Donald Trump can rightfully claim a win on immigration, as his rhetoric has drastically decreased illegal border crossings. But according to one border control agent, those gains may be short-lived if the president doesn’t end Obama’s “catch and release” policies.
President Donald J. Trump is allowing former President Barack Obama’s “catch and release” of illegal immigrants to continue deep into his administration’s term with no end in sight to the controversial open borders protocol. Border Patrol agents are once again sounding the alarm and alerting the public about the separation between DC’s rhetoric and the realities on the U.S.-Mexico border — a practice that the agents hoped would become unnecessary under the Trump Administration.
Though Trump’s interior enforcement of U.S. immigration laws has resulted in far fewer illegal crossings at the border, agents say that low numbers will not be sustained because the Trump Administration has not actually made substantial changes within border security as a whole.
Border Patrol Agent Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), spoke with Breitbart Texas on Trump’s quiet continuation of Obama’s catch and release. He stated, “Obama’s catch and release is definitely continuing and our government is releasing illegal aliens into U.S. communities. The steps taken for such releases have slightly changed and the numbers are not as high, but it is still occurring. Under Trump, ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is holding more illegal aliens than what they did under Obama, but make no mistake, ICE is still releasing a good number of illegal aliens into U.S. communities. Americans need to know this.”
The Trump administration likely already knows this, as well. For now, they’re successfully coasting on immigration rhetoric while focusing policy efforts on taxation and health care. But soon, they’re going to have to tackle meaningful immigration policy changes — something that likely won’t be easy, considering a hostile court system and an obstructionist Democrat party.

#Covfefe
Covfefe’ (pronounced “cuv – fee- fae”) is an Antediluvian term for “In the end we win.” It was commonly used by the sons of Adam to rail against the evil actions of the fallen who had led man astray.
The term gained popularity prior to the great deluge and was rarely used after the flood subsided. It regained favor around the time Nimrod was building his tower, after which it was entirely lost in translation at Babel. ***Where can you find it.>>>You have to go to the “book of the Bees” found in ancient manuscripts and cross reference with the Book of 3rd Enoch that explains what those in the last days will experience. Also the Voynich Manuscript explains everything in detail. It stands alone. … (re: somewhere in cyberspace)
The President MUST no tolerate the atmosphere of passive-aggressive resistance of those in the Executive branch who reject his leadership.
Why?
