Mr. President: Time to Pull Out All the Stops on the Border
We need another emergency declaration
 
By Andrew R. Arthur on April 2, 2019

On March 28, 2019, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen sent a letter to Congress with an "urgent request" for assistance in stemming what she described as a tide of migrants overwhelming the border, and stating that the department is facing a "system-wide meltdown".

According to that letter, there are 1,200 unaccompanied alien children (UACs) in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody, in addition to 6,600 families, bringing the total of children in CBP custody to "approximately 4,700". While she admits that the detention of those UACs is "an unacceptable length of stay in facilities not designed to hold children for extended periods," there is nowhere else for them to go: The systems within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to care for those children in residential shelters are reaching "peak capacity". The border and immigration facilities at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) "are at (or over) capacity with serious over-crowding" as thousands of migrants rush toward the United States.

Trump has proven again and again that he cannot measure either character or temperament.
Illegal immigration has been on the boil for at least a decade, so who does he appoint to DHS?
Why the pious and sanctimonious Goober Nielsen w/the mind set of a day care flunky.
For these types, it's all about the chillun but nothing about sovereign right!
Then this jurno boob insists that another "declaration" will do the trick and put the fear of
the Almighty in this trash. Why of course it will. Words always trump actions doncha know???

The troops that were sent to the border some time ago should never have been removed.

They should have been reinforced with MORE troops.

Send them back, ASAP !

   Is it my TDS or is it safe to assume that after two years into Trump's first term this problem is not gonna be solved but instead MILKED DRY as more campaign BS for 2020, along with GOP Healthcare? 
   For a non politician he's pretty good.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.
