From memory, there is currently a backlog of 750,000 illegal border crossing court cases waiting to be litigated. Almost all of those cases are Catch and Release.
We already have at least 100,000 border jumpers in custody - most of them convicted criminals, gang members, drug mules, etc.
Where, exactly, are we going to detain hundreds of thousands of new border jumpers? Except for a preliminary hearing, their court cases won't even come up for another year!
Do you pay attention to the legal work visa issue at all?
Trump has issued more “high skill” H1B and OPT work visas than Obama did. I put “high skill” in quotes because 99% of those foreign workers are completely average engineers and scientists who directly compete against completely average USA citizens.
Do you pay attention to the DACA issue? A total scam!
Trump has spent the last two years trying to declare DACA unconstitutional.
Why?
The “D” in DACA stands for “Deferred Prosecution.” The DACA kids are unlawfully present in the USA. All Trump has to do is enforce the law as it is clearly written in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. No court can stop him.
Sorry - I stand by my original assessment. Trump is a pathological liar on the immigration issue.
