Much like other immigration reforms President Donald Trump has attempted to enact since entering office, this new policy is due to receive court challenges.

“Pushing asylum-seekers back into Mexico is absolutely illegal under U.S. immigration law,” senior director at Human Rights First, Eleanor Acer, told reporters Friday, according to the Daily Beast. “This scheme will increase, rather than decrease, the humanitarian debacle at the border.”

But entering the United States illegally isn't illegal? Have I got that right?

Trump’s policy is NO INVASION which is what illegal immigration and immigration of our enemies is.

Its not a 'Remain in Mexico' policy.

Its a 'Stay the F out of America policy'.

The left ALWAYS changes the focus off the truth by using lying labels and the Right so often stupidly parrots those lying labels.

Since intent is such an important factor in modern justice these days, I’d ask what the intent is here.

Because we all know that once the illegals enter the country, they disappear and are never processed. Sure, there are promises but there are never any consequences. Just ask the 22 million illegals already here. So, once they get a foot in the door, it is a free ride all the way.

So the intent is to get them across the border with the knowledge that they will never be prosecuted for breaking our immigration laws.

They would bus them in if they could. The poor and huddled masses came over on ships. The wall was the vast oceans. They were screened at immigrant processing centers. No one was allowed citizenship through naturalization unless they fulfilled the requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act passed by Congress.

The Left wants to turn America into a lawless jungle so they can justify their own tyranny.

“Pushing asylum-seekers back into Mexico is absolutely illegal under U.S. immigration law,”

We often hear that asylum seekers must seek asylum in the first safe country they enter. According to that, all those from Central America should remain in Mexico, or some safe nation further south.

That is stated often with no clarification as to what is US immigration law, international law, or some UN resolution.

IMPEACH PELOSI FOR OBSTRUCTING THE SECURITY OF THE USA, FOR MAKING IT EASY ON THE DRUG CARTELS, THE RAPE OF MIGRANT WOMEN OF ALL AGES....As House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi has a sworn duty to protect America and America's Constitution. Failure or effort to thwart security of the USA makes IMPEACHMENT of Nancy Pelosi by the House a duty...this is NOT political gamesmanship, it is the duty to impeach anyone who is trying to stop border enforcement for political reasons.

Yup. But he missed, calling "Travel Ban" what it really is, "Invasion Ban."

The Lying Left.

Trump needs to say loud and clear: "The policy is NO INVASION" and quote Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution, "The United States shall shall protect [every State in this Union] against Invasion."

And keep saying it, over and over again...

Mexico is the proper place for them to seek asylum, from Mexico.
Mexico let them in, they are Mexico’s problem.

CNN's Jim Acosta might have a problem with that one.

With DHS shut down, why hasn’t the border been closed to ALL northbound traffic, legal and otherwise?

So if an army marches in from Mexico, America has to keep the invaders, feed them, clothe them, arm them and then send them on their way up North to kill all the white people and then create their brown communist utopia, Aztlan.

Wouldn’t they have to file this in a Mexican court?

Until they enter the US, our courts have no venue!

IMPEACH PELOSI

I do not believe members of the House or Senate can be impeached—only voted out by their constituents. Do you think SF voters are up for that? They can be expelled by their respective houses. Do you think the House is up for that?

But they’re in Mexico.

Mexico is not subject to our courts’ rulings (lucky them).
