Quote:Originally posted by JEWELSTAITEFAN: Texas Lt Governor says only 200 miles of Border Wall needed in TX. From Brownsville to Falcon Lake. He is also a big supporter of Trump. Wikipedia says there are 48 legal crossings on the Mexico land Border. Ferry - 1 in TX. Railroad - 8. 2 in CA, 1 in AZ, 5 in TX. Road: 50. 9 in CA, 9 in AZ, 3 in NM, 29 in TX. Not sure why the numbers don't add up. Maybe Libtard Wiki used Libtard Maths for cyphering, or Wiki is not well versed in American English. CA has 140 miles of Border. AZ has 373 miles. NM has 180 miles. TX has 1,241 miles. Total 1,934 miles. If 1,040 miles of Texas Border really doesn't need a Wall, and 14 miles in CA already has one, that leaves 880 miles. Not sure where that 130 miles of natural barrier are located. But apparently not along this 200 mile stretch in TX. Of the 654 miles already built under Bush, if 200 were already in TX, then about 450 are elsewhere. So 450 miles of existing Wall, plus 130 miles of natural barrier, subtracted from 880 miles, leaves only 300 miles of Wall needed. If that 1,000 miles in TX is really not needed. In NM, 180 miles with 3 crossings averages 60 miles between. And AZ with 373 miles and 9 crossings averages 42 miles between. That first kid who died crossed at a point 80 minutes away from the nearest Border Unit, which means the others are closer together. I'll look at that data closer. The 2006 Secure Fence Act, compromised in 2007 by Kay Bailey Hutchinson so that it wouldn't be built. 1. 20 mile fence, centered on Tecate CA. 2. Fence, from 10 miles west of Calexico CA to 5 miles east of Douglas AZ. 3. From 5 miles west of Columbus NM to 10 miles east of El Paso TX. 4. From 5 miles northwest of Del Rio TX to 5 miles southeast of Eagle Pass TX. 5. From 15 miles northwest of Laredo TX to Brownsville TX Port of Entry.

Quote: White House Pushed Secret Plan To Arrest Thousands Of Migrant Families: Reports [HuffPost] Hayley Miller HuffPostMay 14, 2019 Scroll back up to restore default view. Department of Homeland Security officials considered a secret White House plan to arrest thousands of undocumented migrant parents and children in coordinated raids across the U.S., but the idea was tabled due to a lack of resources, reported The Washington Post and The Associated Press. The massive operation was intended to deter people from crossing the border into the U.S. from Mexico, according to the Post and AP, which cited several unnamed current and former Homeland Security officials. But the proposal was reportedly challenged by then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and then-Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Ron Vitiello, who worried not about the ethical implications of such a scenario but about the resources needed to carry it out effectively. The two were ousted from their positions by President Donald Trump weeks later, in part because of their objections to the proposal, reported the Post. The number of people illegally crossing the southern border has sharply risen in the past few months. U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended over 109,000 people at the border in April ? more than double the number of migrants detained during that month last year. A majority of the migrants apprehended were either families traveling together or unaccompanied kids. The White House’s plan, which is reportedly still under consideration, was to arrest parents and children in 10 U.S. cities with large immigrant communities such as New York City and Los Angeles. The targeted individuals would already be subject to final deportation orders by an immigration judge, the Post and AP reported. “There was concern that it was being hastily put together, would be ineffective and might actually backfire by misdirecting resources away from critical border emergency response operations,” a DHS official told the Post. Nielsen and Vitiello also reportedly worried the raids would spark another round of intense public outrage over the Trump administration’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants. Nielsen’s enforcement of the “zero tolerance” policy last summer, which separated children from parents who illegally crossed the border, drew nationwide protest.

Millions of Doctors, engineers, scientists from 160 countries all waiting patiently, who now must wait in line behind the Criminal Illegal Aliens who Creepy Joe is inviting in. I wonder how many Legal Immigration processees just got stiffed?

You prefer the 20 million Criminal Illegal Aliens instead of Legal Immigrants? The legal Immigrants would be mostly Doctors, engineers, highly skilled workers - not competing with you for work. They would all contribute to the tax base, not drain from it.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
Quote:In post-pandemic Europe, migrants will face digital fortress As the world begins to travel again, Europe is sending migrants a loud message: Stay away! (There is) a vast array of physical and experimental new digital barriers being installed and tested during the quiet months of the coronavirus pandemic at the 200-kilometer (125-mile) Greek border with Turkey to stop people entering the European Union illegally. The EU has poured 3 billion euros ($3.7 billion) into security tech research following the refugee crisis in 2015-16, when more than 1 million people — many escaping wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan — fled to Greece and on to other EU countries. The more aggressive migration strategy has been advanced by European policymakers over the past five years, funding deals with Mediterranean countries outside the bloc to hold migrants back and transforming the EU border protection agency, Frontex, from a coordination mechanism to a full-fledged multinational security force. Earlier this month, several thousand migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in a single day, prompting Spain to deploy the army. A similar crisis unfolded on the Greek-Turkish border and lasted three weeks last year. (comment - that border crisis pales in comparison to the current US border crisis.) https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-europe-migration-technology-health-c23251bec65ba45205a0851fab07e9b6
