If Trump Carries Through on Threat to close ports of entry?

[Harpy Eagle]

Trump is threatening to shut down the Mexican border.
Says he's not kidding.
Says it will be an economic boom for the U.S.
LOL!

What a fucking idiot.

I hope he does shut the border down, but it's the only way to get through the thick skulls of his supporters: through their jobs and the food on their tables.


""""Mexico is America's third-largest trade partner, and the two economies are deeply intertwined, with $558 billion in goods crossing the border in two-way trade last year alone. The Commerce Department estimated that in 2015, nearly 100,000 American jobs were supported by goods trade with Mexico.

If the border were to be shut down, experts say, the consequences would be immediate.

“The first thing you’d start to see is a spike in car prices and factories in trouble,” said Richard Miles, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies’s Americas program.

A huge portion of American trade with Mexico deals in parts, so shutting the border would immediately throw a wrench into the auto supply chain, as well as other manufacturing.

Another major casualty would be agriculture, which would hit farm states already facing a squeeze from a trade war with China.

Miles noted that corn and soybean exports to Mexico are big business for farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana.

American consumers would see the difference at the supermarket, said Wilson.

Many foods such as avocados, tomatoes, lettuce, celery and a variety of berries come to the United State by way of Mexico."""

Well we can thank Pelosi and Schumer for this. Trump ran on the border and they block him every chance they can. If they cared about our security, this wouldn't happen.

They offered Trump the full amount for his wall back in Feb 2018, he turned it down. He is not an innocent bystander in this process.

The last deal he wanted just a little bit and they turned it down. Pelosi owns whatever happens.

And he wanted to give nothing in exchange, that is not the way negotiations work. Trump is just as guilty as Pelosi.

They said no way there will be money for the wall. They are playing politics with our security. Every murder that an illegal commits, they own. You cannot deny that.

Here is an idea how about both parties stop playing the political games they have been playing for decades in regards to the border and do their dam job. They are all more interested in having the border as fucked up as possible so they can keep using it as a campaign issue give Trump the money he wants for the wall or whatever you want to call it in exchange for a pathway to citizenship for the dreamers both sides get something they want and you deal with two big problems.

No need to give Tramp money for the wall. Mexico is paying for it, Tramp said so remember?

Yeah and the previous President said if you like your current healthcare plan and doctor you will be able to keep them remember?

Interesting, I did and in fact do not know anyone that weren't able to. But nice deflection, did Mexico send the loot?

Because you don’t know anyone who didn’t doesn’t mean none did. Not a deflection just pointing out all Presidents make promises they don’t keep nice to see the point went right over your head.

Trump plan fails to cut immigration court backlog, as caseload soars more than 26%

"The Trump administration's controversial plan to shrink the ballooning backlog of immigration cases by pushing judges to hear more cases has failed, according to the latest data, with the average wait for an immigration hearing now more than two years.

"Since October 2017, when the Justice Department approved a plan aimed at reducing the backlog in immigration court, the pending caseload has grown by more than 26%, from 655,932 cases to just shy of 830,000, according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Access Records Clearinghouse, which tracks data from immigration courts."

Why are you surprised when an idiot racist makes legal immigration into a humanitarian disaster?

Huh?? Controlling the border is racist?

Huh?? Controlling the border is racist

Denying legitimate claims of political asylum is consistent with the actions of a lifelong bigot whose name was first published in his hometown newspaper as a defendant in a racial discrimination lawsuit.

Refugee Blockade: The Trump Administration’s Obstruction of Asylum Claims at the Border

"In the run-up to the mid-term elections, President Trump focused much of his rhetoric on 'the caravan' of migrants heading north through Mexico.

"The caravan, which included many refugees, was, in the president’s telling, a would-be 'invasion' of the United States by 'bad people,' 'terrorists,' and 'Middle Easterners.'

"This purported threat to the country’s security was his stated rationale for deploying thousands of troops and, later, for firing tear gas at a group of migrants as they approached the border.

"But Human Rights First’s research shows that the Trump Administration itself has cultivated this alleged crisis.

"The actual threat to the law comes not from refugees seeking asylum but from the Trump Administration seeking to restrict this right.

"Instead of managing migration and processing refugee protection requests in an orderly way that upholds U.S. law and ideals, border officials are illegally turning away asylum seekers and have slowed processing of asylum claims at 'ports of entry.'"

Stop with the bullchitt. This issue is decades old. This is not being mean. And it is an issue that needs to be addressed. I feel sorry for the young people in our nation. All of those in your face out of shape people who are Progs are carcasses waiting for the feeding. The 1980's had Paul Volcker as the Fed chairman squeezing out debt with double digit interest rates. We had a massive stock market drop several years later. We had astock market collapse in Bill Clinton's last year as president. We had a housing collpapse because of the Progs delaying it for giving people who never paid off a debt loans in the first decade of this century. And we needed massive fiat currency infusion that screwed the taxpayer over. The next stock market downturn will be far worse as pensions will be affected and loans will collapse and even medical may be rationed.

Stop with the bullchitt. This issue is decades old. This is not being mean. And it is an issue that needs to be addressed.

When it comes to immigration, Trump seems to be making the issue much more confusing and much less fair:

Refugee Blockade: The Trump Administration’s Obstruction of Asylum Claims at the Border

"Human Rights First sent legal monitoring teams to the U.S.-Mexico border in November and early December 2018. They conducted field observations both before and after the arrival of the caravan. This report is based on that research, as well as analyses of government statistics and interviews with attorneys, legal organizations, asylum seekers, and government officials. Their findings include:

• 'Illegal turn-backs and orchestrated bottlenecks at U.S. ports of entry are preventing many asylum seekers from requesting protection at official border posts. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reduced asylum processing at ports of entry for months even though the U.N. Refugee Agency warned of a 'significant increase in the number of people fleeing violence and persecution in the North of Central America,' and even as Trump Administration officials were telling asylum seekers to request protection at ports of entry to avoid criminal prosecution for illegal entry.
• Unaccompanied children are being blocked from U.S. ports of entry. CBP agents and their Mexican counterparts have blocked children from seeking asylum at ports of entry. Since April 2018 when CBP adopted new policies to throttle the entry of asylum seekers—which officials claim do not apply to unaccompanied children—the number of unaccompanied children processed at southern border ports of entry has dropped by 61 percent."

New Numbers: 91 Percent of Central American Asylum Seekers Have Bogus Claims

[New numbers from the Department of Homeland Security show that just 9 percent of asylum claims made by individuals from Central America turn out to be legitimate. /QUOTE]

New Numbers: 91 Percent of Central American Asylum Seekers Have Bogus Claims

Fact Sheet: U.S. Immigration and Central American Asylum Seekers - WOLA

"Interpreting an asylum applicant’s failure to show up in immigration court as admission of a fraudulent claim is problematic for other reasons.

"Reports have shown that applicants can fail to show up for a wide range of reasons including that they never received notice of their appointment in the mail or it was sent to the wrong address, that they received inadequate information from U.S. officials when they were released at the border after processing, and lack of access to legal counsel.

"Furthermore, several studies have found that, contrary to Sessions’ assertions, many Central American asylum applications are rooted in legitimate claims.

"According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) analysis of the screenings conducted by U.S. asylum officers, over 80 percent of women from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico who were screened on arrival at the U.S. border 'were found to have a significant possibility of establishing eligibility for asylum or protection under the Convention against Torture.'"

 

[BluesLegend]

I only want the ones that committed a crime deported...Wait, they all came here illegally. Deport them all.

Crossing the border illegally was only the beginning of their crime spree. Over 1/3 of all illegals commit blatant tax fraud each year. A child tax credit scam they use to get tax refunds of $6,000 to $21,000. Claiming children who are not their own. Claiming children who don't even reside in the USA. This cost American taxpayers over $5 billion a year.

This should cause Mexico great pain but what else?

It will cause great pain for a lot of Americans but what would closing border actually accomplish?
Would migrants turn around and walk back to Central America?
Would Mexico arrest people that aren't breaking any law?
Would Mexico shelter and feed these people?
Lastly would it reduce illegal immigration?

The answer is obviously no to all the above. What it would do is create a real emergency on southern border and declare to world that the most powerful nation on earth can't protect it's own borders.

The President has said what he expects Mexico to do, build the fence on Mexico's southern border to prevent the Central Americans from crossing Mexico to get to the US border. Obama paid Mexico to put up that fence, but when the caravans came, the Mexicans just stood by while the Central Americans tore down Obama's fence. Clearly, President Trump is demanding Mexico enforce its own border security laws and build the fence and defend it this time.

Trump's demands that Mexican wall off their southern border or stop migrants approaching the US border should be ignored. It is not their responsibility. The Federal Police do have that authority under Mexican law to stop or detain people that are legally in their country. The fact that Donald Trump can't control illegal immigration is not Mexico's problem.

Trump's promise to build a wall across the southern border and restrict immigration has created a sense of urgency throughout Central America to come to the US now. His promise to close border crossing is sending migrants to to more vulnerable sections of the border which will guarantee more illegal immigration.

There was no national emergency when Trump ceased the money to build a wall but his latest actions will certainly create one.

Obama also pushed Mexico to build a fence along its border with Central America, and they did because Obama paid them to, but when the Central Americans tore it down, the Mexicans just stood by and watched. This time around there will be none of the begging and bribing they enjoyed from Obama, and when the Central Americans again try to tear down the fence Mexico will be expected to behave in good faith to protect the fence Americans paid them to build. The alternative will be to see businesses in Mexico that want to sell to the US leave Mexico and take their jobs with them, tourists to stop coming, etc. Had the Mexicans behaved responsibly and protected the fence Obama paid for, none of this would be necessary now.

That's false news. There was never any payment to build a fence or wall across the Mexican Guatemalan border and none was built. After articles appeared with Google Maps show no trace of fences or walls, more false articles were published claimed migrants tore them down.

Most of these articles that reference anything at all reference the February 2016 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report on “U.S.-Mexican Security Cooperation” that mentioned plans for the U.S. to provide “at least $75 million” in assistance to Mexico. However, that money would not be given to Mexico for the construction of a physical wall or fence (which would largely be impractical given the geography of the region), but rather it would be provided in the form of U.S. training and equipment assistance.
FALSE: President Obama Is Giving Mexico $75 Million to Build a Southern Border Wall

One look at the border tells why there are no fences and walls. Most of the 541 mile of border is made up of three river, Usumacinta River, the Salinas River, and the Suchiate River and most of remainder of the border is dense forest with very steep terrain and no roads. The remainder is populated areas with border crossing and check points which do have fenced areas in the vicinity.

Mexico Border Gate Torn Down As Migrant Caravan Heads North Towards US

Mexico Border Gate Torn Down As Migrant Caravan Heads North Towards US

Clearly there was a border fence between Mexico and Guatemala and Clearly the migrants tore it down on their way to the US. As with the US-Mexico border fence, it is not continuous but exists only in areas near population centers. It is backed up by checkpoints intended to stop illegals who may have gone around the fence. In 2018, Mexico at first made a effort to enforce its border, but when met with determined and violent mobs of Central Americans, Mexico gave up and allowed them to pass to the US in violation of its own laws. If Mexico wants good relations, especially trade relations and tourist trade, with the US, this time it will stop the migrants at its border with Guatemala. Since the migrants are coming across Mexico to attack the US border, there is no way Mexico can be neutral on this issue.

Of course this whole problem is due to the Democrats' bogus opposition to border security.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Well, in the presser that Trump is currently giving after meeting with the NATO leader, when asked about shutting down the border, he said that Mexico is starting to stop people at their southern border, and if that continues, he won't see any reason to shut down the border.
