'We've got to strengthen our own borders': MLK niece
supports Trump's temporary immigration ban
by Emma
Colton
Martin
Luther King Jr.’s niece said she supports President Trump’s forthcoming
temporary suspension of immigration to the United States.
Trump announced he would be signing
an executive order this
week that is expected to put a 60-day ban on immigrants seeking permanent
status in the U.S. Alveda King, the director of Civil Rights for the Unborn at
Priests for Life, said she agrees with the order, arguing that it will help the
U.S. become healthier and stronger amid the coronavirus.
“I agree with President Trump,” King
told Just the News on
Tuesday. “Now, this is a temporary measure. This is not a forever
measure."
"So, the president, when he
says 'America first' — he never says 'America only,' just 'America
first,'" she said. "Immigration slows for a time. Then we become
healthier. Then we can reach out to others. That is the strategy. So, people need
to understand that. We've got to strengthen our own borders, our own lives, our
own families, our own communities. Once we do that, then we can help
others."
Just
the News reported that the U.S. Civil Rights Commission under
the Obama administration showed illegal immigration negatively affects blacks
and asked King if the U.S. should consider immigration control a civil right.
“Civil rights, I would not say — I
think more it helps human rights. It helps Americans to get better," King
said. "Civil rights, of course, come after human rights, and human rights
are endowed by our creator. So, there are some rights, human rights, that we
all have. And I believe we all have rights all over the planet to safety,
security, provision, and all of that. When that is missing, it is wise for
leaders of any nation to stop, take toll, repent, pray, return to God, and get
things straightened out."
On the topic of immigration, she
added, “During her lifetime, my aunt Coretta Scott King spoke about immigration
coming in, and it would displace ‘negroes,’ or blacks, as we were called back
then. And she even wrote about that. My uncle, Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke
about immigration as well.
"My father, the Rev. A.D. King,
with all of us having the understanding this nation was founded by immigrants,
as it is today," she continued. "We had the Native Americans here
before we were here, of course. So, we are all immigrants. ... Martin Luther
King Jr. said, ‘Well, we may have come out on different boats, but we are all
in the same boat now.'"
Obama: DACA Illegal Aliens
Deserve Amnesty During
Coronavirus Crisis...AND
MIDDLE AMERICA
DESERVES THE TAX BILLS
FOR THEIR WELFARE AND
CRIME WAVE???

Former
President Barack Obama says the time is now, during the Chinese coronavirus
crisis, to provide amnesty to about 3.5 million illegal aliens who are enrolled
and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
While
about ten million Americans have filed for
unemployment in just three weeks, Obama took to Twitter to call for an amnesty
for DACA illegal aliens in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.
“Dreamers have contributed so much to our country, and they are
risking their lives fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic,” Obama said.
“They deserve permanent immigration status and a pathway to citizenship—as they
are Americans in every way but on paper.”
Dreamers have contributed so much to our
country, and they are risking their lives fighting on the frontlines of this
pandemic. They deserve permanent immigration status and a pathway to
citizenship—as they are Americans in every way but on paper. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/dreamers-risk-lives-on-pandemics-front-lines-while-they-await-court-ruling/2020/04/11/d34a7b58-76c4-11ea-85cb-8670579b863d_story.html …
‘Dreamers’ risk lives on pandemic’s front lines while they
await a decision on their own futures
Center for
Immigration Studies Research Director Steven Camarotta has
noted that
DACA illegal aliens make up about 0.2 percent of the nation’s nearly 15 million
healthcare workers. In New York, where a staggering number of DACA illegal
aliens reside, they still only account for about 0.2 percent of the state’s
healthcare workers, according to Camarotta.
Obama’s
lobbying for a DACA amnesty in the middle of the coronavirus crisis comes as
House Democrats — including Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Joaquin Castro
(D-TX), Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) —
have sent a
letter to
the Trump administration demanding DACA illegal aliens have their work
authorizations extended.
“Support of DACA recipients during the current pandemic is
particularly critical as over 200,000 DACA recipients are in occupations and
industry groups that render them ‘essential critical infrastructure workers,’
according to DHS guidance,” the House Democrats wrote in their letter.
A DACA
amnesty would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as “anchor
babies” — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American
taxpayers would be left potentially with
a $26 billion bill.
Additionally,
about one-in-five DACA illegal aliens, after an amnesty, would end up on food stamps,
while at least one-in-seven would go on Medicaid.
Any plan to give amnesty to DACA illegal aliens that does not
also include provisions to halve legal immigration levels — the U.S. admits
about 1.2 million legal immigrants a year at the expense of America’s working
and middle class — would give amnestied illegal aliens the opportunity to bring
an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country.
At the southern border, a DACA amnesty has the potential to
trigger a border surge that could triple the number of illegal aliens pouring
through the border. Since DACA’s inception, more than 2,100 recipients of the
program have been kicked off because they were found to either be criminals or
gang members.

Joe Biden: ‘Absolutely
Bizarre’ to Suggest Limit on
U.S. Capacity to Absorb
Immigrants
18 Feb 20201,578
2:58
LAS
VEGAS, Nevada — Former Vice President Joe Biden campaigned inside a Chinese
restaurant on Tuesday evening, telling supporters it was “bizarre” to suggest a
limit on immigration to the U.S.
Biden promised to expand immigration
to the U.S. if elected president.
“Folks, look — the idea that there’s
some limitation on the capacity of anyone who — on the immigrants in this
country is absolutely bizarre! It’s absolutely bizarre.”
Biden, speaking to a packed crowd
inside the Harbor Palace Seafood Restaurant on the eve of the next Democratic
debate, addressed members of the Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)
community, urging them to turn out the vote ahead of Saturday’s caucuses.
Last
month, the AAPI Victory Fund super PAC endorsed Biden for president, citing
his ability to defeat President Donald Trump and his experience working with
immigrant communities from South Asia, East Asia and the Pacific generally.
Though the AAPI immigrant community
is politically diverse, it has trended Democratic in recent years.
Last
year, Breitbart News reported, another local AAPI organization in Las Vegas
expressed opposition to
President Trump’s proposed merit-based system for legal immigration.
On Tuesday, Biden promised, if
elected, to allow family reunification visas.
“We should be able to increase, to
three million people, the people who could come for family reunification.
Period, period, period, period.”
He called the idea that the U.S. could
not “reunite” more families “absolutely bizarre.”
Biden also reminded his audience
that Latinos were not the only beneficiaries of President Barack Obama’s
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which applied to those
brought to the country illegally as children.
He said there were “thousands and
thousands of AAPI ‘Dreamers'” who had benefited from DACA as well.
Afterwards, Biden greeted attendees,
some of whom proceeded to the Chinatown Mall to cast early votes before the
polling place there closed.
Biden hopes to finish in the top
three in Nevada, and to win South Carolina on Feb. 29, to make the case that he
is still a top contender for his party’s nomination. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
now leads national polls, as well as Nevada polls.

ICE ignores California laws and
arrests illegal aliens at the
courthouse door
arrests illegal aliens at the
courthouse door
In 2018, California implemented the California Values Act, which gave special protection to illegal
aliens by mandating that California law enforcement agencies cannot cooperate
with federal immigration authorities. Last week, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (“ICE”) thumbed its nose at California and arrested two people in
Sonoma County Superior Court.
BLOG: CALIFORNIA HAS 15 MILLION ILLEGALS!
California has lots of reasons to hang
onto its roughly 2.2 – 3.5 million illegal immigrants. They provide cheap,
easily-exploited labor. They swell the state’s population, which matters for
electors and congresspeople, as well as the distribution of certain federal
funds. As illegal immigrants are fed into the system, they provide reliable
(legal or illegal) Democrat votes. And they make Californians feel virtuous
even as they allow corrupt Latin American states to continue exploiting their
own citizens and destroying their economies by relying on remittances from
people illegally in America.
For these reasons, California enacted the
pompously named “California Values Act.” Although the act refers to
“immigrants,” it’s obviously intended to affect only illegal aliens because the
Act’s entire purpose is to use the agencies of the state to prevent ICE from
gaining access to people illegally in California – including people who have
committed crimes in California. This is the type of law that could only come
from legislators and other virtue signalers ensconced in comfortable middle-
and upper-middle-class enclaves unaffected by felonies that would never have
happened but for open borders and sanctuaries.
Throughout the Obama administration,
sanctuary cities and states were able to get away with these policies because
the Obama administration, despite Obama’s sworn obligation to upload the laws
of the United States, approved of open borders. Trump promised to change all
that.
During the first three years of his
administration, rather disappointingly, Trump was able to have little effect on
illegal immigration or on deportation. However, Trump was just getting his
ducks in a row. He was hampered by a reluctant Republican Congress, which was
superseded by a violently resisting Democrat House. He also had to deal with
“resistance” judges who blocked every immigration initiative he made.
Finally, though, things are changing.
Trump was able to squeeze money out of Congress for his wall and, even more
importantly, with help from Mitch McConnell, he’s changing the judiciary:
Great news for the U.S. Constitution! @realDonaldTrump has flipped the 9th Circuit — and some new judges are
causing a 'shock wave' https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-02-22/trump-conservative-judges-9th-circuit …
Trump has flipped the 9th Circuit — and some new judges are causing a
'shock wave'
With a judiciary that believes in
interpreting the law, not making it, Trump’s administration is able to act in
accordance with the Supremacy Clause (Constitution, Art. VI, Clause 2):
This
Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in
Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the
Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the
Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or
Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
In other words, when there’s a direct
conflict between state laws and federal laws, federal laws prevail.
Because the critical mass of judges is no
longer deliberately inserting itself as an obstacle between federal laws and
illegal immigrants, ICE is beginning to carry out its duty as written under the law:
U.S.
immigration agents arrested two people at a Northern California courthouse,
including a man detained in a hallway on his way to a hearing, flouting a new
state law requiring a judicial warrant to make immigration arrests inside such
facilities.
Immigration
and Customs Enforcement agents made the arrests Tuesday at Sonoma County
Superior Court, prompting an outcry from criminal justice and court officials
who said the action undermines local authority and deters immigrants who are in
the country illegally from participating in the U.S. justice system.
ICE said
California's law doesn't supersede federal law and “will not govern the conduct
of federal officers acting pursuant to duly-enacted laws passed by Congress
that provide the authority to make administrative arrests of removable aliens
inside the United States."
“Our officers
will not have their hands tied by sanctuary rules when enforcing immigration
laws to remove criminal aliens from our communities," David Jennings,
ICE's field office director in San Francisco, said in the statement.
At long last, in Trump’s America, the rule
of law matters again. The reliability of law is one of the essential
ingredients of a just and successful civilization. In that context, if you
don’t like the law, you change it through the democratic process, not through
illegal and unconstitutional resistance.
Surge in Illegal Aliens, 500% Increase in
Some U.S. Ports of Entry
Judicial Watch Corruption Chronicles, December 30, 2015
The agency’s own statistics certainly contradict that, showing that the southern border region is as porous and vulnerable as ever. Other entry ports that saw large hikes in Central American illegal immigrants during the first two months of this fiscal year include Del Rio, Texas (269%), El Centro, California (216%) and Rio Grande Valley, Texas (154%). The Border Patrol breaks the stats down by “family unit” and illegal immigrants under the age of 18, referred to as “Unaccompanied Alien Children” or UAC. The Rio Grande Valley port of entry topped the list in both categories with 8,537 family units and 6,465 UACs during the two-month period. In all, the nation’s nine southern border crossings saw an average of 173% increase in family units and a 106% increase in minors during the short period considered.
Some of the illegal immigrants are Mexican nationals, but the overwhelming majority comes from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The government records show that somehow 4,450 family units from El Salvador evaded our topnotch border security and entered the United States in a period of only two months. Guatemala and Honduras had 3,934 and 3,203 respectively. Mexico had 538 family units. Of interesting note is that, during this period, the Border Patrol reports 35,234 apprehensions in the region of foreigners labeled by the government as “Other Than Mexican” or OTM. This is a term used by federal authorities to refer to nationals of countries that represent a terrorist threat to the U.S.

Concrete Evidence of the Continuing Plunge in Both Civil and Criminal Immigration Enforcement
By Dan Cadman
CIS Immigration Blog, January 23, 2016
Two recent reports from Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) reflect the continued erosion of immigration enforcement under the Obama administration.
On January 20, TRAC reported that criminal prosecution for immigration offenses fell 22.3 percent from November 2014 to November 2015, and more than 36 percent over the course of five years, excluding magistrate court (which deals exclusively with petty offenses).
The following day, TRAC announced that "ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] Detainer Use Stabilizes Under Priority Enforcement Program". The Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) is the replacement to the Secure Communities Program mandated by Homeland Security Security Jeh Johnson as a part of the president's "executive actions" on immigration. It significantly restricts the ability of immigration agents to file detainers against aliens arrested by police on criminal charges.
I have no idea what TRAC means by "stabilizes". A quick look at Figure 1a of their report shows a more accurate state of affairs, if one considers the number of detainers being filed over the course of five years, from a high in April 2011, when Secure Communities became fully effective nationwide and kicked into high gear, versus October 2015. I would use other phrases: "plummeted" or "Dropped like a stone". Or, as my colleague Jessica Vaughan has noted, particularly in relation to detainers filed at county jails, where the lion's share of criminals of any stripes are held after being booked for offenses small and large: "a stunning free fall".

'Our middle class is dying': Tucker Carlson blames 'advisers' in Trump orbit for 'tidal wave' of immigration
Fox News host Tucker Carlson ripped some within President Trump's "orbit" for attempting to place corporate interests ahead of American workers' welfare during the coronavirus pandemic.
On his Tuesday night show, Carlson critiqued Trump advisers, who he alleges crafted a temporary suspension of immigration without addressing key concerns of the working class.
"The president is worried about preserving American jobs," Carlson said. "Unfortunately, and this seems to be the key, some in his orbit are not as concerned. Their main worry is making donors happy. And if there's one thing that donors love always, it's cheap employees. Yes, our middle class is dying at a faster clip than ever before."
Carlson said the suspension doesn't address the hundreds of thousands of temporary and guest workers who vie with Americans for industrial and agricultural jobs.
The Fox News host claimed the suspension was written by out-of-touch staff members who are "more worried about what their friends think" of the immigration measures instead of protecting the jobs of citizens.
Carlson noted the suspension does not apply to a massive section of immigrants who fight with Americans for working-class jobs.
"The new moratorium on immigration will last for 60 days," Carlson said. "The ban will apply only to individuals seeking permanent residency into this country."
Carlson said Trump's ban, which could be extended after the two-month period ends, does not apply to hundreds of thousands of temporary and guest workers who vie with Americans for industrial and agricultural jobs.
"The purpose of this tidal wave of immigration has nothing to do with what advocates of immigration claim immigration is for," added Carlson. "These visas do not improve American society in any way. We have no moral obligation to give them. There is no mention of guest workers on the Statue of Liberty."
