BP Council says ‘catch and release’ policy continues fueling illegal immigration.

Officials last week spoke up about the Obama administration’s so-called “catch and release” policies blamed for hindering Border Patrol operations and encouraging illegal crossers from coming into the United States.

A recent letter from the National Border Patrol Council states a high-ranking member of the Obama administration confirmed to Border Patrol agents they have no intention of removing illegal border crossers that are being released with an order to appear in court.

It's my understanding that the current immigration law doesn't addresses the current immigration problem. Hence, the need for reform.

Under Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code, "Improper Entry by Alien," any citizen of any country other than the United States who:

Enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers; or
Eludes examination or inspection by immigration officers; or
Attempts to enter or obtains entry to the United States by a willfully false or misleading representation or the willful concealment of a material fact;
has committed a federal crime.

Violations are punishable by criminal fines and imprisonment for up to six months. Repeat offenses can bring up to two years in prison. Additional civil fines may be imposed at the discretion of immigration judges, but civil fines do not negate the criminal sanctions or nature of the offense.
 

But the children of illegal immigrants that were brought and raised here didn't have a choice and don't fit the definition of that law. Then there is the problem of separating families ...and hundreds of thousands of unattended children crossing the border...and discerning who is a legitimate refugee from Central America and who isn't....and so on. So the law does need reforming and simply putting up a wall just doesn't cut it, imo.

I never mentioned a wall. I don't need the youtube link as I am partially in agreement with you already. But I do have a problem with pregnant mothers coming across the border trying to use US citizens as suckers.
 
that was a poorly written article
at times, it appeared to focus on unaccompanied minors crossing the border
but never actually explains if that was the focus of the discussion with the Obama appointee

Add that to the list of immigration reform. Without it, Obama can't enforce a law that doesn't exist.

He can't enforce the laws on the books, why would we trust him with a new set of laws.

I think he's added more border patrol and deported more illegal immigrants than his predecessors. Also, last year(?) the illegal immigration rate was the lowest it's been in a decade or more.

He can't enforce laws that don't exist but he's also not enforcing the laws that do exist.

you post that as if Obama's opponents would acknowledge the facts
Since coming to office in 2009, Obama’s government has deported more than 2.5 million people—up 23% from the George W. Bush years.

Obama has deported more immigrants than any other president. Now he’s running up the score. | Fusion

U.S. deports fewer illegals, criminals as Obama amnesty kicks in - Washington Times

And they claimed good news on the border as well, where apprehensions are down dramatically, falling to about 337,000, or the lowest number since 2011, and is far lower than the peak of 1.6 million caught at the border in 2000.

When making all sorts of Amnesty promises that causes a surge of illegal immigrants crossing the border, do you think it may be that the President created the increased border activity to begin with?
 

And this is partly why the National Border Patrol Council endorsed Trump.

*mother of all facepalms*

We already have laws that address the current immigration problem. The problem is THEY AREN'T ENFORCED!

Obama picks and chooses which immigration laws he wants enforced (which is very very few) and ignores the rest. And when a local/state government chooses to enforce the laws (RE: Arizona), he sics the DOJ on them. Meanwhile, he ignores the local/state govts who break the law by creating Sanctuary laws and gives illegals stuff like in-state tuition and driver's licenses.
