They are relying on a Presidential directive issued to the Military.

Signed by the chief of staff?

Trump's proclamation is in direct conflict with the law which says anyone may apply for asylum, regardless of status or location.

Illegal aliens without documentation are not granted any right to "avail themselves of our asylum system." That is a privilege instituted by Congress which, per Congress, is under direct supervision and control by the Executive branch of government. The effect of Judge Tigar's ruling that there is some sort of right to cross the border in direct opposition to laws passed by Congress, requires expanded military intervention now to enforce the border. That is not a good thing, Phage.

Congress makes the laws; the Executive enforces them. Trump is enforcing laws as best he can under the laws passed by Congress. One of those laws is that it is illegal to cross the border at locations not deemed ports of entry.

A Federal judge in Hawaii just vacated that law without consideration. Who makes the laws again?

Who does the Chief of Staff work for again?

The president.

Does that mean I can sign a contract for my boss?


How about that "port of entry" thing?

Yes, if he allows it.

Do you believe that the President has to sign every single contract for the entire Federal Government?

If it involves being the Commander in Chief rather than the chief of staff, I would hope so.

No! The President issued the Directive weeks ago when he sent the Military to the border.

This is not you being obtuse, you know the facts here well.

Disingenuous much?

No.


The law says "whether or not at a designated port of arrival." The president's proclamation is in direct conflict.

What did that directive entail?

You can as a company representative if your boss approves it.

The law says "whether or not at a designated port of arrival." The president's proclamation is in direct conflict.

The law also says the Secretary of Homeland Security makes the final determination. Why are you ignoring that?

The law says that the Secretary of Homeland Security may grant asylum.

No. I cannot.
I am not an officer of the corporation. I can't sign the 941s either.

An organised group of mostly young men, 1000’s strong, waving the flag of a foreign country all the while marching on yours telling you flat out that they are coming to illegally cross your borders.
What would you define that as?

So by the sounds of it you are not against this at all, you’re Just highlighting that Trump can’t do what people say Trumps trying to do?

Is HE saying that he will somehow bypass congress or is HE saying that this is what congress needs to do and as usual the media has flipped it?

a reply to: IkNOwSTuff

I think Congress needs to do something about our immigration laws.
Because, obviously, they don't work.

a reply to: Phage

Obama and "his pen" became the blueprint for future Presidents who wanted to get things done.

a reply to: carewemust

Yeah. Everything bad is Obama's fault.

Got it.

a reply to: Phage

Does it say he must grant asylum?

Very diplomatic, are you a politician hahaha

I’ll star that because I can’t disagree with it and I can’t see how anyone else could either.
