Texas State Troopers Ramp Up Arrests of Illegal Alien Trespassers
2021-08-13
Article is behind the paywall.
[EpochTimes] Texas state troopers have started delivering van-loads of illegal aliens to the Kinney County Sheriff’s Office to be charged with criminal trespass.

The parking lot and an old steel picnic table under a tree outside the sheriff’s office have become a proxy booking center as the building is more suited for the crimes of a quiet, rural county of 3,600 residents.

But last week, the area was bustling as troopers brought in and processed 17 illegal aliens on Aug. 3, another 17 on Aug. 6, and 13 more overnight on Aug. 8. All were males, and all appeared before the Kinney County justice of the peace for criminal trespass after being arrested on local ranches.

#6  I never could fathom why we treat illegal border crossers as 'immigrants'. I sponsored 2 legal immigrants and it is a specific legal status which is granted by the government by way of an immigrant visa after a process of application, investigation, interviews, medical exams, etc... In each case I had to make a financial commitment, by way of an Affidavit Of Support, that they would not become a financial burden on the government.

These are not Immigrants. There is no such thing as an illegal or undocumented immigrant since 'immigrant' status is conveyed via an Immigrant Visa - a Document. You do not magically become an immigrant when you cross the border or overstay your tourist or business visa.

Take them directly to the border and kick them out. They are not immigrants and should not be given access to the 'immigration courts' or process. And yes that includes Asylum seekers - who should apply at a legal port of entry _or_ consulate office.

#5  $30 or 30 days should be the penalty, and the county can let them work it off cleaning up their trash.

#2  Tucker Carlson recently went to Hungary and visited the fence that separates Hungary from Serbia. While he was there the border guards caught a couple of Syrians trying to get across the line. The border guards checked the Syrians' papers, frisked them and then escorted them to a gate in the fence where they were unceremoniously put back on the Serbian side. The detainment was very brief. There was no "asylum" hearing. The Syrians did not get to tell their sad story to anybody. They were simply returned to the other side of the border. Why can't we do that?
