Durbin Statement On Reports Of National Guard Deportation Force
United States Senator Dick Durbin ^ | 2/17/2017 | United States Senator Dick Durbin

Posted on 02/17/2017 11:56:15 AM PST by mdittmar

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee, released the following statement after a leaked pre-decisional memo outlining a Trump Administration plan to mobilize 100,000 National Guard troops to arrest and detain unauthorized immigrants. The reports are being denied by the White House and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
 
“The reported Trump Administration plan to mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to arrest and detain unauthorized immigrants would be a frightening exercise of police state tactics.

"Trump executive orders have re-defined criminal activity so as to make undocumented immigrants with traffic offenses priorities for deportation. The same order calls for increasing the number of ICE agents to enforce the order from 5,000 to 15,000.

"Now, this plan which would add 100,000 Guardsmen to the effort shows the extreme measures the Trump Administration would take to break up families and deport people who have lived in this country peaceably for decades.

"We cannot rein in the hateful anti-immigrant agenda of the Administration unless the American people stand in solidarity against it.

“This is not a bizarre tweet. This is a brazen, heavy-handed assault on innocent people.”

Alright Dustbin, they are coming for you too. You might as well believe that as the fake news of the 100,000 guardsmen.

Little Dick took the bait. Gotta love it when the White House starts leaking fake news to the “media”.

The democrats are doing the job for us. They’re going to scare the illegals into deporting themselves and Trump won’t have to do a thing.

Thanks Dems!

""Trump executive orders have re-defined criminal activity so as to make undocumented immigrants with traffic offenses priorities for deportation."

Traffic tickets are the tip of the iceberg, with DUIs, red-light violations, etc., getting ranked as "traffic tickets."

Just 4 weeks ago having had a drunk, multi-DUI wetback run a redlight, damaging my truck to the tune of $8000 and totalling another car, I'd be happy to have *THAT* illegal put in the first empty cattle car headed south!

This is Obama and Soros trying to whip the La Razans into a frenzy distributing fake news. Next week they’ll work the blacks, then follow-up with the Muslims the week after that. So I’m wondering ...surely Trump knows who is behind all of this when is he going to remove this major problem?

Pretty soon someone is going to get caught in the sifting screen.

The process of elimination will work.

Who knew what and when.....

No Durbin, you execrable toady.
Now if a miracle had occurred and you'd said this:

- - -
so as to make undocumented immigrants  with traffic offenses  priorities for deportation
- - -

.. a few people might have been fooled into thinking you'd found a clue somewhere.

But even then they'd be wrong because these wetbacks and muzzards are NOT undocumented immigrants, they are f'n INVADERS !

Was he drunk? You know the odds. The hit the beer and liquor stores as soon as they get off work and drink all night. I've been hit by a drunk Mexican driver myself. No comprende. No drivers license. No insurance. Yeah I understand exactly how you feel.
