We have redeployed 750 agents at the Southern Border’s specific Ports of Entry in order to help with the large scale surge of illegal migrants trying to make their way into the United States. This will cause traffic & commercial delays until such time as Mexico is able to use it’s powerful common sense Immigration Laws to stop illegals from coming through Mexico into the U.S., and removing them back to their country of origin. Until Mexico cleans up this ridiculous & massive migration, we will be focusing on Border Security, not Ports of Entry. In the meantime, the Democrats in Congress must help the Republicans (we need their votes) to end the horrible, costly and foolish loopholes in our Immigration Laws. Once that happens, all will be smooth. We can NEVER allow Open Borders!
Excellent.
Trump is not giving up.
He is continuing to fight to secure the border and stop the invasion.
Go, Trump, MAGA!
This is a slowdown that will back up traffic for days on end. Sometimes a slowdown is an effective closure.
Where are all the pearl clutchers and teeth gnashers from a couple days ago who said the President had quit??? Where are y’all????
Cluster blank.
He had an excellent round table discussion while he was there.
Everyone thanked him profusely.
Border Patrol Inland Checkpoints Shut Down So Agents Can Help
Process Asylum Seekers ^
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3737075/posts
That was the intent from a few days ago when he shut down many
of the inland check points and sent the agents to the border..
Here is a great message from a FReeper who lives near the border, Tammy8:
Yes, Trump policies had my area of the border really quiet, from the beginning of his term...until the Central Americans began to come in October, for a bit there was just a few of them, small groups...and funny thing is they began to show up before the media ever reported the first caravan. So numbers were not big and this part of the border was still under control. Then when courts began to rule against his immigration policies more and more came from Central America. Congress was also fighting him on the wall, and his policies and that didn’t help. Then large groups were being dumped and while Border Patrol was busy with them smugglers were coming through with people who were evading BP, not asylum seekers at all...human trafficking and drug smuggling. Then it got really out of control.
So my answer is Trump policies were working until he had to change them. And until the cartels realized he had little support in Congress or courts to be tough or build a wall. The flood increased with each decision...and not getting the money from Congress for the wall. Believe me when I say the illegals know our laws better than we do...special interest groups make sure they know what to say and not say...
The worst thing that happened was the Supreme Court ruling in December that people could ask for asylum any time anywhere as long as they were on our soil, and even if they came here illegally. Trump’s policy before that ruling was if people came here illegally they were not eligible to even apply for asylum.

The other thing that made things even worse is the rulings in these:

The wall is heading my way...contracts being bid right now, money is there. I know someone involved in that so hear more than reported but that is happening real soon. We had illegals at our house a few nights ago...NOT asylum seekers...and the response by BP and LEO was far beyond any I have seen living here for decades. Trump has gone above and beyond to do everything he can with his policies, and having to fight every step of the way, even our governor is fighting against him securing the border and enforcing our laws. I have lived on the border since 1970 and we have never had a President that understood the issues better, or fought harder. Anyone that says otherwise needs to really educate themselves about what is going on.
Dear President Trump,
Have you considered workplace raids and audits for every IA & fake asylum seeker to make it across???
Please hurry up and play with internal knobs from the inside while we await the wall, a SCOTUS retirement and a reformed ninth circuit.
Love from Texas
Excellent!
This sounds like a stealth closure-custom designed to create chaos with trucking and other business, creating a total fustercluck for Mexico and importers of their stuff-days-long traffic snarls and lines, rotted avocados and other produce, etc-and congress can scream all they want-it isn’t a border closure-just a simple redeployment of some personnel to address a humanitarian crisis......
“Where are all the pearl clutchers and teeth gnashers from a couple days ago who said the President had quit??? Where are y’all????“
They’re watching network news
Politician, they say good things and do bad to us.
Trump is the opposite, he says distraction, and does good.
Will a Republican ever learn his style?
Not if he/she is a politician....
They are all the same, it seems...They smile and say what they think you want to hear...
“This is a slowdown that will back up traffic for days on end. Sometimes a slowdown is an effective closure.”
not to mention that it makes a lawsuit almost impossible to win, because the remedy would be for the judiciary to start ordering the executive branch about how to deploy specific resources, essentially completely subsuming the executive function ...
He will talk this issue during his re-election next year but the permanent fix is beyond his grasp and will be as long as the RINO’s that he supports are in Congress.
Trump will blame the Democrats but the RINO’s are there too and they really want borders opened up for the cheap labor to flow in.
“Have you considered workplace raids and audits for every IA & fake asylum seeker to make it across???”
E-verify and punishment for employers will do wonders. I have no idea why it wasn’t done on day 1.
It was all that gnashing and clutching, I am quite certain, that has prompted Trump to follow through with this approach.
Ah...I see......
Didn’t he propose cuts in e-verify in his latest budget?
