Ricardo,

I was thinking that perhaps IF could work on putting together a Guest Commentary for The New-Gazette using some of this information. It would be a great way to educate the public.  You could submit a guest commentary to jdey at news-gazette.com<mailto:jdey at news-gazette.com>, I think, if you're interested.

Today's N-G had a shorter version of this article http://myhughesnet.hughesnet.com/news/read/category/News/article/the_associated_press-usmexico_trade_war_could_hit_mexico_economy_spur_m-ap which I thought did a good job of describing the economic consequences of following some Trump's stated new policies toward Mexico.  I hope people read it and absorb it.

Greetings everyone:

In the following days, today included, reporters will be asking about the significance of today's executive orders. They will ask what this means to local families and what the IF thinks and is doing about it. Please volunteer to be one of those speakers? Contact me for help and coaching.

We continue to organize and highlight the contributions of immigrants in our immigrant friendly communities; the training this Saturday at 9 AM is a series meant to educate people for action. Email gavegaz@<http://gmail.com>gmail.com<http://gmail.com> to sign up to Immigraion 201.

Some points to think about (It's all from me, not vetted by the IF and I am not a lawyer but I am from the border regions plus the national groups take a while to give us their assessment so I stand to be corrected) , please add to the list as you find them. I will hold and distribute in aggregate form for a daily digest; that is, the flow could be overwhelming so use the FB page or ask for your comment to go directly to the list.

So no censoring, just trying to keep the flow reasonable.

From his Section 2 on policy. The new president has signed what he had heralded before and there is no known terrorism threat on the Southern border:

 a. . The border something is already there, increasing it requires money, he's already postponing the "how" for paying the billions. Unlikely that anyone but the taxpayer will pay for it. All experts agree that the environmental effects are massive, that private property is invaded and that more fencing equals more deaths and more costs but that given the factors on immigrants, they will continue emigrate. 4d. He asks for a study to be completed in 6 months--no funds; I suspect that they will end up adopting the previous ones with the same conclusions. That is, more fence is ineffective except to force people to stay and bring their families.
Section 9 is a scare tactic since there is no way the other branches will produce a 5 year retrospective study in the next 90 days. Section 12 tells us that even on federal lands, there is much to figure out how to access and who can do that.

b. Already implemented since people are screened through fingerprints;Â

c. Expediting considerations is actually a good thing but it costs money; present considerations for asylum can be as long as 6 years so the cost of new judges will have to be born by the taxpayer; will due process be skipped? He assigns the budget of the attorney general in 5c but they are already underesourced so new costs for the taxpayer.

d. Already people rejected are scheduled for deportation as transportation space allows. People are deported everyday and yes, they already stay in jail when they are determined to have broken a criminal law. If the Attorney General had actually been assigned special moneys in Section 13, perhaps the priority enforcement might become true but it can probably go no faster than the present. Real people are being held in jail locally when a criminal charge is pending.

e. Might be a reference to existing cooperation programs that already exist; because of the state and local rights, participation is legally voluntary. Section 10 acknowledges that so it's his way of backtracking. 287g is active in less jurisdictions including Maricopa County where Sheriff Joe once worked;Â

2. The Increase of the number of agents is, unfortunately, on pace for the last 3 presidents. The overwhelming increase of costs means other projects don't get funded. Relatives tell me that a real cost is about 100k a piece. More agents equals more cost but not necessarily less flow.
As long as there is poverty, violence, and US policies that limit jobs in other places, families will do what they can to do better. This includes immigration.

Section 6 and 7 The catch and release program is not new. Already people that have come once before are arrested and held. The number of jail beds being paid for by taxpayers will increase. Refugee and asylum seekers on 5b will continue to be processed until the laws change. Section 5 thus means that if and when contracts and new facilities are built, there will be more taxpayer money involved. To what end but to slow down a natural cycle of migration?  Section 10 now threatens to remove removable aliens which is not a change.Â


Sections 14-17 are pro-forma statements that there will be reporting going on, as there is presently and because of the hurried nature and difficulty of updating reports, it just means that any one report be less reliable.
Expect little change if no new appropriations are made except that more departments might be sued for misinterpretation, over reach or plain mistakes by the zealous; the bureaucracy will move things at their pace.



DACAs are OK for now; the DREAM ACT should be reintroduced.
