Immigration Failure -- By Design

Immigration Failure -- By Design
Doing the bidding of the Open Borders anarchists.

The Obama administration's immigration policies, including outrageous executive orders and other such directives, have hobbled all efforts at immigration law enforcement. “Surges” of unaccompanied minors across our nation's southern border, the release of thousands of illegal aliens who have serious criminal convictions -- for crimes of violence, including rape, weapons possession, drug offenses and even homicide -- have made it clear that the term “immigration law enforcement” is now a virtual oxymoron.

Now the Obama administration, to the consternation of Americans across the United States, is preparing to admit at least 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States with less scrutiny than ever before. This was the focus of my April 15, 2016 article for FrontPage Magazine, “How Obama's Refugee Policies Undermine National Security: Obama orders 'shields down' in the wake of a succession of deadly terror attacks.”

Furthermore, the huge quantities of heroin and cocaine present in towns and cities across our nation lay waste to the administration’s absurd lie that our borders have never been more secure.

On June 27, 2015, CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) posted my article, “Heroin Epidemic: The Real Metric for Determining Border Security.” In my judgment, the failures of our immigration system, while devastating to America and Americans, is actually a twisted “success story” for organizations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a laundry list of other organizations and individuals that are intent on flooding America with huge numbers of foreign workers, tourists and students to maximize profits at an extraordinary price: obliterating the “American Dream” and even, all too often, costing Americans their very lives.

...

Their proposals often run directly opposite the findings and recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, especially the notion that since we cannot deport all of the millions of illegal aliens, we must provide them with lawful status even though we have no way of verifying their identities or backgrounds.

Such a massive legalization program would do irreparable damage to national security. While the southern border must be made secure, the entire immigration system must have integrity -- yet this is an issue that is almost never discussed by anyone. None of the terrorists of 9/11 ran the border. Most terrorists entered the United States through international airports.

The lack of integrity to the immigration system enabled terrorists to enter the United States and commit immigration fraud - enabling some to be granted political asylum, lawful immigrant status and even, in some instances, United States citizenship just months before carrying out terror attacks.

Cheap labor is not cheap after all, but it comes with an extraordinary price.

Mebbe finally some good news - Mexican immigration beginning to wane...

11.5M Mexican Immigrants, Both Legal and Illegal, Living in U.S., Report Says
August 12, 2016 – The number of Mexicans immigrants living in the U.S. has largely stabilized at approximately 11.5 million, according to a recently released report by Mexico’s BBVA Bancomer Foundation. In fact, the number has slightly declined since 2012, according to the 2015 report that takes an annual look at Mexican migration and remittances patterns.

The number of Mexican immigrants, both legal and illegal, living in the U.S., dropped by 400,000 between 2012 and 2014. The number has stabilized between 11.1 and 11.9 million since 2005, standing at 11.5 million in 2014, according to the report. The percentage of the U.S. population born to parents of Mexican origin, however, is growing. The report found that the number of 2nd and 3rd generation Mexicans living in the U.S. grew by 3.5 million between 2009 and 2014, to 24.3 million. Overall, the report noted that the number of persons of Mexican origin living in the U.S.—meaning individuals born in Mexico or born to a Mexican parent or parents--had doubled since 1994 when it was 17.8 million, growing to 35.8 million in 2014. The report found a significant decline in the number of Mexicans living in the US illegally who were returned by immigration authorities to Mexico voluntarily. Experts say authorities are using formal deportation measures more frequently.

They attribute the trend in fewer voluntary returns to Mexico to both fewer illegal border crossings by Mexicans and a change in practices by U.S. immigration authorities. “Where once unauthorized immigrants were permitted to voluntarily depart, and did so within hours of apprehension, the use of what the Department of Homeland Security refers to as the Consequence Delivery System in recent years has resulted in greater sanctions employed against unauthorized crossers,” explained Michelle Mittelstadt, communications director for the Migration Policy Institute. Those sanctions, she said, include resorting to “formal removal proceedings.” Mittelstadt also noted that illegal border crossings by Mexicans are now at a 50-year low. “A number of factors are responsible for declining unauthorized Mexican migration to the U.S.—an improving Mexican economy and educational picture that result in better professional opportunities at home and the decline in birth rates in Mexico, among them,” she explained.

The cost of deporting one person can be as high as $12,000, said David Fitzgerald, a professor of sociology and co-director of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California, San Diego. “The big story here,” Fitzgerald said, “is the demographic data. The number of people born in Mexico living in the U.S. has stabilized and the number of people born in Mexico trying to enter the US illegally has dramatically declined.” Fitzgerald said the reasons for fewer border crossings by Mexicans can be explained by a downturn in the U.S. labor market after the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, a drop in the Mexican birthrate since 1973, better economic opportunities in Mexico and the fact that crossing the border has become “more dangerous and expensive.” For the first time in history, in 2014 Mexicans did not make up the majority of people attempting to cross the border illegally. Most trying to cross the border were from Central America, Fitzgerald noted.

In 2000, Fitzgerald said the U.S. border patrol apprehended more than 1.5 million Mexicans, the majority of whom opted to leave the country voluntarily rather than pass through deportation proceedings. Then, formal deportations began to increase in 2007, reaching about 400,000 deportations in 2013, he said. A deportation program in effect between 2008 and 2014, known as “Secure Communities,” Fitzgerald said involved greater cooperation by local and federal authorities using fingerprint and other databases to identify illegal immigrants picked up and held by local authorities until processing by ICE. “The program was stopped in 2014,” Fitzgerald said, “because it was sweeping up a lot of people that hadn’t committed any crimes in the US and it generated a lot of backlash from immigrant groups and employers.” The program was replaced by the Obama administration in 2014 with so-called “priority enforcement,” focusing more on illegal immigrants who have committed more serious crimes, Fitzgerald said. “That is the program we still have today,” he added.

Don't believe it for a nanosecond. The number of mexicans plus other illegals is well over 30 million, and as long as restaurants and businesses keep opening up and hiring them, more will come.

I don't understand, how we have a populace, and lawmakers who stand for this crap. Oblowhard was slapped down by a Texas judge, over his illegal quazi amnesty executive order. But who believes, that he is adhering to this judges orders? This president is a criminal, but gets away with it, because of his skin color.

There is a one word explanation, as its quite simple: MONEY.

There is no way a policy of allowing millions of criminal aliens - thousands of whom have committed felony crimes - to enter the country illegally and stay in the US despite there being overwhelming public anger against it could survive this long unless there was huge amounts of money behind it.

Look at the fraudulent H1B program; everyone knows its a scam to import cheap labor that will undermine american labor, and the house/senate wanted to increase the number of them massively, regardless of the public anger. We are operating under a government that is 100% bought and paid for.

I'm always amazed at how long this 11 million number has been tossed around. I can remember reports on NPR back in the 90s talking about 11 million being here illegally. Year after year we hear about 500k-1mil cross the border into this country and the number never changes. ?????
