President Trump does not agree with you. Here’s a very recent quote:
We may go a different way. We may have to go a very tough way, Trump said in an interview with Fox & Friends Weekend that aired Saturday.
Call me silly, but I think it’s about time for the ‘very tough way’ to go into effect.
And I also call your attention to these statements of fact from Kris Kobach about things that can be done RIGHT NOW...BUT ARE NOT for some baffling reason.
Kobach explained:
Theres basically three steps. The first one is finalize a regulation that DHS proposed back in September. They could have finalized the regulation, made it go into effect in December, four months ago, but theyve been dragging their feet what the regulation would do is basically supersede the Flores Settlement. The Flores Settlement is that 20-year-old settlement that limits the amount of time that a minor can be detained and effectively limits the amount of time that a family can be detained together. Once this regulation is published, we can detain the whole family, keep them together, and that reduces the incentive to bring these minors north and using them as Get out of jail free cards. [Emphasis added]
The second [step] is because of the lack of traditional detention space, the Border Patrol is saying Well we have to let these people go. Now I have some disagreements with the terms on which theyre letting them go. Lets back up, we can create detention space. The federal government right now owns thousands, multiple thousands, of trailers and mobile homes that we use for hurricane disasters and theyre selling them at bargain prices right now we should be using those to create basically processing centers where people you put a fence around a park or a parking lot, you park a hundred of those trailers there and you can have people have their immigration hearings, have their asylum and credible fear hearing, have everything right there. Deploy dozens of immigration judges down to these centers. Dont let them go, have a fleet of commercial planes ready to fly them back to their home countries. [Emphasis added]
The third thing we could do is we absolutely have to put pressure on Mexico. But I dont think threatening to close the border is necessarily the best way to do it because Mexico knows that hurts us as well. What we should be doing is threatening to pass a Treasury [Department] regulation prohibiting illegal aliens from sending home remittances through Western Union and the like. Then tell Mexico, well finalize that regulation and well cut off $20 billion a year in capital unless you give us a safe third country agreement like we have with Canada. And what a safe third country agreement is, basically whenever an asylum seeker steps foot in one country or another, he doesnt have the ability to pass through that country and then claim asylum in the second country. With Mexico and the United States, people coming from Central America would have to claim asylum where they step first, thats Mexico, and not go all the way through Mexico to claim asylum in the United States. Demand that Mexico sign that agreement, its very simple, its working great with Canada and get them to throw in some [border] wall money as well. [Emphasis added]
Kobach said the three executive actions would deliver immediate results for the American people and the nations sovereignty.
If we did all those three things, wed solve the crisis, Kobach said. You would see a dramatic drop in the number of people coming north and youd see these caravans coming to an end.
I never would have spoken like this until recently but I’m sick of the inaction as we watch our country taken over. And if you look around here lately you will see that I am far from alone. He is losing his base and if we just shut up then we are going to actually lose this country.
