On December 18, 2017 two important documents were published that illustrate that President Trump is determined to keep his campaign promises and protect America and Americans.
First of all, on that day the official White House website posted a document that laid out President Trump’s national security strategy to “advance America’s interests.” His national security strategy includes border security and meaningful enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws from within the interior of the United States. Here is the excerpt from that document:
PROTECT THE HOMELAND: President Trump’s fundamental responsibility is to protect the American people, the homeland, and the American way of life.
We will strengthen control of our borders and reform our immigration system to protect the homeland and restore our sovereignty.
The greatest transnational threats to the homeland are:
Jihadist terrorists, using barbaric cruelty to commit murder, repression, and slavery, and virtual networks to exploit vulnerable populations and inspire and direct plots.
Transnational criminal organizations, tearing apart our communities with drugs and violence and weakening our allies and partners by corrupting democratic institutions.
America will target threats at their source: we will confront threats before they ever reach our borders or cause harm to our people.
The second document to consider is the Government Executive Magazine report, “Trump Administration Seeks Outside Help to Hire 26,000 New Immigration Enforcement Personnel.”
According to the article, the administration is seeking to hire 10,000 more ICE personnel and 5,000 additional employees for the Border Patrol and continue to hire even more personnel over time. Clearly the administration is determined to not just talk about the need to secure our nation’s borders and enforce our immigration laws but to actually achieve these critical goals.
However, it is imperative that if the administration is able to overcome Congressional resistance to hiring enforcement personnel that ICE not distract them from the immigration law enforcement mission...
These new ICE agents should be used to combat immigration fraud to not only target the aliens who enter into conspiracies but also U.S. citizens who, for example, engage in marriage fraud. Task forces such as the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Organized Crime, Drug Enforcement Task Force (where I spent the final 10 yeas of my career with the former INS) would certainly benefit greatly from an infusion of large numbers of immigration law enforcement personnel...
America’s immigration crisis is the result of the determined efforts by political leaders from both parties, to make certain that the immigration system delivers what their deep-pocketed contributors such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce want, a virtually unlimited supply of cheap and compliant labor, unlimited foreign tourists and a massive influx of foreign students. Indeed, the frequent claims that the immigration system is broken are utter falsehoods...
