Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly has signed sweeping new guidelines that empower federal authorities to more aggressively detain and deport illegal immigrants inside the United States and at the border.

The new directives would supersede nearly all of those issued under previous administrations, Kelly said, including measures from President Barack Obama aimed at focusing deportations exclusively on hardened criminals and those with terrorist ties.

A program to assess the size of this swamp would seem to be warranted.

A system to get Visa overstayers within an week or so would be advantageous.

And our new "Sheriff" in Phoenix has announced he will not detain illegals for ICE to deport. Released immediately. GEorge Soros got his butt-boy installed here in Arizona, so with his matching Senators, he has the set.

We were so close to returning Arizona to the USA. I actually know Republicans who voted for Penzone because they bought the lie that Arpaio was corrupt. I was like, "Are you people freaking high???!" This was the one chance we had to take back the county and they blew it.

So we need memos to tell others how to enforce the laws? Easy to forget a lot of things after eight years.

“A broken clock is right twice a day”

Presuming it’s stopped, and not jumping around like the last dodo.

The first step is formally revoking all of Obama's memos telling others not to enforce the laws.

Arizona didn’t elect McCain. Mexifornia did. And all the retired schoolteachers from Minnesota and Seattle.
