'Reestablish the rule of law': Sheriffs honor Trump for fighting illegal immigration

By S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Wednesday, September 5, 2018
Dozens of sheriffs from across the country came to the White House on Wednesday to thank Present Trump for supporting law enforcement and fighting illegal immigration.
Sheriff Thomas Hodgson of Bristol County, Massachusetts said Mr. Trump had “reestablish the rule of law.”
“We have been for 20 years asking Congress to move on the security aspects of immigration reform and nothing has happened,” he said. “And what’s really amazing, Mr. President, is with your strength of purpose [and] the commitment to your convictions, you’ve done more in less than two years in support of law enforcement and dealing with this illegal immigration” than Congress did in two decades.
Earlier, the 45 sheriffs held a press conference at the Capitol to call on lawmakers to take action on border security and illegal immigrant crime.
At the White House, they presented Mr. Trump with a plaque commemorating their esteem.
Mr. Trump said the award was “something very meaningful.”
“I will put that in a place of great honor in the Oval Office,” he said.
The president praised the sheriffs for the work they’ve done keeping American safe. He said that he and the sheriffs had something in common in that they both persevered against a hostile news media.
Mr. Trump. “And the job you’ve done in light of all the things you have to go through — I guess a little bit like me also — but I will say that you have been really outstanding, incredible people. Crime statistics are down. We are really doing well.”
Why are they going soft on the opioid epidemic? Aren’t they criminals who should be locked up to the full extent of the law? We are a nation of laws after all, aren’t we? Or does that only apply to people and groups you no empathy for?
Are you serious? Let me put it another way, if you don’t like what the players are doing, then simply don’t watch. SJ doesn’t agree with the protests so I’m sinply telling him to protest the protest by not watching.
Hey Nutter's here's another former serviceman you'll need to add to your hate list.
Former Green Beret Nate Boyer on Colin Kaepernick: ‘It’s OK to be different’
Before former Seahawks and University of Texas long snapper Nate Boyer began playing football, he served six years in the United States Army. A former Green Beret, Boyer made the Longhorns' roster as a walk-on in 2010, and eventually signed with Seattle and had a short preseason stint in 2015 after going undrafted.
In a thoughtful op-ed published by NBC News, Boyer urged people "on both ends of the political spectrum" to embrace and respect conflicting viewpoints. Boyer writes that "nobody is a perfect patriot."
"Two years ago, Colin Kaepernick sat on the bench during the national anthem for the first time before the San Francisco 49ers played the Green Bay Packers in a preseason game. This was the statement he gave after the game explaining why he was protesting: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
When Kaepernick and I met and talked just six days later, a few hours before the 49ers were set to play the San Diego Chargers, we discussed a lot, but more importantly we listened to each other. I wanted him to stand and he had pledged to sit during the anthem, but we found middle ground: Colin would take a knee, making his statement about police brutality while also respecting the men and women who fought and died for what our flag is supposed to represent.
The men who have followed in Kaepernick's footsteps say they are not protesting the anthem itself, they are demonstrating during the anthem. It's an important distinction to understand. Personally, I do not endorse Kaepernick's method of protest but I absolutely support his right to do so. That is an unpopular place to stand these days, in the radical middle, defending someone you somewhat disagree with…. It's hard for me to grasp why this is so difficult for people (from both ends of the political spectrum) to understand. It's OK to be different, it's what makes us the same - embrace it and remember that nobody's a perfect patriot, especially not me."

Let's take these bitchy and whiny complaints one by one:
You don’t want to pay taxes
You do?
You demand the pothole on your street get covered up ASAP.
You don't?
You don’t want bank regulations but you complained about your 401k during the recession.
Looks like someone is trying to re-write history...good read below. Enlighten yourself.

You demand our airlines are safe but you bitch about the pat downs.
I like the pat downs but seriously this is a conservative issue...huh?
You’re for free speech unless you disagree with the message.
You mean like Facebook & Twitter?
You’re tough on crime unless it’s somebody you like (with Sheriff Joe being the biggest pussy of all time).
What crime...like illegal aliens?
Your tough on all drug related crime unless it’s opioid users (where were you during the crack epidemic?).

Of course. Just don't understand why you posted it that way. I can almost guarantee you the SJ is not watching Football. Joe, like many others including myself, disagree with the way the players protest is being done.
Let me give an example. Do you believe that Rosa Parks message would have been received better had she brought an American Flag on the bus and sat on it in protest? To me you can protest, on your own time, in a peaceful manner all you want. But when you bring in the Flag or National Anthem, well that's when things start to get upset people.

But more importantly, the wall will be a gift to the drug cartels. In interviews with a New York Times contributing writer, drug dealers and human traffickers have preemptively thanked Trump for his border wall. Smugglers see the wall as a quaint distraction, because it has little practical application in a world where they harness the latest technology to move drugs and people into the US. If anything, they believe the wall will increase their profits, strengthening criminal networks.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/08/opinions/border-wall-cartels-trump-opinion-driver/index.html
Separately, Stephen D. Morris, a Middle Tennessee State University political science professor whose research has largely focused on Mexico, gave us the same two reasons for why he believes “the wall will not do very much to stop drugs.”
“First, as you say, most drug shipments come disguised as commerce and are crossing the border by truck or in cargo containers. Human mules, to my knowledge, bring in a small fraction,” he said. “Second, smugglers adapt. Whether it is tunnels, submarines, mules, drones, etc., they are good at figuring out new ways to get drugs to those in the US who will buy them.”

Turn a blind eye to reality if wish . . . and good luck with that.
And based on reports from the US Drug Enforcement Administration and other government officials, more troops along the border may miss the mark when it comes to staunching the flow of illicit narcotics into the US.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration said in its 2017 National Drug Threat Assessment, however, that Mexican transnational criminal organizations transported illicit drugs into the US across its southwest border using varied methods.
"The most common method employed by these TCOs," it said, "involves transporting illicit drugs through US ports of entry in passenger vehicles with concealed compartments or commingled with legitimate goods on tractor trailers."
The 48 official land crossings that see the passage of millions of people, vehicles, and cargo every day — and are already staffed by law-enforcement and customs officials — also see the vast majority of illegal drug shipments.
Among the techniques smugglers use to conceal cargoes of meth are "human couriers commercial flights, parcel services, and commercial buses," according to the report. "Traffickers most commonly transport small, multi kilogram shipments of methamphetamine in privately-owned vehicles."

A pair of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents look at tracks in the sand along the floating fence that makes up the international border with Mexico, Wednesday, July 18, 2018 in Imperial County, Calif. 126-miles of border cuts through ... more >

Assaults on ICE agents reached a decade high in 2017, and assaults on Border Patrol agents have also surged in recent years, according to new government numbers that seem to back up agents’ claims that illegal immigrants are increasingly looking to fight rather than flee.
The new numbers, reported by Homeland Security’s inspector general, could even be underselling the problem, investigators said, because the government doesn’t do a good job of tracking incidents, and agents and officers don’t always report them properly.
But the report does signal renewed danger particularly on the southwest border, where agents say a surge in illegal immigration in recent years generally correlates with growing violence.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, often refuse to bring charges or win cases against the perpetrators, the audit found.
At the border, the most frequent method of attack was projectiles — usually large rocks — which accounted for half of assaults. But bombs, clubs, knives, guns and even laser pointers to blind agents have all been used.
Most of the injuries were minor and didn’t require treatment, the audit found.
Customs and Border Protection recorded 1,089 assaults in 2010, which steadily dropped through 2014, when there were just 381 assaults. But things turned violent once again, steadily rising to 856 assaults in 2017.
Last year was the most violent this decade at the border, with 28 assaults per every 10,000 apprehensions.
In the interior, meanwhile, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and officers saw 48 assaults in 2017, tying 2010 as the highest in records going back to the beginning of the decade.
those assaults recorded in 2017 came when ICE officers tried to apprehend Lester Sadict Cruz-Garcia, an illegal immigrant from Honduras who was arrested by police in New York on a domestic assault charge. Police released him into the community, ignoring a request by ICE that he be held.
Deportation officers then had to go out into the community to track him down at his home. When they approached him he struggled and kicked, attempting the get away, the officers said.
They eventually got him in handcuffs and tried to get him into the back of an ICE vehicle when he bit one of the officers on the arm. The officer was taken to the hospital where he was prescribed antibiotics.
Cruz-Garcia was sentenced in June to 364 days in jail.
In another incident last year ICE officers in Massachusetts were trying to deport Mohammed Kenneh to Liberia. They drove him to Logan International Airport in Boston, but he threw a fit, knocked one officer to the ground and then used the handcuffs around his wrists to ensnare the officer’s hand, refusing to let go.
The officer had to be taken to the emergency room.

They never preached over and over “don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.” If they ever did, then yes, they are pussies. You know who else is a pussy, Rudy Giuliani. He made his bones as a hard charging prosecutor with no mercy for ‘la cosa nostra’. No mercy for anybody, Mr. tough on crime, then he agrees that Scooter Libby get a presidential pardon/commutation. Pussy hypocrite. Don’t preach one thing and do another. You know he was a Democrat at one time don’t you?
You have too many phony tough on crime preachers, then when a loved one gets popped (usually their kids) with a crime, they pull all their strings, call all their contacts in high places to try and get out of the jam. This also happens a lot when they get in a jam at school. I’m sure you know of plenty examples.
