Good luck.  The  assholes who voted for this are cheering this behavior.   Get in here @Mercalius @Little Earl@Titandan@El Guapo@LongTimeFan@KenAmato58and others....  Tell us why this is good. 

lol.   Thanks to brain dead Biden and idiot policies of the left, all sorts of unvetted people were allowed into this country.   Too damn bad if a couple of bad incidents occur while trying to fix this mess Biden created.

Answer the question asshole and quit blaming PREVIOUS presidents.

Seems to me that when Biden took office, illegal immigration was pretty goddamn far down the list of priorities, thanks to Trump’s incompetent mishandling and abdication of leadership during the pandemic leaving the economy and America’s healthcare systems in total disarray.  
 

 In a national crisis that demanded wisdom and leadership from the President….Trump shut down and literally whined that people were being  mean to him.  
 

And then when Biden DID push for immigration reform…it got shot down because Republicans refused to vote for the bipartisan legislation they themselves had co-authored.   Not because of shortcomings in the legislation, but  because Trump instructed them not to pass it…because he didn’t want Biden getting credit for addressing the issue. 
 

If immigration was a mess….it was because Republicans refused to pass the bill they wrote to address it.

I dearly hope you have a situation in which your rights are taken from you in an instant for no reason. 

 

Maybe at the gates of hell.

By removing some policies and EO's of the Biden administration and enforcing the current laws, illegal immigration has been stopped. 

 

Proving that no new laws were needed, just enforcing the current laws.

That's because they are garbage people.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced an uncomfortable and revealing exchange on Sunday after attempting to blame last week’s deadly shooting of two National Guard members on the Biden administration—only to be confronted with the fact that the suspect’s asylum was actually approved under former President Donald Trump’s second administration.

 

During an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, Secretary Noem swiftly placed blame on President Biden, arguing that his administration had allowed dangerous individuals into the country without adequate background checks. “The vetting process happens when the person comes into the country, and Joe Biden completely did not vet any of those individuals, did not vet this individual!” Noem said, asserting that the shooting was the predictable result of what she characterized as failed immigration policy.

 

But moderator Kristen Welker quickly challenged Noem’s account, noting a key fact that undermined her claim: Lakanwal’s asylum request was approved this April, during the Trump administration—not under Biden.

 

The correction appeared to catch Noem off guard. Her response—“Yeah, the vetting process all happened under Joe Biden's administration”—sidestepped the timeline entirely. Welker pressed her again, reiterating that whatever vetting did or did not occur when Lakanwal arrived in the United States, his asylum determination was still granted during Trump’s second term. That distinction is significant in terms of administrative responsibility, especially because asylum approval involves its own independent process, separate from the screening that happens when a migrant first enters the country.

Hegseth is a war criminal. No way around it. McCarthy is a former federal terrorism prosecutor. 

 

Congress has incorporated “grave breaches” of CA3 in the penal code’s war crimes statute — Section 2441 — when “committed in the context of and in association with an armed conflict not of an international character” (which is how the administration describes its operations in the Caribbean). These grave breaches include “murder,” defined as follows:

The act of a person who intentionally kills, or conspires or attempts to kill, or kills whether intentionally or unintentionally in the course of committing any other offense under this subsection, one or more persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including those placed out of combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause. [Emphasis added.]

Other offenses under the subsection include “intentionally causing serious bodily injury.”

I don’t mean to be melodramatic (especially because, as I’ve discussed with Rich on the podcast, President Trump is undoubtedly going to pardon any administration officials in potential legal jeopardy), but the penalty for a war crimes violation is life imprisonment, or death, if the criminal act results in death.

Finally, I would observe that — again, if the Post report is accurate — Hegseth and his commanders changed the protocols after the September 2 attack, “to emphasize rescuing suspected smugglers if they survived strikes.” This is why two survivors in a subsequent strike (on October 16) were captured and then repatriated to their native countries (Colombia and Ecuador).

This was a ludicrous outcome: under prior policy, the boat would have been interdicted, the drugs seized, and the operators transferred to federal court for prosecution and hefty sentences. Under the Trump administration’s policy, if the operators survive our missiles, they get to go back home and rejoin the drug trade. But put that aside. The point is that, if the administration’s intent to apply lethal force were a defense to killing shipwrecked suspected drug traffickers, the policy wouldn’t have been changed. It was changed because Hegseth knows he can’t justify killing boat operators who survive attacks; and he sends them home rather than detaining them as enemy combatants because, similarly, there is no actual armed conflict, so there is no basis to detain them as enemy combatants.

This is a very serious matter. The administration’s defense can’t be that “we killed them because our plan is to use lethal force.”

Btw how hilarious is it they changed the protocol after murdering two people because they knew it was unlawful, so now the protocol is these people are so dangerous you should kill them...but if you don't then just hand them back to their country! Absolute insanity.

I'm guessing Reagan judges are libtards these days. 

 

 

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan judge who took the bench in 1987, wrote days later that in his 37 years of judgeship, he could not recall a time when “such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream.”  “I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved ‘in an orderly fashion’ like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as ‘political prisoners’ or even, incredibly, ‘hostages,’” the judge wrote. “That is all preposterous.” 

 

The trend has continued as Trump has pushed the bounds of presidential authority. 

 

U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, who took the bench in 1981, wrote in a February decision striking down Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order that, to Trump, “the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals.” 

 

The rest of the article is other Reagan judges essentially putting their line in the sand, but as I noted they're now all libtards and should be disregarded.

Ain't that right @Little Earl?

Trump made about 400 posts on Truth Social in an hour last night. The man is deranged and as he ages he's becoming more and more like a psychopathic 14 year old school girl.
