The 'new' policies are not NEW. They're simply being enforced for the first time in a long time.

I've got no problem with the enforcement; though I must admit (based on the stories I read) the initial implementation was poorly executed. The limited implementation (7 countries) is at least an attempt to continue the immigration flow while choking off prime sources of people that want to kill us.

Current-day America has set itself up for immigration failure. Its large public-welfare programs (collectively) are the prime reason for the immigration failure. The ability for EMPLOYERS to use illegals as an alternate labor force is the second most important cause for our large number of illegals. The public-welfare programs support the illegals before hiring and then subsidize the employers' cost by allowing illegals to take jobs at a lower pay scale.

ANY attempt to fix immigration must focus on EMPLOYERS. When an employer is caught employing illegals, it must not only pay the current set of fines but should also have to pick up the tab for housing and maintenance of that illegal (and family) until such time as the illegal (and family) can be repatriated to their homeland; the employer will also pay the relocation costs. At some point in time if the employer is a repeat offender, corporate officers from the CEO down to the hiring manager should face imprisonment.

One other category of immigration needs to be handled differently too; that category is refugees.

A refugee (by my definition) is a person that has left an intolerable situation and sought refuge in America. If (sometime in the future) the refugee feels comfortable enough to return to his/her homeland then his/her refugee status in America should be immediately revoked and the refugee refused re-admittance to America under their original status.

To me, there was nothing wrong with the law as it stood. I think the only reason it was amended was to skirt around the courts which I also think they do not have the say so on this issue.

I still say that if we enforce the laws on the books on immigration and enforce our local laws on illegal's, we wouldn't have the problems we do now. What the government does from here on will be :too little too late:.

Try to stay out of the issue until I have no choice but to respond! Long Long Long subject, 15 bullet points at least, may I never go through those again!

It is a day late , something that should have been done years ago. The laws have not been enforced on immigration and enforcing them now is causing confusion and upsetting alot of people but I am fully behind President Trump in his effort to keep America safe.

I lock my doors at night, not because I don't love the people outside but because I love the people inside.
Same principle with this country. I welcome immigrants that's what this country is based on. But they need to follow a process, just do it the right way just like most of our ancestors did that's all. It is important to remember, being here is a privilege not a right.

We need to do a better job protecting our country from possible threats. I have no problem with immigration in fact that is what this country is based on. I just want to see people come to this wonderful place the right way.
