Immigration courts and judges fall under border security. Congress has fought to reduce border security funding since Trump came into office. With reduced funding, paying for additional immigration judges has been difficult. Yet under Trump the number of immigration judges went from 285 immigration judge teams to 500 immigration judge teams by cutting non-essentials. But adding more court buildings with reduced funding is far more difficult. You want more facilities? Then tell your Congressmen and Senators to increase funding!
It has become fashionable to blame all the ills in the world on the USA. You lump asylum seekers, immigrants, and illegal aliens as if they are in the same boat. To be accepted for asylum the person must be fleeing political persecution. Not economic hardship. Immigrants have a process they must go through, but don't need to be fleeing political persecution. But illegal aliens are ILLEGALLY invading another country. This is the case whether or not they have committed other crimes.
https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dhs-secretary-90-percent-of-recent-asylum-seekers-skipped-their-hearings/You wrote, "Maybe you didn't notice Trump's trash-talking but I and many others have. Some people follow up what Trump says with violence." Can you give examples of what you call Trump's trash talk? Do you mean him saying MS13 were animals? And if you blame Trump's words for violence, how much more should you blame the violence against police on Obama? If Trump's saying MS13 are animals leads to violence, what does Obama's assertions of police racism and police brutality--even at the memorial to the murdered officers in Dallas, starting with those who were protecting the BLM marchers who were chanting "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!" When the shooting erupted against the cops, with the marchers in the way; they ran to the cops for protection. Then at the memorial service of those and the other ambushed cops, the cop's families had to hear Obama preaching police brutality and racism. This is only one example. Whenever a shooting of a black man occurred, no matter the circumstances; he'd immediately bring blame police racism.
You say Trump over militarizes the border. Do you live on the border? I live 4 miles from the border on a northbound river. I have had neighbors murdered by illegals. I, and many along the border have had property damage, robberies, and vandalism by illegals. I've had a dog shot. The national conservation area I live along has had environmental damage and sensitive native species destroyed. And for some reason a group of illegals shot and killed the only troop of coatimundis on the San Pedro river. There have been no river coatimundis seen since this slaughter. The San Pedro has been clogged with trash, abandoned clothing, plastic packaging and empty water bottles, and dirty diapers. And there have been terrorists apprehended. Three murderers were caught within sight of my back door less than a month ago. Trump isn't OVER militarizing the border. He is not militarizing it enough!!!!
"OUR honorable laborers"??? What honorable laborers here on one of the 6 work permits on work permits have been targeted by Trump. How about immigrants and naturalized citizen honorable laborers? How about American honorable laborers?
I can't believe you actually believe any home grown Americans are MORE violent than MS13! Is he tarring all MS13 with the same brush? Yes!!! What other brush should be used? Can you point to any MS13 member who is not a vicious murderer who often dismembers their victims? Point out a single peaceful MS13 member.
Trump never said immigrants, or even illegal immigrants, don't have regular humanity. To say there are women and children being victimized in the caravans is NOT dehumanizing the victims of the rapes. Just the opposite. To decry the entry of people who are not screened to prevent separate out the criminals is NOT attacking the Hispanics or even illegals as a whole. But even those illegally coming across who are not drug traffickers, human traffickers, murderers, rapists, or terrorists; they are still committing a crime and making those who are trying to gain entry legally suffer a longer wait by clogging up immigration courts which must deal with the illegals first. We accept millions into our country each year. We issued more than 2 million work permits in 2017. And well over 1 million green cards. The news saying communities with illegal immigrants have less violence was not based on any study. It was based on one person saying that was what they saw. But there is a study showing one type of violence is less reported in sanctuary cities. That is domestic violence. But being less reported does not necessarily mean there is less. Only that it is reported less. Most of the most violent cities in the US are sanctuary cities.
