Trump Starts Immigration Crackdown, Enlisting the Military and Testing the Law

The president’s Day 1 actions included directives that fly in the face of legal limits on involving the military in domestic operations and the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship.

President Trump’s flurry of executive actions on immigration in the hours after taking office was the leading edge of an effort to roll back four years of policies put in place by the Biden administration and reimpose an agenda that would fundamentally upend the United States’ global role as a sanctuary for refugees and immigrants.

In a series of orders he signed on Monday evening, Mr. Trump moved to seal the nation’s borders against migrants and systematically crack down on undocumented immigrants already in the United States, part of a policy barrage that included a national emergency declaration to deploy the military to the border and a bid to cut off birthright citizenship for the children of noncitizens.

While some of the orders were likely to face steep legal challenges and might be difficult or impossible to enforce, the directives sent an unmistakable message that Mr. Trump was serious about fulfilling his frequent campaign promises of clamping down on the border, and escalating an anti-immigration agenda that he has made the centerpiece of his political identity.

“With these actions we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense,” Mr. Trump said from the Capitol Rotunda after taking his oath of office. “All illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.”

The kids are also citizens of the country that the parents came from. Send them all back home. When the person born here gets old enough, then they can decide their own citizenship.

There is no “law” to test. These were corrupt policies of Pedo Joe to expand the Commie RAT Demockrazy’s voter base. Damn DemonRATS have got to go. The are the biggest threat to America.

This is enough to justify some military involvement in stopping the Invasion.

One fast easy way to get the illegals to deport is to cut off all government welfare, medical help and all other bennies.
Large fines for anyone giving illegals help inc the Catholic church.

He will likely be authorizing the governors of the respective border states to deploy their National Guard members. Nothing illegal about that.

Yep.

And 20,000 rounds of 7.62x39 ammo. (looked like brass case version, judging from the PMC label)

I don’t think the current SC, even with the likes of Sotomayor and the newer one with the strange name, will uphold the current lunacy of letting foreign women plan a vacation to the U.S. just to drop a baby while here and then claim citizenship for the child.

Kudos, Pres. Trump for being willing to push the issue because the Left was already pushing the other way.

Nope, parents can never enter the USA ever again. Child may visit on a 30 visa as a tourist.
