Immigration hardliners gain key Trump posts in USCIS shake-up
CBS via YAHOO ^ | November 21, 2019 | Camilo Montoya-Galvez

A group of immigration hardliners, including some who worked at an organization that has been described as a hate group by an advocacy watchdog that monitors extremism, have gained powerful posts in the federal agency in charge of administering benefits for immigrants, asylum-seekers and refugees.

The appointments at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) follow the recent promotion of its former acting director, Ken Cuccinelli, to the second-highest position at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Cuccinelli has been a vocal proponent of measures to restrict both legal and unauthorized immigration.

John Zadrozny, who was a top aide to Cuccinelli, has been promoted to acting chief of staff, while Robert Law, formerly a senior adviser, was named acting chief of policy.

Both Zadrozny and Law have worked for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), whose stated mission is to "reduce overall immigration to a more normal level," and which has been designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization that advocates for progressive issues and monitors the activities of groups it considers extremist.

When are the around 30 million illegal, according to a new Yale study, going to be deported? Deportations under Trump are down. Will these new folks reverse that and get serious about deporting them. Allowing for five years, that is over 16,000 PER DAY. Getting eVerify in place and requiring it for both new and existing workers will help move things along—no jobs, no ability or incentive to stay or even come here.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate group and Morris Dees is a bigot.

It’s worse than that, they are enemies of America.

In the words of Atlantic County Prosecutor Damon G. Tyner:

“The vicarious trauma that they placed on the kids and students that were at that game will be untold. And that should be criminal enough".

CBS has been designated as a communist propaganda organization by me, and I know more about CBS’s playing with the reds than SPLC knows about FAIR, etc.

Guess that makes us even. No, it makes my words more truthful and accurate than any crap CBS (Communist Broadcasting System) spews.

Prediction.....w/ regards to the President’s 15-D chess.

Gets an Establishment guy like Wolf at DHS...because he’s nothing more than a Establishment, DC, lobbyist, policy wonk that has never put on body armor or a duty belt, he slides into his current position without any issues....he then appoints Cuccinelli as his #2 ... Cuccinelli, given his record and the fact that Northern Virginia does not like him, would have a tougher time getting the #1 position ... Wolf will hold this position for a little bit, maybe longer, as long as he heeds Cuccinelli’s advice on how to deal with immigration issues and his hard line stance on them ... President gets re-elected, Republican’s maintain control of Senate and possibly retake control of the House ... and if we’re really, really lucky Ginsburg is replaced with Barret ... Wolf is out, Cucinelli takes over as Sec of DHS .... no telling what happens if those pieces fall into place

‘Hard-liners’ is code for those willing to follow and execute the laws on the books.

There are probably more than 30 million illegals in the US

There is absolutely no way we are going to be able to deport all 30 million illegals ever, nor it simply is not feasible or desirable to do. Nor is it in the best interests of the United States to do so

Ha...you need to get up to speed

Cut off the benefits and they will leave

Trump has already implemented several

And enforcing existing laws.

The alternative to legal immigration is illegal immigration, not merely "unauthorized." Nice try, CBS.

Legal immigration is just as bad as illegal immigration. We need to stop importing socialists and welfare recipients from all over the world.

Idiots like you make me want to vomit. If you cut off all aid and jobs they will SELF DEPORT. They walked in they can walk back out. Get the H out of here loser. What would be desirable would if you went with the departing illegals. AMF.

"There is absolutely no way we are going to be able to deport all 30 million illegals ever, nor it simply is not feasible or desirable to do."

It's called "self deporting". Start slapping million dollar fines on EMPLOYERS caught with illegals, and instill the fear of a vengeful Almighty in their souls.

Suddenly, business owners will do a little math, and determine that if they don't want to live under a bridge and wave a cardboard sign at a stop light, they will start checking the SSNs for all their employees...

And just a few HR people getting a perp walk will send a message...

This story warms my heart. I’ve been a big fan of Cuccinelli for years and am delighted to see him near the top of DHS. And the fact that he has brought on come guys from FAIR (a pro-American organization), which has been targeted by the hate group SPLC, is icing on the cake.

————-

Thirty million people is about one ten people within our borders

If you count their children, who are at least for now citizens due to birth right citizenship, its more like one in eight or nine.

If you suddenly removed ten percent of our population our economic system would grind to a halt and we would go into an economic collapse which would make the Great Depression look like a minor economic speed bump.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but illegals have become such a macro economic force in our economy from both a worker and consumer demand perspective. You just cant suddenly remove that many workers who are also consumers from our economy without massive economic dislocations.

And that's if trying to deport 30 million people does not spark an already brewing civil war. And we are nearly outnumbered in the military age demographics which illegals dominate

That said, as per Obama’s Eric Holder’s DOJ, roughly 20 percent of the illegals in US are hard core criminals committing serious felony and violent crime. With 30 million illegals here, 20 percent criminal gives us roughly 6 million hard core criminal illegals that we have to apprehend, deport and then keep from returning. That alone is no small job

Another 6 million or so are undesirable aliens due to less serious criminality, the fact that they are non productive spongers only here ride the welfare system or because they have serious medical issues and are looking for free health care.

So we do have 12 million illegals that absolutely have to be deported

If that does not make you happy, deporting 12 million people will at least keep you busy for a while . Especially since that's more than the official 11 million illegals the media gas lights us with

Unfortunately, that leaves 18 million productive members of of our society that we have to come to grips with - in an aging country with 3 percent unemployment

Sorry to break the bad news.

Welcome to the party

Let’s hope Pres. Trump puts the full package out there. This should be part of a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1987 ONE TIME amnesty. The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1987 goes like this -

1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural parents);
5) end work visas;
6) 10-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (40 years to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund.

Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls.
