U.S. shuts border to stop migrant rush from Mexico

After an appeals court on Friday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, a stand off at the US Mexico border.

U.S. authorities said they closed the busy Ciudad Juarez-El Paso border bridge after more than a hundred mostly Cuban migrants tried to cross in response to the court ruling.

Put in place just a year ago, the program - known as the Migrant Protection Protocols or MPP - has already forced nearly 60,000 people to be sent back to Mexico as they wait for hearings in immigration courts.

There, they are vulnerable to kidnapping, rape, robbery and other crimes while living in sometimes unsanitary conditions.

But the Trump administration went to the courts to request a pause in the temporary block, which was was granted, putting the policy back into effect as the administration appeals to the Supreme Court.

The policy suspension and then quick reversal caused whiplash among those who had hoped to escape Mexico.

If it was not so hot on the border, they could have border patrol dress up in biosuits. Migrants would think twice if there is outbreak at the border.

How stupid it is that judges rule that we must be open to invasion, that we have no control who comes into our own country! It’s as if the judges never heard or understand the concept of sovereignty or the definition of nation-state.

Yep - that’s another reason why Trump is pushing back on those who want to allow them to come on in.
Those who sneak across undetected/unscreened are our biggest threat and he knows it.
I expect him to “get around” them by more vigorous closings of the border that he can do via EO as they try harder to stop him from stopping them.

Well, here’s a tougher immigration policy the globalists like WSJ won’t like. Let’s keep the border closed for a while longer this time.

This should be part of a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 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) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.

How do we know that these border crossers don’t have coronavirus? Maybe we could them all sneeze on the judge to make sure


We don’t.
First case reported in Mexico late last week.
If Mexico follows the pattern, there will be more.
