Immigration policy is one of the most controversial legislative issues that exist in Washington
D.C.
No matter how you slice it, Republicans and Democrats fundamentally disagree.
This is not likely to change anytime soon.
Since President Trump took office, he has made it clear that a comprehensive immigration
policy would be a priority for him.
This has led to the administration's ardent support of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) enforcement.
But, those on the opposite side of the aisle have not agreed with that.
Regardless, ICE has been more effective than ever before.
They are increasing their border patrol statistics as each day passes.
The information speaks for itself.
President Donald Trump's enforcement officials have sharply boosted the repatriation of non-criminal
illegal migrants in the nine months up to July 2018, says the Associated Press news
service.
AP reported the expanded efforts by Trump's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement:
ICE arrests of noncriminals increased 66 percent in the first nine months of the 2018 fiscal
year over the same period a year earlier.
Arrests of convicts, meantime, rose nearly 2 percent.
More noncriminals have also been deported …
The result is immigration courts are filling with defendants like Ruben Moroyoqui, a 45-year-old
mechanic in Tucson, Arizona, whose only run-in with police came last year, his attorney said,
when he was pulled over while picking up auto parts.
First, the officer asked for his license.
His second question, Moroyoqui said, was "Are you here legally?"
He wasn't cited for any driving violation; he was simply handed over to ICE, which began
proceedings to deport him to Mexico.
An appeal is pending.
The arrests are rising partly because ICE is inspecting more employers who hire many
illegal immigrants.
Under President Barack Obama, enforcement officials narrowed their focus to illegal
immigrants who were found guilty of violent crimes.
That strategy required enforcement officials to ignore illegal immigrants they met in routine
operations, and also prompted judges to set aside at least 100,000 deportation cases against
illegals.
However, even Trump's deportation rates are still low given the nation's huge population
of illegal immigrants, which is estimated to include from 11 million to 22 million illegals.
But Trump's extra enforcement is opposed by pro-migration Democrats and by business-first
Republicans.
The political pressure has resulted in Congress opposing Trump's efforts to build the wall
and expand enforcement measures.
For example, Trump's 2019 budget asked for extra funds to hire 3,312 extra ICE officers
and support staff, and to operate 52,000 detention beds.
But the GOP-led House appropriations committee only approved money for 400 additional law
enforcement officers and support staff, and to operate only 44,000 detention beds.
Senators provided even less for Trump's DHS appropriations budget.
The Senate committee's statement said: the bill funds an average daily population
of 40,520 adult and family detention beds, the same as the fiscal year 2018 enacted amount.
The bill rejects the President's request to hire 3,300 new ICE employees to support
his executive order on immigration.
Trump asked for $5 billion to extend the border wall, but the Senate only approved $1.6 billion.
The House DHS bill — prepared by Kansas Rep. Kevin Yoder — also includes provisions
to greatly expand the inflow of temporary workers.
The extra foreign workers are intended to pressure down wages and salaries for blue-collar
and white-collar Americans.
Amid opposition from Congress, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is using his legal authority
as attorney general to reform the border rules and immigration courts, and to send more migrants
home.
Overall, the Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via immigration shifts
wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with cheap white-collar
and blue-collar foreign labor.
That flood of outside labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries
for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees.
The policy also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment,
increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids' schools and college education, pushes
Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized
Americans and their families, including many
