It’s Working – Migrants are Turning Around Thanks to Trump Crackdown
Despite cries of unconstitutional inhumanity by the deranged left, Trump’s crackdown on illegals and mass deportations is having the desired effect.
According to Internal Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) memos obtained by Fox News, scores of migrants are pulling an about-face at the border due to tighter security,
According to the memos, two groups of migrants recently ended their journeys to the U.S. and turned around to return to their home countries.
Last week, Honduran officers encountered a group of nearly two dozen migrants previously headed for the United States. The individuals hail from Honduras, Venezuela, Panama, and El Salvador.
According to the CBP memo, upon interviewing the migrants, officials learned that they had entered Mexico through the country’s border with Guatemala. However, they decided to turn around after “learning about the multi-agency force security on the Southwest Border in social media and through family members in the United States.”
In its memo, CBP also noted that the migrants surrendered to Mexican authorities before being sent back to Guatemala, where they boarded buses headed to Honduras.
CBP detailed an incident earlier in February in another internal memo in which the Honduran authorities encountered a group of 26 migrants. These migrants were also headed for the U.S. but turned around when they learned about the increased security and opted instead to return to their countries of origin.
The migrants in this second group were apparently from Venezuela and Cuba. They were initially turned away by Nicaraguan immigration officials and sent back to Honduras, but after a discussion between the two nations, they were allowed to cross into Nicaragua as they made their way back home.
President Donald Trump focused much of his 2024 campaign on illegal immigration, vowing to take a completely different approach from former President Joe Biden. While campaigning for his second term, Trump often appeared with families who lost loved ones to illegal immigrant crime or fentanyl.
The first piece of legislation that President Trump signed in his second term was the Laken Riley Act, named for a nursing student who was killed during a jog on the University of Georgia’s campus by an illegal immigrant. Jose Ibarra, who previously had been arrested but never detained by ICE, received a life prison sentence for killing 22-year-old Laken Riley.
President Trump is also taking a novel approach to detaining illegal immigrants. Under President Trump’s order on “Expanding Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to Full Capacity,” illegal immigrants will be housed with the 15 last detainees remaining in the infamous facility.
While I have no doubt Trump policies are blunting illegal immigration, two groups of two dozen is not exactly mission accomplished. Nice try Bill. What a cheerleader you are.
And, amazingly, the author’s discovery of reports of “unconstitutional inhumanity” isn’t even worth an investigative drive-by from the author. Like his Felon King; Bill Sheridan couldn’t care less about these humans as being human and deserving protections from our Bill of Rights. . Those people do not deserve attention by this supposed Christian named Bill.
Trump could have done this legally by passing a Republican bill that includes activation of E-Verify nationally. But passing law is not something Trump can bully his way throughvlike he can put pain in these strangers the way Bill likes it.
It is the right thing to secure the borders; this is the wrong way to handle peaceful, employed, border jumpers, a misdemeanor first offense. .
Why don’t you jump the border heading South and join you illegal alien buddies.
It’s all about incentive versus punishment – or carrot vs stick. The best strategy is remove all the carrots and pick up the toughest stick.
