President Donald Trump blamed former President Barack Obama for “catch and release” policies that allowed more illegal immigrants to remain in the United States. “President Obama made changes that basically created no border,” Trump said, criticizing the “so weak and so pathetic” laws for immigration enforcement.

He said that the caravan of illegal immigrants traveling from Honduras through Mexico made him sad.

“The caravan makes me very sad — that this could happen to the United States when you have thousands of people that decide to just walk into our country, and we don’t have any laws that can protect it,” he said.

Trump cited reports that the latest caravan was breaking up in Mexico, giving credit to its tough immigration laws.

I think catch and release pre-dates Hussein. What Hussein did was put it on steroids and scattered the vermin throughout the country.

What Obama did, scattering children all over the country after encouraging them to come here - was pure evil.

I don’t want to think or visualize what would have happened if the Hilldebeeste was elected - she’d be at the border welcoming her new Democrat voters.

“He made changes that basically created no border,” Trump said...“weak and pathetic laws for immigration enforcement."

Obama did everything under the sun to suckup to illegals.....except fellate an illegal on the Capitol steps.

Donald... Stop blaming Obama and issue an EO ending the catch and release policy. All this whining about illegals is tiresome. Shoot people crossing the border and all this crap will stop.

Only Congress can stop Catch and Release, by appropriating more money for more cells/detention beds, judges, courtrooms, hearing officers, etc.

After you catch an OTM, if you can't process them, you have to give them an order appear for their hearing, then release them.

In the case of the children, they can't be put in jail cells, they have to be held in a "home-like" setting.

It probably isn’t that simple. They may be Obama policies, but were they implemented with legislation? What role is the judiciary playing?

Trump is clearly negotiating with Congress. And it’s better that he negotiate with Congress first and only resort to unilateral actions when Congress fails to deliver.

True...He and soros orchestrated and funded their transport to the U.S.

O’muslim gave out visas to any third worlder that wanted to come here including Ebola patients. They were wildly successful in their plan to replace our population.

One of Obama’s main concerns was to find ways to really stick it to whitey.

This refugee caravan could be the biggest present President Trump could ask for. Notice you don’t see any democrats running to the microphones sticking up for these “dreamers”.
