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

Posted on 11/09/2018 10:40:12 AM PST by little jeremiah

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.”

Your projecting again.

As for Sessions, he was no different than anyone else.

I chose Trump. He choseTrump.

Go ahead and read something sinister into it. Can’t stop you.

Pence has already said yes to running with Trump in 2020. Que mysterious music now..

Exactly. The issue was many were going to a port of entry, claiming asylum and then getting processed. However, large numbers were skipping all of that and just crossing illegally, and if they were caught they would yell ASYLUM. This is an important step to stop the claims of asylum that did not go through the entry at the border crossing with permission and being checked out. The worst are those that skip the process, most turn out to be criminals.

This all has to be worked on, but this was important.

If Sessions chose Trump, why did he work against him?

You can’t be this stupid.

I do not view his lack of indictments against clear criminals to be working against Trump. I view it to be working against the nation.

It doesn’t damage Trump. It does damage the nation.

Sessions supported Trump to become president. He selected him over Cruz. He did not appoint himself attorney general.

It was not evil for him to support Trump over Cruz.

You mentioned his support of Trump over Cruz as if it was some betrayal.

Nonsense.

There are a myriad of crimes on the table, and Sessions simply refused to address them.

Come on now at least he dropped charges against Lois Lerner and Bob Menendez. That is work.

A truly bizarre POV, considering the course of the last two years, from a bizarre poster.

Thank you. I’ve read your posts here for years, and at least part of the time, I welcome being described as bazaar in relation to your point of view.

You poor thing. You’re just eaten up over this.

Thanks for the spelling correction. One of the few times I use that word is in connection to you.

I think he should take it one step further and mandate that anyone caught here illegally should be deported and be disqualified from future legal entry.

It’s a hoot to watch you grinding away over this.

“Cry baby”?

I thanked you for the spelling correction and mentioned who I most used the word in conjunction with.

What about that reminds you of a cry-baby?

You’re the one rather upset.

Your every post is saturated witgh tears these days.

You assume all that you cannot comprehend is an attack of some sort, but can’t quite put it into intelligent words.

You’re like a deaf-dumb-blind infant strapped into a high chair alone in an otherwise empty room.

Poor thing. You’re eaten away with being confronted for the fool you seem proud to be.

Watch a movie and try to get over people recognizing your nonsense for what it is
