal ones.
The director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) – an office established in 2003 to process immigrant applications for visas, work permits, green cards and citizenship – told the Associated Press recently that the agency is hiring dozens of lawyers and immigration officers to review cases of immigrants who are suspected of having lied to officials during the naturalization process.
...
The title is misleading since, in fact, these may not be legal immigrants.
Of course, our definition of "legal immigrants" is a little sketchy.
Mark Steyn has commented on an area regarding chain migration that Trump’s people should look at. Apparently people will sponsor a ‘relative’ when in reality there is no relationship. Probably a pay-off somewhere or other. Maybe DNA testing is in order before accepting these folks.
Ending chain migration would be fine, too!
“The memos are really, layer by layer, going after people who are in line doing the right things,” Anastasia Tonello, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, saidConsider the source.
Fake news.
I wonder if someone saved a copy of the information on muslims that Obama made them delete.
That would be a good starting point.

How about he ramp up ICE to catch and immediately deport? How about he ramp up arrests of any and all who aid and abet illegals including priests, lawyers, employers, relatives, etc.?
try lying on your taxes and filing them, then see what happens when the IRS finds out...crap- they don’t even need to find out- they can just call you out to prove what you filed is legit..
No doubt the obama admin did just like city schools and just passed them along without any education or vetting.
Good analysis.
Where did the idea come from that there is some sort right to enter the United States, legally or not, and to stay as long as they want once here?
Trump ramps up scrutiny of legal immigrantsShouldn't that be "scrutiny of alleged" legal immigrants.
“So far, six individuals have been denaturalized, meaning ICE will decide whether to pursue deportation proceedings.”
I am amazed that there is any decision to be made by ICE here. Their citizenship has been revoked, just what else is necessary to remove them from the country. Do we just let them revert to being Green Card carriers and let them staty?
If they LIED on their applications, they are NOT “Legal” immigrants, they are illegal, fraudulent immigrants.
Remember Demjanjuk or Rinkel? Both deported after 40+ years in the US, having achieved “legal” immigrant status, but having lied about their pasts.
Yes, Yes, Yes!!! Denaturalization. This needs to be given all the resources necessary and then some. I would also start with Obama’s mass naturalization people.
[mark a noticeable shift in an agency that was previously focused on customer service.]
Yeah, “customer service”.
And get rid of dual citizenship. Perhaps there could be a “heritage citizenship’ of some sort, but the present system allows US citizens, down to several generations from the original immigrants, to vote here and in XYZland. Nonsense.
Arnold Schwarzenegger SWORE an Oath that he did NOT Work Illegally in the US when he applied for his Green Card, We all know that was a LIE, he WAS WORKING ILLEGALLY.
Revoke and Deport!!!
It would be great if that nut job that scaled and shut down the statue of liberty over the July 4th holiday fell into this bucket.
I think she was naturalized from either Nigeria or Cameroon.
