I think most would agree; however, do they really know what immigration is?
According to Black's Law Dictionary immigration is people leaving their country to enter another for permanent residence. The problem we make in this battle is to try to control the flow of people via some non-existent (constitutionally speaking) "legal" process.
With that in mind, I'm wondering why Trump don't call for a National Emergency against ALL immigration (see the above definition) for a six month period OR until such time Congress delivers an immigration bill both Houses of Congress will approve. If they still cannot do it, Trump could extend the Order. That would give BICE an opportunity to catch up on paperwork.
I agree. I actually think Trump is weak on immigration. He is a million times better than any filthy Democrat and most Republicans but there is a lot more that he could be doing.
The focus is wrong. Outside of calling for a National Emergency on all immigration, the balance of the solutions rests with the individual, not the government. Government cannot and will not resolve the debacle. If we keep thinking this is a job for government, we're going to wake up one day and be slaves in the country our ancestors fought, bled and died to build.
FWIW, this is not some simplistic and unrealistic nutjob idea like a call to arms either.
We could start by sending the military to the border. I don't mean support troops but combat troops with orders to shoot to kill. It wouldn't take too many casualties before they would stop coming over.
Unfortunately, when we do these kinds of threads, it turns into a referendum about the popular Hegelian inspired "
solutions." We are being led into a trap, so let's examine what you just said:
"
We could start by sending the military to the border."
Bear in mind, your Congresscritter in Washington Wonderland, District of Corruption is either an attorney or, if not, has half a dozen working for them. The liberals are better than the right because their lawyers know how to con you. You cannot, on one hand, call people "
illegal aliens" and on the other hand proclaim that it is the duty of the military to protect the border. According to Wikipedia:
"The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) signed on June 18, 1878, by President Rutherford B. Hayes. The purpose of the act – in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807 – is to limit the powers of the federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States. It was passed as an amendment to an army appropriation bill following the end of Reconstruction and was updated in 1956 and 1981."

So, you see, if we abide by the Rule of Law, the arguments you're making preclude the legal use of federal troops on the border. That would be the classic definition of a
POLICE STATE. You have to decide whether you want to protect a border with the military which would mean, at this juncture, a Declaration of War by Congress
OR you have to enforce domestic law enforcement policies via Law Enforcement Organizations.
If you choose to enforce the law, be mindful of two things:
1) The United States Supreme Court has ruled that state and local governments
cannot be compelled to enforce federal laws (jurisdictions, separations of power, and state's rights exist for a reason.) Eliminating jurisdictions leads you to a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. In practice, what this means is that if your state decides
NOT to enforce what they believe is unconstitutional gun control, they don't have to. So, it's a decision you have to make as to how much government control you want in accordance with the Constitution
2) Whether we like it or not, whether we agree with it or not, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that
it is not a crime to be in the United States without documentation. In a legal sense, you screw yourself every time you call on the government to remove "
illegal aliens" because the military lacks the jurisdiction to enforce domestic policies (they are not LEOs.)
You have to look at the parameters from which you have to work and resolve the issue without the government. The more you plead with government to get involved, the bigger the problem will become. You are going to have to exhaust all of your nonviolent legal and political avenues of redress. An analogy might be is that a friend of yours may save you from the guy bullying you, but then you are beholden to your friendly benefactor and he may want more than the bully did. So, you have to resolve the issue yourself.
