DHS Nielsen: Border Security Is in ‘System-Wide Meltdown’
www.breitbart.com ^ | 28 Mar 2019 | NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 03/29/2019 10:47:29 AM PDT by Red Badger

The fast-growing migrant rush over the U.S. border is collapsing border security and overwhelming the ability of border agents to process and protect migrants, DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said in a Thursday letter to all members of Congress.

“We face a system-wide meltdown … We are witnessing the real-time dissolution of the immigration system,” the head of the Department of Homeland Security wrote March 28 in a six-page letter. She added that she will soon ask for an emergency funding bill:

I will be working with the Office of Management and Budget to provide you additional details in the near future, but the situation is so dire we want to make notification to you now that we will require additional resources … to ensure immediate safety and care of individuals in our custody.

Her letter emphasized her concern for the aid and welfare of the migrants, and she minimized any mention of Americans’ concerns about the personal and financial costs imposed by the cartels’ trafficking of drugs into U.S. communities and of cheap labor into U.S. workplaces. She also did not mention the opposition by Congress and the business sector to legal reforms that would curb cheap-labor migration, such as the E-Verify system, which exposes employers who try to hire illegals. She wrote:

My greatest concern is for the children [brought by the migrants], who are put at high risk by this emergency and who are arriving sicker than ever before after travelling on the treacherous trek … a resource surge is needed throughout the system to ensure efficient throughput and proper care [of migrants] … including conducting [health and] welfare checks, preparing meals, and accounting for personal property.

Southern Border extreme crisis resulting in martial law has been planned since 1984.
Stay tuned...

Rex 84 & Garden plot:

https://www.constitution.org/abus/garden_plot/garden_plot.htm

The Rex 84 Program was originally established on the reasoning that if a “mass exodus” of illegal aliens crossed the Mexican/US border, they would be quickly rounded up and detained in detention centers by FEMA.

Existence of the Rex 84 plan was first revealed during the Iran-Contra Hearings in 1987, and subsequently reported by the Miami Herald on July 5, 1987

” These camps are to be operated by FEMA should martial law need to be implemented in the United States and all it would take is a presidential signature on a proclamation and the attorney general’s signature on a warrant to which a list of names is attached.”

First, withdraw all foreign aid from Honduras, Guatalmala and El Salvador. Second, a 30% remittance tax on remittances through Western Union to Mexico and Central America. Third, use the monies from the remittance tax to build the wall.Fourth, every day introduce a bill in the Senate and House to end catch and release and each time the Dems vote against it, make a media campaign complete with photos of the migrant caravans to underscore that the Dems are the sole reason for the existence of illegal immigration

It’s because they smell weakness thanks to Trump ending child separation thanks to his idiot son-in-law, and talking about how we need “more workers”

Kushner and Ivanka need to go back to New York, pronto. Every major policy blunder is LITERALLY because of him.

“In 28 days, and in the same month President Donald Trump declared a national emergency in order to build a border wall, 76,103 immigrants without the needed documentation to enter the U.S. either presented themselves at legal ports of entry or were apprehended by Border Patrol between ports of entry.”

Translate 76,103 into military terms: A Central American army of 5 infantry divisions (15,000 soldiers per division) invaded the US in Feb 2019. This has reinforced the initial attack launched in Jan of 4 infantry divisions totaling 58,219 troops.

Gosh. We were promised by the GOP establishment back in 1986 that an Amnesty would solve this problem once and for all.

What could possibly have gone wrong?

Did decades of refusal to deport illegal aliens somehow give the entire 3rd world the (correct) idea that anyone who sneaked into the United States could stay forever?

How could rewarding them for treating the border like a joke ever encourage millions more to do the same?

Secretary Nielsen - damn the torpedoes.

If the situation is as dire as you say, and we all know it is, we do not have the luxury of worrying about who might or might not get hurt.

By the way, the blame goes to the parents of the children you say you are ‘concerned’ about, not us. Or you. Please stop placating the left, it never works anyway.

Thanks for the ping and the analysis of what this invasion means in military terms.

Exactly.

And from the left's playbook, "don't let this crisis go to waste".

Use it to implement REAL border security!

Wait a minute -

Rush and Levin and Hannity have told us for years that all we need to do is push the ‘R’ lever and “then keep their feet to the fire!” (Levin).

Or, if you objected to voting for a RINO because the party bosses sandbagged the conservative, Rush would say: “how do you win by losing? I never could understand how you can win by losing...”.

Not the least of which are the establishment sellouts on and offline who roast you if you even hesitate to vote for the Republican on the ticket.

So if you want to point the finger as to why the likes ofFlimsey Grahamnesty, Thom Tillis, Gardner, McSally, Daines, Collins, Cornyn, Capito, Enzi, Rounds, Sasse, Hyde-Smith, McConnell, etc., don’t go away, look to them as well.

And a healthy amount of blame goes to Ronna Romney and Karl Rove.
