According to several media reports (Fox News and Reuters) President Trump is starting tomorrow with executive action targeted toward the larger immigration policy initiatives discussed throughout the presidential campaign. Don McGahn is obviously a very busy man:
(Via Fox News) WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump will begin rolling out executive actions on immigration Wednesday, beginning with steps to tighten border security — including his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border — and other domestic immigration enforcement measures, according to two administration officials.
Later in the week, the president is expected to take steps to restrict the flow of refugees to the United States. One official said the president was expected to roll out immigration measures over the next few days.
[…] While the specific of Trump’s orders were unclear, both officials said Wednesday’s actions would focus in part on the president’s plans to construct a wall along the southern border with Mexico. He has insisted Mexico would pay for the wall, though the Mexican government has repeatedly said it would not.
Trump will meet with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto at the White House next week. (read more)
Interestingly, yesterday Mexican President Nieto publicly outlined his top priorities for the meeting with President Donald Trump. Can you guess what the #1 priority is for Nieto?
[…] Pena Nieto gave a speech detailing what Mexico’s baseline negotiating points would be, including economic integration, respect for the rights of migrants and the money they send home.
Those remittances amount to about $25 billion annually and have become a major source of foreign revenue for the country. Trump had originally suggested that the U.S. might retain some of that money to help pay for a wall between the countries, a project he says Mexico will pay for but which Mexico opposes. (link)
Can you spell L.E.V.E.R.A.G.E ?
.
The Trump agenda rolling like like precision clockwork. What shock is in store for snowflake world when they realize their faux ‘resistance’ won’t defer Trump in the least. Good time to deal with Nafta and establish continental ground rules. This will be the template for bilateral deals. Thedifference between Canadian and Mexican approaches will be instructive.
Both have their own vested interests to fight for but also know they can only take the best deal Trump will allow. Canada has an unqualified dilettante PM but he does have a somewhat pragmatic streak. I doubt that he becomes as argumentative as his commie father would have. Probably some verbal condescension for domestic consumption. Too bad Harper isn’t still there though he was demonized as much as Bush was for ten years. Trudeau is beloved by leftists so won’t take the same media fire that a conservative would.
Mexico brings more hostile issues to the table. They have very little leverage, but have to talk tough for their own pride. I think the rhetoric will be more low key and subdued. The media is salivating for fureworks but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a professional, civil tone. If a common concern like drugs and gangs is used to build a framework for consensus then maybe they save face and the other trade and immigration issues can be dealt with rationally and incrementally. How ‘the fence’ is incorporated into Trump’s rhetoric will be a fascinating exercise in statesmanship.

they won’t shake drug cartels with out a lot of blood being shed, and without displacing a lot of power brokers including elected politicians.
their system has carried on this far based on two things:
the joint endeavor between the government and the drug cartels has worked because the money and power of the drug cartels comes from the united states;
the united states has been in cahoots with those running drugs into the united states.
now, with trump potentially ending the drug-running into the united states. that money and support will be gone.
this can only go one of two ways:
they will be totally corrupt third world, or they somehow develop a decent political movement that is anti-drug cartel and serves to use their cornucopia of natural resources and blessings to have a decent nation.
they may only be able to do this by depending on support and consultation from the united states. –that is the bridge we should build with mexico.

Lawyer here: The issue with EO’s is not ‘how many’ but in what area they’re pronounced.
EO’s are never supposed to counter, or do an end-run around, something the Legislative Branch has already acted upon, or refused to act upon.
The Congress and Senate refused to grant amnesty. Then Obama gave his famous ‘I’ve got a phone and a pen’ speech, and violated the separation of powers by legislating over the heads of Congress.
Now the Federal courts invalidated all those actions, indeed on those very grounds (violation of separation of powers). But of course, Obama ignored them too.

There is one other reason I am “Ok with them now”. Because Democrats are now getting a taste of what they not only allowed Obama to shove down our throats, but had gall to support Obama doing. With some Democrats even snarkly laughing in our faces.

Just a 10% tax on cash remittances back to Mexico ($2.5 billion per year) will pay for the wall over 4 years … 5 or 6 if necessary ($2.5 billion * 4 years = $10 billion … the cost of the wall). Five years on and Mexico can start paying for the welfare U.S. taxpayers pay for while their staying here (schooling, hospitalization, incarceration, tax fraud, etc.).

How many mortgages were issued to illegal aliens in the 2008 housing crash?
Answer: A Lot This is Las Vegas
2005 … Fraudsters also have engaged in house-flipping rings using illegal aliens as straw buyers. Among many examples the FBI cites: a conspiracy in Las Vegas involving a former Nevada First Residential Mortgage Company branch manager who directed loan officers and processors in the origination of 233 fraudulent Federal Housing Authority loans valued at over $25 million. The defrauders made and submitted false employment and income documentation for borrowers; most were illegal immigrants from Mexico. To date, the FBI reported, “Fifty-eight loans with a total value of $6.2 million have gone into default, with a loss to the Housing and Urban Development Department of over $1.9 million.”
It’s the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to lax Bush administration policies allowing illegal aliens to use “matricula consular cards” and taxpayer-identification numbers to open bank accounts, mortgage fraud has grown. Money-lenders still have no access to a verification system to check Social Security numbers before approving loans.

I read some schools are paying students to stay in school, some programs offer money to teen girls to not get pregnant . . . maybe it’s not so farfetched to pay snowflakes to leave the country.

Sundance and/or Treepers with legal experience/knowledge,
After reading and re-reading several of your earlier posts (Sundance) and comment threads I realized just how thin my working knowledge base truly was about migrant statuses. So I spent several hours today researching on the internet to get more up to speed. It was was a very educational experience. I tend to think there may be others here who are as unclear as I was before I dug in.
So, absent the tools/programs to do this myself, is there anyone in our treetop that could put together a chart or spreadsheet to show at a glance the differences between migrant statuses (refugee/asylum seeker/all 5? of the different employer sponsored work visas/green card holders/daca/dapa)and what the CURRENT LAW requires of them and allows them to do/not do and what taxpayer suppported benefits they legally can/can’t access and criteria that must be met to qualify for those benefits. I was shocked to learn about some of the things – all on the backs of the American taxpayers if certain triggers are met, and about some of the “work arounds” immigration attorneys use for certain categories to manipulate the system. What an eye opener!
Anyway, if someone (besides me) thinks this would be a worthwhile endeavor and would like to take it on, I know I would be grateful! Thanks for your consideration!
Lastly I remain in total awe of our wonderful new POTUS and the breakneck speed and efficiency he is proceeding with! He’s MY President!!! Bet we never again elect an entrenched politician to lead this country! 😉

Just Remember Jamiel Shaw #MAGA Mary Ann Mendoza, Sabine Durden, and Jamiel Shaw, Sarah Root one day after graduating college — when her vehicle was hit by a drunk driver. These people are our neighbors. We love them.

I missed it! Did it happen while Bartiromo was on? Or Varney? 🙂

Wow! Cheering on the floor of the exchange – market opens over $20K for the first time ever. Stu Varney has been pleading for this ever since the election. He should be happy now that it happened during his show! LOL! What idiots are they to be complaining about our President opening an investigation on voter fraud? Seriously? I would venture a guess that the vast majority of Americans believe it is on-going and far larger than many would like to believe. About darned time, IMO!

If you would go to @realDonaldTrump, and take a look at the picture he has on his twitter page, you will see Reince in the far left corner of the picture, staring at President Trump. It looks like he has daggers in his eyes pointed at him. Most everyone is smiling and looking happy except him.
He might not be a happy camper in the UnitParty, as he will not be able to deliver for them.

RP just had a spell of resting bitch face. His hands are applauding. If he’s not really onboard the Trump Train, he can get tossed like an old mail sack, as the train steams by WITH NO BRAKES on the way to MAGA!
