Washington Times – by Stephen Dinan

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Thursday that “100%” of illegal-immigrant families in the new border surge are being released into communities, rather than being held and deported.

He said within a month or two, they are also granted work permits, giving them a foothold to live and remain in the U.S. while their cases proceed through the immigration courts — a process that averages two years, and stretches even longer in some overwhelmed regions.

Mr. McAleenan said that system, rewarding unauthorized migrants who jump the border with exactly the thing they seek, is responsible for the record-breaking numbers.

“That is directly how smugglers are advertising,” he told the Senate Homeland Security Committee, adding that it applies not just to families seeking asylum.

The effects on the border have been stunning.

In 2012, only about 10,000 migrants traveling as families — meaning parent and child — were caught by Border Patrol at the border. Over the last two months alone, that number was 111,679 people.

Many of the families end up ignoring their immigration court proceedings, and remain in the U.S. illegally even after they have been ordered deported.

I know this is true, Deckhard, and it should make us rise up against this damned bureaucratic spiderweb that shoves thousands of illegals into our cities when they should be shoving them the hell out of this declining nation.

Get busy, el presidente! Drain these illegals out of our nation.

Agree !!!

But the problem is that the globalists want the invasion of illegals to continue ! They do not want it stopped ! They are in charge, and they give the orders !

Unfortunately, despite the false impressions, the stage & script management, they let Trump bluster, etc, but he does ONLY what they allow.

The invasion will continue !!!

A few of us Campo Minutemen at the border, Thanksgiving 08.

Old Runway mat border wall to the right.

Found some pics of us Campo (CA) Minutemen Thanksgiving '08, including dubya's then new wall.

Scroll down to Nov '08 new wall pics. Dubya may have built more new wall in 08 than Trump has. But only in short sections, with open border at ends as RidgeRunner (Me) Update indicates.

Hondo, I thank you & your pals for being there. You all at least have tried, and did your part to halt the invasion.

One of the reasons I, like many voted for Trump was the promise to halt the invasion. I never did buy into "The Wall", too expensive, too long to construct, etc. He may have done OK on some things, but on stopping the invasion, and reducing Fed spending, he has failed miserably !!!

He is on a leash by the globalists. They are in charge, they just let him bluster !!
