Trump is the strongest president we’ve ever had on illegal immigration: Kris Kobach

Kris Kobach, former KS secretary of state, discusses the rapid rise in border apprehensions and says President Trump is the strongest president we have ever had on the issue of illegal immigration.




When President Trump first announced he was running for president, he was adamant on building and reinforcing a wall on the southern border. Now, in office, Trump is fighting to do just that. After a failed attempt at getting the money for the border wall in this last budget, the president declared a national emergency to secure funding for the wall.


“I think that problem lies with the leadership in Washington. I was at the border last week talking to border patrol agents who are so frustrated. One of them told me, she said, we are the Uber drivers for the illegal aliens. They come in, they come straight to us, they make a false claim of asylum and then tell us where to drive them,” former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach said on "Lou Dobbs Tonight Opens a New Window. ” Wednesday.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has often been criticized for not being allowed to do their job. Border Patrol agents are faced with thousands of illegal border crossings each day. In 2018, there were just under 400,000 apprehensions at the southern border.


“We are on track to have the highest level of border apprehensions in 12 years. Higher than anything we saw under the two terms of the Obama administration and the great irony here is President Trump is the strongest president we have ever had on the issue of illegal immigration,” Kobach said. “He campaigned on it. He has made clear where his stands. Yet we have his DHS apparently sitting on its hands. And so you have strong president who wants to solve the problem, yet the agency is not doing it.”

Just added Kris Kobach to my list....

Do not believe

Do not trust

Question for Kris-----Who chose DHS----Who can fire DHS?

And its so much more than securing the border that's needed to end this invasion; employer accountability, worksite enforcement , social security number no-match accountability, and ending birthright citizenship are critical steps to help the American people.

Watch—Kris Kobach: Wage Hikes via Less Immigration a ‘Massive’ Win for Trump, Working-Class Americans

Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says President Trump’s delivery of wage hikes through stricter immigration enforcement in the interior of the United States has been a “massive accomplishment” for America’s blue-collar and working-class communities.

During a debate for IntelligenceSquared, Kobach touted Trump’s “Hire American” economy, which has delivered increased blue-collar and working-class wages by between 3.4 percent and four percent in the last 12 months.


“By reducing illegal immigration, you drive up wages, especially in unskilled labor categories,” Kobach said. “Therefore, [blue-collar workers] have seen those wage gains, and [Trump] has delivered.”
Kobach said:

In terms of wages, in the last 12 months, we’ve seen a 3.4 percent increase in nominal wages. That’s extraordinary, the largest wage gains in the last 12 years. It is a massive achievement for the working, blue-collar voter, and that’s why blue-collar voters in exit polls voted 66 percent for Donald Trump in the last election. He’s the only one that can pull it off again. [Emphasis added]


[The wage gains are] a direct result of his positions and his policies on his signature campaign issue, which of course is immigration. President Trump has done what no other presidential candidate has done in recent years, made that a centerpiece issue and has governed with that as a centerpiece issue. He has recognized that illegal immigration really does affect all of us. Every state is a border state now. [Emphasis added]

Those wage hikes for America’s working and lower middle class and a populist-nationalist agenda are what must continue for Trump to capture states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan — as he did in 2016 — in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.
“I don’t know if any Republican can do what Trump did in those blue-collar states [of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin] and break through the Rust Belt,” Kobach said. “The party, after Trump, we may be toast if we don’t find somebody who has his special sauce who can connect with voters in those three states.”


Wage hikes for blue-collar and working-class Americans, though, are increasingly threatened by the record levels of illegal immigration coming across the U.S.-Mexico border, as well as the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) mass release of border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the country in recent months.


Unfettered illegal immigration — along with the country’s mass legal immigration policy, where more than 1.2 million mostly unskilled foreign nationals are added to the population every year to compete against Americans for jobs — has kept Americans’ wages stagnant and low for decades.


Every one percent increase in the immigrant composition of American workers’ occupations reduces their weekly wages by about 0.5 percent, researcher Steven Camarotta has found. This means the average native-born American worker today has his weekly wages reduced by perhaps 8.5 percent because of current legal immigration levels — not factoring in the wage depression caused by illegal immigration.


In a state like Florida, where immigrants make up about 25.4 percent of the labor force, American workers have their weekly wages reduced by perhaps more than 12.5 percent. In California, where immigrants make up 34 percent of the labor force, American workers’ weekly wages are reduced by potentially 17 percent.


Likewise, every one percent increase in the immigrant composition of low-skilled U.S. occupations reduces wages by about 0.8 percent. Should 15 percent of low-skilled jobs be held by foreign-born workers, it would reduce the wages of native-born American workers by perhaps 12 percent.


In 2017, foreign-born residents made up more than 17 percent of the total U.S. workforce, comprising about 27.4 million foreign workers who compete against American workers for jobs. In occupations that have been relieved by stricter immigration enforcement, like dairy farming, U.S. wages have risen and so have working conditions as employers seek to attract talent in a tight labor market.

Kobach has taken a bad wrong turn.

Stephen Miller are you next?

We haven't heard anything from Miller lately. Unfortunately, he may have lost favor with Trump. As for Kobach, I still like him and think he would be a huge improvement over Kirstjen Nielsen as Secretary of DHS. Perhaps he's just angling for her job ..... maybe?

I'm not going to judge one single sentence someone says so harshly when I know he's on our side.

That one sentence pumps Trump's ego and he will keep on doing exactly what he is doing! It is especially harmful coming from someone like Kris Kobach.

Maybe, or it could actually make Trump feel he needs to live up to the reputation Kobach has given him.
