DHS releases new immigration rules
By Rafael Bernal - 02/21/17 10:49 AM EST

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday released details on how it will prosecute undocumented immigrants and criminal immigrants.

In two memos, Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly repealed all guidance given to immigration enforcement officers by the Obama administration, save for those relating to undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children.

Music to my ears.  Except that....  Obama deliberately allowed an influx of 'undocumented immigrant minors'.... which in turn, opened the door for their parents and family also to be allowed in, as well.  What about those thousands of immigrants?
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

DHS cancels Obama policies, orders agents to expand deportations
Washington Times, Feb 21, 2017, Stephen Dinan

Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly officially ordered federal agents this week to begin arresting and deporting more illegal immigrants, releasing them from the handcuffs the Obama administration had imposed, and making headway on one of President Trump’s chief campaign promises.

While young adult illegal immigrant “Dreamers” are still exempted, agents were told there are no longer any other special classes of people that should be considered off limits for deportation.

Those caught at the border are to be swiftly shipped back, Mr. Kelly said, and he freed agents to target a broader universe of illegal immigrants for deportation from within the interior of the U.S. The secretary said agents are still to give priority to those with criminal rap sheets, but are free to use discretion — taken away from them in the Obama years — to detain anyone they believe to be in the country illegally.

“It is not intended to produce mass roundups,” a Homeland Security official said, briefing reporters on two new memos Mr. Kelly signed Monday.

The memos set the groundwork for building a wall and call for hiring 5,000 more Border Patrol agents, 10,000 more Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and 500 more officers for the Air and Marine operations at Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Funding those priorities will depend on Congress.

Secretary Kelly also said local police who want to help enforce immigration laws will be welcomed, rather than rebuffed, as they were under the Obama administration.

Drafts of the memos had leaked in recent days, sparking feverish outcry from immigrant-rights groups who said they were a major step back in respecting illegal immigrants.

On Capitol Hill, Democrats vowed scrutiny and resistance.

Likewise, the official said they won’t immediately begin using a part of the memo that calls for shipping illegal immigrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border back into Mexico while they are awaiting their deportation cases. That will “happen in time,” the official said.

“This would say ok, if you want to make a claim for asylum or relief from removal or whatever that case may be, we’re going to hear your case, but you’re going to wait in Mexico,” the official said.

Officials said there is no numerical goal for total deportations, and pushed back against charges from immigrant-rights advocates that mass deportations are in the offing.

“We don’t need a sense of panic necessarily in our communities here,” one department official said, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity. “What we’re doing is we’re simply executing the laws passed by the United States Congress.”

Excellent news!

Where are all those in this forum who -- in the months preceding the election -- claimed that all of Trump's campaign promises regarding immigration would never be fulfilled?

Seems like they're pretty muted now...

I was one of those and couldn't be any happier to say I was wrong.

You are quite welcome on both counts.  Some member, sometimes many, of my family has fought in every action this country has ever participated in and I was not about to be the one that broke that line.

I am certain that is the case for my family too. The earliest date to the 1630s and spread out from Virginia to Maine (some of whom went to Canada, too).

Lately a few are heading to Texas. Wichita Falls, Blanco and Cypress, to be specific.

Much respect for a gentleman who is willing to "come around" a little.

You're the kind of guy I'd want as an advisor to the current administration.

If they were smart, they'd give you a call!
