Pres. Trump Reinstates Operation Streamline for First–Time Border Crossers

Pres. Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions will prosecute first-time border crossers as criminals under Operation Streamline. Under Pres. Obama only repeat border-crossers could be prosecuted under the program.

Operation Streamline conducts fast-track prosecutions in group hearings that process illegal aliens from arrest to jail — with sentences as long as six months — in as little as one day. The program was initiated in December 2005 as a pilot project in Del Rio, Texas. DHS expanded it to Yuma, Ariz. a year later, and to Laredo, Texas in October 2007.

Why wait for "a repeat"?
First timers are breakin' the immigration laws.
Prosecute them as such!

I guess I can see the jail time as a deterrent for illegals with dependents, but others may have little to lose from it?
