This is the equivalent of an entire town or small city entering invading the US; every 2 months it’s the equivalent to the population of Orlando FL coming across the border.
The stress these illegals are putting on CBP as well as the communities, social welfare system, hospitals, law enforcement etc is unsustainable. The democrats response to this invasion was to pass 2 amnesty bills in the House June 4th with the help of 7 turncoat republicans. As warned on this site, the democrats are executing the Cloward-Piven strategy on a massive scale to collapse the US through illegal immigration.
The time for talk and debate is over. Since Congress is choosing not to take immediate action to secure the border Pres Trump should once again use the law to close the border down. More specifically he should use the same law he, and other Presidents, used for the Travel Ban (aka Muslim Ban) 8 US Code § 1182 – Inadmissible aliens –
“…(f) Suspension of Entry or Imposition of Restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.”
POTUS can declare anyone illegally entering the US from 144++ countries along the border inadmissible. Who cares if those countries whine and complain they have no control over us, and frankly they get financial aid from the US which must also be cut off immediately.
It’s time for American citizens, tired of the ruling elites deliberate inaction to secure our nation, to engage in mass protests, sit-ins, recall elections (if possible), acts of civil disobedience. WE must send the message that they answer to and work for us, not the other way around. You moderate democrats sitting on the sidelines thinking this is all good just wait, reality will set in when the stress of illegals are putting on this country ends up at your front door.
