2020 Dem candidate Julian Castro proposes releasing illegals into America with ankle monitors

Obama’s former Housing and Urban Development secretary Julian Castro wants to be America’s next president, and he has some bold new ideas on how to fix the problems plaguing the country.

Castro, a former mayor of San Antonio and youngest member of Obama’s cabinet from 2014 to 2017, announced his intent to run for POTUS in 2020 on Saturday.

The grandson of a Mexican immigrant, Castro told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” he would take a different approach than the Trump administration to folks crossing the southern border illegally, though he’s apparently unaware that his bright idea is already in use.

“What I believe we could do and what the Obama administration did do, I believe, toward the end of its tenure, was to look at things like ankle monitors so that you’re able to monitor where people are in the country,” he told the news station, according to the Washington Examiner.

Rather than detain those who break the law, Castro would treat them as probationers and reward those who cooperate with citizenship.

“We also need to be serious about recognizing the right of people to seek asylum, and the president is playing games with this, blocking people’s right to seek asylum. I would change that,” he said. “I would make sure that we push as hard as possible for comprehensive immigration reform, so that for people who are already here, if they’ve been law abiding, if they pay a fine, that they can get an earned path to citizenship.”

The problem is, ankle monitors aren’t a bold or new idea, and apparently they don’t work.

The Associated Press reported in August that the federal government is issuing thousands of ankle monitors to illegal immigrants and the devices work great to get people to show up to court, until deportation proceedings begin.

After that, many illegal immigrants ditch the devices and run.

According to the AP:

As of early July, there were nearly 84,500 active participants in ICE’s Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, or alternatives to detention — more than triple the number in November 2014. Around 45 percent of those were issued GPS monitors.

ICE spokesman Matthew Bourke said immigration court attendance is strong for immigrants in intensive supervision, but that ankle monitors and other measures are “not an effective tool” after deportation orders are issued. There isn’t reliable information on the number of ankle monitor recipients who remove them and flee, but many say it’s high.

“People can just cut those things off if they want to,” said Sara Ramey, a San Antonio immigration attorney whose asylum-seeking clients are routinely assigned ankle monitors.

President Trump has hit out at Democrats for leaving Washington and taking vacations while he awaits their cooperation on reopening the government.

Trump fired off a tweet Sunday, noting that “The Democrats are everywhere but Washington as people await their pay.”

Trump was following up on a previous tweet asking Democrats to return from vacationing:

The President was referring to the fact that some congressional Democrats spent the weekend in Puerto Rico, while the shutdown became the longest on record.

As The Washington Examiner reported, over 30 Democrats headed to the Caribbean island  with 109 lobbyists and corporate executives in tow, claiming that they were scheduled to discuss their “shared priorities.”

Those priorities included seeing the Broadway show Hamilton and attending at least three parties.

Sen. Bob Menendez was spotted on the beach, discussing his own priorities:

Of course, the leftist media has not reported on any of this, instead blaming Trump for the shutdown gridlock.

The White House also slammed Democrats, with Press Secretary Sarah Sanders accusing Democrats of “partying on the beach instead of negotiating a compromise.”

In an interview with Fox News, Trump told Jeanine Pirro that he does not want to have to call a national emergency at the southern border.

“I’d rather see the Democrats come back from their vacation and act. They’re not acting, and they’re the ones that are holding it up,” he said. “It would take me 15 minutes to get a deal done, and everybody could go back to work. But I’d like to see them act responsibly, and they’re not acting responsibly, and that’s it. I’m in the White House, and most of them are in different locations. They’re watching a certain musical in a very nice location.”

Trump followed up the tweet Monday, again asserting that the shutdown could be ended within 15 minutes:

Gaetz: Next Dem Prez Will Use National Emergency To Build Trans Bathrooms

By 
January 11, 2019 10:17 am

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said that he doesn’t want President Donald Trump to declare a national emergency to fund the wall because of the precedent it would set for the next Democratic President, according to a Thursday Wall Street Journal report.

“I don’t want the next national emergency to be that some Democrat President says we have to build transgender bathrooms in every elementary school in America,” Gaetz said.

Trump has been teasing the decision for days, saying Thursday that he “can’t imagine any reason” not to declare a national emergency.

Leftist Congresswoman Accuses Trump of Ethnic Cleansing

By 

A leftist Congresswoman joined MSNBC Thursday night to accuse President Donald J. Trump of ethnic cleansing – seriously.

“His ultimate goal is, as you said, to make America pure in the sense of not having immigrants, not having folks of color here, shutting down every form of legal immigration, all to throw a bone to those people,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) on “All In With Chris Hayes.”

There were no brakes on the insane train, as Hayes made no attempt to interject or slow the congresswoman down. Aside from the obvious lie, this represents a new level of vile anti-Trump rhetoric from the left.

MSNBC flashed a graphic during the segment that claimed “it was never about a wall,” with which Jayapal vocally agreed, despite the fact that it has – quite literally – always been about a wall. The only party that has ever interjected race into this equation is Democratic Party, which thrives off of race-pimping and racial warfare.

Hundreds of studies, by the way, (here’s one) have shown that illegal immigration disproportionately affects blacks and Hispanics, a fact which Trump noted during his border wall address on Tuesday night. In fact, building a wall demonstrably help “folks of color,” as Jayapal calls them. The only group that would significantly negatively impacted would be big business owners, who would have to stop employing illegals at half the rate they would employ Americans, forcing them to give those low-skilled jobs to low-skilled American employees.

But the liberal elite like Jayapal and Hayes refuse to acknowledge these basic facts, instead choosing to brand Republicans as “racists,” or in this case claim that they are advocating for genocide.

All the Democrats have to do is not be insane, and they cannot even manage that.
