U. S. asylum officers say Trump policy is threatening migrants’ lives, ask federal court to end it
U.S. asylum officers slammed President Trump’s policy of forcing migrants to remain in Mexico while they await immigration hearings in the United States, urging a federal appeals court Wednesday to block the administration from continuing the program. The officers, who are directed to implement the policy, said it is threatening migrants’ lives and is “fundamentally contrary to the moral fabric of our Nation.”
The labor union representing asylum officers filed a friend-of-the-court brief that sided with the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups challenging Trump’s Migrant Protection Protocols program, which has sent 12,000 asylum-seeking migrants to Mexico since January. The policy is an effort to deter migrants from seeking entry into the United States and to keep them out of the country while courts weigh their claims.
The union argued that the policy goes directly against the nation’s long-standing view that asylees and refugees should have a way to escape persecution in their homelands, with the United States embracing its status as a safe haven since even before it was founded — with the arrival of the Pilgrims in the 17th Century. The union says in court papers that the policy is compelling sworn officers to participate in the “widespread violation” of international and federal law

I blame the Democrats, they have been derelict in their duty to defend the constitution by not impeaching that imbecile of a president as he continues to create havoc in the country. Dump conned them into giving him $4.6b which he is now going to use to build deportation centers and other ice related facilities by diverting funds even though the stipulations indicate it should not be so. Democrats are not getting it in their heads that he will not obey any law.

I am not absolving the Republicans It is all but plain to see what they are at this point and they are tacitly fully behind Trump. But the Democrats have everything in their hands to put on display the corruption in this presidency and they are withholding for political expediency. They will pay dearly for it. Hope I am wrong.

Democrats playing Chess and Trump playing Checkers and beating them at it while cheating in plain sight.
The Trump and Roger Stone MO is- and they fully live by it. Admit nothing, Deny Everything and attack, attack, attack. The only deception here is that "attack" really means lie, lie, lie. Now, look at Trump over his presidency and see how closely that pattern is followed. And Democrats still expecting him to be honorable

Has it dawned on you that 40% of the American voting population do not give a rat's ass about immigrants, rule of law and simple common human decency?
If they did the republicans would not be in control of the Senate and thus we could move forward to throw this moron out of office.
The Democrats have had to subpoena Robert Muller to get him to testify and Trump has flouted the law brazenly knowing that the republicans in Congress will tacitly support whatever batshit crazy stuff he does.
The framers of the American Constitution never envisaged a supine Congress and more importantly an AMORAL public when they framed the Constitution and thus America is in great peril. They did envisage an amoral president like trump and the safe guards put in place would have worked but for the other unforeseen problems.

I want to hear your thoughts on this: if Guyana continues taking in Venezuelans, naturalizing them until they reach a point that the Vene population will have numerical dominance and therefore be able to run the country by picking their leaders....
Would you consider it immoral if the traditional populace vote to stymie this?
2019-06-27 14:35:44
In reply to Dukes
Not sure what the overriding point was but the safeguard for an AMORAL president is impeachment hearings even if the articles of impeachment would not be voted on.
If 40% of American voters do not care about immigrants, law and common human decency what happen to the 60% who do?
Impeachment hearings grant the democrats certain privileges that Trump subpoena blocking plan can not prevent. Nixon attempted the same thing and the courts ruled against him. Further more impeachment hearings is a way to lay the entire story of this corrupted administration before the American people in an organized manner. This shot gun approach by the Democrats just gives the appearance of a fishing expedition, while diminishing the atrocities of this president. It seems to me that you need to expose the illegality of this president to the people and let the onus be on Republicans to blatantly excuse this illegality and have that on record. That should be a public relations nightmare for them. I don't know Pelosi's plan but I hope it works for her and her country.

They're all in the pockets of big business. Republicans and Democrats. Murica needs a viable third party for it to be a real democracy again.
Both of the current parties have one overriding question to almost every issue before them: "Is this good for our corporate donors"? The answer to that singular question sets the policies for the entire country.
Is impeachment good for Wall street, the stock market, and their corporate donors? Nancy doing sweet fcuk all to this point in time is your answer.

NEW: Rex Tillerson told Congress that Jared Kushner circumvented the State Department on a number of occasions to meet with foreign officials, leaving him in the dark about key policy decisions.
On one occasion, Kushner and former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon attended a dinner with the rulers of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that saw the Gulf officials lay out their plans for a blockade of Qatar — which the White House supported. Tillerson said he was not aware of the dinner and had not heard about the plans for the blockade.

In another occasion, Tillerson said he walked into a restaurant in Washington for a business meeting to find Kushner and the foreign secretary of Mexico dining at a back table. The foreign secretary was apparently under the impression that the State Department knew about the meeting and was "shocked" to find that Tillerson was left in the dark.

Winging it or as we does say in Guyana he lab lab and does things gasar pasar, dontkaydam.
“A lot of the early issues had to do with immigration policy, actions, implementation. And... I shared the President’s endpoint objective. He was—oftentimes wanted to do it: Boom, you know, this is it. Let’s issue this,“ Tillerson said.
According to a transcript obtained by The Daily Beast, Tillerson said he often felt uncomfortable by the president’s quick decisions, usually made without reading briefing materials or memos. And that unease, particularly on the issue of immigration, led Tillerson to lean on State Department lawyers about how to manage the president’s demands, according to the transcript.

1.For starters appoint more judges so the cases can be dealt with promptly, reduce the backlogs. Hire more CBP staff and employ technology to reduce illegal crossings, fence as appropriate.
2. Have proper holding facilities, sanitary, medical staff etc for god’s sake act like a rich super power, not some third world backwater country. Please don’t separate families.
3. Have a plan on where to send those who qualify, identify skillset and match to prospective employers/ states etc/ have job training.
4. Promptly remove those who do not qualify.
5. Legislate proper immigration laws to deal with the entire process.
6. Identify countries they are coming from and pressure governments to improve living standards so their citizens does not have to flee. If aid is given, have proper monitoring of funds disbursement and projects. Accountability at all stages, apply SMART concept. Strategic, measurable, achievable, relevant and appropriate time frame.

How do they anticipate the numbers coming in...what effect such preparation will have on those coming..are those coming truly seekers of asylum or just the usual fortune seekers?
What do the workers involved do when not dealing with the massive influx? Do they go on furlow...where do you build these facilities?
If they are indeed built, will they be adequate? Will the asylum seekers then wait until there are vacancies before coming?
Then when those facilities are full then what?
Keep building to infinity?

You need to re-read all my points which address a comprehensive approach. You seem stuck on numbers and facilities. I identified causation and how to deal with, more judges etc am sure once done properly we can reduce the numbers. I have identified how to promptly process, transfer to permanent status and residency and removal if not qualified. I fail to see the relevance of your points sir.
Goodnight.

Point is dude, that as countries continue to spiral out of control more and more people are immigrating to the US in numbers the people of the Country do not want to see...most not seeking asylum, Rather seeking economic relief.
The resources that are in place are what the Country is willing to assign to the issue.
There is zero guarantee that increasing the available resources doubly will not result in the numbers of those attempting to make the trip double or even triple!
Easy to say let's do xyz...you have no idea what the result will be.
End of the day, most Americans do not want the flood of migrants allowed in the Country...the US already allows more people than any other Country in and probably also have more illegal persons than all other countries combined!
Give me a break...the US will never be able to meet the demand...regardless, nor do Americans want to...it's not sustainable.
Go ask the Canadians to open up...they have almost as much land as the US and tons of room for growth!
2019-06-28 04:02:02
You know what...scratch that...
Canada is considerably larger than the U.S., in sheer land mass, but has about one tenth the human population, some 31,000,000, creating some interesting challenges in animal protection. The entire population of Canada is about the same as can be found in the state of California.Jul 30, 2009
Canada's turn....tell all the loudmouth on here to spread the word!
They say their Country beautiful...the standard of living is great...quality of life impecable...time to let in more than the 280000 on average per year...

TPVA has minimum standards in place for the receipt of these....they made a list...the PM of the Country tell America to go pound sand.
So you saying the US should dig even deeper and all will be well...are you paying attention?
Do you see what is going on in the World? Americans can't even agree on what is good for America...you want to make them master over more Governments?

Do you realise that we are in the midst of the greatest migration of people ACROSS THE ENTIRE PLANET? Do you know what's causing it? Lack of resources!! As the planet warms up it will get worse. Artificial borders are not going to stop it. The West will pay the cost for their centuries of imperialism. England is already trying to 'Brexit' themselves hoping that being an island will protect them. Imagine going from the sun never setting on the "British Empire" to not being welcoming of any of their "subjects" who moved their following the money earned from the resources that they stole from the countries those same people came from.

Then it is presented to the people charged with actually implementing it and the real issues that it negates to address and once these people start sharing these real issues you all look at them with eyes glazed over and realize your many 'fixes' are dead on arrival .
Known known what? How long has immigration been a struggle for the US due to their unwillingness to put resources in place that the issue demands on a normal day much less when unrest cause a stampede?
What do you do with all these resources when there is no stampede? Again furlow?
Where do you get all these bodies to manage these facilities? The army? National guard....you know that with more facilities come more HR?
What, create a immigration National Guard that spring to action in 'wartime' then go back to their day jobs when it is all over?
And the judges? And courtrooms? Etc?
Man the reason this is so difficult to figure is because it is a complex and ever changing issue...known known?
Quit your words game and deal with reality!
This issue been there for decades through all sorts of administrations, still nada!
