Nope, no emergency at all
Deportation officers are cutting loose more than 1,000 illegal immigrant family members a day, setting them free into border states as the surge of migrations overwhelms the government’s ability to handle them, officials revealed Thursday.
Over the last three months, about 107,000 family members were caught at the border and then released, with ankle monitoring devices or check-in schedules and the often vain hope that they will show up for their court hearings and deportation.
Worse yet, officials say, they have had to pull deportation officers off duty in prisons and jails, where they were arresting criminal migrants, and deployed them to the border to help the Border Patrol release all the families.
“The current crisis that is occurring at the southwest border, the numbers that we collectively as a nation are seeing … is absolutely unprecedented,” said Nathalie R. Asher, acting executive associate director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation division.
I suppose that those who advocate for illegal immigrants will find these statistics non-alarming, perhaps even pleasing. I don’t think the majority of Americans—and that includes legal Hispanic immigrants—would be any too pleased about the same developments. But I’m not at all sure the news will reach most of them.
And if it does, the left has an answer:
Immigrant advocates suggested the releases were intended to sow confusion at the border and further President Donald Trump’s argument that there is a national emergency there.
“They are doing this deliberately so they can release a ton of people at once and create chaos,” said Efren Olivares, an attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project, which sent lawyers to the McAllen bus station to monitor developments. “The government is trying to do this.”
The USA is facing an ongoing hostile invasion. We are not repealing this invasion with military force because the left welcomes it and the right lacks intestinal fortitude.
the right lacks intestinal fortitude
Many on the right are on board. The center, well… prudence, indeed, will dictate. Thus is the American character.
Sorry, neo. I’m still trying to figure out firefox. Good advice though even if ou you come to regret it. The browser seems to have been the problem. Problem solved, new capability to speak unpleasant truths to those who want to speak pleasant lies.
parker on, I am receiving but not understanding. working from personal *knowledge every ship in the fleet and every Marine Corps Regiment is fueled by intestinal fortitude.
Please advise, over.
*perhaps my USA, USCG, and USAF brothers and sisters can weigh in on the question of intestinal fortitude.

There are better ways to change the law than simply by not enforcing it, especially the parts that would get a CITIZEN fined or jailed.
It occurred to me (finally?) that the Left and Dems and even some Conservatives (the Compassionate ones-TM) all see themselves as the priest in “Les Mis” saving the unfairly oppressed Jean Valjean (he was) from the evil (he wasn’t) Inspector Javert.
Except that there was only one each of those int he novel.
If the parish & diocese had encountered 20-1000 escaped convicts daily, maybe they would not have been so profligate with the church’s silver.
And of course, it would have been a different story altogether if Valjean had clubbed the priest over the head, raped the housekeeper, cleaned out the silver that wasn’t gifted to him and everything else, and gone on to lead a life of crime, instead of repenting and improving.
I am trying toe setle down. Hate muddles the mind.
