Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is pushing amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in the United States in response to President Donald Trump’s newly announced self-deportation program. On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the launch of a program that will provide illegal aliens with a $1,000 stipend after they have proven to federal officials that they self-deported from the United States using the CBP Home mobile app. Similar self-deportation programs, Breitbart News reported, have been adopted by European countries such as Germany, Denmark, and Sweden with much success in cutting illegal immigration. In response, Gallego suggested he opposed self-deportations and instead offered an amnesty plan

Conditions that need to be met for amnesty of illegal aliens: 1) Can never vote 2) Can never receive welfare 3) Any felony is instant deportation 4) Must learn English 5) Must pay for their kids to attend school 6) Not eligible for Obamacare. take the money being offered and leave.

Any sort of so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform that amounts to a massive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens pushed by the leftist and progressive Democrats, will only encourage and invite millions of future illegal aliens to seek unlawful entry to the USA the next time the leftist and progressive Democrats gain power again in the White House. That is just common sense. The big reason the leftist and progressive Democrats continually call for such massive across the board amnesties is to grant those millions of amnestied llegal aliens on a “path to citizenship” and to transform them into future US citizens and leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters as possible to keep the leftist and progressive Democrats in indefinite political power on into the future.

This was the plan all along. Get as many bodies into the US as possible and then mass amnesty. Amnesty is so much simpler than messing with the courts and all that stuff. And immediately mail them democrat voter ID cards.

Evidently, Democrats have not the ability to think. What part of illegal is hard to understand for them? Illegals have no rights to anything. Send them home or to prison where they can make something useful to pay for their keep.

When you hear of the leftist and progressive Democrats talk about “Due Process” for illegal aliens, they never go into detail on that supposed proposal. That’s because the leftist and progressive Democrats actually believe that every illegal alien, who has never been in the USA before, who climbs over the top of the borderline barrier also known as Trump’s wall, and who falls down onto US soil or otherwise thereafter gets into the USA, should have the “due process” to file appeals and motions indefinitely, while being represented by US Government paid liberal immigration lawyers who are aligned to the leftist and progressive Democrats, up through both the administrative and criminal court systems all the way to the US Supreme Court. Common sense will tell you that if the leftist and progressive Democrats were to get their way, at numbers approaching 15 million individual cases, such a mass of cases would ensure that very few illegal aliens would ever be deported until they got 12-15 years of leftist and progressive Democrat called for “due process”. Obviously the reason that the leftist and progressive Democrats made such a proposal because they do not want any illegal aliens to deported, but instead intend that all illegal aliens should instead be granted amnesty, and should be transformed into future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters, leading to them being granted voters rights in future years. The way to unclog the administrative immigration courts is to limit “due process” in those courts only to illegal aliens who have been admitted to the USA while in possession of some sort of non-immigrant (temporary) visa or through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) or an immigrant (permanent) visa should have the “due process” to have their cases heard by the Administrative Courts. With all other illegal aliens who last entered the USA by sneaking into the USA by way of the borderline should have their “due process” limited to an appearance before an immigration officer who is a especially trained “Special Inquiry Officer” who has the authority to determine if the illegal alien gained unlawful entry to the USA without being inspected and admitted to the USA by an immigration officer. Once the Special Inquiry Officer makes his or she decision that the alien last entered the USA by jumping the borderline, that illegal alien should be brought to the borderline and removed from the USA.

As the Associated Press reported, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden judge from Seattle, on Monday ordered the Trump administration to admit around 12,000 refugees into America under a court order partially barring the president’s attempts to suspend the nation’s refugee admissions program. At the same time, he ignored the possibility that these refugees could pose a threat to America. “This Court will not entertain the Government’s result-oriented rewriting of a judicial order that clearly says what it says,”

A group of anti-Israel protesters occupied a building at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle on Monday before police in riot gear intervened and arrested at least 30 of them, according to officials. The protesters occupied an engineering building on campus for hours and demanded that the school divest from Boeing, the large aerospace and defense manufacturer which has a long history with the university. Video from the scene shows several dumpsters on fire as police moved in to regain control of the building after the demonstrators had locked themselves inside.

President Donald Trump met with newly-elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House on Tuesday. The two leaders discussed a myriad of issues, including tariffs and the possibility of the nation becoming the 51st US state. The high-stakes talks came amid the prospect of a trade war between the two nations. The two leaders discussed some of these matters during a joint press conference. At one point, a reporter asked, “Is there anything he can say to you in the course of your meetings with him today that would get you to lift tariffs on Canada?” Trump’s reply was blunt: “No.” “Why not?” the reporter asked.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that India has agreed to remove all its tariffs on US goods entering the country. The president made the announcement during a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. While addressing reporters, Trump noted that India has “the highest tariffs in the world” and that its government “agreed already to drop it.” They'll drop it to nothing. They've already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me. So we're going to put down some numbers, and we're going to say, ‘Our country is open for business,’ and they're going to come in, and they're going to pay.

Officers initially conducted a traffic stop at about 7:15 p.m. after identifying a vehicle whose owner had both an active warrant and a suspended driver's license. After officers detained the driver, police then discovered a raccoon named "Chewy" sitting in the driver's seat with a meth pipe in its mouth, police reported. Officers further inspected the vehicle after that discovery and ended up finding a "bulk amount" of meth, crack cocaine and three used glass meth pipes.

When 2013 hit, it gained about 530,000 square miles of ice. Still, the con is on with the Green Left, who claims they were on the verge of total destruction. In the 1970s, global cooling and North American re-glaciation would imperil humanity. They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now.
