Don’t Be Taken In by Some Drones on the Border

Don’t Be Taken In by Some Drones on the Border

Since any amnesty, whether DACA or DACA-plus, will attract future illegal immigration, any deal coming out of this week’s Senate debate must have muscular enforcement provisions.



President Trump has made “The Wall” the symbol of tougher enforcement. That’s why various proposals for a DACA/Dreamer amnesty include at least some pretense of border enforcement. The Graham/Durbin plan offered, in the words of one report, “a small down payment on the border wall” in exchange for amnesty.

The Talking Stick Common Sense Coalition is offering funding for as little as 10 percent of the wall. Senators Warner and Isakson are considering a simple extension of DACA for three years’ worth wall funding. And Sen. McCain, true to form, has teamed up with Chris Coons to propose amnesty for even more than the 1.8 million sought by the White House in exchange for a study of border security and no money at all.

It’s clear none of these senators actually wants a wall, but given its importance to Trump, they’re willing to do a striptease for a while if that will secure them the amnesty that is their true objective.



But even if these border provisions were not grudging and half-hearted, they’d still miss the point. Border security isn’t just a wall (plus some drones thrown in to dupe the rubes); it isn’t even confined to the land border. Not only is every international airport part of the border, but laxity in interior enforcement increases pressure on the borders, making it harder to maintain their integrity.

That’s why the Grassley proposal, based on the White House framework, includes more enforcement measures than simply the wall and other border accoutrements. The measure has serious shortcomings, but its enforcement section suggests the drafters understand that patching holes on the physical border won’t matter much unless you patch the holes in the law itself.


The final language of the Grassley/White House bill hasn’t been introduced yet, but to give a few examples from what have been reported of non-Wall enforcement provisions, in no particular order: Loopholes making it harder to remove Unaccompanied Alien “Children” would be filled; visitors who overstay visas by more than 30 days would be subject to expedited deportation; drunk driving would be specifically added to the grounds for deportation; dangerous criminals whose countries refuse to take them back will no longer have to be released; and local jurisdictions that honor an ICE “detainer” and hold deportable aliens for ICE pick-up would be protected from the ACLU’s anti-border lawfare.


The Grassley bill does omit some needed changes; specifically, it does not address the weaknesses in our asylum system, which increase pressure on the border. It also does not mandate E-Verify, though it does reauthorize it permanently, eliminating the opportunity for anti-borders forces to try to kill it every time it comes up for reauthorization.



Senate passage of an amnesty that doesn’t include these measures guarantees continued illegal immigration.

There are two sides to this issue, how you keep them from coming in and how you get them out once they're here. People can keep them out, same as we keep any foreign invader out of our country, we keep armies out without a wall, so there's no reason in the world that we can't change the way we run Border Patrol to keep any invader, whether an army or a band of illegal aliens, out of our country, people do this. Yes, a wall in certain places can make a difference, I don't dispute that, but a stick of dynamite will bring it down in 3 seconds. So, what is the real lure, well, it's the drug business, of course! Yes, it's some jobs but these people aren't coming here getting rich and building better lives off of minimum wage jobs. They're building their lives with drug money. So how do you get them out once they're here? You deport them as quickly as possible, because that destroys their drug base, their drug business, their cover jobs, their housing, their utilities, their families, their sponsors, their protectors, the entire broad and deeply embedded network they have to operate here and thus their ability to survive here, let alone get rich here.

So, the only "D" word we want to hear from now on is: DEPORT! DEPORT! DEPORT!!

Get the troops on the border, on Federal Land, to do their training exercises there!

Scare the crap out of them...let them assist in handing them over to Border Patrol.

FAST TRACK DEPORT WITHIN 24 HOURS

"OPERATION RETURN TO SENDER"

WE HAVE TANKS, WE HAVE JEEPS, WE HAVE HORSES, WE HAVE ATV'S....GET THEM OUT THERE AND ON THAT BORDER!

WE HAVE BIG BAD ASS ARMY, MARINES, NATIONAL GUARD! USE THEM!

THEY WILL BE NEEDED TO ASSIST AS SECURITY DETAIL WHILE THE WALL IS BEING BUILT!

STOP THE DRUGS, THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND THE PREGNANT PARASITES FROM STEPPING FOOT ON OUR SOIL.

Yes, absolutely. Our troops needs to ON THE BORDER, securing our nation from invaders. Absolutely. Be the best use of our military resources since WWII. Like Trump said, we've wasted $7 trillion in military spending in the Middle East with basically nothing to show for it except more of the same. Spend a little of these resources defending our nation by securing our borders and ports. When I went to Rome with my husband on our honeymoon, we walked into the Rome Airport from our plane and there were military forces all over that place, handsome Italians with Uzi's on their shoulders in a civilian airport. Why? Very simple, a terrorist attack on a TWA flight.

Every country in the world uses their military to protect their nation, after all, that is why you have a military. It's damn time the United States got with it and used our to protect our nation from the scourge of illegal immigration that includes terrorists, drug runners, criminals, thieves, gypsies, and if anyone is worried about Russians "meddling" in our elections, they better redirect their attention to who is really meddling in our elections, and that's illegal aliens.

Wake Up! Rise Up! Stop being stupid. Get smart. DEPORT!
