The new “surge initiative” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement marks the latest get-tough approach to immigration by the federal government since President Donald Trump took office.
It is also a sharp departure from policies in place under President Barack Obama, during which tens of thousands of young people crossed the border illegally. The children were then placed with sponsors—typically parents, close relatives or family friends—who cared for the minors while their cases moved through the immigration court system.
The government said it plans to arrest the sponsors.
“ICE aims to disrupt and dismantle end-to-end the illicit pathways used by transnational criminal organizations and human-smuggling facilitators,” agency spokeswoman Sarah Rodriguez said. “The sponsors who have placed children directly into harm’s way by entrusting them to violent criminal organizations will be held accountable.”

Why was this not an issue a generation or two ago? Is because of what bags suggested a couple posts ago, that recent benefits entice the smuggling? Or is it because poverty has become so abject elsewhere?
More winning.
What the Mocha Messiah giveth, The Donald taketh away.
Looks like that may be true for IdiotCare. Trump's gone over to the repeal side, although McConnell's fighting it.
Let's see how this plays a little closer to the midterms.
This is gonna make the beaners heads explode.
