I’m so deflated and without any hope these bastards will be stopped from invading our country! Trump and the government have failed us! He said he was going to close the border.he didn’t, he said he was going to instruct our Ag to enforce his new immigration policy, it hasn’t happened, he said he was going to station MORE military on the border, he didn’t ..I am so disappointed and discouraged! Living on the border I’m seeing firsthand the thousands that are making their way into our soil and given by force every free government assistant there is! Our country will never be the same once they make roots here! The demonKKKrats and the invaders socialism will keep the rats in power until this country folds!! We are at the brink of our country becoming a third world nation..AND THERE AIN’T ONE EFFIN THING WE CAN DO!! Expect a mirror image of constant terrorist attacks from Isis that have crossed our border like in France and the U.K....WAIT FOR IT!!

Take heart, the Trump Administration is working hard - it is just tough to fix. Some things require Congress to act, and others require time - to either work through the courts, or just to physically get done (like building barrier).
One thing that is in place, is the so-called muslim ban, which took a while to overcome the legal challenges. But it is now in place, and helping protect us from a heavy inflow of islamist militants. Several other actions limit high risk immigrants as well - about a half dozen Executive Orders have changed a bunch of policies and procedures.
There are lots of little things that have been put in place, that add up. More immigration judges have been hired. For the first time in a long time, the backlog of immigration cases had finally stopped growing. More Military have been, and will be sent to reinforce Border Patrol. Workplace enforcement has increased. A broad series of legal challenges has been launched by the Administration, challenging things like sanctuary city/state policies at the local level.
There are a lot of big efforts working as well. A current Government-wide effort to remove benefits from illegals, is already starting to roll out changes, like the recent change in qualifying for public housing by HUD. More of these actions are expected to roll out through Summer, to address “welfare seeking”.
And of course, barrier building is a multi-year effort. When the Government appropriates money for construction, they use “five year” money (meaning they have five years to spend it), because that is how long such projects usually take to complete. This Administration is expediting the border barrier so much, that the 2017 money’s work is already completed. In 2019, they are working to contract four times as much money as 2017 and 2018 combined - hundreds of miles, where it is needed most - enough to start seriously impacting immigration flows.
With less fanfare, a big push in technology has been going on as well. Like barrier building, all the preparatory work done in the first two years is producing a much bigger rollout of capability this year and next.
The enemy gets a vote though, and their caravan program was effective for a while, in herding more people over the border. It looks like that is now starting to get choked off though, thanks to a broad series of efforts (pressuring other Governments, changing our policies, like “”Wait in Mexico”, and investigating the funding and organizers).
There is an effort underway to get “emergency” legislation through Congress, to allow unaccompanied children to be immediately deported to any country (currently only Canada and Mexico are allowed) and to undo the “Flores Agreement” that limits detention of families with children. They are working to have something in May.
The area where the first high profile caravan hit the border in San Diego, has already been permanently fortified with the new 18 foot bollard barrier, which that caravan could not defeat (they tried to storm around the new sections). A second run of 30 foot bollards is now being installed behind that first one, which will be done around Christmas, along with cameras, stadium lighting, high speed road and alarm systems. The doorway in San Diego will be firmly shut this year - it is already quieter.
It is a long term war, and the Trump Administration is fighting on every front. No Administration has cracked down on illegal immigration this hard, since Eisenhower.
Maybe he campaigned as a businessman but now he wants what every first term president wants: a second term.
One thing's for sure, prior to Trump we had 28 years of globalist, treasonous presidents who had almost three decades to reshape America's judiciary and legislative apparatus. They put liberals in every judge's seat they could.
And even prior to that, Reagan also stabbed us in the back with his immigrant amnesty.
