DHS on track to nab 100,000 illegals at border this month
The Washington Times ^ | March 18, 2019 | Stephen Dinan

The government is on track to catch nearly 100,000 illegal immigrants at the border this month, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Monday, renewing the administration’s plea for Congress to do something.

That number would be the worst in more than a decade, and it’s more troubling than the worst years because the migrants are children and families who despite being unauthorized, are almost impossible to deport.

“The situation at our Southern Border has gone from a crisis, to a national emergency, to a near systemwide meltdown,” Ms. Nielsen said in delivering an update on the state of her department 16 years after it was established.

Ms. Nielsen said the border wall is part of the solution, but also said Congress must change the laws to allow for detention and faster deportations of illegal immigrant children and families.

According to the latest numbers, 98 percent of those caught at the border in 2017 is still in the U.S. today, underscoring how difficult it is to remove them in the current framework.

If you would stop “nabbing” them, they wouldn’t become wards of the U.S. taxpayers. Let them wander around with no welfare benefits. They’ll go home.

So why doesn’t our commander in chief have the military lining our border, stopping the invading army?

Once they "nab" them, they are here forever. I really don't care about how many they "nab".

The question is, how many are they shipping back the other way each month? How many are being expelled and deported? Never hear numbers on that.

How many more of these fake “refugees” can the taxpayers afford? I know the ‘RATS are trying to build a one party “government” but this is getting ridiculous. The taxpayers can’t continue supporting their voter base.

They release them into the interior.

It seems the President of the United States has no authority over national security. Let that sink in...

So.. more than 1 million year. And that’s just the ones who are caught. And of those, most will be let go and get lost in the shuffle. How about the ones that make it across without getting caught?

The truth is our government has no idea how many illegals are invading our country.

And if we question this they call us racist and deplorable.

Despite the trillions paid in taxes by law abiding American citizens and legal immigrants who played by the rules, our government mocks us and puts foreign invaders first.

“Ms. Nielsen said the border wall is part of the solution, but also said Congress must change the laws to allow for detention and faster deportations of illegal immigrant children and families. “

Why does this #dumbb!tch keep saying the laws need to be changed? POTUS has total authority to shutdown the farking border and refuse anyone entry. Why does she keep referring to this invasion as our ‘immigration system’?

We maybe getting that many in as little as 3 months.

A conservative estimate is 3-4 are making it through for everyone that is caught. 300,000-400,000 a month. Let that sink in.

We have a 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state and they’re REFUSING TO PROTECT THE STATES FROM INVASION!!!!

I believe she’s right. If congress changed the asylum laws that are full of loopholes the commie judges would be out of the picture.

that just means they caught and then released 100,000 illegals into the US.

Heck, it would of been better not to catch them and give them a free ride across the desert!
*sigh*

She’s not right. The President of the United States has plenary authority over national security under the Constitution.

He could order these invading foreign nationals shot on sight.

PDJT is either under the gun of the corrupt state or he wants this invasion to continue.

EXACTLY why the wave of Caravans continue to come. They already know this is what to expect.
