Agreements are always BROKEN. Agreements mean ZERO unless they are enforced and can be enforced. Words on a piece of paper are only words on a piece of paper, until they result in tangible, lasting results. Our so-called US Federal Government, assuming that even exists anymore in the form we are told it exists in and are familar with, and that is definitely in question, NEEDS TO ENFORCE AND MAINTAIN OUR OWN BORDER, NOT MEXICO!!!!!
Hope this doesn't take the winds out of the sails of that DC protest tommorrow????? I just didn't have it in me to drive 1400 miles round trip and paint up the signs. I hope at least 100 people show for this protest that live a little closer to DC and hopefully a mutiple of that will show up. I have an incredible frustration with what's going on and I hope others with the same frustrations that live closer to DC show up at this thing in force and VENT BIG TIME.

US and Mexico Sign Agreement on Tariffs, Trump Declares
BY MIMI NGUYEN LY
June 7, 2019 Updated: June 7, 2019Share
President Donald Trump announced that a deal has been reached between the United States and Mexico late June 7, after U.S. and Mexican officials met for the third day of talks at the U.S. State Department.
“I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
“The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended.
“Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border.
“This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you!
Trump said that details would be released soon by the State Department.
On June 6, Mexico offered to send up to 6,000 members of its national guard to secure its southern border with Guatemala, in a bid to curb the rising influx of illegal immigrants, the Washington Post first reported.
The Mexican Finance Ministry on the same day also said they blocked the bank accounts of 26 people for their alleged involvement in human trafficking. In a statement, the ministry’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) said it froze the accounts due to “probable links with human trafficking and illegal aid to migrant caravans.”
Trump had threatened to impose the levies starting at 5 percents on June 10 if the Mexican government does not agree to do more to tackle an increase in mostly Central American migrants crossing Mexico to enter the United States.

The two countries began their meeting on June 5 for discussions led by Vice President Mike Pence in Washington. Pence on the morning of June 6 told reporters that Mexico needs to do more to address the illegal immigration situation, though he noted that the previous talks were positive overall.
“We welcomed the efforts of the Mexican officials to offer solutions to the crisis at our southern border, but we need Mexico to do more,” he said before departing on an Air Force Two.
Swift Change
Trump had indicated on June 4 at a press conference in London that “it’s more likely that the tariffs go on,” and that he was expecting to put tariffs on Mexican goods starting June 10 unless more migrants traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border from Central America were interdicted by Mexico.
But on June 5, Trump sounded more optimistic the tariffs could be avoided, saying Mexico was starting to take his demands seriously.
“I think they want to do something. They’re sending their top people,” he said during a visit with the Irish Prime Minister in Ireland.
Those top people were Mexico’s foreign minister and ambassador to the United States, who were set to meet with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Vice President Mike Pence at the White House.
Trump had said earlier that Democrats have forced him to take action against Mexico because they aren’t willing to fix the U.S. immigration laws that are fueling the immigration crisis.
“Border arrests for May are at 133,000 because of Mexico & the Democrats in Congress refusing to budge on immigration reform,” he tweeted.
Customs and Border Protection recently released the number of migrants illegally crossing the border in May, showing a 13-year high of 144,278.
“We need to work with Mexico on this problem,” Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan told The Hill.
He said that at any given time, there are 100,000 migrants transiting through Mexico on their way to the U.S. border.
“This is a very overt movement. It uses commercial bus lines. These are organized criminal organizations that are smuggling humans,” he said. “In Chiapas, there’s about a 150-mile stretch where most of these crossings occur between Guatemala and Mexico. We need them to interdict these folks at the point of origin crossing their border.”

Share & Discuss this release by email and on (FACEBOOK HERE) … (TWITTER HERE) .. (GAB HERE) .. (ALIPAC HERE)Former and current Trump supporters will unite to protest against illegal immigration, DACA, Amnesty legislation (HR 6), and Presidential catch and release policies outside of the White House on Saturday, June 8, 2019 for a Stand Up America and Stop Illegal Immigration Rally.
Racially inclusive peaceful groups, activists, congressional candidates, and angel families are invited to speak in the south west corner of Lafayette Square, directly across from the White House, to increase pressure on the Trump administration to stop breaking numerous campaign promises on immigration issues. (View tracking list)
President Trump’s administration has disappointed many supporters by failing to deport large numbers of illegal immigrants, crack down on employers of illegals, end DACA Amnesty, reduce legal immigration levels, end birthright citizenship, remove non-citizen voters from US elections, stop sanctuary cities, or end catch and release.
The White House has instead supported Amnesty legislation deals with Democrats, raised legal immigration levels, and Donald J Trump even signed a form of Amnesty into law in the secretive budget deal bill H.J. Res. 31 (Section 224a) that prevents the deportation of illegal minors and illegals using them as a legal shield.
“This rally is for Trump supporters who are angry, disappointed, or concerned that this President has not kept his campaign promises on immigration issues,” said Ray Herrera of We the People, America. “Donald Trump is losing a lot of support as illegal immigration has risen to levels higher than under Obama and Bush while fines for employers of illegals are lower on his watch.”
Other rally speakers have similar concerns.
“More Americans are being harmed and killed by illegal immigrants than ever before because President Trump has not cracked down on illegal immigration as he promised, and because he has focused on Amnesty deals with Democrats he never mentioned on the campaign trail,” says Angel Family member Jeanne Reid. “This means more Americans than ever before are being lost like Kate Steinle and my brother Joe Storie. There are more Angel Families being created under Trump, not less.”
Jeanne’s brother Joe Storie was killed by drunk driving illegal immigrant
Luis Alberto Rodriguez-Castro who is now free but whearabouts unknown after a NC judge Judge J.C. Cole lowered bond ignoring flight risks.
William Gheen of ALIPAC plans to present a long list of grievances that need Executive Branch action including ending the free flights for fake asylum seeking illegals, job permits for illegals, visitor visa’s for illegal immigrant family members and a 100% release rate for illegal alien families.
“Things are nowhere near where we expected things to be during Trump’s first term based on his numerous campaign promises to crack down and send illegals home,” declared William Gheen of ALIPAC. “Trump won the election by adopting our platform and campaign stances on immigration, but now that he is in office, he governs more like the kind of Amnesty supporting globalist candidates we oppose.”
ALIPAC hopes to live stream the June 8 rally on the Facebook pages of Raymond Herrera (View) and William Gheen (View) for audiences to watch and share from home.
Opponents of illegal immigration and Amnesty, with varying degrees of support for Trump, are encouraged to attend this demonstration and bring appropriate signs and US flags.
The current speaker list for the event includes, but is not limited to:
Raymond Herrera and Wes Parker of We The People, America
William Gheen of ALIPAC
Ivan Garcia-Hidalgo of the Hispanic Leadership Council
Stewart Rhodes of Oath Keepers
Jeanne Reid, Angel Family member whose brother was killed by an illegal alien
Hessie Harris & Shakil Hamid of Help Save Maryland
Johsie Cruz Candidate for Congress (R-GA/4) & Latinos for Trump Georgia
Carlos Alfredo Torres Latinos for Trump Georgia
Organizers are reaching out to other group leaders, activists, and social media influencers to speak on June 8 including Ann Coulter, Rep.

Trump also announced the promised tariffs would not be imposed.

Donald Trump Delivers Remarks on Supporting America’s Farmers and Ranchers
The “safe third country” deal that was sought by the administration would block migration by extending routine international migration rules to the region.
The sought-after deal would require migrants in the region to seek safety and asylum in the first safe country they reach and allow the United States border agencies to reject migrants who cross through Mexico to reach the U.S. border. It would minimize the ability of Congress, pro-migration legal groups, and cheap labor lobbies to import more migrants for companies and donors, because the deal builds on existing laws which allow border agents to return migrants to countries who have signed a diplomatic deal.
Throughout the negotiations, Mexican officials sought to minimize the scale of any “third safe country” deal and instead offered to allocate more resources to guarding their southern border with Guatemala.
But that promise of extra security is of little value, because any Mexican government can quietly order its forces to turn a blind eye to the cartels’ labor-trafficking operations.
The Mexican foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, also announced an unexplained deal, but couched it as a cancellation of Trump’s promised tariffs:
Overall, the deal is supposed to shrink or even stop the accelerating migration of Central America into the United States.
Under current rates, roughly one million Central Americans will walk through the border loopholes created and preserved by courts and Congress, and into Americans’ workplaces, neighborhoods, and schools during the 12 months prior to October.
A good deal for Trump will also be a bad deal for Democrats, who have campaigned during the last few days to prevent a deal that would slow the inflow of migrants.
Democrats oppose a deal, in part, because it reduces their bargaining power in the domestic fight against Trump to win amnesty for millions of illegals.

What does a"comprehensive immigration reform deal" even mean in the context of securing our border?Quote:
President Donald Trump has announced a comprehensive immigration reform deal with the Mexican government, but the details have not been released.
What kind of good deal are we giving Mexico to acquiesce to our demands? I thought this was a one-way deal .... you do this, that and the other to avoid tariffs on goods shipped from Mexico. What am I missing?
In my view, a "comprehensive immigration reform deal" means both sides are getting something. Am I wrong?
CNN ANCHOR: US GOT ‘ALMOST EVERYTHING IT WANTED’ WITH MEXICO TRADE DEAL
3:44 PM 06/08/2019 | MEDIAScott Morefield | Reporter
CNN anchor Victor Blackwell admitted Saturday morning on “New Day” that the United States got “almost everything it wanted” in the U.S.-Mexico trade deal that was announced Friday.
The “New Day” coverage began with CNN White House correspondent Sarah Westwood describing the White House’s intention to “frame this as a victory for President Trump,” who reversed his original plans to impose a tariff on Mexican imports in response to the country’s concessions, particularly “stepped-up immigration enforcement efforts.”
WATCH:
Westwood reported Trump’s Friday night announcement before showing video of the Mexican ambassador calling what the country agreed to “unprecedented.” (RELATED: CNN Lays Off Almost Entire Division, Surprises Employees As ‘Crazy Rumor’ Comes True)
“I am pleased to inform you that the United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico,” Trump announced via Twitter Friday night. “The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended. Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border. This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States. Details of the agreement will be released shortly by the State Department. Thank you!”
The president delved into more of the deal’s specifics on Saturday, including Mexico’s promise to deploy their own troops at the border.
“Now, there is the additional border enforcement and help in breaking up trafficking networks. The U.S. got almost everything it wanted from Mexico,” Blackwell noted from the anchor desk after Westwood signed off.
The anchor’s admission comes as Rep. Maxine Waters and others framed the news as Trump caving from “just another bluff.”

WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING until we see what the Mexicans actually do to live up to this agreement. What most are forgetting is that the super majority of invaders aren't being interviewed for asylum and are allowed to go just about anywhere in the nation they please because there's not enough detention space to hold them.. So how does this REMAIN IN MEXICO program affect them? I don't feel anything really changed here on this? When detention space is filled up, which it always is, Trump will just continue to let them go. How can they be returned to Mexico if they aren't claiming asylum?????

President Trump Is Confident Mexico Will ‘Try Very Hard’ to Enforce New Immigration Deal
BY JANITA KAN
June 8, 2019 Updated: June 8, 2019Share
President Donald Trump is optimistic about the new immigration deal reached between the United States and Mexico on June 7, saying that he believes Mexico would “try very hard” to enforce the agreement that could stem the flow of illegal immigrants coming into America.
“Mexico will try very hard, and if they do that, this will be a very successful agreement for both the United States and Mexico!” Trump said on early June 8.
Trump warned on May 30 that he will impose a 5 percent important tariff on all goods coming from Mexico if the country does not take action to tackle the influx of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexicosubsequently sent a delegation, led by Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico, to Washington to seek “an agreement for the benefit of the two nations.”
After three days of negotiations, the United States and Mexico reached anagreement that would see an expanded implementation of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy and increased security at the southern border. The implementation of the tariffs against Mexico was subsequently suspended indefinitely.
“I am pleased to inform you that the United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico,” Trump wrote on Twitter late June 7.
“Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border,” he continued. “This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States.”
In the deal, named as the “U.S.-Mexico Joint Declaration,” Mexico vowed to “take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration” including the deployment of its National Guard. The country will also work toward dismantling “human smuggling and trafficking organizations as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks.”
Moreover, Mexico will work with the United States to expand MPP across its entire southern border. The MPP, which was enacted on Jan. 24, forces asylum-seekers traveling north into the United States to wait in Mexico while their claims are processed.
The MPP was first trialed in at the San Ysidro border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, but has so far expanded to the points of entry in Calexico, California, and El Paso, Texas.
In return, the Trump administration said they were committed to working toward accelerating the processing of asylum claims as well as finalize removal proceedings as quickly as possible.
The president expressed gratitude toward Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and other representatives in a separate tweet on June 8.
“I would like to thank the President of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and his foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, together with all of the many representatives of both the United States and Mexico, for working so long and hard to get our agreement on immigration completed!” he said.
Meanwhile, in another tweet, Trump said Mexico has begun buying large quantities of agricultural products from U.S. farmers but it is unclear whether this pledge is part of the June 7 deal.
“MEXICO HAS AGREED TO IMMEDIATELY BEGIN BUYING LARGE QUANTITIES OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT FROM OUR GREAT PATRIOT FARMERS!” he wrote.
Trump has made stopping illegal immigration a priority during his two years in office. Data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have shown record highs in the apprehension of illegal aliens at the southern border. U.S. border agents detained more than 132,000 people crossing from Mexico in May, the highest level since 2006.
Additionally, during the first seven months of the 2019 fiscal year, 531,711 illegal aliens have crossed the border into the United States, according to CBP data.
Border officials have repeatedly warned that the immigration system at the border is overwhelmed and have called for immediate action from Congress.
In an official White House statement following his announcement of the 5 percent tariffs on Mexico, Trump explained the measure was needed because Mexico’s previous passive attitude toward the issue of illegal immigration was viewed as an “emergency and extraordinary threat to the national security and economy of the United States.”
“Mexico has very strong immigration laws and could easily halt the illegal flow of migrants, including by returning them to their home countries. Additionally, Mexico could quickly and easily stop illegal aliens from coming through its southern border with Guatemala,” Trump said in his statement.
Later in the statement, the president said: “Mexico has allowed this situation to go on for many years, growing only worse with the passage of time.”
“From a safety, national security, military, economic, and humanitarian standpoint, we cannot allow this grave disaster to continue,” he added.
“Mexico must step up and help solve this problem. We welcome people who come to the United States legally, but we cannot allow our laws to be broken and our borders to be violated. For years, Mexico has not treated us fairly—but we are now asserting our rights as a sovereign Nation.”
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Reuters on June 8 that the Trump administration believed the deal would “fix the immigration issue.”
He also warned that Trump retained the authority to impose tariffs if Mexico failed to enforce the new agreement.

Trump: Deal Reached With Mexico "To Stem The Tide Of Migration", Tariffs Suspended
https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...?itok=LY4e264-

It would appear that Trump's tariff threat worked.
"I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico,"President Trump tweeted Friday.https://zh-prod-1cc738ca-7d3b-4a72-b...es/trump11.jpg
"The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended."
Trump had announced the tariff threat in response to a surge in illegal migration to the U.S. through Mexico this year. More than 144,000 people were apprehended after illegally crossing the southern border in May or were refused entry to the U.S. That’s the most in a single month in at least five years; the number has grown every month since January.
Mexico has agreed to "strong measures to stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border," Trump wrote.
The State Department released the following "details" (which many said we beyond opaque):
Mexican Enforcement SurgeTrump on Saturday also tweeted that Mexico also will buy “large quantities” of agricultural products, a stipulation that wasn’t included in a joint statement. As reported previously, Mexico did commit to deploying National Guard troops to help curb illegal migration and agree to care for Central Americans seeking asylum in the U.S. indefinitely as their cases wind through the system.
Mexico will take unprecedented steps to increase enforcement to curb irregular migration, to include the deployment of its National Guard throughout Mexico, giving priority to its southern border. Mexico is also taking decisive action to dismantle human smuggling and trafficking organizations as well as their illicit financial and transportation networks. Additionally, the United States and Mexico commit to strengthen bilateral cooperation, including information sharing and coordinated actions to better protect and secure our common border.
Migrant Protection Protocols
The United States will immediately expand the implementation of the existing Migrant Protection Protocols across its entire Southern Border. This means that those crossing the U.S. Southern Border to seek asylum will be rapidly returned to Mexico where they may await the adjudication of their asylum claims.
In response, Mexico will authorize the entrance of all of those individuals for humanitarian reasons, in compliance with its international obligations, while they await the adjudication of their asylum claims. Mexico will also offer jobs, healthcare and education according to its principles.
The United States commits to work to accelerate the adjudication of asylum claims and to conclude removal proceedings as expeditiously as possible.
Further Actions
Both parties also agree that, in the event the measures adopted do not have the expected results, they will take further actions. Therefore, the United States and Mexico will continue their discussions on the terms of additional understandings to address irregular migrant flows and asylum issues, to be completed and announced within 90 days, if necessary.
Have tariffs become an official weapon for Trump to achieve his geopolitical goals? It would appears so. As Bloomberg notes, US negotiators had been asking Mexico since the election of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in July 2018 to do more to stop the flow of migrants. But it was only in the past week, under the threat of tariffs, that they felt Mexico had begun negotiating seriously, according to a U.S. official.
This also begs the question whether Mexico is in fact - or at least figuratively - "paying for that wall" as Trump had vowed:
“Mexico successfully avoided the catastrophe of tariffs but will pay a heavy price,” said Duncan Wood, director of the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington. “Potentially tens of thousands of refugee claimants will have to wait in Mexico while their claims are processed. Mexico will have to house, employ, educate and provide health care for them. This is a huge commitment” for the government.Mexico’s foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard, who was in the Washington for the talks, said in a tweet that the tariffs wouldn’t be imposed, giving his “Thanks to everyone who has supported us by realizing the greatness of Mexico" and adding previously that the country was prepared to deploy about 6,000 guard troops. And the country already has been hosting asylum seekers while their cases were being processed.
Ebrard also said the resolution was fair. “We reached some middle point,” he said, adding that the two countries will continue discussion for other possible steps in 90 days if needed, an implicit reminder that tensions could flare again if the migrant crisis continues to worsen.
While the U.S. had originally demanded that Central American migrants apply for asylum in Mexico instead of the U.S, Mexico beat back that demand. Also, there was no formal language related to increased purchases of U.S. agricultural products, as Trump promised on Twitter, but on Saturday he used Twitter to announce, in call capital letters, Mexico’s buying plans without providing details.
Of course, the past week's drama has left many of those most upset over Trump’s approach, including some Republicans, questioning whether the turmoil of the last week was really worth it.
The whole episode also had a familiar feel: Trump has repeatedly threatened Mexico over immigration only to back off. First, he said he’d immediately close the southern border over migration. Then he abruptly pivoted in April to a new demand: that the Mexican government stop the flow of illegal drugs into the U.S. within a year or face tariffs on automobiles.
As Bloomberg further notes, this was not the first time the president has faced criticism over his stance on tariffs. What made this time different was just how alone Trump was in his position. The list of opponents to the idea was long: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, farm groups, automakers and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who took the rare step of saying publicly he disagreed with the president. Additionally, opposition to the tariff threat was present even within the Trump administration as Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reportedly opposed them, as did Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the New York Times reported.
Senator Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican opposed to the tariffs, is pleased:
It would seem Chuck Schumer's claim that Trump's tariffs were a bluff are proved wrong.
Shortly afte rthe announcement, relieved Republicans quickly rallied around the president for securing the deal and suggested this could clear the way for Congress to approve the new trade deal between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, known as the USMCA.
“Trump has proven those who doubted him wrong by getting Mexico to step up their efforts to help us secure our southern border,” the No. 2 House Republican, Steve Scalise of Louisiana, said in a statement. “Tonight’s deal made by President Trump also puts us in a better position to make USMCA a reality.”
Most importantly, the deal alleviates a political challenge for McConnell, given that the 2020 electoral map is far less friendly for the GOP than for Democrats.

I do not like the word "stem"...completely STOP this invasion!
Get them off our soil!
Again, "REMAIN IN MEXICO" pertains to invaders that file bogus asylum claims. Way over 80% of the invaders are NOT FILING asylum claims and don't even bother with these sob story credible fear interviews where they repeat their canned stories the National Lawyers Guild writes out for them in Spanish/native Indian language. SO WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THIS OVER 80%????? Trump will continue to fly them all over the nation and dump them in their choice of destinations? GET MY POINT? This new agreement with Mexico pertains to asylees. Most of the invaders ARE NOT asylees. They're just invaders being released because there's not any space to hold them until they see an immigration judge for determination of their status.
Many of them didn't come with the intention of claiming asylum. However, I believe the law allows those caught within the first 12 months of their arrival to claim asylum regardless of how and where they crossed the border. This is a flaw in the law. Technically, only those presenting themselves at a legal port of entry should be allowed to claim asylum. This is one of those loopholes that must be closed! By claiming asylum once caught on our soil they are processed, given a court date and then released. So, even though most of them will not be eligible for asylum they are still allowed to disappear into the fabric of our society (most don't show up for court date).Quote:

After 29 months in office, the Border is a disaster. After 29 months, all we have is some fake agreement with Mexico. Delay, delay, delay.
American consumers bear the cost of the tariffs.
Who would pay for Trump’s tariff hike?
Trump failed to get what he really wanted and that was a safe third country agreement between the United States and Mexico. The agreement would have forced those coming through Mexico to first apply for asylum in that country.
Mexico will "play along" for a week, then it will be back to business as usual.
Load them on buses on the Mexican side and get them away from our border!
