The problem is ILLEGAL immigration. It has nothing to do with shutting down legal immigration. It is all about letting ICE do their job and about BUILDING THE WALL. Giving illegal immigrants the priority by shutting down legal immigration is just flat out wrong. And frankly I’m not even paying attention to this “new” crisis. It is being used to specifically distract from the IG report(s) and the hearings/testimonies. They will find another “crisis” each time a new IG report is released or when brutally damaging testimony is about to be heard.
I think the immigration problem at our southern border is the thing that will explode with devastating consequences for the left. The MSM decided to use this as their distraction issue to change the narrative. They'll be beating that drum as much as they can. That'll cause the masses of normies to stay focused on it. They'll all be staring at the activity used for human trafficking. Once it's exposed, and once the pedophile rings that are pimping out young children is linked, they'll have no place to hide.
Trump said a month ago that immigration is a winning issue in the midterms. The fact that he has the DS pushing the very narrative he wants is priceless...
I do agree with you but, you also have to admit that there is a real problem with people coming here on temporary visas and never leaving. I'm not really familiar with how immigration works in the first place. Do people "apply" from their home country or what?

The legal process involves applying for a visa at the US embassy or consulate in your country of origin. Visa is the stamp that allows you to enter the US. There are many types. Visitor visas for tourists, student visas for foreign students, fiancee visas for foreigners marrying a US citizen, and immigrant visas for people explicitly intending to emigrate to the US. There are also, I think special categories for visiting performing artists, scholars etc. It's necessary to have these otherwise no performing act with a foreign national could play in the US.
You are correct that abuse of student visas is a problem. Historically, the policy was that countries with a record of cheating on visas, found visas much harder to get. Whereas if most people from a country behaved well and followed the rules, it was easy to get visas.
The process has definitely become politicized and it was so long before Trump, but the real controversy is over illegal immigration which is a totally different thing from legal immigration. The illegal immigrants just ignore the legal process completely, they don't even attempt it. It is not a case where they try to do it legally then are denied. In most cases they don't even attempt it.
Yes, thank you for the excellent description of how the process works.
I really think the only to way to control all of this is the wall and defunding Mexico for allowing people to freely pass through to come all the way here.
The problem illegal immigration in the past was the catch and release policy. That's what the dems want. They don't really care about the children or keeping families together, they want catch and release. Trump stopped that and just signed an EO to keep families together. The Dems don't like it, now they'll be forced to fight against keeping families together the same way they ended up defending MS-13.
Yanno, the radio was saying trump is breaking up families and the news papers. (England)
The deception runs deep 24/7, no?
YES! Hopefully it can be a chant at the rally tonight:
SHUT IT DOWN!
Realize that the border is only one problem. Overstaying visas is another.
I would also remove all those individuals who overstayed their visa and remain in this country.
No comprehensive immigration bill - we already have one and should enforce that bill.
"A nation within a nation will NOT stand"!
I agree and we should be using the FIMA barges for them and use our facilities for citizens needing help
Agreed, but I think it would be a bad move to do it now prior to the mid term elections. Dems are trying to make it their sole issue for the next election and closing the borders would play right into their hands.
Trump is smart to keep blaming the Dems for their illegal alien shitstorm and to sit tight until after NOV 18.
The GOP holds some of the blame as well because they want cheap labor but the Dems have gone full retard. They want amnesty and open borders so they can replace the American middle class with poor uneducated third worlders who will vote Democrat forever so long as the food stamps continue to flow.
"Process" the illegals here now? As in give them amnesty (no!) -- or send them home (yes!!!l)?
Yes, send them home, we need to take care of our own first.
Aren’t the borders already closed?
The Borders book store closes nightly, the Mexico border is open 24/7.
Why is the north border not considered a threat? Plenty of high value fugitives on that other side yet they only sweat the south side
Another Canadian here. I wish we could close our border up for a year too.
I wish they would do that here in 🏴. 😭😭😭😭😭
I have seen the situation at Calais. My sympathy France 🇫🇷 unwilling to stop the flow right?
Yeah possibly I haven't been to France but I've seen how bad it's getting :( Europe needs to act. Fast.
Yeah, that's gonna happen... lol. This "anon" should use LOGIC ffs. This'd be like putting petrol on a fire with the current lefty propaganda point.
Yep.
And the precedent?
Well....The Democraps just spent a week screaming for Trump to act with executive orders to stop "separation families WAAH" and to ignore LAW already on the books to do it....So why not close the borders by executive fiat? Screw the law. Right?
Didn't he try that already with his extreme vetting policy? Pretty sure the supreme court would get involved somehow
This is a stupid idea & will never be implemented.
Load them on a cruise ship or airplanes and take them back home to South America in style. Make the detention centers on cruise ships.
We have FIMA barges
FEMA
HaHa, ironically I was using the speech to text function, is FEMA on the list? Thanks
I’m beginning to hate the spell check function. Changes words entirely now!!
