Yes, and the 1965 immigration act that dramatically altered America’s traditional immigration sources has to go. Otherwise nothing will change, the engine that drives America ever farther leftward will keep chugging on.
We need to have an immigration moratorium. And go back to the immigration law that we once had.
This elected official isn’t a politician. We need to elect more of these.
Chain immigration brings in an exponential number of relatives for every illegal that you “regularize”.
You don’t just get the one that you feel sorry for and allow to stay here. You get a dozen more. Soon you find that you are a tiny minority in what once was your home town. This is the lesson of SoCal courtesy of Reagan’s misguided 1986 amnesty.
I agree Pelham....we need to end family reunification & chain immigration. The 65 act needs to be gutted.
An excellent EO extremely comprehensive.
Next I would like to see another one worded almost exactly the same referring to cities and states who refuse to exclude illegal aliens form all welfare with a link to subsidizes federal tax dollars.
Watch how fast they clean up the entitlement roles if their federal dollars are on the line.
Wow someone else who gets it. Much easier ways of stopping illegals than a wall. Most of the laws are already on the books. He should have given a speech that said.......regardless of what country you came from, whether you came in on a visa and overstayed or across the border, you have 30 days to get your affairs in order and leave. If you don’t you’ll be deported one by one since I’ve given DHS, ICE and the Border Patrol orders to enforce the laws. The anchor baby ruling is also being reviewed. There’ll be no sanctuary in the U.S. anymore. I’ve asked Congress to pass and fund a visa entry/exit system. We will know exactly who belongs here and who is here. We will return to being a sovereign nation.
Something like that and I’d be happier. They need put on notice. This piecemeal crap doesn’t get it anymore.
Thank God for President Trump!!! :)
President Trump’s EOs are FAR more reaching than the enemedia are letting on, I suspect because the breadth and
depth and amount of detail are way beyond the ability of the average hack enemedia reporter to comprehend, digest and negatively spin into attacks on President Trump.
As a consequence, they pretty much condense the EOs down to a sentence or two of the parts they can understand and attack President Trump with broad brush strokes. Liberal heads would exploding with FAR more megatonnage if they had a clue as to exactly how far-reaching these actions are.
BTW, the link to the full list of Presidential EOs and their texts is:

Actually, what needs to be done is for those very same citizens to vote the non-agreeable turds out of office.
Rewarding criminal behavior encourages more criminal behavior. People cannot begin their careers in America by breaking the law. Further, it hurts minimum wage American workers by causing them to compete with millions of foreign workers. I am dismayed at those in Congress who lack the understanding of this critical issue to our nation.
I like most Americans are in favor of legal immigration for those who are willing to learn our language, culture, and invest the time and money required to become a U.S. citizen - but not for those who willfully break on our laws, spit on our country, demand benefits, and are not willing to go through proper channels to become an American citizen.
What is the solution? It won’t be easy because we didn’t get into this situation overnight. I believe we need to do the following immediately:
1) Secure our borders
2) Enforce existing law
3) Not allow any amnesty provisions of any kind
4) Improve our visa system
5) Prosecute and fine those businesses which knowingly employ illegal workers
6) Give law enforcement officials the necessary resources and authority to combat illegal immigration
7) Deport illegal aliens violating the law after being fingerprinted, photographed, iris scanned, charged with a felony, and their information placed in a national database.
8) Send a bill for deportation/prison costs to the embassy of the illegal immigrant’s national origin.
9) 2nd time and thereafter repeat offenses by illegal aliens should be sent to work prison camps for a maximum of 6 months - building the southern fence/wall.
10) Seize and liquidate all assets from illegal aliens and use the proceeds for our military and local law enforcement.
11) Must not give illegal immigrants government welfare benefits of any kind, including Social Security
12) Designate English as our national language
13) Change the 14th Amendment regarding birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants
14) Mandatory proof of citizenship for voting
15) Mandatory proof of legal status for DL or ANY government issued ID or benefits card
16) Put pressure on the Mexican government and other nations to reduce illegal immigration to America.
17) Encourage only legal immigration and citizenship to for those wanting to become Americans.
These ENFORCED changes would strengthen America greatly.
"This happened exactly 5 years ago today. Now, I can finally say THANK YOU President @realDonaldTrump for taking action to secure our border!"
One of many articles about the 2012 confrontation: http://www.politico.com/blogs/politico44/2012/01/jan-brewer-obama-didnt-feel-i-treated-him-cordially-112328
Unfortunately, the Mayor of Knoxville, TN is a lefty...a member of Cities for Action...a former organizer for Cesar Chavez, & she has made Knoxville a “Sanctuary” City. Am hoping the Feds pull the money rug out from under her.
I had hoped so, but wasn’t very optimistic. Now that it’s happening, I’m just floored. It was worth all the work.
> DACA has to be stopped.
> USCIS is still processing new applications.
> 750,000 have already been given work permits and permission to stay under this illegal Obama edict.
Absolutely!
“Liberal heads would exploding with FAR more megatonnage if they had a clue as to exactly how far-reaching these actions are.”
Can you give an example? (I’m too crunched for time to read your link.) Spasiba!
Lol. That would be why I used "elected official". I had started to type politician, but then I thought, "No, that's not right..."
“Actually, what needs to be done is for those very same citizens to vote the non-agreeable turds out of office.”
Right. I take it that you don’t live in California. That’s nothing but a pipe dream.
Start using asset forfeiture on illegals and they will deport themselves in order to leave with whatever property they have managed to accumulate.
There’s a lot of tools that can be used, what has been missing BT (before Trump) is a President who takes his oath of office seriously, who intends to enforce the law, and who puts the interests of American citizens ahead of foreign nationals who decide to violate our border laws.
I lived there for eight years... then back to Texas. :-)
You’re lucky except maybe for the weather.
California is occupied country.
We keep hoping for Free America to invade and drive out our oppressors.
