Kids in America

A nation built on immigration does not want any more immigrants. White man rules OK.

Oh dear, so typical of lefties, a serious and complex problem reduced to a childish slogan, but that's what TDS does to them. Illegal immigration is a long standing problem in the USA, and it was taken very seriously by the Obama administration, as the facts below show. But a TDS afflicted lefty will never let the facts stand in the way of having a whinge about the Donald.

2010, US Border Agency reported an estimated half a million illegal entries into the USA every year.

The situation was so serious that Obama signed an order allocating an extra 600 million dollars to improve security.

2012, US Border Patrol made 364,000 arrests. There was over 1000km of high security fencing, they employed 21,000 Border Patrol agents, used 10,000 SUVs/Pick-Up trucks and 120 Patrol Boats.

All under Obama, no expense or effort spared to keep illegal immigrants out of the USA, including fences, but don't tell lefties, they don't want to know.

If the US would simply allow free movement of people until they get sorted, the problem would simply evaporate.

Once safe and sorted the calls to return home is too strong to resist.

It's time we did away with boundaries and allowed freedom of movement.

How can anyone know how many people are in a country if there is no record of them arriving? Always flummoxes me does that one.

can't blame folk wanting to move if they're just looking for a better life for themselves/family - much like ancient man shifting to a warmer climate....makes the going easier.
I think the problems at root - so stop the restriction, by helping it grow....makes seeking a change less attractive.

Emotion vs Facts. BBC has never had such problems; why let facts spoil a good story. The kids in cages dates from 2014 Obama era; oh this is so tiring. How many people is enough people? For leftists it seems not until the whole world is in the West from the third World will there be enough migration. Then the welfare State and open borders will finish off the freedoms and virtue the West has achieved. Until that occurs the likes of Soros etc will not be satisfied and this will continue relentlessly whether Trump is in power or not. Make YOUR choice and take the consequences.

Read a piece this morning that the US currently have 30,000 people (age range 1 - 100) incarcerated, simply for seeking undocumented entry into the US.
The Italians are at it, we do it, whatever happened to offering safe haven and sanctuary and how on earth is seeking sanctuary a criminal offence?
Incidentally Deadlydave, it was Reagan who first inspired the US to imprison Haitian refugees and successive US governments have simply continued to incarcerate ever increasing numbers of "aliens".
Might be unjust but it is still a better practice than simply allowing people to drown unaided in the Mediterranean.
Whatever has happened to us and our Christian values?

Shame is that Norder because it is a good article. I can't open the link now either!

My father-in-law was in "happy state meltdown" after the 6-1 England victory, but over dinner he asked whatever happened to the moral standards of the US and mentioned some inscription for arriving immigrants on the Statue of Liberty. I looked it up:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Trump has wrecked that ideology, the welcome mat is in the bin, he now wants to export more US manufactured guns, perhaps he hopes the undesirables will all just kill themselves?

Nothing has changed regarding the US policy on illegal immigration. See Post 43 for details of the efforts Obama made to keep out the undesirables.
