Maybe Iām just clinging to the only bit of sunshine I see, but every one of the linked articles above calls them āunauthorized immigrantsā instead of āillegalā, so thatās something, right?

The last time that Bush had Natl Guard patrolling in TX (war on drugs, not immigration), they shot a teenage kid who was out herding his goats (his family had been on the same plot of land for hundreds of years).

Yes, and?
You may need to read the Act more carefullly. Think it through, come back.
I donāt want to. Thatās why I politely asked you for clarification, since you usually seem to know what youāre talking about.
oh, ok. In short, the governors would have to mobilize the troops to be deployed, within their own state borders. The president canāt do that without governors. Thereās more nuance if you want to find it, I donāt think the President is allowed to do such a Domestic Mobillzation, and there are lots of governors who would not be on board.
Aside from the likely crime, it would be a tragedy!

Kelly is trying to turn DHS into U.S. Southern Command. As the former Commander of SouthCom, he is probably responsible for creating some of the refuges that try to cross the border.
He stated that he wants to take the āfightā to the interior of the US:
We must augment our expanded border security initiatives with vigorous interior enforcement and administration of our immigration laws in a manner that serves the national interest. This effort will include greater cooperation and coordination between DHSās operational components, which are responsible for administering immigration benefits and enforcing our nationās existing immigration laws.He even acknowledges the following, but per the "deportation memo", remains steadfast that all undocumented immigrants need to be removed.
Last year, over 415,816 migrants, mostly from Central America and Mexicoāincluding over 137,614 unaccompanied children and individuals travelling in family unitsāwere apprehended on our southern border. Many of those arriving at our southern border have fled violence, poverty, criminal networks, and gangs in their native countries. While the vast majority are fleeing violence or seeking economic opportunity, a small number of individuals could potentially be seeking to do us harm or commit crimes.

Utah for the right reason (constitutional issues, Arkansas because they are already stretched thin)

This man is totally stable and rational. He is in no way completely out of his fucking mind and unfit even to work at that receptionist desk in Mar-A-Lago where he pretended to write his inauguration speech.
