More Than 1,000 Illegals Set Free in Texas, New Mexico This Week

By S.Noble December 27, 2018

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released 522 migrants in New Mexico and Texas on Wednesday evening – bringing the total number of asylum seekers dropped off by the agency this week to more than 1,000.

ICE dropped off 186 people on Christmas Day and 400 in the two days preceding the holiday, according to CBS News.

The Sentinel posted several videos of the people streaming into the El Paso Greyhound station under catch and release [search ‘Greyhound’ on this site]. Every single person who comes here illegally with a child, including drug dealers who grab onto the kids traveling alone, will get into the country. They don’t even need a child and most illegals are in fact men who are getting in since we don’t have the ability to stop them.

Once they are in, no one will deport them. Eventually, they will get amnesty.

The aliens were dropped off without notice because ICE had to release them and are inundated with thousands of illegals pouring in each week. That is what Democrats want.

CONGRESS IS WORTHLESS

ICE in a statement blamed “decades of inaction by Congress” for limiting its ability to remove families who are in the U.S. illegally.

“To mitigate the risk of holding family units past the timeframe allotted to the government, ICE has curtailed reviews of post-release plans from families apprehended along the southwest border,” the statement read. “ICE continues to work with local and state officials and NGO partners in the area so they are prepared to provide assistance with transportation or other services.”

Congress is worthless. The Senate needs 60 votes to get anything done and Schumer won’t let one Democrat vote for a thing to stop this. It will be worse now with the open borders House.

This past year, CBP experienced a 121% increase in the number of asylum seekers processed at US ports of entry, and overall CBP processed almost 93,000 claims of fear in FY18. CBP processes undocumented persons as expeditiously as possible. https://t.co/iu8PZ9dFyi

With the influx of Central American family units arriving at US ports of entry without proper documentation and crossing US borders illegally, the processing system at CBP and our partner agencies has hit capacity. https://t.co/iu8PZ9dFyi

Foreigners see they get in illegally and that encourages more to come. An overwhelming number collect some form of welfare.

How is this keeping the country safe? Why are illegals being released into the united states to never be seen again? Where is the assimilation, love for the country they illegally breaking into. You are over DHS, you have final say

Report: Mattis blocked Trump supporters from key Pentagon jobs

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE: Countdown: Top stories of 2018

The Pentagon’s doors may soon swing open to a number of supporters of President Donald Trump who felt they were locked out by departing Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, D.C. insiders say.

“Mattis mostly hired Democrats, so this is an opportunity for a Trump do-over of political appointees at the Pentagon,” tweeted Christian Whiton, a former senior adviser at the State Department. “Would be nice if it happens.”

In a Dec. 25 report, Washington Times security correspondent Rowan Scarborough quoted a former Trump campaign adviser as saying Mattis “was briefing Hillary during the 2016 campaign and only became a Trump supporter after the election. He then worked hard to keep Trump campaign advisers and surrogates out of the Pentagon while undermining Trump policies all along. I hope he doesn’t let the door hit him on the way out.”

The ex-adviser also said: “General Mattis is a cautionary tale for conservatives thinking about getting involved in 2020 re-election campaign. Numerous advisers who took significant risks in supporting Trump during the 2016 campaign had their lives destroyed by a cast of thousands. Meanwhile, Mattis fought hard to keep them out of the Pentagon, adding insult to injury.”

Scarborough noted that “Insiders say Mattis’s chief of staff, retired Navy Rear Adm. Kevin M. Sweeney, preached a ‘non-political’ Defense Department.”

Mattis reportedly gave Sweeney wide authority over personnel matters. Sweeney’s official Pentagon biography states: “He is responsible for providing counsel and advice to the Secretary on all matters concerning the Department.”

Insiders translated Sweeney’s “non-political” edict “as meaning that Trump campaign people and Republicans on Capitol Hill would have limited access to 160 plum, high-paying appointments,” Scarborough wrote.

Scarborough noted that sources pointed to Michele Flournoy, who was his first choice to be deputy defense secretary, as proof of Mattis’s leanings. Flournoy served as President Barack Obama’s undersecretary of defense for policy and is a Hillary Clinton supporter.

“Yet she was Mattis‘s first choice for the ultra-plum job of deputy defense secretary, to the exclusion of rank-and-file Republicans who had been outside looking in for eight years,” Scarborough wrote.

The job ultimately went to Patrick M. Shanahan, a longtime Boeing executive outside the Republican foreign policy sphere.

Scarborough noted that the Flournoy near-hiring may have contributed to Trump calling Mattis “some sort of a Democrat” on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

A second source, Scarborough said, defended Sweeney. While he stresses a non-political Pentagon, Sweeney has asked for Republican referrals, only to run up against a tide of “Never Trumpers” who would be dead-on-arrival with White House gatekeepers, this source said.
