Thread: ICE will no longer release families in Yuma; they will be transported to Phoenix

When a Custom and Border Protection (CBP) officer detains a noncitizen for not having the required immigration documents or for attempting to commit fraud to enter the U.S., CBP will ask whether the person has a fear of returning to his or her home country. A person who says “no” will be removed from the United States. If the person expresses a fear of persecution or torture, CBP officers will set up a credible fear interview with an asylum officer.

Right here, at this point, this is where this nonsense should have been nipped in the bud. They need to ask persecution by whom? Torture by whom? For what? Get names, titles, government organization, location, etc., etc. Make them wait while you leave the room to investigate. Come back, tell them you can find no proof of this, then ask them is there any proof you have? Witnesses? No, No. Out you go.

It is absolutely outrageous that the United States has been admitting these frauds with these phony claims with no evidence or collaboration of persecution or torture by their government at the initial inquiry with BP.

I guess the SWAMP ELITES in DHS think Border Patrol Agents are too dumb to ask the basic questions of a claim that any police officer anywhere in the United States asks every single day they take a report of an allegation of a crime.

Now, the next question is, if and when some "asylum officer" or "immigration judge" concludes that government officials in foreign countries are persecuting and torturing these people, each and every one that this idiot government has approved an asylum claim for, has this information of heinous crimes of persecution and torture by foreign governments against these poor asylum-seekers been turned over to our Ambassador to the UN for global sanctions and Congress, Commerce Department and the US Trade Representative for sanctions by the United States??

Or is persecution and torture of their own citizens acceptable to the United States when these people end up on our door-step, sucking up our jobs and resources and costing US taxpayers a bloody fortune processing their butts??!!!

This is why we need to Implement Judy's Plan B. You can not have it both ways. You can not sanction Russia for Facebook ads while ignoring persecution and torture of citizens by Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Mexico or any other country for that matter. If your government is the cause of asylum migration to the United States for your government's persecution and torture of your citizens, then you will receive no aid from or trade with the United States, because that is not consistent with our "values".

Tucson Immigration Officials Release More Than 700 Asylum Seekers From Detention

Homeland Security says there just isn't enough room at ICE family detention centers to accommodate a rise in asylum-seeking families.

700 Asylum Seekers ...

-0:51

As many as 700 immigrants were released by Tucson immigration officials over the weekend in the Tucson Sector. Immigration officials say most are pregnant women or families with children who are seeking asylum from Central American countries.

Teresa Cavendish, the executive director of Catholic Community Services, says these are people who pose little or no security risk. She says community churches and nonprofits that help immigrants seeking asylum had very little notice to prepare for the large numbers showing up at shelters over the weekend.

"It had not been announced publicly that this was going to happen. However, just prior to it happening, we were advised. So we have had a little bit of time to ramp up and put some opportunities together and cooperate with folks out in the community who were able to offer us space and resources," said Cavendish
Tucson Sector Chief Rudy Karisch confirmed the mass releases and said they are happening all along the border, from San Diego to Laredo, Texas. He said there has been a 50 percent daily increase in the number of immigrants turning themselves in at the border from this time last year. And, that the directive is coming directly from Homeland Security in Washington.

"We are seeing large groups of people that are surrendering right in that area between us and Yuma right now – so we have seen some very high numbers," said Karisch.

There are three main family detention centers, two in Texas and one in Pennsylvania. Together they can house around 3,600 people. The Department of Homeland Security says those facilities are full.

Karisch said: "That's the reality of what we are facing right now, with the increase in family units we are seeing right now. It's problematic to get them into some of these family centers".

As for the taxpayer cost? Zero, when immigration officials release a family to stay with friends or relatives in the U.S. until their asylum hearing date.

Compare that to $300 per day, per person - or more than $1 million a day for 3,600 individuals held in one of those three family detention centers.

City Councilman Steve Kozachik's office notified the media that it is accepting donations that it will distribute to migrants released by immigration officials over the weekend.

The requested items include newly purchased undergarments, socks, backpacks, Gatorade and travel blankets. The media release is asking that the donations be brought to the Ward 6 City Council office, 3202 E 1st St., weekdays before 5 p.m.

So, according to the above article, it is Secretary of DHS, Kirstjen Nielsen, that is authorizing the release of all these folks.

No bet because I would certainly lose!

Release them on a BUS and send them back home!

We do not want their pregnant women...we do not want to pay for it.

We do not want their children...we do not want to pay for their school.

We do not want to pay for their healthcare, welfare, food stamps, housing!

GET THEM OFF OUR SOIL!

PREGNANCY IS NOT A CASE FOR ASYLUM...SEND THEM HOME!
