Obstruction of Justice is a point of law. A point where Mueller did not clear Trump, instead referring to other avenues such as the Congress which could only mean impeachment and conviction.
The photo was a person and you seem reluctant to say who it is. If it's Hillary, wake me when she's indicted.
Meanwhile, Trump and his Klan better start worrying. Several legal avenues have been spelled out by Mueller.

Illegal immigrant accused of murdering friend on video was supposed to be deported but Cuba refused him
By Anna Hopkins | Fox News

David Paneque, 29, who was allegedly caught on video shooting his friend dead, was supposed to be deported nearly two years ago but Cuba refused him (Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office)

An illegal immigrant accused of murder is stuck on U.S. soil after officials in his home country refuse to accept his deportation because of his criminal history.

David Paneque, 29, was allegedly caught on video fatally shooting his friend Leandro Lopez, 31, while the two were at a parking garage in Miami last month. As Paneque sits in jail awaiting trial, it's been revealed by the Tampa Bay Times that he was supposed to be deported to Cuba nearly two years ago, but the country wouldn't take him back because of his extensive criminal past.

Paneque, who has previous ties to the gang Sur-13 and went by the nickname "Psycho," was first arrested in 2007 when he stabbed a man several times while robbing him. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempted murder and armed robbery, and he picked up another criminal charge while in jail for attacking guards at his facility. Paneque was released in 2017 but remained in the custody of ICE for a month, during which time a judge ordered that he be sent back to Cuba.

The only problem was that, among renewed diplomatic relations with Cuba under the Obama administration, Cuba accepts very few deportations. Last year, they allowed less than 500 people to be returned, despite the fact that more than 37,000 Cuban nationals are facing orders of removal, according to ICE.

Because Cuba refused his return, Paneque was placed under an "order of supervision," and released back into Miami. Before being arrested for the murder of Leandro Lopez, Paneque joked with police officers during questioning about his failed deportation.

“Where are they going to send me? Cuba doesn’t want me,” Paneque said. “They don’t want me here. They don’t want me there.”

Paneque was arrested on Wednesday and charged with the murder of Leandro Lopez, and police say the motive for the slaying is still unclear.

The entirety of the exchange between what appears to be Paneque and Lopez was caught on a hidden camera in a parking garage after its owner secretly installed the camera after his car was vandalized. In a 5-minute interaction obtained by the Miami Herald, the two men chat for a moment, then Paneque allegedly grabs his gun and hides it for a moment before turning it on Lopez. The victim then begs for his life, and the shooter appears to calm down for a moment -- even appearing to hug Lopez at one point -- but then shoots him several times point-blank.

Paneque admitted that he knew the 31-year-old Lopez through a friend he met in prison, and the two would frequent strip clubs together -- which Paneque told officers they did on the night of Lopez's death. Paneque admitted that the two took his Ford F-150 to several strip clubs together, and admitted that it was him in photos showing the two riding around together.

Paneque told police that he dropped Lopez off at his SUV and didn't see him after that -- before police stunned him by showing him the footage of the cold-blooded murder.

At that point, he invoked his right to remain silent.

There have been attempts by Florida politicians to address this issue -- as Paneque not the only dangerous criminal that Cuba refuses to admit back into their country.

Former Miami U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, who introduced an immigration bill last year that failed, said that needs to change.

“This illustrates a major flaw in our immigration laws," he told the Tampa Bay Times. "Even though this individual is an undocumented immigrant with a history of violent crime, by law, he had to be released.

“It’s the Cuban government,” Curbelo added. “Bottom line, they have no interest in any kind of cooperation with the United States. They are the problem.”

At home, however, there are things that can be done to help -- a responsibility that falls on the president, according to Juan Carlos Gomez, director of the Carlos A. Costa Immigration & Rights Clinic at Florida International University.

“There are steps the Trump administration could take to prevent the situation from getting worse,” he said.

Felons in Black Robes: Meet Criminal, Reconquista Judge, Monica Harranz—and Her Accomplices!


Black-robed felon Monica Harranz

Illegal alien Diddier Pacheco Salazar

By Jerry PDX

In Portland, a female judge named Monica Harranz, let an illegal, 20-something, male alien, Diddier Pacheco Salazar, who was in court facing DUI charges, escape ICE agents by letting him out a door reserved for judges. Fortunately, despite Judge Harranz’ assistance, Mr. Salazar was still apprehended on the street.

It appears Ms. Harranz will not face any charges (from the article):

"The way in which Pacheco Salazar eluded capture by ICE caught the attention of U.S. Attorney Billy Williams, according to multiple sources. Williams was concerned that a local judge may have kept federal agents from making an arrest."

"Ultimately, Williams decided against opening an investigation into Herranz or any of the lawyers who may have been involved. He did, however, have a subsequent lunch meeting with Multnomah County judges, including Waller, and with Portland-area ICE administrator Elizabeth Godfrey."

Did this judge not commit a crime? When the highest officers in our court system are complicit in aiding and abetting criminals, and are then protected by those in charge of monitoring their conduct, then what kind of justice system do we have? This is beyond belief. I don't know if I have adequate words for this one but check out the comments, plenty of readers do.

Here is a photo of Judge Herranz (see top of the page). She appears to be quite attractive.

Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at 1:11:00 P.M. EST

As a follow-up to my email re the judge who helped an illegal escape ICE by letting him slip out a back door reserved for judges, the corruption runs deeper than I thought.

Quote from this article:
"Williams said he, ICE and the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility in Washington, D.C., all ultimately agreed not to pursue a criminal investigation or a bar complaint against Herranz or anyone else who may have been involved in the Jan. 27 courtroom incident involving an undocumented [sic] immigrant man from Mexico, Diddier Pacheco Salazar."

This was after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials approached him with concerns about one week after Multnomah Circuit Court referee Monica Herranz allegedly allowed an illegal alien defendant in her courtroom to elude capture by federal agents.

Apparently, ICE is not going to push it, either. They're going to allow this Judge Herranz to get away with her incredibly unprofessional, unethical, and illegal behavior. All levels of our legal enforcement divisions are complicit with this.

Trump orders asylum overhaul, including new fee for applicants and faster adjudications, amid 'severe' border crisis
Gregg Re | Fox News

Yuma at breaking point over asylum seekers, Sen. McSally says ‘crisis getting worse everyday’
Federal officials from the state are responding after Yuma's mayor issued an emergency declaration. Senator Martha McSally (R-Ariz), who visited Yuma today, spoke to Fox News about the cost local communities are facing.

President Trump called Monday night for a sweeping overhaul to an asylum system he has long said is rife with fraud -- including a new fee to process asylum applicants, and the capacity to rapidly adjudicate applicants' claims while also barring them from working in the U.S. in the meantime.

In a presidential memorandum, Trump specifically told Attorney General William Barr and acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan that the move was necessary to address a "crisis" at the border. In an article published earlier this month, The New York Times acknowledged that the humanitarian crisis of illegal immigration has hit a "breaking point."

Arrests along the southern border have skyrocketed in recent months, with border agents making more than 100,000 arrests or denials of entry in March, a 12-year high. Immigration courts that process asylum claims currently have a backlog of more than 800,000 cases, and asylum applicants are increasingly staying in the U.S. even after their claims for asylum have been denied.

“That emergency continues to grow increasingly severe,” Trump's memo read. “The extensive resources required to process and care for these individuals pulls U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel away from securing our Nation’s borders.”

According to a White House fact sheet released Monday, on average, "out of every 100 aliens subject to expedited removal who claim a fear of persecution, only about 12 will ultimately be granted asylum."

And "around half of all aliens who make a credible fear claim and are subsequently placed in removal proceedings do not actually apply for asylum."

Thought the vast majority of asylum applications are ultimately unsuccessful, they still take months and even years to fully process. Asylum law is intended to provide harbor only to refugees fleeing personal persecution based on a limited number of factors -- such as political belief or religion -- and does not protect individuals fleeing bad living conditions or poverty.

The Trump administration last year rolled back an Obama-era expansion of potential asylum justifications, which extended protections to those alleging domestic abuse or gang-related attacks back home. White House officials said at the time that those categories were prone to abuse and expanded asylum law beyond its original intent.

In his memorandum, Trump gave his deputies 90 days to propose regulations so that all asylum applications are adjudicated within 180 days, except for those representing exceptional circumstances.

The White House and DHS officials did not immediately respond to questions about how much applicants might be forced to pay in asylum fees, and it is unclear how many families fleeing poverty would be able to afford such a payment.

The memo says the price would not exceed the cost of processing applications, but officials did not immediately provide an estimate for what that might be.

Trump also wants to bar anyone who has entered or tried to enter the country illegally from receiving a provisional work permit and is calling on officials to immediately revoke work authorizations when individuals are denied asylum and ordered removed from the country.

Immigration officials say one reason asylum claims are booming is that migrants know they will be able to live and work in the U.S. while their cases play out -- and, in many cases, even after their claims have been rejected.

According to the White House, the number of "aliens who do not show up to court and are ordered removed in absentia has soared, with 17,200 removal orders issued in absentia in the first quarter of fiscal year (FY) 2019. ... If this pace continues, in absentia removal orders would more than triple the 2013 total."

For asylum cases originating in a credible fear claim, "in absentia removal orders are on pace to increase to 17,636 in FY 2019, around 20 times more than the total in FY 2010."
And since September 2018, "1 out of every 6 family unit cases filed on special expedited dockets at 10 immigration courts has ended with an in absentia removal order," the White House said.

Trump is also calling on DHS to reassign immigration officers and any other staff "to improve the integrity of adjudications of credible and reasonable fear claims, to strengthen the enforcement of the immigration laws, and to ensure compliance with the law by those aliens who have final orders of removal."

Hundreds more troops heading to Southwest border, Pentagon announces

By Frank Miles | Fox News

Cochise County, Arizona sheriff: We embrace having the military come down to our southwest border
Mark Dannels weighs in on the Pentagon's plan to expand the role of the military at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan has approved a Department of Homeland Security request to send approximately 320 troops to provide additional support along the U.S.-Mexico border, the Pentagon announced Monday evening.

Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jamie Davis said the troops' duties will include driving Customs and Border Protection (CBP) vehicles to transport migrants and monitoring the condition of migrants in CBP custody. Department of Defense lawyers will also be on hand to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) process the migrants.

OBAMA BORDER PATROL CHIEF ON IMMIGRATION CRISIS: CONGRESS NOT 'LOOKING AT WHAT THEY NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW'

"DoD personnel will not perform any law enforcement functions," Davis said in a statement. "In any situation that requires DoD personnel to be in proximity to migrants, DHS law enforcement personnel will be present to conduct all custodial and law enforcement functions, and provide force protection of military personnel."

Davis said the extra troop support will cost about $7.4 million through Sept. 30.

The decision provides approval for a plan the Pentagon disclosed last Friday. There currently are about 2,900 active-duty troops operating in support of DHS at the border, plus about 2,000 National Guard troops. A key aspect of the policy governing military involvement at the border has been a prohibition on direct contact with migrants.

Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Tomi Lahren: Even a Sex Pistol agrees California is now the homeless encampment of the West

By Tomi Lahren | Fox News

It’s one thing for a California conservative like me to sound the alarm over the homeless infestation in this state. It’s another to hear it from a Punk Rock icon!

That’s when you know it’s bad and you know I have some "First Thoughts."

Folks, I’ve been telling you how bad the homeless scene is here in the "Golden State of Encampments and Trash" for almost two years now.

When I moved here from Dallas, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

Apparently, I’m not the only one.

Enter legendary Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten, also known as John Joseph Lydon.

In an interview with Newsweek, he shared his growing frustration with the homeless problem in Venice Beach.

He recounted an incident a couple weeks ago when a homeless man pitched a tent near his front door, for crying’ out loud!

"The vagrants moved in en masse ... [in] tent cities. They’re all young; they’re all like 24," Lydon said. "They’re aggressive, and because there’s an awful lot of them together they’re gang-y."

He also talked about the associated problem with discarded needles used for heroin. "You can’t take anyone to the beach because there’s jabs just waiting for young kids to put their feet in — and poo all over the sand."

Sounds like a nice beach community, huh? Not anymore!

I’m with you, Johnny!

How could a state with such abundant natural resources, academia, celebrity, wealth, and technology be such a crap hole in so many areas?

Well, it didn’t take long for me to figure it out. It’s been run into the ground by Democrats who LOVE to tax the hard-working but also love to welcome and coddle illegals, felons, addicts, and bums.

I am sick of funneling my hard-earned tax dollars into a state that sets aside $500 million dollars for the homeless and still can’t solve the problem!

Does that sound harsh? Too bad.

Here’s what you need to understand about California’s homeless population- the majority isn’t made up of down-on-their -luck Americans who fell on hard times. They are ex-cons.

Yep, our homeless population is largely comprised of drug addicts who, if not for California’s drug dealer/addict friendly laws, would likely be behind bars.

Blame the California legislature for this one. Back in 2011, it passed Assembly Bill 109 — the so-called “Realignment” law.

The idea was to alter both sentencing and post-prison supervision for "non-serious, non-violent, and non-sex" offenders.

So some of the people who should be behind bars no doubt ended up on the streets.

But California Democrats weren’t done. Proposition 47 downgraded a series of crimes from felonies to misdemeanors and Senate Bill 180 limits the ability of law enforcement to send chronic drug offenders back to prison.

So where do they go? DING DING DING — to the streets and the third-word style tent cities infesting our freeways, tunnels and interstates.

Guess who pays for that?

I am sick of funneling my hard-earned tax dollars into a state that sets aside $500 million for the homeless and still can’t solve the problem!

The city of Los Angeles is allocated $85 million to build shelters, but so far the money has gone to just 11 projects and a grand total of 849 beds when those projects are completed.

Wow! Sounds like a great value, huh?

According to California's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, the state would need additional tens of billions a year to provide housing for the homeless.

And when we aren’t looking at tent cities, we are dodging needles and feces.

Enough is enough.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, maybe instead of showboating and recruiting future illegal immigrants in El Salvador like you did last month, you should come on back and deal with the problem.

Oh, and by "deal with the problem," I don’t mean add more taxes on top of the already high taxes us hardworking Californians already pay to take care of the homeless drug addicts.

Folks, if you’re sick of this too, STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS!

Those are my First Thoughts. From LA, God bless and take care.

The city of Los Angeles is allocated $85 million to build shelters, but so far the money has gone to just 11 projects and a grand total of 849 beds when those projects are completed.

Wow! Sounds like a great value, huh?

According to California's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, the state would need additional tens of billions a year to provide housing for the homeless.

And when we aren’t looking at tent cities, we are dodging needles and feces.

Enough is enough.

Gov. Gavin Newsom, maybe instead of showboating and recruiting future illegal immigrants in El Salvador like you did last month, you should come on back and deal with the problem.

Oh, and by "deal with the problem," I don’t mean add more taxes on top of the already high taxes us hardworking Californians already pay to take care of the homeless drug addicts.

Folks, if you’re sick of this too, STOP VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS!

Those are my First Thoughts. From LA, God bless and take care.

With the economy in such ruins from all these murderous, drug and disease infested low lifes and our young all addicted to Latin originated drugs, how do we get anything done? Why it's all I can do to cash my welfare check and buy beer and cigarettes, sit on my rocking chair on the front porch and give school children the finger as they walk by while wearing my sweat stained undershirt and boxers. I think the flip flops are a nice touch.

Appeals court allows Trump administration to send back asylum seekers to Mexico to wait out court process

By Nicole Darrah | Fox News

Earlier this month, Judge Richard Seeborg stopped the Trump administration's 'remain in Mexico' program, ruling the government doesn't have the legal authority to keep these asylum seekers south of the border; Claudia Cowan reports from San Francisco.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals late Tuesday granted the Trump administration's request to send asylum seekers back to Mexico to wait out court proceedings temporarily.

The court order reversed a decision by a San Francisco judge that would have blocked the policy — giving President Trump a temporary victory on immigration.

TRUMP ORDERS ASYLUM OVERHAUL, INCLUDING NEW FEE FOR APPLICATIONS AND FASTER ADJUDICATIONS, AMID 'SEVERE' BORDER CRISIS

The case must still be considered on its merits at a lower court in San Francisco and could end up at the Supreme Court.

U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg ruled April 8 that the policy should be halted while a lawsuit, filed on behalf of 11 asylum applicants and several other organizations, proceeds.

The Trump administration says the policy responds to a crisis at the southern border that has overwhelmed the ability of immigration officials to detain migrants. Growing numbers of families are fleeing poverty and gang violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

Last year, the Justice Department eliminated gang violence and domestic abuse as a possible justification for seeking asylum.

The so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy was one of the primary innovations of former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who left her role with the Trump administration last month.

Asylum law, conservatives point out, is intended to shield individuals from near-certain death or persecution on account of limited factors like religious or political affiliation — not poor living conditions and economic despair.

Most asylum applicants are ultimately rejected for having an insufficient or unfounded personalized fear of persecution, following a full hearing of their case before an asylum officer or an immigration judge.

ICE nabs illegal immigrant who allegedly drove into California home, killing 3 sleeping family members

By Frank Miles | Fox News
A suspected drunken driver who was free on bail after being charged with plowing into a Northern California trailer home and killing three sleeping family members was in the U.S. illegally and was apprehended Tuesday, federal immigration agents announced.

“Ismael Huazo-Jardinez is an illegally present Mexican national. The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended him in Arizona and granted him voluntary return to Mexico in February 2011. He illegally re-entered at some point thereafter,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Paul Prince said in a statement to Fox News. “On Tuesday, May 7, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) (San Francisco) Fugitive Operations Team members apprehended Huazo-Jardinez. ICE used available resources to locate and detain him. He will remain in ICE custody pending the disposition of his immigration proceedings.”

Huazo-Jardinez was first arrested Saturday night in the rural community of Knights Landing outside of Sacramento. The California Highway Patrol said Huazo-Jardinez was intoxicated and speeding when the truck he was driving missed a sharp curve and slammed into the Pacheco family’s live-in trailer.

The crash killed Jose Pacheco, 38, Anna Pacheco, 34, and their son Angel Pacheco, 10. The Pachecos’ 11-year-old daughter remained in critical condition.

Huazo-Jardinez had been released from the Sutter County Jail on $300,000 bail Sunday after a judge refused CHP’s request for a $1 million bail.

Jail records showed Huazo-Jardinez listing a Yuba City address as his residence.

New Trump WH policy lets deputies detain immigrants on behalf of ICE, subverting 'sanctuary' laws

By William La Jeunesse | Fox News

Border Patrol officials say overwhelming number of migrants crossing border is pushing agency beyond capacity

Officials say 30,000 illegal aliens were apprehended in the last 10 days; William La Jeunesse reports from Los Angeles.

With a seemingly endless stream of illegal aliens crossing the border, the Trump administration is rolling out a series of policies it hopes will deter asylum seekers and help deport those already in the U.S. who commit crimes.

The latest will allow local deputies to detain illegal aliens on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), even if sanctuary policies are written to prevent it.

"This is a voluntary program that we worked out with the National Sheriffs' Association who is a tremendous partner of ours," said Acting ICE Director Matthew Albence. "Sheriffs can sign up for this program, they will get some training and their deputies will be authorized to execute an immigration warrant at the direction of an ICE officer or supervisor."

In the Warrant Service Officer (WSO) program, as it is called, sheriff’s deputies would receive one day of training. Unlike the more involved 287(g) ICE program, deputies would not interview a detainee to ascertain his or her citizenship and immigration status. Instead, they essentially would file a federal warrant, directing the local jail to hold a criminal alien for 48 hours after the scheduled release until an ICE agent shows up to take custody. It is cheaper and may allow sheriffs to act without violating sanctuary laws.

Expect blowback and scrutiny from opponents.

“This program is just the latest scheme by ICE to enlist local police in its abusive deportation agenda," said Lorella Praeli, deputy political director at the American Civil Liberties Union. "The agency explicitly aims to subvert the will of local communities that have passed ordinances to prevent exactly this kind of cooperation between police and ICE."

The effort comes as the Department of Homeland Security has tasked hundreds of ICE agents to help handle the surge of Central Americans crossing the U.S. southern border illegally in record numbers. U.S Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost said her agency apprehended 33,000 migrants in the just the last 10 days. If such migration continues, apprehensions will exceed 1 million, numbers not seen since 2006.

"The numbers are so high, but these individuals are not being detained," National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Cueto said. "Our detention facilities are so overwhelmed that we are releasing a lot of these individuals."

That picture contrasts with a mainstream media narrative that has mocked President Trump for months for suggesting trend lines were leading to a crisis.

"Net migration across the southern border is at historic lows," said an April 3, 2019 article, "The Self-Fulfilling Crisis of the Policy at the Mexican Border," in The New York Times on page A9. "Border apprehensions of unauthorized arrivals were at their lowest in modern record in 2017 and 2018."

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., also insisted the Central America surge was not a crisis, even though President Obama referred to a "crisis" soon after apprehensions totaled 420,000 in 2013, a number already exceeded this year.

"We're dealing with a regional migration phenomenon that's controlled by transnational criminal organizations that operate predominantly in Mexico," Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan told lawmakers last week. "So, any solution we're going to have to reduce this flow is going to rely on Mexican authorities to take stronger action, frankly, against people that are exploiting migrants."

Men from the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador pay $8,000 fees to cross the U.S. border illegally, border patrol agents have said. Women, children and families pay $4,000, a discount since single men need to be smuggled over the border to stash houses, whereas guides can simply drop off families at the border, a much lower-risk proposition.

Federal sources have said smuggling networks earn more than $1 million a day in south Texas alone, as the fees go to pay for boat and brush guides, drivers, stash house caretakers, scouts, enforcers and bribes.

On a visit last week to the Rio Grande Valley (RGV), migrants said they were fleeing poverty, not persecution.

Over the past week, RGV officials said they apprehended over 10,000 illegal aliens, one of the highest weekly totals ever experienced. Currently, processing centers there have held over 7,000 in custody.

“We’ve exceeded our capacity and we’re doing all we can to house migrants in a humane place and transfer them in and out in a timely fashion as none of the Border Patrol facilities, including the one in [Donna, Texas,] are meant to be long-term detention centers,” said Chief Rudy Karisch in a statement released Tuesday.

Agents there apprehended some 100 illegal aliens per hour, the majority of which were family units or unaccompanied children who readily turned themselves in to agents.

The sector provided statistics showing that in 2014, 37 percent of adult Central American women traveled with children. So far this year, 77 percent. Single men, 1 percent in 2014 versus 47 percent today.

Why the influx of children? A decision by federal judge Dolly Gee, an Obama appointee, ruled migrant adults with children cannot be detained more than 20 days. Since then, adults have been showing up with children not their own.

"It begins in the field," said McAllen agent Carlos Ruiz. "Many times we can detect the fraud right here even before we take them to the processing facility. Sometimes I'll ask, 'what is your child's birthday?' When they don't know, it's your first clue."

In a recent random sample, Homeland Security investigators found 30 percent of the children did not belong to the parents who claimed them.

"Three out of every 10 families that we have identified has been fraudulent," said Albence of the investigation. "We have been pursuing these cases criminally. We’ve prosecuted more than 100 people. We know more than 100 people utilized false documents. And, it’s not just the fraudulent families. It’s individuals posing as fraudulent, unaccompanied alien children. So, you’ve got 23-year-olds posing as 16-year-olds so they can get released because they know that we can’t hold them.”

As a result, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is initiating a pilot program to conduct DNA swabs of suspected fraudulent families this week in Texas. At the White House, administration officials met with Republican senators pushing legislation designed to slow the flow. One proposed solution: tightening the standard for asylum seekers and allowing agents to make some determinations prior to any full-blown immigration hearings.

Reacting to the apprehension of 33,000 immigrants, Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway chastised Democratic leaders Tuesday saying, “That has to stop and Congress can change that by just tweaking or fixing the [Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2000], by just fixing the Flores decision. They've refused to act. So, all of that is coming to them. If they're serious about immigration reform, they should come to the table and do something."

Graham announces new asylum law package

By Gregg Re | Fox News

Graham announced that he will introduce new legislation on Wednesday to address what he called the "broken" U.S. asylum laws contributing to the ongoing humanitarian crisis along the southern border. Among the changes Graham will seek is to prevent people from asylum at the border, as opposed to a consulate -- a move that would raise constitutional issues if implemented.

Graham also said he wants to change the law to permit the U.S. to hold minor children for longer periods, to discourage adults from bringing children to the border as a legal "shield." Currently, Graham said, adults seeking asylum with children are released into the U.S. and never heard from again. (The Trump administration last year altered its previous zero-tolerance immigration policy to preclude family separations at the border, amid a backlash.)

"We're going to change the asylum law, that you have to apply in the country where you live, or in Mexico," Graham said. "We're going to stop Central American applications being made at the border, because we don't have enough judges for hearing dates. We're gonna go to 100 days, we can hold minor children for 100 days so we can actually process the entire family without letting them go. We're gonna increase judges by 500; we got almost 900,000 backlog of asylum claims. We're gonna wipe out the backlog [of asylum claims.]"

Graham added: "If you're an unaccompanied minor, we're going to send you back to Central America as if you lived in Mexico, which would be a change in our laws. This should stop 90 percent of the illegal immigration from Central America."
