UPDATE II (4/28/019): Nielsen Tried To Stop The Invasion By Separating ‘Families.’ Then Ivanka Cried & Trump Crumbled.

I’ve followed Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen closely. I disagree with those badmouthing her. They have historical Alzheimer’s. Nielsen is best known for separating “families” (a commendable thing when this is the only legal tool with which to stop an invasion of the country). She eloquently defended the separation of families. Nielsen, in fact, was fully committed to a zero-tolerance policy and the resultant family separations.

The policy called for all suspected border crossers — including parents and asylum seekers — to be prosecuted for illegal entry. As a result, thousands of children were separated from their parents, with children classified as “unaccompanied.“ …

Then, Ivanka and The Familia intervened. Trump, whose loyalties are with his daughter’s ambitions, crumbled. And subsequently, the president solicited Nielsen’s help in “drafting an executive order barring family separations.” Again, Nielsen had been down with separating “families” to stop the invasion.

Now, Kirstjen Nielsen is being blamed for legislative inaction in the first 2 years of the presidency, when the Republicans controlled both houses and The Executive .

UPDATE I (4/8/019):

Trump signed an executive order to END HIS OWN family-separation policy. Now he’s angry with Secretary Nielsen for being unable to reverse his OWN decision.

UPDATE II (4/28/019):

US is able to keep a Russian waif, Maria Butina, in solitary for months, then sentence and deport her. But we allow hundreds of thousands of the great unwashed to cross the Southern border and stay in the US for good. MAGA?

The Dirty Dozen: The Senate Republicans Who’d Rather Lose The Country Than Play Tough

Democrats, Homeland Security, IMMIGRATION, Republicans

The Dirty dozen: “… nearly a quarter of Senate Republicans joined Senate Democrats in supporting the House-passed resolution of disapproval.”

The 12 Senate Republicans who blocked President Trump’s border Emergency Declaration are,

Via the New York Times:

… Roy Blunt of Missouri, Susan Collins of Maine, Mike Lee of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Marco Rubio of Florida, Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Mr. Alexander and Mr. Moran.

At least it’ll make the president use his veto power for … the first time.

The dirty dozen are dumb and dastardly. And that includes Rand Paul. They’re worried, seemingly, “about executive overreach.”

However, we live in the post-constitutional America. Only loser Republicans pretend it ain’t so. They follow the Queensberry Rules, while Democrats, who play to win, deal them a one-two punch.

POTUS tweets that, “The Democrats are ‘Border Deniers.’ They refuse to see or acknowledge the Death, Crime, Drugs and Human Trafficking at our Southern Border!”

I don’t think so. “Democrats see all too clearly that open borders will bring the demographic change that’ll make America a dominant-party state like South Africa.”

But more than that, Dems and their Republican enablers are true believers. You can respect them for their fight and determination to get their way.

Republicans deserve only contempt.

Mayor & Police Reassure The ‘Immigrant Community,’ After Helpless American Woman Is Killed By Illegal Alien Predator

Crime, Criminal Injustice, Homeland Security, IMMIGRATION

For how long will American citizens tolerate these kind of travesties?

Fifty-nine-year-old Bambi Larson was found “slashed and beaten in her Knollfield Way home in San Jose on February 28.”

The 24-year-old suspect is Carlos Arevalo Carranza, illegal alien offal, a dangerous career criminal. He allegedly stalked his helpless victim with impunity.

A vulnerable American lady is butchered, yet, foremost on the “minds” of San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo and his police chief is to make assurances not to the legit community, but to the “immigrant community”:

… It is long overdue for the County to reconsider its current policy of ignoring ICE hold requests for predatory felons, which undermines the safety of the very immigrant communities we collectively seek to protect.

Don’t be naive. This guy Liccardo and his police chief are going through the motions, pandering to the right political bloc, ignoring the passive population that dare not speak its name.

Until the next time, when they will mutter the same sweet nothings on the grave of another helpless lady.

Emergency At The Border? Depends On Your Definition Of ‘Emergency’

Crime, Democrats, Donald Trump, Homeland Security, IMMIGRATION, Logic, Republicans

It’s all in the definition of an emergency. To the progressive Demopublicans, an endless stream of uninvited migrants swamping the country is not an emergency. Open borders are a good thing, never an emergency.

Dallas Times:

They came in pairs, by the dozens, hundreds. In one group, as many as 400 immigrants crossed the border here in a single, massive group.

Many are families. And some would soon sleep for the first time on U.S. soil — but out in the open, under the stars, because federal agents are having a difficult time processing them and getting them to shelter.

“What we’re seeing is something I haven’t seen in at least 10 years,” said Joe Romero, a veteran U.S. Border Patrol agent.

And yet, when asked whether he was witnessing an emergency on the border, Romero paused and kept his eyes on the road. He and his partner drove slowly Wednesday in the shadow of a fence, long stretches of it lined with migrants waiting to be transported to begin the process of seeking asylum.

To The Economist, the fact that there are fewer individuals crossing unimpeded into the US than in years past implies that … there is no emergency.

If America has a border crisis, it comes not from any sort of invasion—in the year to September 2018, the authorities caught 396,579 people trying to cross the southern border, fewer than half as many as in 2007

Logic is not a strong suit, these days.

… as of September there was a backlog of 319,000 pending asylum cases. Between 2010 and 2017 the number of asylum claims filed annually rose from 28,000 to 143,000, with many coming from Venezuela, Guatemala and El Salvador. Political instability and violence in Central America pushes people north. But some are also drawn by America’s inefficient asylum system, which lets people stay and work while their claims are assessed.

The real problem is structural. America’s immigration-enforcement system was designed to cope with the sort of migration that historically came from Mexico—single men looking for work, eager to dodge immigration police. It is not suited to today’s flow, which consists largely of families and children eager to present themselves to police so they can claim asylum. Sadly, ambitious immigration reform has eluded Washington for years, and this administration is unlikely to take up that poisoned chalice (see Lexington).
