The Fundamental Transformation of American Immigration

Immigration is a concept that has divided America. An understanding of what Immigration has done in the past and what it will do in the future is something that must be understood and dealt with. The discussion must be engaged by all, including the administration in charge, the other countries involved and the citizens who take part.

September 11, 2001 forced changes in US immigration policy. The Homeland Security Act split the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) into three sections: Customs and Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and US Citizen and Immigration Services. Not surprisingly, this latest federal attempt to make things easier has made coordination of Immigration Services much more difficult.

At present there is confusion about what this administration is attempting to do. Executive action has allowed those covered by Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to obtain work permits, taking positions from American citizens who need jobs and lowering the wages of those who have jobs. Although this administration would say differently, data from ICE has shown a 58% decrease in deportation.

In February of 2015, Federal District Judge Andrew Hanen put a judicial hold on Obama’s immigration program. (1) Of course the administration has continued to work with illegals against the order. One year earlier, in April of 2014, 872,000 illegals were released onto the American public including 165,000 convicted criminals. Many of the challenges we face are based on Obamas “prosecutorial discretion” and “deferred actions.” This has had a detrimental impact on the economy as American citizens lose jobs to illegal aliens and wages stagnate across the nation.

But of course, the well-being of American citizens is hardly a priority for Barack Obama. This most corrupt president in the nation’s history knows full well that illegals are...

Divided America? if you call 85% to 15% divided, I guess so.

The title of this column is why I fell for TRUMP hard.

He arrived on the scene realizing my own greatest concern, my own number one issue— the “Fundamental Transformation of America”, the Obama promise.

TRUMP failed miserably in using that important term, first spoken by Obama under the Greek columns, and fails to use it today.

This term revealed the Marxist underpinning of Obama to do every single he did to our country.

Hillary agrees with it and will implement it to swell the Democratic Party.

Cruz uses it for political gain and is unserious about it.

TRUMP will kick the doors in, I pray, with rude boots and determination to reverse this INVASION.

God help us.
