The boys are having a busy day, ICE is in San Diego border crossing


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14335907/ice-san-diego-border-crossing-illegal-immigrant-deportation.html?ito=push-notification&ci=kCmYUnvRd6&cri=AGAzYgvX4Y&si=_c0PR1B_dOxE&xi=7671e874-8f1c-404c-9633-fba1c137d883&ai=14335907


Thousands of ICE officers have been dispatched to the San Diego border crossing as they prepare to take '100,000 immigrants' back to Mexico and Central America in one of the biggest migrant raids in recent times.

Marines have already descended on the area in an attempt to secure the crossing as President Trump ramped up his promise of cracking down on illegal immigration.

Around 1,500 active duty troops were deployed to the nearly 2,000-mile border this week, including 500 Marines from Camp Pendleton in California.

They'll be back if things at home have not improved. It's like playing whack a mole. They come here with the full expectation they may get caught and sent back.

The solution is a guest worker program and heavy fines for those who still take in undocumented workers. But the guest worker program needs to be viable. Sadly I think every nut case GOP politician would do everything in their power to gut such a thing. They don't want a solution, they want a campaign talking point.
