NEW: President Trump has turned the immigration courts into part of his vast deportation machine by pressuring judges to deny people asylum and firing those who do not comply. The asylum rate has fallen to its lowest rate in decades.

‘vast deportation machine’ - that’s long, long overdue!

I’m happy with every part of this statement!

Good. The president gets to appoint the immigration court judges and the vast vast majority of asylum claims in the US are bogus so..............

Helpful suggestion for consideration by President Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin...

Any alien caught voting, registering to vote, and/or assisting in voter fraud is IMMEDIATELY a guest of Alligator Alcatraz and then quickly deported.

(This might make a great commercial, btw)

The INS judges are administrative law judges, not district court judges. They have the laws and regs of the immigration system to rule upon. As such, they are administrative judges working for the executive, not the third branch of government. For example, when declaring yourself a target of political repression, the ruling before was you go to the nearest country where you are not prosecuted...you did not get to decide gee, I am here in the Congo and I want to go to NY.

We took in almost 1 million H1B visa holders in the last year. Each one took an Americans job. Did you know that 1000 of them work for the Baltimore City School System? They are not teaching the kids. There are only 7000 employed by that school system. There are dozens of crazy examples like that.
