The Renewed Call for Immigration Enforcement

President Donald Trump sent his 70-point immigration enforcement proposal to Congress Sunday evening. If there were any fears that Trump was caving in to Democrat demands on a DACA deal — and there were — this immigration plan will quickly dispel them. Trump’s enforcement plan is arguably the toughest ever offered by any administration. The fundamental theme running throughout the plan is a renewed focus on the primary problem — closing illegal immigration loopholes.

The plan calls for Congress to comprehensively rewrite immigration laws in order to stiffen security enforcement on both the border and interior (remember, as much as 40% of illegals are visa overstays). The plan also calls for changes to laws to cut the so-called migration chain, as well as funding for building the border wall and the hiring of more deportation agents. In brief, Trump’s proposal is a three-part plan that highlights border security, interior enforcement and merit-based immigration.

A senior White House official stated, “Anything that is done addressing the status of DACA recipients needs to include these three reforms and solve these three problems. If you don’t solve these problems, then you’re not going to have a secure border, you’re not going to have a lawful immigration system and you’re not going to be able to protect American workers.”

Like I said. We are coming for you illegals. We are holding Trumps feet to the fire to enforce immigration laws and deport ALL illegals, AND their children. Also the problem of employers hiring them, will soon be dealt with. It is illegal to hire them, which is harboring a fugitive from justice. A Federal crime. You employers are going to face the consequences. You thought nothing would be done about you. Wait and see. I and others are compiling evidence of hiring illegals by employers here on the Eastern Shore. Video and photographs to be given to the proper authorities. Your time is coming.
