The Justice Department announced Friday that it is implementing a “zero-tolerance” policy for prosecuting those attempting to enter the U.S. illegally -- the latest in a series of measures by the Trump administration to combat illegal immigration.
“The situation at our Southwest Border is unacceptable,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement announcing the policy. “Congress has failed to pass effective legislation that serves the national interest -- that closes dangerous loopholes and fully funds a wall along our southern border. "
“As a result, a crisis has erupted at our Southwest Border that necessitates an escalated effort to prosecute those who choose to illegally cross our border,” he said.
The Trump administration says the number of attempted border crossings has increased by 203 percent since March 2017. In response, Trump this week signed a proclamation sending the National Guard to the border. He has said he would like to see 2,000-4,000 members sent to the border.
The latest move by the Justice Department orders U.S. attorneys along the border to adopt a policy of prosecuting all referrals from DHS of illegal entry and attempted illegal entry into the U.S. It comes almost a year after Sessions issued a memo to federal prosecutors directing them to prioritize certain immigration offenses.

I hope you are right! It is beyond outrageous what liberal kooks have done with “open borders” and the destruction of the right of this nation to defend its borders. It is beyond outrageous that aliens are openly planning an assault on our borders. It is beyond outrageous that our intent to defend our border is a contentious issue.
Seesh, you stalking me?
LOL!
I’ve been here 20 years, you’re the first!
We need camps RUN by Arpaio.
Catch and Release has officially
ended.
If only there are no courts to step in and stop it, nor any Obama losers or GOPe and RINOs to undermine it.
He woke up?
>>Perhaps “shoot to kill” might slow them down but it will NOT stop them.<<
You mean the ones killed will keep coming?
>>Can he do that? What if the attorneys won’t prosecute?<<
They can be relieved of their duties and replaced.
>>I want to see videos and images of tens of thousands of illegals in handcuffs, under armed military guard, being escorted back across the southern border.
And that’s just on Monday. I want to see the same thing repeated on Tuesday, and every day forward, until we’ve got a real handle on this menace.<<
Now your talking!
Ya never know......if they are serious about getting into the US, they might keep trying, even from the grave. One thing we can be sure of, they WILL vote once they get here, dead or not.
“On Friday, the President signed a Memorandum directing his Administration to promptly submit reports laying out what further steps are needed to strengthen immigration enforcement, secure our border, and end “catch and release,” the dangerous practice whereby aliens who have violated our Nation’s immigration laws are released into the United States shortly after their apprehension.”
“Within 45 days, the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, and Health and Human Services will submit a report outlining past and ongoing efforts to end “catch and release.” Another report will be submitted within 75 days detailing what additional resources or authorities are needed to finally and fully achieve this goal.”
“President Trump also directed his Administration to submit a report within 60 days laying out all measures currently being pursued to ensure removable aliens are returned to their home countries. “
