LIFE IN THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE: HERE’S A SHOCKER FROM TAL & SAM PATELLA @ CNN: TRUMP/SESSIONS “GONZO” IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT POLICIES UNRELATED TO REALITY!

 

3 graphs that explain Trump’s dilemma on the border

By Tal Kopan and Sam Petulla, CNN

President Donald Trump’s now-reversed “zero-tolerance” policy to prosecute parents who illegally cross the border with their children did not come out of thin air.

The policy, which drew international outcry for its effect of separating thousands of immigrant families, followed months of previous Trump administration efforts to change border policies, including by rolling back a host of protections for immigrant families put in place by courts and Congress.

Though these moves are partly a reflection of this President’s far more aggressive stance toward immigration, they also reflect this simple fact: Migration at the southern border today is entirely different than it was five years ago.

Much of Trump’s rhetoric on the border harks back a decade, to a time when mostly Mexican individuals were crossing the border illegally in huge numbers looking for work.

But today the situation is far different. Illegal immigration from Mexicans has dropped substantially, and increasingly migrants are fleeing violence and instability in Central America.

The pool of migrants is also increasingly made up of families and of children on their own. Many of them seek asylum when they arrive, believing they may qualify for protections designed for immigrants fleeing persecution in their home countries. They may also know that the court backlog means they’ll likely get to live in the US for at least a few years while they pursue their claims.

WOW! You mean White Nationalism, Racism, and Child Abuse aren’t good policies? Who would have thought that?

But remember, truth, facts, common sense, and human decency are all irrelevant in the Trump Regime!
