That's insane. Texas "and other states" have lost their minds. According to your article the unaccompanied minors program costs US taxpayer over $1.2 billion a year. None of these children should qualify for foster care, they should be transported immediately to the nearest Consulate of their country, left there for immediate removal and processing to their home country by the Consulate of that country at its expense.

After Bush I for 4 years, Clinton for 8 years, Bush II for 8 years and Obama for 8 years which is 28 years of ignorant, stupid, globalist, anti-American administrations, the degree of insanity this has generated in our justice and immigration systems is mind-boggling, stunning, dangerous and has to be fixed.

This all just reinforces my belief that this is a problem that has to be stopped by the home countries and Trump has to use aid and trade sanctions to force them to do it, what I call my Plan B.

Plan B:

Tell all these countries, if your citizens do not stop entering the US illegally, then your country will have no aid from or trade with the United States. Period.

It's that simple when you use diplomacy. It's called a trade embargo. The border is closed to them and the goods and services listed on the trade restriction list. We know how to do this, we do it to Cuba and Puerto Rico. We're doing it to Iran, North Korea and Russia. We know how to do this, Americans do not know how to work through this maze of phony laws and dishonest bureaucratic open borders policies and regulations that are designed and implemented to do the exact opposite of they're supposed to do.

When Trump gets back and settled in from Helsinki and clears a few things from his plate, he must get Navarro, Lighthizer, Ross, Miller, Mnuchin, Mulvaney and Pompeo in a room and draft this Executive Order for various levels of Trade Embargoes with varying start dates for the violating countries, based on national security, which authorizes military action at ports and borders to enforce it.

How can countries like Iran, North Korea and Russia take the US seriously when we can't even keep a bunch of illegal aliens out of our country? It's a national disgrace what is going on with immigration. We know Congress isn't the solution, we know the Courts aren't the solution. We know DOJ and DHS aren't the solution. The White House has to take full command and control of this problem and solve it through its national security, trade and aid powers. This group can work out the details in a manner that limits economic harm to the US, while exerting the maximum pressure on the citizens of these countries. It is their obligation to solve the problem they alone cause, not ours. Our only responsibility is to ourselves, our best interest and using all means available to force these countries to stop a problem they alone cause.
