Trump Plans To Pay Millions To Mexico So It'll Deport Undocumented Immigrants

Remember President Donald Trump’s insistence that Mexico would pay for his border wall? Well, it seems it’s the U.S. that’ll be shelling out millions to its southern neighbor in exchange for helping Trump in his crusade against immigration.

The Trump administration recently sent a notice to Congress saying it plans to divert $20 million allocated for foreign assistance to help Mexico deport up to 17,000 undocumented immigrants from the country, according to a New York Times report published late Wednesday.

The money would reportedly help Mexico pay for the plane and bus fares of deportees. Central Americans attempting to flee to the U.S. via Mexico will be the main target of the initiative.

A Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman confirmed the plan to the Times, saying the administration was “working closely with our Mexican counterparts to confront rising border apprehension numbers.”

U.S. Border Patrol said this week that the number of families arrested for illegally entering the U.S. increased 38 percent in August ― a rise Trump officials described as a crisis.

Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, lambasted Trump’s new $20 million plan, saying the foreign assistance funds had been earmarked by Congress to “lift up communities dealing with crime, corruption and so many other challenges” ― and not to bankroll an immigration crackdown.

“I want answers about why the State Department thinks it can ignore Congress and dump more cash into deportation efforts,” Engel told the Times. “Until then, I’ll do whatever I can to stop this,”

The Trump administration also is being blasted this week for redirecting millions of dollars into efforts to detain and deport undocumented immigrants.

Documents released Tuesday by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) revealed the administration quietly transferred $200 million earlier this year from other government agencies ― including almost $10 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency ― to fatten the budget of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“This is a scandal,” Merkley said in a statement to HuffPost. “At the start of hurricane season — when American citizens in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are still suffering from FEMA’s inadequate recovery efforts — the administration transferred millions of dollars away from FEMA ... And for what? To implement their profoundly misguided ‘zero tolerance’ policy.”

Trump’s proposal to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and his baseless claim that Mexico would pay for it became a rallying cry during his 2016 campaign. He frequently repeats the claim, though his budget proposals have included funding for the wall with money from American taxpayers, not Mexico, which has repeatedly insisted that it won’t pay.

 

Cutting through the rhetoric and just plain bullshit;

The Trump administration will redirect $20 Million in funds earmarked to help communities deal with crime and corruption. Those communities the money is earmarked for by the way? Foreign communities, not US communities. The money is REDIRECTED, not more money. REDIRECTED money.

The money will be used so Mexico will intercept the central Americans (primarily) who are trekking through Mexico to get to our borders. Now, once they step foot on American soil and utter "asylum", they will remain in the US pretty much until their case is heard. This can take weeks, or years. Meanwhile, we get to support them.

Trump's plan? Use $20 Million to pay for the transportation of these folks back to their country of origin, before they get to US soil and can utter "asylum". Cheaper for everyone, including the ILLEGAL immigrant.

So pretty much everyone wins;
We do, cause you know, cheaper. Oh, and it takes pressure off building that wall.
Mexico wins, cause you know, we pay for it. Oh, and it takes pressure off Mexico paying for that wall.
The only maybe losers are the potential ILLEGAL immigrants who will have their dangerous trek interrupted and a quick trip back home.
Now, it can be said they also benefit, cause, you know, no more trekking across the wilderness where scoundrels, rapists, and miscreants lurk to take advantage of them, and they won't waste time in America waiting to have their case heard, you know, while we lock them up in concentration camps.

And it is important to note that Trump's plan will not effect LEGAL immigration one damn bit. Those following the process and the law won't have to be concerned with any of this.

So. Where's the problem again?
Oh yeah
Cause ................ Trump

Border Patrol agent arrested in Texas as a suspected serial killer

Predictable.
The unsupporters have their marching orders. Start demonizing and attacking ICE and the Border Patrol. Budgets are coming up and the goal is open borders.
Make note; the same basic rules apply; accuracy, facts and objectivity are irrelevant. Spin it, twist it, even make it up out of thin air, but ATTACK!

 

Trump used $169 million from other programs to pay for ICE immigrant detention
The total is over $200 million if you include transfers from within ICE.

The U.S. Government Is Moving Hundreds of Migrant Children to Tent Cities in the Middle of the Night

Fuck the little bastards. They need discipline



My kids have never tried to invade any other country I taught them well

 

Sweet fancy crackers.

These are children.

Whose parents were applying for asylum.

Which isn’t even fucking well illegal in your country.

They are not an invading horde.

 

You give up when the getting gets tough.
Or when you hear the TRUTH

 

You WORK next to ILLEGALS everyday and don't call ICE?
Makes you part of the problem. And a hypocrite.

 

You think this is funny?

It's not.

If you are tolerating illegals working in this country you are part of the problem.

Fucking call ICE and keep calling.
And you ought to find another job, you know, with an employer who isn't taking advantage of people and breaking the law.

Not fucking funny. Not at all.

 

I don't begrudge anyone. I dont have to call some else always does lol. When i worked in California. It was extreme there would be no left to do the job when they show up. Lol. At least here theres only a few. Per job i dont kno who calls but Do. It almost impossible to fight now. And believ it or not thier all trump fans lol. Bizzar right They love trump.

 

Shooter you worse than me lol I didn't think that was possible lol lol

 

You don't have your kids do you?

But anyway let's stay on topic here.

The Trump administration resorted to child snatching to try and deter people from coming here seeking asylum which is actually illegal itself under US laws. But they also resorted to something as drastic and dangerous as separating children from their parents with no fucking plan beyond that. They just said grab the kids with no idea what to do with them afterwards. And that ought to be criminal. But at the very least it is really and truly deplorable. And so are the people who support it.
