Trump: Democrats Have Created A 'Massive Child Smuggling Industry'
Source: Mediate
-snip-
My administration is also acting swiftly to address the illegal immigration crisis on the southern border, he continued. Loopholes and our immigration laws all supported by extremist open border Democrats. Thats what they are, extremist, open border Democrats.
He then specifically named House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and (of course) Hillary Clinton as leading a con job on immigration by saying they wanted closed borders, and then that they wanted open ones.
Weve created theyve created and theyve let it happen, a massive child smuggling industry, Trump insisted. Thats exactly what its become. Traffickers, you think about this, human traffickers are making a fortune. Its a disgrace.
Theyre the worst immigration laws in the history of the world, he later said. The whole world is laughing at the United States and they have been for years. These alien minors were separated and sent all the way up here alone. But they really came up with coyotes do you know what a coyote is? Not good. These are not good people. They were set up here with human traffickers because the Democrat-supported policies that have allowed this to happen, he reiterated.

Can we stop with slamming Democrats on this site when Republicans are literally kidnapping infants?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) removed approximately 226,000 people from the country in the 2017 fiscal year, which ended on Sept. 30, down 6 percent from the previous year. The 2017 deportations were lower than at any time during the Obama administration, according to previous DHS statistics.
But ICE officers arrested far more suspected illegal immigrants in the months after President Donald Trump took office than in the same period last year. Between Jan. 20 and Sept. 30, the agency arrested nearly 111,000 people, a 42 percent increase over the prior year.
One reason for the decrease in deportations was that fewer people appeared to be trying to cross U.S. borders illegally. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported approximately 311,000 apprehensions in the 2017 fiscal year and 216,000 people trying to enter at official ports of entry despite being inadmissible. That was down 23.7 percent from the previous year.

Denials of asylum by immigration judges continued to rise last year. As of the end of September 2016, overall asylum denial rates for FY 2016 had risen to 57 percent. See Figure 1. The number of asylum cases decided last year also increased nearly twenty percent to 22,186 cases, up from 18,581 cases decided in FY 2015. Details are shown in Table 1.

Data from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement show that overall, fewer people were deported in fiscal year 2017 than in 2016 (fiscal year 2017 included nearly four months of the Obama administration). Overall removal numbers include individuals arrested by ICE in the interior of the country and individuals apprehended by immigration officials at the border and turned over to ICE for removal.
Despite the overall removals drop, more people who already lived in the United States were deported in fiscal year 2017 compared with 2016.
"The president made it clear in his executive orders: Theres no population off the table," ICE acting director Thomas Homan said on Dec. 5. "If youre in this country illegally, were looking for you and were going to look to apprehend you."
Homan attributed the overall decline in deportations to a border thats "under better control." There were fewer southwest border apprehensions in fiscal year 2017 than in 2016, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

As someone who worked for a large Service Company,we always heard about how our Private Prison Unit was coming up with new ideas just to drive Profits.

(11,885 posts)Maybe this is what he's been involved in or now doing. He accuses others of what he's doing a lot of the time. He often projects what he's doing onto others like he did many times during the campaign. remember she corrupt, she's putins puppet, he's a liar, She committed crimes with her emails, he's wiretapping me, all probably things he, or has others involved in for him.

I am surprised he could not find a way to work Barbara Streisand, George Soros, Jesse Jackson, and Jane Fonda into his fantasy immigration scheme somehow and that the secret meeting place is in San Francisco California,
Instead of responding directly, I would question GOP legislators if they believe such wild allegations and, if so, what proof can they provide. Paul Ryan gets really bristly at these types of questions, as do Senators like Orrin Hatch. Make them squirm to support such nonsense spewing from the mouth of the head of their party.

(455 posts)Past years of illegal immigration data show a close split between male and female children who come to the US. The Trump Administration is claiming there are more than twice as many boys in custody. The disparity is suspicious. Between Drumphs history of projection and the fact that the feds aren't allowing access to the girls they DO have, I'm genuinely scared for these kids.
I would not be in the least bit surprised to find out there were child sex trafficking rings within ICE or Border Patrol.

(6,139 posts)there is no child tracking on purpose. No bill is coming through. They will continue separations after 20 days. Theyll deport adults but retain kids and all babies. massive organ transplantation network. Pharmaceutical companies will conduct clinical trials. All those white supremacists alt righters can now come out of the shadows because they can be employed, trumps has tons of job openings for them.
There is a pattern I noticed. With trump we always assume the worst but no matter how hard we try it always turns out to be worse than we thought.
