MAGA: Trump Announces ‘Zero Tolerance’ Policy For Illegal Border Crossings

Friday, The DOJ made a HUGE announcement about their new ‘zero-tolerance’ policy for charging illegals attempting to enter the United States. This is the latest in a string of actions by the Trump administration to fight illegal immigration at the southern border.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions declared, “The situation at our Southwest Border is unacceptable. Congress has failed to pass effective legislation that serves the national interest — that closes dangerous loopholes and fully funds a wall along our southern border.”

“As a result, a crisis has erupted at our Southwest Border that necessitates an escalated effort to prosecute those who choose to illegally cross our border,” he added.

The Trump administration reported that the number of attempted illegal aliens crossing the border has tripled in the last year. Becuase of this, Trump penned and executive order this week sending the National Guard to protect our border. The president stated he would like to see 2,000-4,000 guard members sent to the border.

Trump Tweeted about today’s announcement:

Our Border Laws are very weak while those of Mexico & Canada are very strong. Congress must change these Obama era, and other, laws NOW! The Democrats stand in our way - they want people to pour into our country unchecked....CRIME! We will be taking strong action today.

“Our Border Laws are very weak while those of Mexico & Canada are very strong,” POTUS tweeted. “Congress must change these Obama era, and other, laws NOW!”

The DOJ’s declaration comes from increasing critiques from the president in regards to U.S. border protection laws — specifically on “catch-and-release” policies.

“We don’t have laws, we have catch-and-release,” Trump said Tuesday. “You catch and then you immediately release and people come back years later for a court case, except they virtually never come back.”

The president has also spoken out against ‘The Caravan’ moving towards the U.S., on Thursday — A massive success for Trump administration immigration policy!

The Caravan is largely broken up thanks to the strong immigration laws of Mexico and their willingness to use them so as not to cause a giant scene at our Border. Because of the Trump Administrations actions, Border crossings are at a still UNACCEPTABLE 46 year low. Stop drugs!
