“Separation of alien families” is an emotional artifice concocted by globalists.
President Trump made border security and the effective
enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws the centerpiece of his
successful campaign for the presidency.
This has enraged globalist politicians from both political parties who see in America’s borders impediments to their wealth and the wealth of their campaign contributors.
Prior administrations have refused to take immigration law enforcement
seriously and our nation has, as a direct consequence, paid one hell of
a price.
The 9/11 Commission made it
clear, the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 were made possible by
multiple failures of the immigration system that enabled the terrorists
to enter the United States and embed themselves.
The preface of the official report, 9/11 and Terrorist Travel begins with the following paragraph:
It is perhaps obvious to state that terrorists cannot plan and carry
out attacks in the United States if they are unable to enter the
country. Yet prior to September 11, while there were efforts to enhance
border security, no agency of the U.S. government thought of border
security as a tool in the counterterrorism arsenal. Indeed, even after
19 hijackers demonstrated the relative ease of obtaining a U.S. visa and
gaining admission into the United States, border security still is not
considered a cornerstone of national security policy. We believe, for
reasons we discuss in the following pages, that it must be made one.
That report went on to note:
Once terrorists had entered the United States, their next challenge
was to find a way to remain here. Their primary method was immigration
fraud. For example, Yousef and Ajaj concocted bogus political asylum
stories when they arrived in the United States. Mahmoud Abouhalima,
involved in both the World Trade Center and landmarks plots, received
temporary residence under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers (SAW)
program, after falsely claiming that he picked beans in Florida.
In the years since the attacks of 9/11 other terror attacks were
carried out by international terrorists who also exploited
vulnerabilities in the immigration system, killing still more innocent
victims.
Some of the terrorists had
actually been able to acquire political asylum, lawful immigrant status
and even United States citizenship, proving the the entire immigration
system lacked integrity.
Today our
politicians, from both the Democratic and Republican parties, aided by
the mainstream media have constructed irresistible incentives for
millions of illegal aliens to head for the U.S. border, by whatever
means possible.
The biggest incentive for
this stampede is the promise of a massive amnesty program under the
guise of proposed legislation to legalize unknown millions of aliens who
supposedly would have qualified under Obama’s DACA (Deferred Action -
Childhood Arrivals) program.
No interviews
or field investigations could be conducted with such humongous numbers
of applications filed creating an invitation to fraud the 9/11
Commission warned about.
I provided a historical perspective on how DACA came to be in my recent article, DACA: The Immigration Trojan Horse in
which I explained that DACA had its origins in two failed legislative
efforts, Comprehensive Immigration Reform and then the DREAM Act, to
provide up to 90% of the entire illegal alien population of the United
States with lawful status.
My recent article DACA:
Trump and Congress Must Look Before They Leap explained how there would
be no way of knowing how many illegal aliens might apply to participate
in the DACA amnesty that is an integral part of the various immigration
bills being proposed by the House of Representatives.
Last year I addressed the hypocrisy of Chuck Schumer and his cohorts
who refuse to secure the borders or enforce our immigration laws in my
article Opponents of Border Security and Immigration Law Enforement Aid Human Traffickers which contained this paragraph:
Aliens trespassing into the United States poses a serious threat to national security and public safety yet while Mr. Schumer has proposed making
trespassing on landmarks or critical infrastructure a federal crime
with a five year jail sentence to deter this dangerous criminal conduct,
he refuses to take the necessary measures to prevent aliens from
entering the United States illegally by trespassing and/or violating our
immigration laws within the United States.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions “Zero tolerance” position where illegal
aliens evading the inspections along the U.S. / Mexican border has
revved up the immigration anarchists.
Sessions knows that the only way to demonstrate that he is serious about
this vital goal is to prosecute aliens who are arrested entering the
United States without inspection. This is important to not only punish
aliens who violate our immigration laws but to deter others who may be
contemplating committing similar crimes.
Several federal laws address the crime of aliens seeking to enter the United States illegally and one statute in particular, Title 8, United States Code, Section 1326 -
reentry after removal (deportation), imposes a 20 year maximum period
of incarceration for aliens who illegally reenter the United States
after having been deported from the United States and are deemed
“aggravated felons,” that is to say aliens who are convicted of
committing particularly serious crimes.
I
am particularly familiar with this statute, I worked with then Senator
Al D’Amato in the 1980’s to create this section of law.
When people are prosecuted they are arrested and frequently held in
custody or permitted to post bail to guarantee their appearance in court
when required and ultimately, of course, to stand trial unless they
plead guilty to the crimes with which they are charged.
Generally bail is determined by risk of flight of the defendant and may also involve potential threat to community safety.
Every day American citizens are arrested in the United States by local
and state police and by a wide array of federal law enforcement
agencies for committing a wide spectrum of crimes and violations of law,
including administrative laws.
Many of
these suspects have children yet they are led away in handcuffs and may
find themselves serving long prison sentences for their crimes,
separated from their children.
Yet little
if anything is ever reported in the media about these tens of thousands
of incarcerated American citizens who have been sentenced to lengthy
prison sentences and separated from their children.
Now that the Trump administration has taken the long-overdue action to
attempt to discourage massive illegal immigration, politicians from
both sides of the aisle, supposed journalists and members of the clergy,
thumping their bibles, are outraged because illegal aliens are being
arrested and prosecuted for their crimes- crimes that had for far too
long, gone unpunished by previous administrations.
The U.S./Mexican border is a dangerous place. Many people die
attempting to cross into the United States through the desert where high
temperatures, a lack of water, poisonous insects and snakes and violent
gangs and drug smugglers all pose severe threat to the lives of the
aliens.
Children are particularly vulnerable to these extremely adverse and life-threatening conditions.
There are numerous laws on the books that punish those who endanger
others, particularly when those who are endangered are children. To
provide a specific example, let’s consider a New York State law known as
the Child Passenger Protection Act, also known as Leandra’s Law, that has been on the books since Dec. 18, 2009. and is explained in a press release.
According to the press release, 36 states have passed similar laws
that provide for strict penalties when a drunk drive causes the death or
serious injury of a child. Under Leandra’s law a drunk driver may be
sentenced to up to 15 years in prison if he/she causes the serious
injury of a child under 16 years of age and up to 25 years in prison if
the accident causes the death of a child.
A
parent who causes the serious injury of his child may be separated from
that child and other children by spending up to 15 years behind bars.
Would anyone dare suggest that such an individual not be incarcerated
after committing such a crime?
What choice does the Trump administration have?
To not end lawlessness on the Mexican border endangers national
security and public safety. This can only happen by strict enforcement
of our laws. As I noted during one of my early appearances as an expert
witness at a congressional hearing, it has been said that you only get
one opportunity to make a first impression. For millions of people
around the world the first set of laws they encounter are our
immigration laws. When we demonstrate an unwillingness to secure our
borders and enforce our laws we send the very dangerous message that
violations of our laws will not only go unpunished but rewarded.
To not prosecute and incarcerate aliens who seek to enter the United
States with children would just encourage more aliens to endanger their
children by seeing in that child a “Get out of jail card.”
The message would be clear and utterly insane, either enter the United
States with a visa or bring a child with you if you are ineligible to
enter legally.
Here is the message that must be sent to all aspiring illegal aliens:
A child is not a substitute for a visa!
