Thread: DAY ONE: NEW A.G. WHITAKER Drops the Hammer on Illegals; Expands Trump’s Authority Ov

Whitaker was Jeff Sessions Chief of Staff, of course he was involved in the 3 pages of the 78 pages of the new rule, he probably wrote it, he's a former US Attorney, confirmed by the Senate. This new rule is Kirsten's deal, not Jeff Sessions or Matt Whitakers, its hers, something she's been pounding for since at least March. She was even running ads down in Central America telling them not to cross the border, only try to enter at the Ports of Entry. I don't know how much difference it will make, but hopefully it will make a difference of some kind, hopefully a big difference. We'll see how it goes.

According to Mark Kirkorian, this does not accomplish much. Asylum is still being granted. This is an end run around coming illegally. Asylum is being used as a ruse for people to gain entry and be released. These people will be released. More caravans are coming. Only Congress can stop it per Mr. Krikorian.

Not an encouraging message with a democrat House and the republican Senate gains possible slipping away.

That's right it doesn't, at least not in stopping it. It redirects them to the Ports of Entry which could deter them somewhat, it also saves BP some travel time, and slows down the entry because it's controlled. But it's not the suspension of all asylum claims that we want, I guess they feel we can't go that far without Congress. Maybe it make some difference, discourage some, hasten deportations a little, make it more orderly, but to me that's about it. Until we change the asylum laws and possibly even withdraw from some of those UN agreements that seem to dictate what we can do, this is the new Tsunami and we have no defense to it, legally, except to redirect it or reorganize it or expedite it, but it looks like we can't shut it down.

We've lost our war. If and when Republicans would ever have control of the House again at the same time as we control the Senate and the White House .... well, that's not a miracle that we'll ever see in our lifetimes, and without all 3 including a 60 seat majority in the US Senate, we can't pass a law or fund border security or mass deportations or anything other than what we've doing which is welcoming, underwriting, subsidizing and trading off our futures for theirs.

Very depressing time.

Poor NumbersUSA is sending out fund-raising emails bragging about having "sent a message" to Republicans who didn't vote the exact way they wanted, like "boy, did voters show them or what?" So pathetic when these activist groups show so clearly, that they don't even know what they've done to themselves or our country and citizens. The candidates who were defeated go on with their lives, return to private life, make lots of money, and actually improve their lot. The only people who suffer from these stupid "hold their feet to the fire" campaigns are the Americans who were betrayed by bad lobbying strategies that resulted in disastrous political outcomes for the American Worker and ordinary Americans.

I don't think the reality of what happened on Tuesday has sunk in. Either that or Mark, Roy, Ira and some others live in a bubble.

I guess they'll realize what has happened and what it means eventually.

It wasn't signed by Whitaker.

You're absolutely right, thus the title of the story is misleading! There is clearly no evidence that Whitaker had anything to do with it.
