The Border & Illegal Aliens, And What We Are Doing About It.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said.

“We are not going to let this country be invaded!

We will not be stampeded!

We will not capitulate to lawlessness!

This is NOT business as usual.

This is the Trump era!," the Attorney General said.

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on August 1, 2018 at 6:31pm: Non-Citizens (invaders) Increasingly Found on Voter Rolls!
8/1/18 by: AAN Staff
Non-U.S. citizens are increasingly found on voter rolls, meaning – at this time – nothing can stop them from casting a ballot in the upcoming Midterm elections.
Per Fox News:
Elizaveta Shuvalova, a Russian citizen [who became a U.S. citizen only last year], was registered as an eligible voter in 2012 and added to the San Francisco, Mexifornia voter rolls, the Washington Times reported.
She was perplexed to find herself in the voter rolls, saying she "wasn’t an American citizen and didn’t even register to vote."
“I’ve never registered for anything in my entire life,” Shuvalova told the paper. “This is news to me.”
The woman’s voter log shows that she signed up as a Democrat in July 2012.
In 2016, her registration was canceled after she informed election authorities that she wasn't eligible to vote because she wasn't yet a U.S. citizen.
Besides liberal enclaves, investigations have found that non-citizens are being added to voter rolls in crucial swing-states, such as Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on August 1, 2018 at 6:06pm: ICE, Border Patrol testify at Senate hearing on family separations.

WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee is demanding answers from federal immigration officials about the Trump administration’s separation of migrant children from their families and its struggle to reunite them, a fraught effort that’s drawn election-year criticism from both parties.
Watch the immigration officials’ remarks in the player above.
But a hearing scheduled for Tuesday on the topic may have a wider focus after the committee’s bipartisan leaders asked federal investigators to probe reports of sexual and other abuse of immigrants at government detention facilities.
Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and top panel Democrat Dianne Feinstein of California asked late Monday for an examination of alleged sexual, physical and emotional mistreatment of immigrants held at agency facilities, saying the problems may have been occurring since 2014 or earlier.
With President Donald Trump already under fire for taking thousands of migrant children from their detained parents — and botching the reunification of many — the request for the investigation elevated yet another issue to the administration’s list of immigration headaches.
“These allegations of abuse are extremely disturbing and must be addressed,” Grassley and Feinstein wrote in a letter to the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. “This is not a partisan issue as reporting suggests many have been occurring for years. Immigrant families and children kept in federal custody deserve to be treated with basic human dignity and respect and should never be subjected to these forms of abuse.”
Set to testify Tuesday to the Judiciary panel were officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Border Patrol and other agencies.
Trump began a policy of “zero tolerance” this spring, prosecuting all migrants caught entering the U.S. without authorization. To help discourage border crossing, his administration also began separating children from their detained parents, rather than following the policy used by previous administrations, which generally released the entire family pending court action.
Under withering public rejection and criticism from congressional Democrats and Republicans alike, Trump stopped taking children from their parents. But of the more than 2,500 children held, hundreds were not reunited by last week. That includes more than 400 whose parents were deported.
U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego set a deadline of last Thursday to reunite the families. While he commended administration officials for reuniting many parents in its custody with their children, it faulted them for leaving hundreds of families still apart and warning that a better system must be in place.
Trump seized on the praise, tweeting Monday that “a highly respected Federal judge” had said that the “‘Trump Administration gets great credit’ for reuniting illegal families. Thank you, and please look at the previous administrations record – not good!”
The senators’ letter, based on articles by The Associated Press and other news organizations, says the allegations suggest “a long-term pattern” of mistreatment. Those reports describe claims of abuse from this year dating back to before Trump took office.
The lawmakers want the inspectors general for the departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services to investigate the abuse allegations immediately and to release any previous investigations into the charges. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a branch of Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services oversee the facilities.
The AP reported last month that children held at an immigration detention facility in Roanoke, Virginia, said they were beaten while handcuffed, locked in solitary confinement and left nude and cold in concrete cells.
A civil rights lawsuit has been filed alleging mistreatment at the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center from 2015 to 2018. The alleged victims, Hispanic youths held for months or years, have submitted sworn statements in the case.
Lawyers for the facility have denied the alleged abuse. Many of the children have been accused by immigration officials of belonging to MS-13 and other violent gangs, an activity Trump has used to justify his “zero tolerance” policy of prosecuting immigrants caught entering the country without permission.
The senators’ letter also cited a New York Times report this month about two female migrants who described sexual abuse at detention facilities in Texas and Pennsylvania. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has reported 1,310 cases of sexual abuse against detainees from 2013 to 2017, the report said.
A June report by the website Dallas News described alleged sexual abuse at a detention center near Austin, Texas, in 2017.
The Arizona Republic reported alleged inappropriate contact involving a teenage boy in 2015 and a girl who accused a staffer of making suggestive comments in 2017 at facilities in Glendale and Tucson, Arizona. The lawmakers’ letter cited those reports as well.
Homeland Security spokeswoman Katie Waldman said agency officials perform their duties “professionally and humanely” and that the agency “is abiding by the intent and letter of law and maintains the highest standards care for individuals in our custody.”
Separated parents unknowingly gave up reunification rights, lawyers say.

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on August 1, 2018 at 5:51pm: There’s no timeline for reuniting hundreds of families who remain separated. What happens now?
7/27/18
Guatemalan illegal alien, Maria del Carmen Tambriz reacts after being returned from the U.S. without her daughter after they were separated by U.S. border officials in Guatemala city, Guatemala, July 26, 2018.
Facing Thursday’s court-imposed deadline to reunite more than 2,500 children between the ages of 5 and 17, the Trump administration said that it has discharged 1,820 children from government custody and reunited them with their parents.
In a court filing late July 26, the U.S. government said it expected to process “all class members found eligible for reunification.” However, hundreds of children remain separated from their parents as a result of the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy. After two separate deadlines in 30 days to reunite thousands of children affected by this policy, the fallout from the family separations is far from over.
Here’s a look at the latest numbers and what’s next for families who remain apart.
According to the Department of Justice, this is where the reunifications of families and children ages 5 to 17 stands as of 6 a.m. EDT on July 26, 2018:
The total number of children in this age group the U.S. has identified as separated at the border: 2,551.
• Of these, 1,820 children were discharged from the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
• Within this group of discharged children, 1,442 of them were reunited with parents who were in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Another 378 were released “in other appropriate circumstances,” including discharges to other sponsors or children who had turned 18 years old.
• 20 children on further review “were not separated from parents by DHS.”
As has been the case with previous court updates, the numbers are approximate and subject to change.
Officials for the U.S. government and the American Civil Liberties Union, which has been representing the separated families, are due back in court today to appear before U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego.
In a statement to the PBS NewsHour, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the number of eligible children now reunited is zero.
“As of Friday morning, the administration can confirm that we have reunified all eligible parents in ICE custody with children,” the statement read. “The administration continues to comply in good faith with the court’s requests while protecting the safety and well-being of all children in our care.”
Before the latest numbers were released, the ACLU’s Lee Gelernt said that the government “shouldn’t be proud of the work they’re doing on reunification,” while further criticizing the administration’s “cruel, inhumane policy.”
What about the families deemed “not eligible” for reunification?
The U.S. government said 711 children were found “either not eligible for reunification or not available for discharge at this time.”
Officials broke down that number as follows:
• Of those found ineligible, 431 children have parents who are no longer in the U.S. This is a number that worries immigration attorneys and advocates because these adults may have already been deported.
• 120 children have parents who waived their reunification rights. As previously reported, ACLU compiled personal declarations from several attorneys who have met with detained parents as part of a court filing on Wednesday. Many of the attorneys said some parents felt they were coerced into signing documents that waived their rights to reunite with their children. Others also said the forms were difficult to understand due to a language barrier or misinformation from immigration officials.
• 94 children with parents whose locations are “under case file review.”
• 79 children whose parents who were released from custody and into the U.S. (or “interior”).
• 46 children whose parents who have “red flags” resulting from an unspecified “case file review.”
• 21 children whose parents had “red flags” from their background checks.
• 7 children whose reunification was “precluded by plaintiffs and court order in separate litigation.”
The ACLU said in Thursday’s joint filing that while it can see that many families have been reunited, the government has yet to provide them with sufficient information that would allow the group to verify and locate the reunited families.
What happens now?
ACLU has signaled that it will start focusing on families that remain separated outside this court order.
“Close to a thousand parents remain separated from their children,” ACLU said in Thursday’s court filing. That approximate number includes hundreds of parents who were removed from the U.S. possibly without their children, children who were deemed “ineligible” for this court order, and parents whose cases are still “under review.”
Among this group are also 40 children with no discernable parental information, name or location attached. “These are troubling cases,” ACLU said in the filing, requesting that the government explain its efforts to the court on how it plans make contact with these parents. “There is a risk that these children will be indefinitely separated from their parents,” ACLU wrote.
**** YOU'D THINK THE PARENTS WOULD CONTACT THE USA AND GIVE THE INFORMATION NEEED. ****
Among this group are also 40 children with no discernable parental information, name or location attached.

The group also requested that the government elaborate on why dozens of parents were deemed “ineligible” for reunification. Some parents, for example, were not reunited because of their criminal history, the government said. Information about these exclusions “was too general to be useful,” ACLU said.

Also, remember, there’s uncertainty about the “ineligible” youngest children — under age 5 — that remain separated from their parents past the July 10 deadline for reunification. ACLU wants additional information on this age group as well.

The timeline on reuniting those still separated is unclear.

What else can we expect from Friday’s hearing?

In Friday’s hearing, Judge Sabraw is also expected to settle the disagreement by both parties over the deadline by which families must decide the next steps in the waiting period after they’re reunited and before they’re readied for deportation.

ACLU is hoping the judge bans deportations of families slated for removal for seven days after they’re reunified because, the group argued, parents must have “sufficient time to consult about what might be the most consequential decision of their lives.”

The government, however, has argued for a shorter waiting period, saying the proposed extension of time by the ACLU would strap the already limited bed space at the country’s detention centers and cost taxpayers an estimated $319 per day for each detained family member. U.S. officials have said they want parents to make a decision to leave the country with or without their children within 48 hours of being reunited.

One more thing.

Earlier this week, the Department of Homeland Security inspector general responded to lawmakers’ concerns over family separations, saying it was “broadly reviewing” the issue.

The DHS internal watchdog also said it would look into the conditions of detention facilities belonging to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on August 1, 2018 at 5:16pm: Watch: Top Trump Officials Refuse to Raise Hands to Defend Family Separation.
7/31/18 by : Scott Bixby
In a shocking moment, no one said ‘zero tolerance’ was a success and one official said he warned of ‘traumatic injury’ to illegal alien children.
Top Trump administration officials were asked in a Senate hearing on Tuesday to raise their hands if they thought that the “zero tolerance” immigration and family separation policies were good ideas.
Not a single one raised their hand.
Asked by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) “who here thinks zero-tolerance has been a success,” five witnesses at the Senate Judiciary Committee’s hearing on immigration enforcement and family reunification efforts sat on their hands.
The witnesses included the acting chief of U.S. Border Patrol, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation unit, the director of the Department of Justice’s office for immigration review, and the coordinating official of Department of Health and Human Services’ family reunification efforts. They also declined to raise their hands when asked “who thinks that the family separation policy has been a success.”
Blumenthal’s headcount was one shocking moment of many in the committee’s hearings on the administration’s enactment of a largely disastrous policy of separating children from illegal alien parents detained at America’s southern border, as well as the bungled court-mandated attempts to reunite those families.
Commander Jonathan White, the U.S. Public Health Service’s coordinating official for family reunifications, told the committee that he and other officials raised “a number of concerns” about the then-proposed policy’s negative affect on the mental health of alien children separated from their parents, to no avail.
“We raised a number of concerns in the program about any policy that would result in family separation, due to concerns we had about the best interests of the child,” White said.
“You told the administration that kids would suffer as a result, that pain would be inflicted, correct?” Blumenthal asked.
“Separation of children from their parents...would show significant result of trauma to children,” White responded. “There is no question that separation of children from parents could lead to significant potential for traumatic injury to the child.”
White, the most forthcoming of the officials questioned in the hearing, even said that it was the understanding of those briefed on the potential policy that “that family separation was not the policy” of the administration, in part because “we raised concerns about the effect on children as well is the effect on the program.”
Nearly 3,000 alien children, including infants and toddlers, were separated from their parents and families before the Trump administration was ordered by a U.S. district court to cease family separations. The policy was enacted—despite later protestations to the contrary—in part to discourage illegal immigration.
“I am considering family separation in order to deter more movement along this terribly dangerous network ... I am considering exactly that,” then-Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly said in March 2017.
“I would do almost anything to deter the people from Central America to getting on this very, very dangerous network that brings them up through Mexico into the United States!”
Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who implemented the policy, said in May that “if you’re smuggling a child, then we’re going to prosecute you, and that child will be separated from you, probably, as required by law. If you don’t want your child separated, then don’t bring them across the border illegally.”

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on August 1, 2018 at 5:09am: The Republican National Committee on Friday announced it raised $41.5 million in the first three months of 2017, its strongest-ever total for the first quarter following a presidential race.
“Our record-setting fundraising pace has been fueled by grassroots enthusiasm for President Trump and the Republican Party,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel said in a statement.
“The RNC is in a strong position to make an impact in key races in 2017 and 2018 as we plan to take a leading role in preserving our congressional majorities and prepare to reelect President Trump in 2020.”
The RNC said it brought in $12.2 million in March, breaking its record for biggest haul in the March after a presidential race. The committee has $41.4 million total cash on hand.

RNC finance chairman Steve Wynn said the robust totals are proof voters approve of Trump and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress.

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on August 1, 2018 at 5:04am: obuma's Grand Plan To Take Down Trump, BACKFIRED!
7/31/18 by: TTN Staff
The obuma Administration is revealed to have executed a plan to make Donald Trump the face of the Republican party. It looks like they succeeded and it backfired on them spectacularly.
According to The Daily Wire:
A new book titled, “obuma: An Oral History,” reveals that former resident barry obuma's 2008 campaign manager and senior advisor David Plouffe said the obuma Administration wanted to raise the profile of Donald Trump so that he would become the "identity" of the Republican Party.
As author Brian Abrams delineates, Plouffe added that raising Trump’s profile was "super helpful" to them. According to Abrams, Plouffe stated:
There was strategy. Lifting up Trump as the identity of the Republican Party was super helpful to us. The resident went out in the briefing room to present his long-form birth certificate, but really to continue the dance with Trump. Our view was lifting Trump at the White House Correspondents Dinner, you know, as kind of the example of the obuma opposition. There was a strategy behind the material and the amount of time we spent on Trump. Let's really lean into Trump here. That'll be good for us.
This stupid srategy did not work!
Donald Trump with his heightened profile went on to win the Republican nomination for president and beat killary. The rest is history!
MAGA

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on August 1, 2018 at 2:57am: Trump Supporters Score Victory Against Liberal Mob, Police Enablers.
7/31/18 by: AAN Staff
The liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals made another surprise ruling, this time in favor of Trump supporters who were brutalized by a leftist mob while members of the San Jose Police Department stood idly by.
Matt Vespa, of Townhall, has more:
Remember the Trump rally in San Jose, Mexifornia In June of 2016? It was a complete and total disgrace, not because it was a Trump rally, but because hordes intolerant liberals decided it was totally fine to assault people with whom they disagree politically? Punches were thrown, along with eggs, at Trump supporters because, well, they weren’t supporting killary clinton.
This is the Left. This is how they all are!:
intolerant, insufferable, condescending, unhinged, and violent.
Wait—what about the San Jose police? Well, they totally lost control of the situation, leading to scores of anti-Trump protesters chasing down Trump supporters. It was mob rule! It’s behavior liberals desperately want in this country: a tyrannical mob beating up people they hate.
It’s why the upcoming 2018 and 2020 elections are so critical, folks. We cannot let these despicable people win.
Our video of Trump supporter who says he was beaten up coming out of Donald Trump rally.
https://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/738571661956370434/pu/img/...
Police had been completely overwhelmed by the protesters. Now trying to regain some order.
Trump supporters who were brutalized by this left-wing mob of deplorables filed a lawsuit against the San Jose Police Department.
The Ninth Circuit ruled that their lawsuit could go forward.
One plaintiff claims an officer told her police were forbidden to intervene in the melee.
In contrast, San Jose Police Chief Eddie Garcia praised the officers for their restraint and city lawyers said the police did not create the volatile environment nor should be second-guessed for their decisions.
However, the court ruled 3-0 that the officers on duty knew about violence at past Trump campaign rallies, thereby allowing the plaintiffs' lawsuit to proceed.
The judges further said if the Trump supporters prove their allegations, they would indisputably show the San Jose Police increased the danger to Trump supporters by knowingly exposing them to risk and preventing them from reaching safety.

Comment by Bullheaded Texan on July 31, 2018 at 8:53pm: Fox News Host Smokes Guest On Immigration.
7/31/18 by: TTN Staff
Fox News host Tucker Carlson got into an exchange on Monday with an attorney who is in America on a green card but immigrated to America illegally. Tucker absolutely dismisses his argument of selectively enforcing the law, and reminds him of the fact that he is not a citizen of the United States of America.
NOTE: The segment begins around 21:20 in the video above.]
According to The Hill:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson dismissed on Monday an immigration attorney’s argument that all American residents should be given the right to vote, saying he was from a country “controlled by conquistadors. I think it goes to the concept of citizenship. As a nation, we have matured from only free, land-owner, white people — to now women and African Americans," said Vargas, who is able to remain in the U.S. because he got a green card."
"Don’t hit me with the race crap," Carlson interjected. "As a citizen of a country controlled by conquistadors, don’t lecture me about this stuff."
"I must say, I don’t know what 'chutzpah' is in Spanish, but for you sitting here illegally and we’re not reporting you or having you, like, taken out by force...You’re telling me that the essence of our country is not the Constitution, it’s letting illegals vote?" Carlson said.
The lawyer then went on to say that it should be about embracing the fact that everyone can be American.
Tucker was not having it. Taking the opportunity to remind Vargas that he is not a citizen of the United States while demolishing his emotional
argument with facts.
