      • Gotta crack down on those American-Born Illegals! 'cause anyone born within 300 miles of the border isn't a real American!
        U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question

        PHARR, Tex. — On paper, he’s a devoted U.S. citizen.

        His official American birth certificate shows he was delivered by a midwife in Brownsville, at the southern tip of Texas. He spent his life wearing American uniforms: three years as a private in the Army, then as a cadet in the Border Patrol and now as a state prison guard.

        But when Juan, 40, applied to renew his U.S. passport this year, the government’s response floored him. In a letter, the State Department said it didn’t believe he was an American citizen.

        As he would later learn, Juan is one of a growing number of people whose official birth records show they were born in the United States but who are now being denied passports — their citizenship suddenly thrown into question. The Trump administration is accusing hundreds, and possibly thousands, of Hispanics along the border of using fraudulent birth certificates since they were babies, and it is undertaking a widespread crackdown.

        In a statement, the State Department said that it “has not changed policy or practice regarding the adjudication of passport applications,” adding that “the U.S.-Mexico border region happens to be an area of the country where there has been a significant incidence of citizenship fraud.”

        But cases identified by The Washington Post and interviews with immigration attorneys suggest a dramatic shift in both passport issuance and immigration enforcement.

        In a case last August, a 35-year-old Texas man with a U.S. passport was interrogated while crossing back into Texas from Mexico with his son at the McAllen-Hidalgo-Reynosa International Bridge, connecting Reynosa, Mexico, to McAllen, Tex.

        His passport was taken from him, and Customs and Border Protection agents told him to admit that he was born in Mexico, according to documents later filed in federal court. He refused and was sent to the Los Fresnos Detention Center and entered into deportation proceedings.

        He was released three days later, but the government scheduled a deportation hearing for him in 2019. His passport, which had been issued in 2008, was revoked.

        Attorneys say these cases, where the government’s doubts about an official birth certificate lead to immigration detention, are increasingly common. “I’ve had probably 20 people who have been sent to the detention center — U.S. citizens,” said Jaime Diez, an attorney in Brownsville.

        The denials are happening at a time when Trump has been lobbying for stricter federal voter identification rules, which would presumably affect the same people who are now being denied passports — almost all of them Hispanic, living in a heavily Democratic sliver of Texas.

        • The anti-Trumpers are against unbiased justice. They only want conservatives investigated and prosecuted. They want good Americans like General Flynn to be financially ruined, bullied, and possibly sent to prison because he ran afoul with the deep state, and the deep state doesn't like Trump either. So the left applauds as an American that served this country with distinction is ruined.

          • Geez, you sound like Kenobi claiming the NHL is biased anytime his beloved Canucks are called for more penalties than their opponent.

            "Unbiased justice" does not mean tracking the percentages of offenders from each party. It means following where the evidence leads and exposing the criminals, regardless of political affiliation.

              Even Rasmussen has him under water. And two new pollsters that came out put him at 40%. He's tanking again. And most importantly his disapproval rating is climbing. Reuters/Ipsos (highly regarded) and USA Today have him at 57% and 56% disapproval respectively.

              • The pro-Trumpers hate America, hate anyone who is different than them and want to see people like me put in gas chambers.

                They even wear shirts saying they'd rather be Russian than a democrat. Yeah, Russian. If they love Russia so much, go ****ing move there with its non-existent healthcare and ballooning military budget that takes up 35% of the entire government budget.

                    Dude, it's YOUR strawman.

                • The President should do two things on the same day at the most opportune time before the mid-terms.

                  1) Release all documents currently being hidden by the crooked deep state to the citizens.

                  2) Reduce the sentence of all non-violent criminals being incarcerated by 2 years.

                  And crush the Ds just like they were crushed after the Civil War.

                    Yeah, this would result in a lot of minorities being released from jail that would probably vote for Democrats. Only our Kidiot would think this would help republicans.

                    I won't even waste time talking about his other insane thought.
                    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                      Except the republicans are gonna getcrushed in the midterms. Let's face it... If republicans can barely win conservative districts (and even lose them), imagine what will happen nationally.

                          • Proteus, but those republican congressmen work so hard (stealing). They deserve that high salary, free for life benefits and unlimited vacations. Could you imagine working 93 days a year for that lol? Btw that doesn't exclude bribes/donations and speaking engagements lol. And Duncan Hunter still struggled financially lol.
