Inside Trump's new plan to limit immigration
Adios, Aug 21, 2023

Trump's plan would involve waves of harsh new policies — and dust off old ones that rarely have been enforced, if ever. It would:

*Ramp up ideological screening for people legally applying to come into the country. U.S. law has blocked communists from entering for decades, it just hasn't been enforced. Trump wants to enforce it to reject applicants who are deemed "Marxists."

*Send the Coast Guard and the Navy to form a blockade in the waters off the U.S. and Latin America to stop drug smuggling boats. It would be a significant step up Trump's show of force in 2020, when he sent warships to the Caribbean as a warning to cartels.

*Expand Trump's "Muslim ban" idea to block more people from certain countries from entering the U.S. As president he banned immigration from more than a dozen countries that are mostly Muslim or in Africa; President Biden rescinded that executive order.

*Designate drug cartels as "unlawful enemy combatants" to allow the U.S. military to target them in Mexico. The U.S. has used that designation to justify long-term detentions of 9/11 suspects at Guantanamo Bay.

*Seek to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Trump considered this as president, but today's conservative-leaning Supreme Court has given his team more confidence about taking on an inevitable legal fight.

*Complete his border wall. Trump spent billions to put 452 miles of new fencing along the 1,954-mile southern border. Biden halted the project.

FTA:

He plans to cut access to the U.S. immigration system for countries whose citizens have high rates of staying in the U.S. illegally after their visas expire.

Trump also wants to require prospective immigrants to prove they can afford health insurance, and force some travelers pay hefty bonds to enter the U.S.

This is good. I think cartels should be labeled as terrorist organizations, though.

Yadda Yadda Yadda -- campaign promises again for a complete border wall.  This time it will be different. Right.

You know Ron has said he will build the wall too. Right?

FTA:

Trump would restore a slew of asylum restrictions, renegotiating deals with Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — and potentially other nations— to send regional migrants there shortly after they reach the U.S.

He would point to general illness coming across the border to try to reimpose Title 42 — the public health order used millions of times during the pandemic to expel migrants who entered the U.S. illegally.

Here's a novel idea.  Why not simply arrest people who are here illegally, charge them with illegal entry, prosecute them, convict them, sentence them, and after their sentences are up, deport them.

Oh, and don't give them any free stuff either.  Do that, and you get my vote.  Unfortunately, Trump isn't on board with any of that.

You know Ron has said he will build the wall too. Right?

However, unlike Trumpie, DeSantis could most likely actually get it built.

[bigheadfred]

However, unlike Trumpie, DeSantis could most likely actually get it built.

Yeah, probably, given the state of the border today. Repubs had the power to do it in 2017 and blew it. Not just Trump.

Yeah.  No.  That was on Trump.  He promised, and he failed.  As with so many other promises of his.  Then again, that's what typically happens with a narcissist.

[libertybele]

Only difference is DeSantis WILL get it done.

[corbe]

   The GOP has been clamoring for a wall since 2005 AND FAILING!

The existence of the Biden administration is a product of Trump’s failures.  Despite his campaign promises, immigration was not addressed in a meaningful way.  Hell, there may be more illegals in the US now than if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016.  They just waited until Trump got himself fired, and invited all of their friends.
