But keep in mind there have been many 'precedents' put in place which have made enforcing existing immigration laws increasingly difficult to enforce.
We need to force the system to 'follow the rule of law' and not 'precedent'.
It's going to take a lot of work to untangle the knot of legal and illegal immigration laws and 'precedents'.
Also, Trump deflects critics who say he's only targeting illegal aliens.
The fact is the whole system needs a good high colonic.
The Hill’s title is misleading. it should read “Trump makes sure legal immigrants follow the law”.
But of course that wouldn’t make Trump look bad. So let’s stick with a title implying Trump hates all immigrants, even legal ones.
The director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) an office established in 2003 to process immigrant applications for visas, work permits, green cards and citizenship told the Associated Press recently that the agency is hiring dozens of lawyers and immigration officers to review cases of immigrants who are suspected of having lied to officials during the naturalization process.
...
The title is misleading since, in fact, these may not be legal immigrants.
Of course, our definition of "legal immigrants" is a little sketchy.
Mark Steyn has commented on an area regarding chain migration that Trump’s people should look at. Apparently people will sponsor a ‘relative’ when in reality there is no relationship. Probably a pay-off somewhere or other. Maybe DNA testing is in order before accepting these folks.
Ending chain migration would be fine, too!
The memos are really, layer by layer, going after people who are in line doing the right things, Anastasia Tonello, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, saidConsider the source.
Fake news.
Legislation and chain migration
In reaction to the flood of new immigrants brought by the HartCeller Act (1965), and increasing numbers of undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Latin America, Congress attempted to reverse the consequences of the 1965 legislation by enforcing border patrol, using amnesty for undocumented immigrants in the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, and proposing limits to family reunification policies. The effects of the ending the Bracero Program were increased undocumented Mexican migration because of the social capital gained during that period. Chain migration had provided relatively easy access to migration for Mexicans that the immigration legislation of the 1980s to the present has attempted to deal with.
I was under the impression the memos relate to immigrants doing the wrong things.
I wonder if someone saved a copy of the information on muslims that Obama made them delete.
That would be a good starting point.

How about he ramp up ICE to catch and immediately deport? How about he ramp up arrests of any and all who aid and abet illegals including priests, lawyers, employers, relatives, etc.?
try lying on your taxes and filing them, then see what happens when the IRS finds out...crap- they don’t even need to find out- they can just call you out to prove what you filed is legit..
We can call it Comprehensive Enforcement.
No doubt the obama admin did just like city schools and just passed them along without any education or vetting.
Good analysis.
Yep
Where did the idea come from that there is some sort right to enter the United States, legally or not, and to stay as long as they want once here?
Trump ramps up scrutiny of legal immigrantsShouldn't that be "scrutiny of alleged" legal immigrants.
“So far, six individuals have been denaturalized, meaning ICE will decide whether to pursue deportation proceedings.”
I am amazed that there is any decision to be made by ICE here. Their citizenship has been revoked, just what else is necessary to remove them from the country. Do we just let them revert to being Green Card carriers and let them staty?
The article even says:
"The new office is the byproduct of an investigation completed in 2016 by the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) discovered in 2011 that it was missing fingerprint records of immigrants who were fugitives or convicted criminals, as well as those who had deportation orders.
The investigation found that USCIS has granted U.S. citizenship to 858 immigrants who had been ordered deported or removed under another name. "
