The Department of Homeland Security announces that it is expanding the “expedited removal” of those who are captured illegally entering the U.S.
Oh, there’s these small exceptions to the policy:
- Only applies to those caught within 100 miles of the Mexican or Canadian borders
- Only applies if the migrant is apprehended within the first 14 days in the U.S.
- Policy not “primarily directed” at illegal aliens who are citizens of Mexico or Canada
Let’s see, by my crude estimate those exceptions exclude 95% of all illegal migrants we might catch. But hey, we’re getting tough on the borders!
