The U.S. government is holding 80,000 migrants in custody, says Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary for the Department of Homeland Security.

“The situation is both a humanitarian and border security crisis that has become a national emergency,” McAleenan said in a telephone press conference on Thursday night.

“At any given moment, up to 100,000 migrants are transiting Mexico on their way to the U.S. border,” McAleenan said. “Over 75,000 families have already transited Mexico to the U.S. border this month alone [because they are] incentivized to come now by the smuggling organizations’ advertisements and the fact that families cannot be detained in custody during their immigration proceedings.”

Start shooting, we are being invaded.

[DannyTN]

We can use the tariff money from Mexico to keep them in detention indefinitely.

[Jeff Chandler]

Shut. The. Border.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Past tense. We’ve got 50-85 million invaders already here.

[Truthoverpower]

The tariffs just imposed at 5% a month going up will turn this around really quickly

go trump go

And all you idiots out there to say shoot innocent women and children and give the media fodder for not only impeaching Trump the jail and him are complete morons

One way to destroy an “economic” system is to overwhelm it——That’s what these progressives are doing.

You know?

This would be a great time for a war..!

Yes, with IRAN..!! Took the word right out of your mouth, right?

Wouldn’t that just hit the spot..?

Napalm would be a deterrent.

You know I appreciate that the situation is not good on our southern border. I also appreciate the fact that there are many many millions of illegal aliens in this country. But your number of 50 to 85 million has absolutely no basis in fact, unless you can show us where you getting what I believe is a truly absurd number.

And please don’t say to me or ask me if I can prove there aren’t 50-85 million because if you do we will know what side of the fence you’re on.

The list goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population)
7) demonstrate English proficiency to acquire citizenship and pass civics test.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to self-deport.

Also consider reciprocation of the laws of the countries of origin of the illegal aliens. For example, Mexico doesn’t allow land ownership or voting to immigrants, and doesn’t honor birthright citizenship like its citizens expect from the U.S. We should offer the same deal to them.

Hi.

Build the wall faster and shoot the invaders on sight.

Is that kinda harsh?

Sorry...

Mine the border then. Claymores and other anti-personnel as necessary.

Use the money to build the wall. We don’t owe illegal migrants room and board. They found their way to the border, they can find their way back.

[rdcbn]

The numbers are more like 30 - 45 million range. Recent research has confirmed at least 25 million

[DannyTN]

"Use the money to build the wall. We don’t owe illegal migrants room and board. They found their way to the border, they can find their way back."

That's a better plan. I think either takes appropriate from Congress. So that's a problem.

[carmen2017]

Sell them to the GD Muslims.

[Pearls Before Swine]

At what point can the President send down real troops and militarize the border? This is a political question. He has the authority, but it would be challenged all over the place and be distorted for the 2020 election.

[fieldmarshaldj]

This is the problem. We don’t know the exact figure, and those in power will go out of their way to lowball it. Some of those have cited just 10 million. I believe there are that many just in California.

I also include not just illegals (and “Dreamers”) but also millions of anchor babies who have no business being counted as citizens. My gut on this tells me there are at least 50 million, but could include far and above that. I believe it is very likely Mexico alone has dumped that 50 million figure on us (a concerted attempt by those in power, outrageously by the PAN “Conservative” party in order to remove large numbers of their underclass, including criminals). Our media and politicians will not tell us the truth, because they know what the public reaction would be if they knew 50 million+ were here and the costs to the taxpayers that they are.

[billyboy15]

You could be right. I suppose I just don’t want to believe how awful is the mess.

I get what you’re he libs are doing and why, but what infuriates me is the GOP seemingly sitting by and watching it happen without paying it lip service.

They all suck so f’n much I can’t begin to express the depth of my disgust.
