President Trump Considering Executive Action to End Family Breakup of Illegal Immigrants

From: The Political Insider

 By Jim E | June 20, 2018


President Trump has had enough of the media’s onslaught of critical coverage of his immigration policies. The “zero tolerance” approach to illegal immigrants, which is seeing all adults arrested who attempt to illegally enter the country, and forced separation from minors who accompany them, has brought explosive attention to the Administration.

The coverage has been so critical that Administration officials are actually being accosted in public by violent, loathsome liberals.

Trump has been asking Congress to pass a permanent fix to the border crisis and reunite the families. But lawmakers have been dragging their feet. Now, we’ve just gotten word that Trump may enact a quick fix to the situation via executive action. The news comes via John Roberts of Fox News:
The order is reportedly being drafted:
Oddly enough, this is exactly the kind of fix congressional Democrats have been urging. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has called on Trump to fix the immigration issue via executive action:
This is a short-sighted move that doesn’t actually fix the crisis at the border. The problem with what’s going on at the border stems from a series of court decisions, executive actions, federal statutes, and a Congress too cowardly to actually pass a comprehensive solution. 

Whatever action Trump takes will be challenged in court. It will be a Band-Aid – not an antibiotic, which Congress needs to pass.

If Trump takes unilateral action, that will take the pressure off Congress to pass an actual solution to the ongoing situation.

What’s happening at the southern border is hard for all Americans to watch. But we need a real fix to the heartbreaking circumstances. An executive order won’t cut it.

UPDATE – John Roberts reports that Trump is also being lobbied by Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen to accept an expedited bill to end family separation from Congress:

The Media Lies Against Trump’s ‘Child Separation’ Policy Keep Coming

From: Constitution

 By Warner Todd Huston June 19, 2018


The nation has seen two full days, now, of the left-wing media disgorging one bald-faced lie after another while pretending to “report” on the Trump administration’s policies for minors brought illegally over the border. The lies are so thick and the “reporting” so shrill that if you had any doubt that the media is not for “news” but is solely an adjunct to the Democrat party, you can retire any such doubts.

Firstly, the policy of separating children from criminal illegal adults is not a new policy. It has been around at least since the 1990s. So, when the lying liberal media keeps saying “Trump’s policy” this and that, you know they are lying. Trump did nothing other than enforce the rule. But it is one that Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all enforced to one degree or another.

Indeed, one of the rules for holding children who came here with illegal criminals was written in 1997. It is called the Flores Consent Decree, a rule from 1997 which says that unaccompanied immigrant children can be held for 20 days. But a later Ninth Circuit ruling extended the 20-day period to children who come as part of illegal alien family groups, too. So, as you see, this is a matter of law, not any sort of “new” Trump policy.

Indeed, what we are generally dealing with is illegals bringing kids who are not their own across the border with the expectation that these kids will afford them a free pass to get into the U.S.A.

Take the case of the illegal woman recently caught trying to get into the U.S. with a handful of kids. When border patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector detained her they found that three of the children she was traveling with were not her own children.

It is cases like this that has the U.S. Department of Homeland Security insisting that it has done nothing extra-legal or immoral with its policies.

“We will not apologize for the job we do or for the job law enforcement does, for doing the job that the American people expect us to do,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said before the National Sheriffs’ Association in New Orleans. “Illegal actions have and must have consequences. No more free passes, no more get-out-of-jail-free cards.”

National Review added:
Nielsen went on to decry inaccurate media portrayals of the Trump administration’s enforcement policy, which requires the detention and prosecution of all individuals caught crossing the border illegally. The policy has resulted in the separation of roughly 2,000 children from their parents, who are in detention awaiting trial.
The separations have been attacked as immoral by congressional Democrats and a handful of Republicans, who advocate a return to the previous policy of releasing individuals awaiting trial for trying to immigrate illegally with their children. But Nielsen placed blame for family separations squarely on lawmakers, citing legislative inaction on immigration reform as the central obstacle to changing the system. She also suggested that previous administrations are partly to blame for incentivizing child trafficking by providing “free passes” to adults who try to cross the border with children.
“From October 2017 to this February, we have seen a staggering 315 percent increase in illegal aliens fraudulently using children to pose as family units to gain entry into this country,” she said. “This must stop. All this does is put the children at risk. To address these issues we’ve asked Congress to change the law to allow for the expeditious return of unaccompanied children, regardless of their country of origin. We are also asking Congress to allow us to keep families together while they are detained.”
The fact is, we have only two choices where it concerns our border policy. One, we continue with the Obama-styled policy of essentially having no border at all and enticing millions of people to chance the extremely dangerous conditions in the attempt to get here, or, two, we can enforce our rules and prevent people from wanting to chance those dangerous conditions.

The truth is, the presidential culprit is Obama. It is Obama’s dangerous polices that created the perilous situation. It’s time we put an end to it all. If anyone is at fault for separating kids at the border, it’s Obama’s fault.

But what happens? We get liars in the media pretending that they care about these migrant kids and literally crying about our policies.

Take CBS’ Gayle King who falsely invoked the Statue of Liberty. As Breitbart reported:
Monday at a border patrol facility in McAllen, TX on “CBS This Morning,” co-host Gayle King said the Statue of Liberty is “weeping right now” over the separating of immigrant children from their families.
King said “We arrived yesterday afternoon. We went straight to the facility, the location where kids and their parents were reunited. All I can say after talking to the people, watching the people, listening to the people, that the Statue of Liberty I think is weeping right now. It’s unbelievable the stories we’ve heard.”
She added, “We’re standing in front of a converted warehouse. This is the first stop for many undocumented families caught at the southern border. It’s where federal officials are trying to weed out criminals. An executive officer at the center told us a 55,000-square-foot facility can hold about 1,500 people. This is a very nondescript building. It’s not marked. And it is deliberately not marked. Yesterday, more than 1,000 people were being processed here. That includes more than 500 families and 197 unaccompanied children.”
It is clear King is trying act as if the poem on the famed statue — “give us your tired, your poor, your illegals sneaking in with fake children” — is somehow both an American first principle and our immigration policy.

The fact is, Emma Lazarus’ airy poem was not even part of the Statue of Liberty until 1903, 17 years after the statue was erected. Furthermore, her socialist-inspired poem (Lazarus was an avowed socialist) never formed any part of our national immigration policy. The truth is, we have always blocked some group or another from coming here.

Then there was the left-wing outburst from Kasie Hunt, a supposed “reporter” from NBC. She jumped to her overheated Twitter account to make this proclamation:
Kaise Hunt is a liar and she is advocating for policy, here, not “reporting” on it.

The airwaves are filled with liars and shills like King and Hunt.

But, in the end, Breitbart’s Brandon Darby had the best retort to the left-wingers lying about these immigration policies. Darby has been creating first-hand reporting from the border for years, now, and no one alive today knows more about what is really going on down there than Darby.

Darby had a fantastic Twitter thread that you just have to see. Darby showed us dozens of photos taken during the Obama era of the same holding facilities the media is suddenly all concerned about.

Thanks to Twitchy:
Well, you get the picture. There are DOZENS more of Brandon’s photos from the Obama era on his Twitter feed. Dozens.

What we are seeing is the left’s lies written in photos because not a single so-called mainstream news outlet published Mr. Darby’s photos during the Obama era. Indeed, not a single “news” outlet talked about Obama’s warehousing of kids brought here by illegals. So, what is different between today and those few years ago? Well, today the media can use the story as a weapon to destroy President Donald Trump.

When the media claims they care about the kids, know that they are liars.

We Swore We Would Never Forget 9/11. But We Did.

From: Brittany Hughes - mrctv



Sixteen years ago, 2,606 people were killed when two planes slammed into the World Trade Center in New York City.

Another 125 died when a third plane hit the Pentagon. Forty more were killed when hijacked flight United 93 crashed in a Pennsylvania field.

We all sat there glued to our box TVs, watching the whole nightmare, most of us completely helpless to do a thing.

Do you remember our reaction 16 years ago today? In the months after 9/11, there was barely a car on the road that didn't have an American flag bumper sticker.

Today, we can't even fly Old Glory at a baseball game without someone getting offended.

Sixteen years ago we watched proudly as a group of New York City firefighters raised a American flag over the rubble at Ground Zero.

Today, left-wing rioters burn American flags in the streets.

Sixteen years ago, millions of Americans were introduced to Islamic extremism for the very first time.

Today, you can't even say the words Islamic extremism without being accused of bigotry and hate.

Sixteen years ago, our nation was attacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists, all of whom were foreign and at least three of which were here illegally.

Now at the time, we were outraged. But today, if you dare to say that immigrants should be thoroughly vetted, that foreign visitors must obey our visa laws, and that illegal aliens should be removed, you're a hateful xenophobic Nazi.

Sixteen years ago, we as a nation promised that we would never forget 9/11. But we did. We forgot.

Every time some bleeding heart liberal apologizes for Islamic violence, every time a sanctuary city leaves us open to foreign threats by deliberately ignoring our immigration laws, every time some attention-whoring athlete or overpaid celebrity gets famous off insulting a nation that has given them so mush, we forget.

Sixteen years ago , 2,977 innocent people died in a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, and we forgot.

And it is high time we started remembering.

May God bless those who lost loved ones on 9/11, whose hearts still ache every year on this day.

And may God, in His mercy, bless the United States of America.

The Salty Sailor


In the U.S. Navy, the term "Salty Sailor" is in common use to describe a sailor of good ability and little or no social graces.  Some would call a salty sailor "rude, crude and unattractive."

TRUMP: The Salty Sailor


The views this mother has about Donald Trump are much like many others.

Her characterization of Trump as the "Salty Sailor" or as "The Fireman"  paint an excellent picture!!. 


She has written many great books about her son and family.


Comment from KAREN VAUGHN Mother of Aaron Vaughn, Navy Seal, killed during operation enduring freedom in Afghanistan on Aug. 6, 2011 when the CH-47 Chinook helicopter in which he was riding was shot down.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

  The Salty Sailor


 

" Sometimes we need the no-nonsense, salty sailor to get the job done.

 Appreciating what the man is doing doesn't mean we worship the salty sailor or even desire to be like the salty sailor. It doesn't even mean we admire the salty sailor. Maybe we just know that he's necessary for such a time as this.


I believe with all my heart that we need the salty sailor in the White House and he gave this nation one more chance in November 2016


Donald Trump is what he is. He is still the man that he was before the election. And without guilt, I very much admire what that salty sailor is accomplishing.


He's not like me. That's okay with me. I don't want to be like him. I will never behave like him. I know we've NEVER had a man like him lead our nation. It's crazy and a little mind blowing at times. But I can't help admire the ability he has to act with his heart rather than a calculated, PC, think tank-screened, carefully edited script.  

I still believe that is WHY he became our President and WHY he's been able to handle a landslide of adversity and STILL pass unprecedented amounts of good legislation for our country AND do great works for MANY other nations, including Israel.


I'm THRILLED with what he's doing for my nation, and for the concept of rebuilding America and putting her FIRST. I will not be ashamed of my position because others don't see him through the same lens.


Should it matter to me if a Fireman drops an f-bomb while he's pulling me from a burning building? Would I really care about what came out of his mouth in those moments? Heck no! I'd CARE about what he was DOING.


He wasn't sent there to save my soul and I'm not looking to him for spiritual guidance. All I'm thinking in those moments is, "Thanks, that I have the Salty Sailor for a Fireman."


This man is crass. Okay. He's not careful with what he says Okay. You feel offended that he's not a typical statesman. Okay. But he is rebuilding the nation my son died for...the nation I feared was on a fast track to becoming a hopeless cause. Forgive me if I'm smiling."

Kanye and Democrats

From: TownHall
Walter E. Williams
Walter E. Williams - May 16, 2018
 
 
In the aftermath of the Kanye West dust-up, my heart goes out to the white people who control the Democratic Party. My pity stems from the hip-hop megastar's November announcement to his packed concert audience that he did not vote in the presidential election but if he had, he would have voted for Donald Trump. Then, on April 21, West took to his Twitter account, which has 28 million followers, to announce, "I love the way Candace Owens thinks." Owens is Turning Point USA's director of urban engagement and has said that former President Barack Obama caused "damage" to race relations in the United States during his two terms in office.

West's support for Trump, along with his criticism of the "plantation" mentality of the Democratic Party, has been met with vicious backlash from the left. In one song, West raps, "See, that's the problem with this damn nation. All blacks gotta be Democrats. Man, we ain't made it off the plantation." Rep. Maxine Waters said West "talks out of turn" and advised, "He should think twice about politics -- and maybe not have so much to say." The bottom-line sin that West has committed is questioning the hegemony of the Democratic Party among black Americans. The backlash has been so bad that West had to hire personal security to protect him against threats made against his life. Fortunately, the police are investigating those threats.

Kanye West is not saying anything different from what Dr. Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Jason Riley, I and other black libertarians/conservatives have been saying for decades. In fact, West has tweeted quotations from Sowell, such as "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it" and "The most basic question is not what is best but who shall decide what is best." Tweeting those Sowell quotations represents the highest order of blasphemy in the eyes of leftists.

The big difference between black libertarians/conservatives and West is that he has 28 million Twitter followers and a huge audience of listeners whereas few blacks have even heard of libertarian/conservative blacks outside of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. (I might add in passing that Dr. Thomas Sowell is one of the nation's most distinguished and accomplished scholars alive today.)

The Kanye problem for the Democratic Party is that if the party doesn't keep blacks in line and it loses even 20 to 25 percent of the black vote, it can kiss any hope of winning any presidential and many congressional elections goodbye. Democrats may have already seen that threat. That's why they support illegal immigration and voting rights for noncitizens. Immigrants from south of the border who are here illegally may be seen as either a replacement for or a guarantee against the disaster of losing the black vote.

Keeping blacks blind to the folly of unquestioned support for the Democratic Party by keeping blacks fearful, angry and resentful and painting the Republican Party as racist is vital. Democrats never want blacks to seriously ask questions about what the party has done for them. Here are some facts. The nation's most troublesome and dangerous cities -- Indianapolis, Stockton, Oakland, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Kansas City, Baltimore, Memphis, St. Louis and Detroit -- have been run by Democrats, often black Democrats, for nearly a half-century. These and other Democratic-run cities are where blacks suffer the highest murder rates and their youngsters attend the poorest-performing and most unsafe schools.

Democrats could never afford for a large number of black people to observe, "We've been putting you in charge of our cities for decades. We even put a black Democrat in the White House. And what has it meant for us? Plus, the president you told us to hate has our unemployment rate near a record low." It turns out that it's black votes that count more to black and white politicians than black well-being, black academic excellence and black lives. As for black politicians and civil rights leaders, if they're going to sell their people down the river to keep Democrats in power, they ought to demand a higher price.

Why Hasn’t John Kerry Been Arrested? He Has Leftist Privilege

From: PJ Media

 By Robert Spencer May 7, 2018


Like Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State John Kerry apparently enjoys the immunity from prosecution that being a powerful Leftist brings you today.

The Boston Globe revealed Friday that Kerry is working hard to sabotage President Trump’s foreign policy regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. Kerry reportedly “sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program.”

This was not, apparently, a one-off meeting between Kerry and the foreign minister of the regime that orders its citizens to chant “Death to America” in mosques every Friday: “It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person briefed on the meetings.”

Further, the Globe reported that Kerry has not limited his shadow diplomacy to Zarif: “[Kerry] also met last month with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and he’s been on the phone with top European Union official Federica Mogherini … Kerry has also met with French President Emmanuel Macron in both Paris and New York, conversing over the details of sanctions and regional nuclear threats in both French and English.”

Today, Kerry’s spokesperson confirmed the meetings -- but danced around admitting his behavior:
Why? Because John Kerry must know he has put himself in violation of a never-prosecuted federal law that only seems to be mentioned when a conservative is involved -- for example, see what former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates said about Michael Flynn.

The Logan Act forbids unauthorized people from engaging in negotiations with foreign governments that are involved in disputes with the United States. The Logan Act’s intention is to prevent those unauthorized negotiations from undermining the position of the U.S. government.

Isn’t that exactly what Kerry is doing? Shouldn’t he be arrested and prosecuted?

He will not be. Kerry’s deep state peers think he is right, are hoping for his success, and couldn’t care less about the Logan Act. Just like they couldn’t care less about the security of classified State Department documents when they showed up on Anthony Wiener’s laptop next to his naughty selfies.

Kerry’s friends who are still employed in the U.S. government won’t be roused to care about the Logan Act unless one of their own is back in the White House, and, say, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo goes around the world drumming up support for the Trumpian foreign policy that the neo-Obama in the Oval Office is busy dismantling.

Pompeo is unlikely to do that, of course, because he, unlike Kerry and others on the Left, actually respects the law. But were he or some other member of the Trump administration to do what Kerry is doing now, the media outcry would be immediate and insistent, calling for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator -- and that arrest would likely soon follow.

The law in the United States is for the little people, and for conservatives.

Popular culture is obsessed these days with a “white privilege” that extends even to the shampoo bottles in hotels (who knew?). But the most heinous example of privilege in today’s society is one that no one talks about: Leftist privilege.

If you’re a Leftist and want to start a not-for-profit organization, no problem. Only conservative organizations got buried in mountains of red tape and hobbled by unexplained delays by the IRS.

If you’re a Leftist and start a news website, you’ll have loads of readers referred to your site from Facebook, Twitter and the rest. Only conservative sites are being systematically blocked.

If you’re a Leftist president, you can oversee a corrupt and lawless administration for eight years and then brag about how your presidency was “scandal-free.” You won’t hear a murmur of dissent from an establishment media that worked hard throughout those years to make sure that as few people as possible knew about your scandals.

And if you’re John Kerry, you can traverse the globe doing everything you can to undermine the foreign policy of the United States government, secure in the confidence that you will not face any consequences at all. You’re John Kerry. You’re a made man in the Leftist political elite. You could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and awaken the next morning to adoring headlines in the New York Times and the Washington Post.


God bless,
