SAN YSIDRO, Calif. — It was never like this before. The migrants come now in the middle of the night or in the bright light of day. Men and women arrive by the hundreds, caked with dirt, with teens and toddlers in tow. They jump the small fences in remote parts of Texas, and they gather on the hot pavement at the main border crossing in California. Tired and fearful, they look for the one thing that they pray will allow them to stay in the United States, at least for a while: a Border Patrol agent.

Glenn Beck was on Hannity´s show last night. He and his group have been doing research for a year on the illegal problem and they found an organization in Chicago is who is funding and making all the arrangements for this mass of humanity to ruin this country. Of course Soros is involved also. Glenn has a book about it but I don´t remember the name of the book. I would also add the religious orgs. who are making a killing off the illegals.

The President needs to proclaim that those who cheat their way into this country - be it by crossing illegally, making a bogus claim of asylum, committing immigration fraud, or overstaying their visa - are still here illegally and subject to deportation. And drive the point home.

The reason that the asylum officers are approving so-called “credible fear” cases during initial interviews up to levels of about 75% is that the credible fear guidelines put in place under the very liberal Obama Administration stacked those rules greatly in favor of all illegal alien’s self-serving claims. In other words the illegal alien must always be given the benefit of a doubt, and be allowed to enter the USA to pursue an asylum claim in the immigration courts, that takes years before a final court ruling is rendered, and that about 93% of the time has been adverse to the illegal aliens who use poverty and the possibility of becoming a crime victim in their home countries as their reasons for applying for asylum, that do not meet the lawful requirements to merit a grant of asylum in the USA.
The real Democrat socialist motive for placing such killer loopholes in the asylum laws that negate the effective enforcement of the immigration laws, is to get as many poor, uneducated, and socialist minded people from the underdeveloped world into the USA, where most will abscond, in order to eventually change the US national voter demographics to the point where the Democrat socialists would gain enough foreign born voters and their votes to be able to remain in permanent political power and transform the USA into some sort of socialist utopia.
The wimpy Republicans enamored by so much cheap foreign labor getting into the country that could easily be hired at low wages by their business supporters do not have a clue that if the Democrat plan continues to succeed that they are headed for political oblivion.

The self- aggrandizing pols have made it EXACTLY what it is today! ...First they enacted the Immigration Laws and the Border Patrol to enforce those very laws. This worked well for all concerned for many years. But during the past several decades, the Congress has ignored their own Rule of Law in many areas, including immigration, which has kept this country civil. Without respect for the Law in Congress, civility has been in decline and ILLEGAL immigration has become a disaster which now threatens the very fabric of America. How long will the Congress ignore such disrespect for the, Law, national security and the Founders goal of Liberty and domestic tranquility?!
MAGA!

The mechanism of government has not been effectively applied to hunt down illegals, not at all.
One method that would easily locate all working illegals with fake papers is to have Social Security go through it´s records and flag all accounts with funds flowing in from different states to the same SS number. Apparently many illegals use the same SS number as part of their fake IDs. Payments from multiple states are almost certainly illegals with fake SS cards, easily discovered, IF YOU LOOK.
But, I bet that SS folks are in favor of letting this slide, and the benefit is getting more money in by people who are not really going to use the SS retirement, so that $$ won´t be paid out, so supporting the SS system a bit more.
All these fake IDs can be discovered if any actual effort was made to sort through IRS and SS records of taxes paid by employers.

Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens with accompanying foreign children, who are really economic migrants, have been allowed into the USA based upon the credible fear factor as indicated in posting #8.
What ever happened to those illegal aliens? Most traveled into the interior of the USA to reside with illegal alien friends and relatives who sent the new illegal aliens the money to pay the people smugglers who brought them to the borderline. A lot of that money sent abroad by illegal aliens residing in the USA to intending illegal aliens is IRS tax refund and child tax money that is repaid to the sender after the intending illegal aliens arrive in the USA.
Upon arriving in the interior of the country, those new illegal aliens, will usually procure either bogus or fraudulent ID documents, and maybe a US drivers license either in their own name or in an alias that they present to prospective employers to get a US job, by defrauding the purposefully incompetent government created employee verification system.
Those illegal alien households try to have as many babies born in the USA as possible, one a year if possible, who will be considered to be US citizens at birth, and can be used as legal equities against being deported if that day ever comes. Having a US citizen baby also qualifies the entire illegal alien household for Medicaid, social welfare benefits and food stamps derived through the US citizen baby.
When it comes time to appear at an immigration court hearing, about 85% never appear, and of those who do appear and pursue an asylum claim about 93% are finally denied as not meeting the requirements of the asylum laws. Almost all then disappear into immigrant communities to await amnesty.
