She offered her remarks on SiriusXM\u2019s <em>Breitbart News Sunday\u00a0<\/em>in an interview with Breitbart News Deputy Political Editor Amanda House.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Waldman said, \u201cI can you tell you with near assurance that if you say the magic words, \u2018I\u2019m scared,\u2019 we let you into the country.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Migrants from Mexico and South America have been <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/immigration\/2018\/04\/27\/immigration-lawyers-help-caravan-migrants-claim-asylum\/\">coached<\/a> by left-wing lawyers on how to best obtain entry to the U.S. via asylum request.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing asylum claims skyrocket,\u201d said Waldman. \u201cBefore 2013, one out of every 100 arriving aliens claimed credible fear, now it\u2019s one out of every ten. Central America isn\u2019t 100 times \u2014 ten times \u2014 more dangerous or economically unstable than it was five years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people know our immigration laws better than our own members of Congress,\u201d added Waldman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LISTEN<\/strong>:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/517820829&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Waldman <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/border\/2018\/03\/30\/caravan-1500-central-american-migrant-familes-crossing-mexico-reach-u-s-border\/\">reflected<\/a> on an earlier caravan of Central American migrants that traveled to the U.S. this past summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe never tracked the caravan migrants from the one back earlier in the summer,\u201d noted Waldman. \u201cShockingly enough, of the nearly 100,000 family units apprehended from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in 2017, 99 percent remain here today.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Waldman added, \u201cOf the 34,000 unaccompanied alien children from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador we apprehended in 2017, nearly 98 percent remain in the country today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Catch-and-release policies incentivize immigration to the U.S., said Waldman: \u201cWe have these wide open catch-and-release immigration loopholes that act as a pull factor for individuals \u2014 economic migrants \u2014 like we\u2019re seeing in this caravan come towards the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waldman continued, \u201cDay in and day out, we see caravan-size apprehensions at the border. There are 2,000 people apprehended almost every single day at the border. This is a crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waldman <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/www.state.gov\/j\/tip\/laws\/113178.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">pointed<\/a> to the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act\u00a0(TVPRA) \u2014 legislation <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/www.feinstein.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm\/press-releases?ID=7b292e44-b306-86d0-a0b4-981389abaf5d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">sponsored<\/a> by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) \u2014 as a legislative source of \u201cloopholes\u201d facilitating mass migration to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Waldman remarked, \u201cWe are seeing these catch and release loopholes \u2014 this 2008 Dianne Feinstein\u2019s law that says we treat Central American differently than we treat Mexicans and Canadians. It\u2019s kind of crazy that we can send back a Mexican that we apprehend at the border, but we can\u2019t send back anyone from Honduras, Guatemala, or El Salvador.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waldman went on, \u201cOur current immigration laws are a mess because of these catch-and-release loopholes and different court orders, 2008\u2019s Dianne Feinstein\u2019s TVPRA or the Flores Agreement that <a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/supreme.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/us\/507\/292\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">says<\/a> you can\u2019t detain family units. All of those have literally led to this crisis at the border and a flood of illegal immigration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waldman noted the increase in apprehensions of unaccompanied alien children at or near the U.S.-Mexico border by Customs and Border Protection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2000, we were primarily apprehending single adults,\u201d recalled Waldman. \u201cToday, 40 percent of our apprehensions are family units and unaccompanied alien children, both of whom are pretty much exempt from enforcement because of these catch and release loopholes. We can\u2019t detain a family unit for longer than 20 days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Waldman explained existing laws prevent law enforcement from detaining migrants until their court dates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, if we\u2019re able to apprehend a Central American single adult, we\u2019re able to detain them and remove them within 40 days, but unfortunately, because of the Flores Settlement Agreement, we can\u2019t detain longer than 20 days,\u201d said Waldman. \u201cSo we can\u2019t even house them or detain them to be able to remove, so therefore we catch, and literally apprehend, border patrol is literally apprehending the folks who come to our border, but then we have to release them because we cannot detain them longer through their immigration cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil we can close those loopholes, we\u2019re going to continue to see these caravans and illegal immigration at record numbers,\u201d concluded Waldman.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/radio\/2018\/10\/22\/dhs-spox-magic-words-im-scared-america\/\">http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/radio\/2018\/10\/22\/dhs-spox-magic-words-im-scared-america\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106558\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
