No! There couldn't possibly be any white supremacists at DHS

The actual white supremacist 14 words are: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."  

Did they not address the 88?

Yeah, yeah, all lefties are conspiracy theorists.  Nothing to see here.

Have to agree.  That 88 is awkward, at best.  And the 14 words could be a little suspect. I'm not saying the whole of DHS is a hive of Nazis - although it could be.  But, whoever is writing their propaganda seems to know the jargon.

The Department of Homeland Security has prepared new guidance for immigration agents aimed at speeding up deportations by denying asylum claims earlier in the process.

The new guidelines, contained in a draft memo dated February 17 but not yet sent to field offices, directs agents to only pass applicants who have a good chance of ultimately getting asylum, but does not give specific criteria for establishing credible fear of persecution if sent home.

The administration's plan is to leave wide discretion to asylum officers by allowing them to determine which applications have a "significant possibility" of being approved by an immigration court, the sources said.

In 2015, just 18 percent of asylum applicants whose cases were ruled on by immigration judges were granted asylum, according to the Justice Department.

So, it was already pretty darned low.

Asylum seekers who fail the credible fear test can be quickly deported unless they file an appeal. Currently, those who pass the test are eventually released and allowed to remain in the United States awaiting hearings, which are often scheduled years into the future because of a backlog of more than 500,000 cases in immigration courts.

But Trump says we don't need more judges. We just need ICE and the border patrol.

A congressional aide familiar with the administration’s plans said DHS is considering expanding its contracts with private prison companies like GEO Group and CoreCivic , which currently hold most immigrant detainees.

But not more judges. That would be silly.






Last report I saw, there were now 334 judges with the hopes of adding 100 more.
