Congratulations to President Trump for pushing the prosecution needle in the right direction.

Unfortunately, the Department of Homeland Security has recently developed a bad pre-election year habit of withholding material facts.

In Fiscal 2019, about 900,000 persons were detained on the southwest border. About 700,000 of them will eventually get “Catch and Release.”

“Catch and Release” just means you get a court date and promise to show up. How many of them are still in the USA? No one really knows.

More prosecutions are great, but DHS forgot to mention that more than 1 million illegal residents have already received a “Final Order of Removal” - but they still live in the USA, and they have almost no risk of being deported, unless they commit other felonies.

DHS also forgot to mention that half the illegals in the USA arrived here legally - they just over stay their visas.

DHS also forgot to mention that more than 100,000 illegals manage to cross the southwest border each year without being arrested.

Bottom Line - the only solution to massive illegal immigration is to implement and vigorously enforce Universal E-Verify.

No jobs?

No illegals.

Unfortunately, there is no reason to believe that Trump will ever do that.

Articles re the ending of “Catch and Release” are plentiful and relate to two actions by President Trump to end the program. This one is from APril 2019.
