Trump scores once again!

"Most all of the deportations and detentions we have had on the southern border have their roots in this twenty year old law. However, one very simple nuance in this law has never been enforced."

Did you know (I sure did not), that during the Clinton Administration, there was a bill passed by Congress, and then signed into law by Bill Clinton, which has never been fully enforced? And because it has never been fully enforced, the cost to this country has been enormous. Plus, it has given us a flood of immigrants. Donald Trump is now decided to enforce this law. Get ready folks. You are about to hear the squealing and caterwauling from the Loony Left.

In 1996, then President Bill Clinton signed into law the Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act. No AOC. No Speaker Pelosi. No Senator Schumer - Donald Trump did not create this border mess. Nor did Barack Obama. Nor did Bill Clinton. But Bill Clinton could see this mess becoming a mess. So he signed into law this very harsh bill regarding immigration. And Barack Obama used this law to deport thousands of immigrants.

Our immigration enforcement today has its roots in this Clinton era law. GASP! WHAT? Somebody better tip off the media about this! They have been telling EVERYONE, EVERY DAY, that President Trump has caused the mess on the southern border. However, the facts don't back that assertion up. Not even close. 

Most all of the deportations and detentions we have had on the southern border have their roots in this twenty year old law. However, one very simple nuance in this law has never been enforced. And Donald Trump is now aware of that nuance, and WILL start enforcing it. Heads up Lutheran Social Services, Catholic Charities and any other immigrant sponsoring agency. This one is going to hurt a bit. 

It seems when you sponsor an immigrant to come into this country, they are not to be a perpetual welfare cases (as many are now). The sponsoring agency is to take full financially care of the immigrant, until the immigrant is self sufficient. SHOULD THE IMMIGRANT NOT BE SELF SUFFICIENT, any monies the government has used to support the immigrant, needs to be repaid to the government by the immigrant's sponsoring agency. BAM! That one is going to leave a mark! 

What could the enforcement of ALL aspects of this law do to our crisis on the southern border? First off, this law has teeth in it, which have not been fully used as they should have been. Next, this has cost this country billions of dollars which it should not have been. How example, how many Somalis living in Cedar Riverside are "on the dole"? Quite a few, I would imagine. Someone (who sponsored them coming here) is going to receive a king size bill.

Before we pop the corks, be aware that the 9th Circuit is probably itching to have this law throw out, for a variety of reasons. Translation = this might have make it to the Supreme Court for final adjudication. In any event, it was a ray of sunshine in this otherwise bleak immigration issue. Stay tuned on this one folks.
