    Compared to us you don’t have much of a potential immigration problem - we are also just better at “declining them at the door” than you are !

    AND your country function because of immigration and “illegal immigration”

    - your system function because you can live have people running around working at 7 USD pr hour - luckily for you - there are plenty of 3rd world countries in your proximity!

    But if we wanted - we could take most of Africa’s population in and they would cheer like there was no tomorrow - Africa is 1.6 billion people

    Trump kind of gave you the clue - when he cried about you not getting immigrants from the Scandinavian countries - but only from “shithole countries” - you are the easiest 1st world country to enter and live in illegally - and a lot of third world countries take you up on the offer - because both of you need each other like you were a symbiosis! Believe me - if Trumps project works of purging the black race - you will be in a way worse situation than you already is

    Just a year ago I knew plenty of Danes etc. that would move to the US - but that is just because your culture is our culture - I grew up in the 90s and we watched Beverly Hills 90201 (or what number combination it was) + Friends - we hear American music etc. 

     

    If I should give you any credit as a super power - I would not point to your military - I have read about European armies of the past - that I was more impressed by regarding that ! I would point to the way you have spread your culture and how integrated and romantised it is in our European brains - we are showed Die Hard and Home Alone (1+2) every Christmas for crying out loud and that is every country across Europe  - and the only year Die hard wasn’t shown - people demonstrated in the streets !

     

    If you don’t like tourism or immigration though - I am happy to report that stuff like this isn’t the super power it once was (and by “once” I mean a year ago)

    In a two week period ICE has arrested 650 illegal aliens in West Virginia.

    ICE said in a press release Sunday that the operation ran from Jan. 5 to Jan. 19 and involved 14 federal, state and local law enforcement partners.

    ICE deployed teams to Charleston, Martinsburg, Beckley, Moorefield, Morgantown and Huntington as part of the operation.

    This operation demonstrates how strong partnerships between ICE and West Virginia law enforcement agencies enhance public safety and the integrity of our immigration system," ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia acting Field Office Director Michael Rose said. "By training and supporting our… partners across the state, we’ve expanded local capacity to identify, arrest and process illegal aliens while ensuring these authorities are exercised professionally and consistent with the law."

    What a difference it makes which state you're in.

    Homan announced over 700 feds are withdrawing from Minny.  This follows an agreement between State/local and feds to have County jails notify ICE of criminal aliens set for release, so that they can be picked up while still in custody rather than out on the streets. 

    One may wonder if this arrangement was set from the start, what may have been different....

    Department of homeland security falsely accuses Minnesota prisons of not cooperating with ICE.  For years, Minnesota prisons have been releasing criminals into ICE custody according to New York times.

    What he didn't mention was that over 2,000 ICE thugs remain there.

    This should help make things a little easier for everyone involved up there peace_5 

    I don't understand why anyone would be against removing criminals from the jails versus letting them out on the street and then having the "thugs" go after them.

    Maybe you can explain to me why this administration wants to build detention centers across the country. If indeed someone is here illegally, then there asses should be deported not housed in a jail that taxpayers will pay for in years to come.

    What happened to the rounding up of criminal gang members? That push lasted about a couple of weeks. 

    ICE needs to be abolished, border agents returned to the borders & invading cities uninvited by local authorities needs to stop immediately. ICE has no credibility & putting another thief in charge like Homan just compounds the problem. They are all puppets for the master puppet himself, King Leer.

    @Midnight1

     Everything you just mentioned I never brought up.  You are barking up the wrong tree.  

    I made a simple, clear, non-biased statement.  "This should help make things a little easier for everyone involved up there". 

    Yes, removing FEDs and enabling the "criminals" as you say, to be removed before letting released on the streets, thus reducing the interaction of the "ICE thugs" (again, your words) on said streets.  We've all seen the roving gang tactics.  Do you not want that cleaned up?  

     

    "Maybe you can explain to me why this administration wants to build detention centers across the country. If indeed someone is here illegally, then there asses should be deported not housed in a jail that taxpayers will pay for in years to come.

    Nope sorry, can't explain that, you are informing me of this right now, I know nothing of it.  I agree they should be deported, why would we jail them instead?  I can take an educated guess and it would involve lobbyist, private prisons and money....but please educate me if I'm off base here.  

    What happened to the rounding up of criminal gang members? That push lasted about a couple of weeks. 

    What says they have to be "criminal gang members"?  Why can't just "criminals" be rounded up?  

    ICE needs to be abolished, border agents returned to the borders & invading cities uninvited by local authorities needs to stop immediately. ICE has no credibility & putting another thief in charge like Homan just compounds the problem. They are all puppets for the master puppet himself, King Leer."

    Considering ICE existed before Dumpy, not sure why it "needs to be abolished".  What's wrong with Homan?  All I know about him is that he received a distinguished medal from Deporter in Chief aka Obama back in the pre-Trump days.  He had to have done something right in his role under Obama to achieve this.  Oh yeah I think I remember some story now about Homan stealing money or some fraud deal.  Go figure.  "It's a big club....and you ain't in it".  Corruption knows no colors....red / blue, doesn't matter....

    Hundreds of judges have ruled that Trump mandatory detention policy is illegal.  Unlike previous administrations, controversial policy change requires ICE to arrest all illegal immigrants regardless of no criminal record and how long they lived in the US.  Normally, border crossers have less due process right (such as no bond hearing) than long time residents who contribute as workers, consumers, tax payers and entrepreneurs.  Deportation of the latter has greater economic, social and political consequences.  For example, loss of breadwinner creates more family poverty.  Instead of the worst criminals,  most immigrants in detention pose no threat to society.

    In politico interview,  the longest serving secretary of homeland security comments on Trump immigration mess.  Janet Napolitano says problems are a poor plan from white house, lack of professional leadership and failure to appreciate illegal immigrants are not all the same.  She offers several solutions.  Improve credibility by allowing state and federal investigations of shootings.  Remove all ICE agents not originally assigned to Minnesota and return them to their original states.  ICE leaders stop making public statements instead of rushing to judgement without investigation.  Additional training for ICE agents.

    Good thing she is not in charge anymore for sure.  She went from being castigated as the Arizona Governor and knocked for even being a selection for Homeland chief to being knocked for her immigrant record and immigrant reform, before she headed off to head the University of California.

    But now the Liberals want to go to her to promote their anti-Trump rhetoric, even though she was deporting even more illegals than Trump is and was riling up the illegals and their sympathizers as well.

    Fifth Circuit Court appears split on Mandatory Detention with judge Edith Jones inclined to support it. (They will find where she lives and make her life hell) 

    For decades, the government acknowledged that noncitizens arrested in the interior of the country—as opposed to those coming in at the border—had the right to argue for their release in immigration court.

    But that interpretation is “backwards,” giving greater protections to those who evade authorities and come in illegally as opposed to those who present themselves at ports of entry, said Benjamin Hayes of the US Department of Justice.

    Yep, do the right thing by presenting yourself and you're worse off then sneaking in.

    This probably fits better here....

     

    There are now reports that some locals have set up check points in their neighborhood to see if ICE is there......they're stopping cars & checking ID's. an_roll_laugh

     

     Good lord, these poor bastards have guzzled the koolaid. Think about it.....they've been told by local officials that they should be protecting criminals that are hiding in their own neighborhoods. an_hammer

     It doesn't matter to Walz, Frey, Elison, Klobachar & Co. that two people have already been shot while following their instructions to interfere with LE activities. I guess they won't be happy until these idiots stop the wrong car & more violence ensues.
