Trump: Only Workable Immigration Solution Is To ‘Detain, Prosecute, and Promptly Remove’ Anyone Who Crosses Border
Breitbart, Jun 23, 2018, Ian Hanchett

During Saturday’s Weekly Address, President Trump discussed immigration and said that the “crisis of illegal immigration” can only be solved by Congress “and the only solution that will work is being able to detain, prosecute, and promptly remove anyone who illegally crosses the border.”
 
Transcript as Follows:

“Our country is currently facing a crisis of illegal immigration on our southern border. Democrat-supported loopholes in our federal laws have enabled roughly half-a-million illegal immigrant family members and minors from Central America to be released into the United States since 2014, at unbelievably tremendous taxpayer expense.

While illegal aliens can only be held for a period of days or weeks, it can take years to move their cases through the legal system to actually try to send them back to their home countries. It is a ridiculous process. For example, of the removal orders issued for unaccompanied alien children over a recent two-year period, 90% were done in absentia, that means they weren’t there and they never showed up for their removal hearing. What else is new?

The United States cannot have an open border to every illegal alien family and minor on the face of the earth. We must have rules. We must have laws. And we must enforce those laws. The driving factor in the surge of illegal families and minors is the belief that there will be no consequence for illegal entry and no likelihood of removal or reprisal.

Unfortunately, open border Democrats support the loopholes that prevent families from being detained and removed together. They just want everyone to be released into our country, no matter how dangerous they are. They can be killers. They can be thieves. They can be horrible people. The Democrats say it’s okay for them to be in our country. I don’t think so.

Congress and Congress alone can solve the problem, and the only solution that will work is being able to detain, prosecute, and promptly remove anyone who illegally crosses the border. Remember this, we need Democrat votes. Without the Democrats constantly obstructing, there’s no way you can do it. Without having Democrats voting, there is no way you can get this done. So, the Democrats are obstructing. The Democrats don’t want border security. The Democrats are okay with crime, but we’re not okay with it. We need Democrat votes. Without it, frankly, nothing can be done.”

Build the darn wall as promised Mr. President.  NO entry.  No detaining and drop them back over the border.

Once again, and I know many do not agree with me but the wall needs to be built and heavily armed and those crossing over will be considered an enemy of the United States and fired upon. 

ILLEGALS inside the U.S. should NEVER be granted citizenship and if caught should be returned to the country from which they came.  They are NOT citizens and are NOT entitled to a trial -- send them packing back over the border.

I agree @libertybele   We need to build the wall.  The President agrees, too.  What I hear in this address is his deep frustration that nothing can be done about this without Democrat votes.  And not only don't we have any of those, we also don't have all of the Republicans'.

The big red wave is more than a slogan .. it's a necessity.

[Fishrrman]

Build the wall so they can't "get here" in the first place.

I was at The Berlin Wall.
From both sides, because I went through it to the other side, at Checkpoint Charlie in spring of 1971.

I saw what such a barrier could do.

That's why I was one of the first in America to propose a "border barrier" HERE, along the southern border.

I just went looking for that post, and found it in my archives.

So... here it is, in its entirety:

Sealing the Southern Border...

The following postings were recently observed in this topic (and another on immigration):
>> It is impossible to stop people from coming across our borders.
(I include the Canadian, although I know not every one does).  It is a boondoggle along the lines of our wars on drug importation.  It can't be done.  Waste of money.
- and -
>> The Border Patrol can't stop immigrants.  We can't stop drugs after spending hundreds of billions.  How much will we waste trying to stop immigrants before we admit it doesn't work???
Poster: "Chyln"

  Wrong, Mr. Chyln. ABSOLUTELY wrong.
  I suggest you, and anyone else who thinks it can't be done, to pick up a copy of The New York Times dated September 14, 1994, and read the front page article, "A Rare Success at the Border Brought Scant Official Praise".
  The article details the story of Silvestre Reyes, chief of the Border Patrol office in El Paso, and how he completely sealed off the Mexico-US border against illegal immigration in the El Paso area.
  Once the second-busiest border crossing, with around 6,000+ crossings per day, in September 1993 Reyes surmised that it was useless and wasteful to try to catch illegal immigrants *after they already had crossed the border*. Instead, he positioned his officers right ON the border, to prevent them from crossing in the first place.
  The name of the operation was "Operation Blockade", and it worked more sucessfully than anyone had hoped for. It is still working, one year later (the name of the operation has been changed to "Hold the Line", largely to placate complaints from Mexico re the notion of a "blockade" against its citizens, which of course it is). Yet Mr. Reyes' success was viewed with suspicion and downright hostility by senior officials of the INS in Washington. Here was a border patrol supervisor who actually believed in doing the job. One might surmise that the opposition Mr. Reyes' tactics were met with indicates that senior officials of the INS are not all that interested in "doing their job" - that is, assuring that only "legal" immigrants enter the United States from the southern border.
  Before Mr. Reyes arrived in El Paso, the Times reports that the immigration situation there was "out of control":

  "Thousands of illegal aliens were streaming across the Rio Grande without constraint. Border Patrol officers were chasing them through the streets, backyards and parking lots. Often the officers grabbed El Paso residents by mistake and demaded proof that they were citizens."
  "There had been brawls and shootings, accusations of abuse, and loud public protests. The city had risen up in outrage, and a Federal judge had ordered the patrol to stop questioning people based solely on their appearance."

  Prior to September 19, 1993, 10,000 or more Mexicans waded the Rio Grande each Sunday to be ready to appear for work the next morning. But on that Sunday, they found border patrol agents standing 100 yards apart for the entire length of the border. None could get through.
  Reports the Times:

  "... within a few days the residents of El Paso began to see other effects. The police reported that the number of auto thefts and petty crimes had fallen. Merchants reported that shoplifting had dropped off. And everyone noted that city streets were largely free of beggars and windshield washers."
  "'By the end of the week,' said Al Giugni, district director for the I.N.S. in El Paso, 'it had grown bigger than life itself. Radio and television and newspaper people were talking about nothing else. And they did polls.' Though unscientific, the results were consistent; all of the polls showed public approval of 80 percent to 95 percent."

  But Mr. Reyes' superiors in Washington were less than pleased with his innovative solution. He was told that his operation was exacerbating tensions with Mexico precisely at the time the Clinton administration was trying to get NAFTA through Congress. At one point, Reyes threatenened to call a news conference to name the official in Washington who might order him to cease Operation Blockade.
Washington backed down, and the blockade continues to this day.
  In and around El Paso, no one gets across illegally, thanks to Mr. Reyes.

  Indeed, we should apply Mr. Reyes' tactics to the ENTIRE Southern front. But more importantly, rather than a human barrier, we should consider constructing a physical barrier that cannot be breached. An immense construction project indeed, but one that is within the bounds of our technology and enterprise. Of course, there would be numerous checkpoints through which people could pass through legally in either direction.
  I'm reminded of an old gospel song. It goes:

          My heaven is so high, you can't get over it
          So low, you can't get under it
          So wide, you can't get around it
          You gotta come in at the door

  Since an enormous proportion of ALL those south of our border seem to regard America as "heaven" to which they hope to escape, we must regulate the onslaught trying to break into our nation. This doesn't mean they'll never be able to get in - but if they do, they'll literally have "to come in at the door" - LEGALLY.

By the way, I believe the New York Times is here online, so anyone reading this should have near-immediate access to the abovementioned article, through which you can confirm the story and numbers that I have posted. But somehow, I get the feeling that some folks - particularly Mr. Chyln - won't really be interested in doing that....

So.... how is the progress on the building of that wall going?   

Anybody?

   We've run into a 'little' funding problem @XenaLee, mehico has over extended their VISA card, again.

I am at the point of advocating a full-blown invasion of Mexico.   The fact is, their government, and many Mexicans,  still see the Southwestern US as a defacto part of Mexico, and that they have the right to it,  no different than how the Nazis felt about the Sudetenland.    Obrador merely said what most Mexicans think, that they have the RIGHT to move to OUR country.

Yeah, well..... anybody but me see the problem with that?  No wall=no border=no immigration reform and back to (thanks to Trump's cave to the "cryin, over-emotional, fakin it rats" EO)....

catch and release (at taxpayers expense, of course).

So much for that short-lived dream of a "tax cut", eh?

I've thought of the idea of the U.S. invading Mexico for awhile, but along with it comes their corrupt governing bodies and their thugs, hoodlums and murderers.  Building the wall is a necessity at this point.

I do unfortunately for see the great possibility of civil unrest within this country on this issue.  I hope it doesn't come to that, but this issue has been festering in this country for quite sometime and like you stated a lot of Mexicans feel that they have the rights to our country.

And those are Mexicans with no logic.... or with not enough intelligence to know.... that had Mexico "won" the parts of the US that they claim belongs to them, those areas would be just as corrupt as the current territory that Mexico encompasses.  Mexicans would 'still' be risking their lives to ""get here"".  So what do they want to do?  Come here, get the right to vote, and morph the USA into yet another 3rd world "shole" like they escaped from.  Illogical and stupid.  And a perfect reason why Americans should be against that illegal invasion.

Yep, if we gave California to Mexico,  all of the Mexicans would then flee California for Oregon.

Trump: Only Workable Immigration Solution Is To ‘Detain, Prosecute, and Promptly Remove’ Anyone Who Crosses Border

We also need to end chain migration, pass a law defining the conditions of citizenship, cut off welfare and other benefits for non-citizens, and prosecute those who employ illegal aliens.  In the very recent past, people who qualified for dual citizenship, like children of Mexican citizens born in the US, had to declare their citizenship upon reaching their majority, and dual citizenship was not allowed.  We may want to do that again, but IRS actions may make that unnecessary.

I agree with you, I don't believe they are entitled.  The Constitution was written for the US and its citizens.  Lawyers now say when it says person it doesn't mean citizen.  If it was written for the US then it is talking about its citizens.

That is what they want to do.  Have you noticed how stupid the gang violence argument for asylum is?  We have MS-13 now due to illegal immigration.  You can't escape it here either.

And the bleeding heart leftists will soon be protesting and rioting over cops killing these gang members, just as they've been doing over any black thug that the cops have to shoot.  Their support always seems to go to the crooks and criminals... over law-abiding LEGAL citizens.... for "some" reason.

Yep and the liberal media uses MS-13 as an excuse for people to leave El Salvador.  I can't remember if it was CBS or NBC one of those but they were running a clip of how the Salvadorian police (or military) were patrolling a neighborhood looking for these gang members.  Well they were in a well armed military vehicle with machine gun.  Guess what?  We could use those patrols in LA too.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq., it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1.  Policy.  It is the policy of this Administration to rigorously enforce our immigration laws.  Under our laws, the only legal way for an alien to enter this country is at a designated port of entry at an appropriate time.  When an alien enters or attempts to enter the country anywhere else, that alien has committed at least the crime of improper entry and is subject to a fine or imprisonment under section 1325(a) of title 8, United States Code.  This Administration will initiate proceedings to enforce this and other criminal provisions of the INA until and unless Congress directs otherwise.  It is also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.  It is unfortunate that Congress’s failure to act and court orders have put the Administration in the position of separating alien families to effectively enforce the law.

Sec. 2.  Definitions.  For purposes of this order, the following definitions apply:

(a)  “Alien family” means

(i)  any person not a citizen or national of the United States who has not been admitted into, or is not authorized to enter or remain in, the United States, who entered this country with an alien child or alien children at or between designated ports of entry and who was detained; and

(ii)  that person’s alien child or alien children.

(b)  “Alien child” means any person not a citizen or national of the United States who

(i)    has not been admitted into, or is not authorized to enter or remain in, the United States;

(ii)   is under the age of 18; and

(iii)  has a legal parent-child relationship to an alien who entered the United States with the alien child at or between designated ports of entry and who was detained.

 Sec. 3.  Temporary Detention Policy for Families Entering this Country Illegally.  (a)  The Secretary of Homeland Security (Secretary), shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of appropriations, maintain custody of alien families during the pendency of any criminal improper entry or immigration proceedings involving their members.

(b)  The Secretary shall not, however, detain an alien family together when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child’s alien parent would pose a risk to the child’s welfare.

(c)  The Secretary of Defense shall take all legally available measures to provide to the Secretary, upon request, any existing facilities available for the housing and care of alien families, and shall construct such facilities if necessary and consistent with law.  The Secretary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be responsible for reimbursement for the use of these facilities.

(d)  Heads of executive departments and agencies shall, to the extent consistent with law, make available to the Secretary, for the housing and care of alien families pending court proceedings for improper entry, any facilities that are appropriate for such purposes.  The Secretary, to the extent permitted by law, shall be responsible for reimbursement for the use of these facilities.

(e)  The Attorney General shall promptly file a request with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the Settlement Agreement in Flores v. Sessions, CV 85-4544 (“Flores settlement”), in a manner that would permit the Secretary, under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings.

Sec. 4.  Prioritization of Immigration Proceedings Involving Alien Families.  The Attorney General shall, to the extent practicable, prioritize the adjudication of cases involving detained families.

Sec. 5.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b)  This order shall be implemented in a manner consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

I like your style @libertybele   You take no prisoners.  But surely you realize that Trump cannot build the wall by himself and surely you realize that it is still top of his agenda.

[LauraTXNM]

Hey everybody!  The media and the administration like us to focus on the southern border.  We need to remember that there are MORE visa overstays than illegal border crossings.  We really need to focus on that problem and require e-verify.
