IMPORTANT: Here's how the Trump admin is keeping immigrants from entering LEGALLY !!!

New Tactics


In recent weeks, Garcia and other immigrant activists in El Paso had been hearing reports that CBP agents were blocking Central Americans from proceeding across the bridge to the port of entry where they are entitled to begin the asylum process. By making asylum claims at a port of entry, immigrants are supposed to be given a court date so that a judge may determine if the asylum claim is credible. But recent reports suggest Central Americans are being turned back to Juárez. Ironically, Garcia said, many of these Central Americans have grown frustrated and subsequently decided to sneak into the United States outside of a port of entry, then gotten arrested by the Border Patrol. New Trump administration policy requires that anyone caught entering illegally be arrested, face criminal charges, and be separated from any children they are traveling with.


Also CBP agents are not telling immigrants seeking asylum to go to a legal port of entry they're just kidnapping little boys and girls from their parents to justify the kidnappings.

Call it kidnapping at this point, cause this is what it is !!!

1. Deny people legal entry.

2. Catch them when they try to go around the system.

3. Fill up the for-profit jails, prisons, and "processing facilities" with helpless immigrants.

4. Go to bank, deposit millions, laughing all the way.
