This is an Editorial:

I have previously stated my opinion on this topic quite clearly several times before. So, all I will say is, "Here The Donald goes again." Perhaps this time the program will be much more successful!

Under a sweeping rewrite of American policies by The Donald's Administration, illegal immigrants now face rapid deportation from out of the United States for crimes as minimal as a traffic ticket.

All illegal immigrants suspected of any criminal offense, charged with a crime, or convicted of committing criminal activities, become enforcement priorities. That could possibly include shoplifters as well as petty law breakers. This announcement was proclaimed, courtesy of memos signed by the Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly.

No longer do illegal immigrants have to be viewed as a threat to national security, be recent border crossers, or even convicted of a serious crime, to face the very real probability of imminent deportation.

It is about high time the United States took these steps to keep illegal immigrants in their own countries, where they should feel free to commit their criminal acts, instead of perpetrating them on American soil.

Crossing the border illegally is a crime, and grounds for deportation. Overstaying a visa is a civil infraction, however, those immigrants that do so are now much more likely to be deported back to whence them came.

The new enforcement plans for illegal immigrants from the Secretary of Homeland Security are designed to enforce a longstanding provision of immigration law that permits the United States to send illegal immigrants crossing the border back to Mexico regardless of where they are from. You read that right. Because of signed treaties between the United States and Mexico, these illegal immigrants could be from Timbuktu and deported to Mexico.

Once there, these illegal immigrants would await deportation proceedings to be completed. A move that could conceivably render years to finalize. Rumor has it, the Donald may plan to withhold financial aid to Mexico to ensure that country lives up to its agreements in these treaties in accepting illegal immigrants, even the non-Mexicans. Whatever it takes.

One of the first groups to be targeted are illegal immigrants who can not prove they have been in the United States for 24 months or longer. These fast-track deportations do not require a judge's order.

Another plan in the works for The Donald's Administration is to expand the immigration jail capacity that currently possesses funding and allotted spaces for 34,000 detainees at one time. The Republican Congress would have to approve all new monies the Department of Homeland Security spends on this project.

Of course, the Special Interest group known as the American Civil Liberties Union is up in arms about these new implementations pertaining to illegal immigrants. This point was illustrated by the Director of the ACLU's Immigrant Rights Project Omar Jadwat.

Judwat exclaimed, "These memos confirm that the Trump Administration is willing to trample on due process, human decency, the well being of our communities, and even protection for vulnerable children, in pursuit of a hyper-aggressive mass deportation policy." (Give me a break!)

Texas Representative Lamar Smith, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, lauded The Donald's efforts with these Homeland Security memos when he stated, "{the memos} overturn dangerous policies from the Obama Administration."

These policies do not affect the more than 750,000 young immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals program, and shoot holes in Judwat's remarks. The exception to this policy would be if these young immigrants are deemed to be threats to national security or commit crimes. At that point, they need to be deported, along with all the other illegal immigrants running amok across the United States.

Do other countries allow illegal immigrants to enter their boundaries, break their laws, and escape unscathed? You better believe the answer to that question is a resounding NO! Then, why should the United States be expected to allow them to do what no other country permits?

Under the Obama Administration there were more than 100,000 illegal immigrant children, mainly from the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras that were caught at the border. The bleeding-heart Democrats reunited a vast majority with relatives residing in the United States regardless of the immigrant's status, legal or not. A direct violation of American immigration laws.

The new Homeland Security memos seek 5,000 new Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. (Oh, to be thirty years younger than I am. I would have already applied for one of these positions! Or, the 2,000 current vacancies that exist.) When The Donald claimed he would create more American jobs he meant what he said. There's 15,000 new ones needing to be filled. Let's get them filled!

EDITORIAL COMMENT: Walk into a crowded room of Mexicans anywhere in the United States. Yell, "INS!" See how many scatter to the winds by any means possible. That classically illustrates the illegal immigration problem facing the United States.

Maybe with the enforcement of the immigration laws that have always been on the books, and enforced, but not to the point The Donald has committed to, some of that problem will finally work itself out.

We can only hope!

NOTE: I have now written 42 daily Editorials about The Donald. Some things he says and does I agree with. Case in point, this being one of them. Other things he says and does, I could not disagree more with.

I receive many comments from those who read these postings, and yes, I do accept comments from those who agree with what I say as well as from those who do not agree with my points of view.

However, as a general rule I do not promote my writings, not even this book. This is more because of limited time constraints I have with my Freelance Writing, where I make my living.

So, in order to receive each new chapter on a daily basis, you would need to become a fan.

All are welcome to do so, if you so desire.
