24 Hours After Replacing Sessions, Whitaker Ends Asylum for Illegals at Southern Border
The Western Journal Conservative Tribune ^ | NOVEMBER 9, 2018 AT 8:33AM | CILLIAN ZEAL

Matthew Whitaker’s tenure as acting attorney general may only be able to be measured in hours, but he’s already made a huge impact in how asylum-seekers are processed at the southern border.

According to a new interim final rule from the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, those who enter the country illegally and are captured will no longer be able to claim asylum and will instead be returned to their country of origin on an expedited basis.

“Consistent with our immigration laws, the President has the broad authority to suspend or restrict the entry of aliens into the United States if he determines it to be in the national interest to do so,” Whitaker said in a joint statement with DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

“Today’s rule applies this important principle to aliens who violate such a suspension or restriction regarding the southern border imposed by the President by invoking an express authority provided by Congress to restrict eligibility for asylum.

“Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it. Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a Presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility.”

“He fooled a lot of us.!”

The old DOJ/FBI and CIA has a lot of stuff to blackmail most Americans, and they would use it and more to protect their deep state buddies.

In one day our new AG is shredding the neighsayers re illegal immigration and so called sanctuary seekers.

He even has them marching in the streets against him re Herr Mueller’s bs.

‘He changed once Comey showed him his FBI file and said,”it would be a shame if some of this leaked.”

PS. we still have WON for now and should take full unapologetic advantage of it as long as possible.

No quarter should be given as we advance to outright and probably inevitable warfare.

This has been in the works for some time. Many write ups on it.

Looks like it was signed by Sessions. So much for the anti-Sessions crowd.

Sessions protected the deep state. He enabled the mueller coup against Trump. He was the insurance policy.

The damage that rat bastard did to the Trump admin and by extension the country was catastrophic.

Exactly. Trump has mentioned this several times not long ago.

Stop peretending to be retarded.

If you wish to ignore the foundational stuff, that is your problem. It was obvious in the primary season that Sessions and Pence pulled shady tricks, and Trump should not have been so willing to play their game; he didn’t need them.

Finally, I didn’t say anything to disparage Trump. I said that he is finally getting good help from good people.

You can really be a piece of work when you want to be.

Correct! - Its obvious that his mind has been in the right groove all along, but who knew?

Obviously this was all ready to roll before Sessions left.

So why did we have to wait for a new AG to roll it out?

The Supreme Court ruled back in June of this year that, consistent with our laws and the Constitution, the President has near complete authority over ALL matters of immigration.

Sessions could have implemented these new rules at any time since then, but he didn't. Is it any wonder that the President called for his resignation?

As a Reminder, the President is the executive, not you

He made and is implementing the strategy

That’s why

The headline is correct. Asylum will
not be granted to illegal alien invaders.
When they cross the border illegally
asylum will not be granted, which ends
“catch and release”.

...the anti-Sessions crowd.

Who could be more anti-Sessions than the man who demanded his resignation?

We just talk. Trump kicked his worthless carcass out the door .

Apparently so, and he's doing it without ol' foot dragging Sessions in the way.

None of us get it right all the time. I think I got Trump spot on, but Sessions still baffles me.

Thanks for the note. I think Trump has joined us in our thoughts on Sessions.
