Trump’s Draft Border-Wall Plan Fills Legal Loopholes Vital to Democrats

Breitbart: A copy of President Donald Trump’s draft immigration and amnesty bill includes many legal reforms which would fill the “catch and release” loopholes used by migrants to walk through the border.

Without those legal changes, migrants could use the U.S. courts to walk through Trump’s concrete-and-rebar border wall, no matter high or thick he may have it built.

“A physical wall without the legal reforms needed to make it work would just become ‘Trump’s Folly’ — a big, beautiful lonely thing in the desert that doesn’t work,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

Yet those legal changes are also a tough nut for Democrats who see themselves as the champions of victims, including victims of Central American crime, poverty, or domestic abuse. “They really have convinced themselves that people coming from South America are [moral] equivalents to Jews fleeing [the Nazis], and the response [should be] anyone who manages to claw his way into the U.S. cannot ever be sent back because that would be a moral abomination,” he added.

But if Democrats oppose the legal changes, Trump is less likely to accept a deal which funds a $25 billion border wall that can’t stop the northward flow of migrants using the “Unaccompanied Alien Children” (UAC) or asylum loopholes.  read more

  1. POTUS Trump has many people who are on top of all the legal issues/circumstances being exploited by a liberal court to skirt the immigration laws. I’m very encouraged by people like Tom Cotton who not only understand the macro effects of bad immigration policy, but also understand how the law is defeated by bad actors/activist law enforcement and judges.

  2. Hawaii Democrat Sen. Maize Hirono urged Nielsen to provide free lawyers to the migrants

    Tell you what, Senator, free lawyers for all the invaders facing immigration judges, combined with free lawyers for all Americans targeted by secret police “judges” (who already know the government lawyers lie to them 85% of the time). Deal?

    Oh, and Senator, I was going to suggest housing all invaders with immigration issues in Puerto Rico, until their immigration status has been fully resolved. But, since Hawaii feels it’s judicial process is better than the mainland’s, I’m willing to climate change the planet to death housing them all in Hawaii, instead. Deal?
