Thread: Trump Catch and release, A South Texas Bus Terminal

Do you support releasing asylum seekers into our population with their kids for years with work permits awaiting a hearing? Really? And then when they're found out to be frauds with false claims, which apparently 80% of them are, then what do you want to do with them?

Those that were sneaking in were also being turned back and deported at the border within the 100 mile rule they operate on. Then Sessions goes to the border to make his announcement that he wants to prosecute the frauds and the ones sneaking in.

Trump ordered troops to the border months ago through DOD and the states.

Nothing is working. The troops are fixing flats and shoveling horse shit. BP is no longer turning them back but instead arresting them for fraud and illegal entry and forwarding them into the process for detention.

Nothing is working. We need a different plan.

Such B.S.! They've been pouring in for some time now! You turn them back and they just go to another section of border and try again until they finally get in undetected. Just turning them back won't work now, nor has it ever worked. There has to be a deterrent. The ones turning themselves in at the Port of Entry for asylum were not being turned back or rejected for the most part. However, now that Sessions has changed the policy where domestic violence and gang violence claims are no longer considered a credible fear, fewer asylum claimants are making it through the initial screening which is done by border patrol.

Sessions done the right thing by telling the illegal aliens the border is closed to them and should they attempt to enter illegally they will be prosecuted. Just shoving them back across the border with no consequences does not work and never has!

The reason we are having asylum claimants and illegals released is because some liberal court has said kids can't remain in detention beyond 20 days and parents can't be separated from their children. That and the fact that we don't have enough detention space is our primary problems.

If Sheriff Arpaio can detain U.S. citizen prisoners in tents and our U.S. citizen soldiers can spend months and months in tents, we should be able to detain as many illegals in tent cities on the border as needed .... assuming we can get that 20 day child ruling overruled.

93,365 Mexicans deported in the first 5 months of 2018

So what does Border Patrol do with the 80% of asylum seekers who fail their credible fear interview under Sessions plan?

Things are changing right now, thanks to Jeff Sessions. Now that he has reversed Obama's policy of accepting domestic violence and gang violence as credible fears, the numbers are coming down on those passing their initial screening by the border patrol. Also, since extra judges have been hired and moved to the border by Sessions with quota requirements, things are moving faster. This problem wasn't created overnight and unfortunately it's not going to be fixed overnight. Progress is being made, however, the liberal courts and special interest lawyers seem to be sending us back two steps for every step forward we make at times and that's very unfortunate.

The direct answer to your question is more detention centers for individual illegals and families with faster adjudication of asylum claims and illegal alien prosecutions. Oh, and Sessions must get that stupid 20 day detention rule for children overturned.

Trump obviously can't or won't militarize the border, so that's out. Even if the border was militarized, it wouldn't stop the asylum claims. Sessions did us a huge favor there by removing domestic violence and gang violence as credible fears. That just happened recently, which means we probably won't have any hard data on how that's working out for a couple months.

So you want US taxpayers to build more detention centers to house and care for illegal aliens for months or years waiting for a deportation hearing? This is your plan?

I don't know how many times I have to tell you this, but Sessions is not responsible for detention or catch & release. That falls under the duties and responsibilities of DHS, not the DOJ. You need to direct your question to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirsjen Nielsen.

Border Patrol does the initial credible fear screening for asylum claimants and BP works for DHS. SESSIONS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!

What does Border Patrol do with the illegal aliens who fail their credible fear interviews? What does Border Patrol do with the illegal aliens who pass their credible fear interview?

Tent city retention centers along the border probably wouldn't be as expensive as you might think. It would be a hell of a lot cheaper than what they cost us roaming in our interior. The alternative is just to keep releasing them in the interior. That's not a solution. We must end catch & release!

You'd probably be shocked at how quick the word would get out to the countries these people are coming from. Are they really going to be so anxious to come if they know they aren't going to be released immediately and will more than likely end up being deported after spending time in detention? They have to suffer the consequences of their actions. We have to send the right message, which we haven't done since I don't know when .. if ever. Moreover, we must get to the point where we can adjudicate all asylum claims within 180 days so the asylum claimants will never qualify for work permits.

Okay, now you're asking a different question. Of course you know I've already answered this for you before.

If the asylum claimant fails their credible fear screening, they become eligible for immediate removal. However, A detainee who has not established a credible fear can request a review of the decision in a hearing by an immigration judge. This is a last resort effort. Should the judge agree with the initial findings by Border Patrol, the detainee will be deported without further recourse.

A detainee who has established a credible fear of persecution will be allowed to apply for asylum, either while in detention or after having been released. That's a call that rest with DHS. It's these releases that must be stopped!
