Of course, the thing here that Open Borders Sara Ramey, an immigration attorney and the executive director at the very open borders Migrant Center for Human Rights in San Antonio, Texas, fails to note is that illegal aliens aren’t actually part of the immigration system, beyond federal law which states if they are caught they are punished. For a first offense, a small fine and deportation
5 ways the new Congress can improve our immigration system
Whether as part of the government shutdown negotiations or through other legislative efforts, Congress can make a real difference in the lives of immigrants a number of way. Here I’ve outlined five effective steps that can be taken:
- Ensure judicial independence (she wants it not subject to the whims of whomever is in office as POTUS. So, who provides oversight? Doesn’t say)
- End prosecutions of asylum seekers (and this is the kind of thing which makes all the illegals claim asylum, despite less than 7% qualifying)
- Protect domestic violence victims (funny that she doesn’t want to protect victims of illegal alien crime)
- Protect family unity and well-being (I’m going to come back to this one)
- Eliminate unjustified detention (in other words, release all illegals, because they’ll totally come back for their hearings, right?)
Now, back to #4, in which she writes
Additionally, Congress should stop the administration from charging parents with smuggling their children under 8 U.S. Code § 1324. Congress can pass a law clarifying that bringing a minor child with you does not constitute smuggling, thereby clarifying that we are not a country that penalizes parents and children for wanting to be together.
Remember the days when we were told that we shouldn’t punish the children for the sins of the parents? Sin means “breaking U.S. law,” correct? So, someone has to pay. That would be the parents. The Open Borders advocates are exposing what they really mean, which is “let the kids and parents stay, regardless.” Which incentivizes more to come illegally.
Look at Senator Jeff Merkely (D-Oregon): he’s bringing a mother and child who were separated for two months (under a policy that Obama himself used) after they came illegally. This tells people to come illegally.
Illegal immigrants jump the line, making legal immigrants wait
Despite political and religious oppression under the Soviet Union, my parents waited their turn and legally immigrated to the U.S. They became doctors and saved thousands of American lives.
My Ukrainian aunt, cousin, and other relatives are doctors and other needed professionals. They have struggled constantly to immigrate for decades. Even as other less qualified cross the southern border daily and then cut the line, my family is forced to wait, kept apart by a broken immigration system.
President Trump’s promise of border security offers them hope that one day, illegal immigration may slow down and their turn will come to arrive legally. (snip)
Then again, how can the line to immigrate not take 20 years if there are thousands entering illegally every year? How can our government not be concerned about issuing visas when so many are overstayed, and we don’t have nearly enough personnel to ensure enforcement? Securing our borders and investing in enforcement is not “anti-immigrant†but “pro-legal immigrant.†It would also help countless Americans.
Yeah, but Democrats need gardeners, farm workers, and other low wage, uneducated people who will end up depending on government and voting Democrats. Why would we want people who really want to be American and bring valuable skills and knowledge? Sheesh.
1. Ensure judicial independence (she wants it not subject to the whims of whomever is in office as POTUS. So, who provides oversight? Doesn’t say). The executive branch nominates, and legislative branch approves. And the legislative branch can impeach and convict a judge.
2. End prosecutions of asylum seekers (and this is the kind of thing which makes all the illegals claim asylum, despite less than 7% qualifying) Prosecute asylum seekers for seeking asylum??
3. Protect domestic violence victims (funny that she doesn’t want to protect victims of illegal alien crime) Crimes against victims are by definition illegal. Duh. Most crimes in America are committed by male citizens. Why not implant them with chips at birth so we can track them?
4. Protect family unity and well-being (I’m going to come back to this one) It’s easy, do not kidnap and imprison the children of asylum seekers.
5. Eliminate unjustified detention (in other words, release all illegals, because they’ll totally come back for their hearings, right?) By all means, continue justified detentions. Should we continue unjustified detentions?

Do conservative businesspeople ever hire undocumented workers? We understood that most farmers, and low wage, uneducated people were Republican voters. That’s why they voted for Trump – to rescue them from their low station. You know, MAGA!
And Trump. Don’t forget Trump, who hires cut-rate greenskeepers, caddies, cooks, waitresses, clerks and housekeepers at his resorts/golf courses. They only have to rely on the government when Trump gets caught hiring undocumented residents and fires them. He even (legally) recruits foreigners to work at his projects instead of hiring Americans. MAGA.
Pffft! Nignorant works hard at being stupid.

The little voices are so often wrong. Clearly, places like IA or KS are largely rural and still vote Demo in some misguided cases.

Yes, leave them at the mercy of sex traffickers. Surprising Albertine wants this, isn’t it, liljeffy?

Define unjustfied.

You have yet to provide a soupcon of proof he knew or consented to it, but, of course, all you need is “consensus”.
We were under the impression that Trump ran his organization. But he is famous for being a “buck stops over there” kind of leader.
So should Jr or Eric be prosecuted for hiring undocumented workers? After all, the law is the law, right? And Sr “transferred” running the org to them. (BTW: Sr was in charge when the workers were hired, but we’ll play along with your nonsense).
Have they fired the employees who directly hired the undocumented workers? If not, why not?
Wasn’t DJ Trump the employer?
Do you have evidence that only the person directly hiring the illegal worker is liable? Trump was served meals by illegal workers, had his rooms cleaned by illegal workers, etc. He had no idea? What a boss.
Do you think tRump’s DOJ will go after him for these crimes? LOL.
Your little voices were wrong, Vagina. A billion dollar empire isn’t run by any one person alone. You may be able to play on the ignorance of people like your self, but it just isn’t so.
And why the fascination with his sons, you have the hots for them?
Problem is, they’re not President.
Wasn’t DJ Trump the employer?</i.
Was he?
Do you think tRump’s DOJ will go after him for these crimes? LOL.
When they get through with the Ozark Mafia, Zippy, Holder, and Mule Ears.
LOL that.
LOL.
Lather, rinse, repeat…
Has the tRump oRg fired the employees who hired illegal workers, even coaching them on obtaining forged documents?
Do you think it was corporate policy or a rogue employee?
Has The Don fired the rogues? If not, why not?
Here’s the website of the organization that TEACH calls open borders.
Can a nuConservative ever tell the truth??

It seems Trump has made you guys even dumber and more dishonest.
Gee whiz, nignorant actually used the Google machine.
He must feel proud of hisself.
Speak for yourself, Eugenia.
Trump lives rent-free in your head.
Unjustified Detention:
We help people get released from immigrant detention centers through bond and parole requests, habeas corpus petitions and other federal litigation.
Access to Counsel:
We advocate for access to legal representation regardless of ability to pay. Specifically, we help with:
Language access for non-English speakers
Reunification of families separated by the U.S. government
Sure looks like Teach is right. All the stuff the Open Borders crowd wants.
The Dems have invited some of Trump’s illegal workers to the SOTU address Tuesday. Trump should have ICE burst in and arrest them on national TV!!
Congress has just proposed billions for border security:
The Democratic proposal did include:
about $22 billion in total funding for Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement
$675 million for scanners at points of entry
$502 million for “humanitarian concerns at the border” such as food and medical care
$400 million in border security technology, 1,000 new customs agents
$156.7 million for new boats, planes and sensors.
But no The Wall. If Trump refuses to sign the funding bill, we get another shutdown. Thanks, The Don. And he’ll declare a national emergency and steal The Wall funds from another budget item, but will have to fight it out in the courts.
Then shut it down.
And hire this guy…

In that case, the Demos should be arrested.

All of which can be hacked, as Pelosi Galore knows. Try again, Edwina.

If he declares a national emergency, he won’t need a shutdown, Idiot Girl.
And he has full authority to do so. You better start praying Notorious is still alive because if it hits SCUS, you’ll need all those Lefties.
