“This includes prioritizing cases involving the unlawful transportation or harboring of aliens, especially when the individual was illegally brought into the United States to facilitate future criminal activities.”
Oh, so we can punish people now for things they might do in the future?

In reply to ken. Not one of that stripe, anyway, and I wouldn't hold out much hope for a completely honest answer from one on either side of the aisle.

In reply to Gregory Peterson. I'm aware that they're not all Mexican. It's really President Trump and White Supremacist Sessions who can't tell the difference. Hell, they can't even tell Puerto Rico.

In reply to xulon.

Actually, I think that many of the people are from unstable areas in Central America and had to cross Mexico to get to our border.

Of course Hispanic/Indigenous American people from Christian countries to the south aren’t the only unwelcomed immigrants trying to enter the country. I wonder what’s going on with them.

Well, Mike Kelly’s answer to you, Dr. Throckmorton, was a bucket of warm syrup, and essentially meaningless. He will “monitor this situation”, while doing nothing to stop it, like so many other Republican members of Congress. Meanwhile, the kidnapping and incarceration of immigrant children continues.
