Man Whose Son Was Killed by Illegal Immigrant: Trump Was ‘Hurt’ by My Story – Fox News Insider

A California man whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant in March 2008 reacted this morning to the backlash over President Donald Trump's stance on illegal immigration.

Jamiel Shaw St. said he campaigned alongside Trump last year because he felt that the then-candidate's views on increased border security were genuine.

Jamiel Shaw Jr., 17, was killed in a drive-by shooting when two Latino men mistook him for a gang member.

His father, Jamiel Shaw Sr., said before the murder, the killer was released from a county jail despite an ICE order to hold him following several gun charges.

"Instead of deporting him, they just let him out like he was at YMCA camp. He murdered my son the same day he got out," said Shaw on "Fox & Friends."

Shaw recalled telling his story to Trump, explaining that the president was deeply affected by his story and that he wants to enforce the law.

"I could tell that it hurt him. ... I trusted that he was gonna do something and he came through. I'm happy that he's doing it, but now we have to enforce it and he's got all these people fighting against him," he said.

California bears the costs of illegal immigration – San Francisco Chronicle

Counter-demonstrators to protesters opposing arrivals of buses carrying largely women and children undocumented migrants for processing at the Murrieta Border Patrol Station are detained on July 4, 2014 in Murrieta, Calif.

Counter-demonstrators to protesters opposing arrivals of buses...

While it is popular with many Californians that Gov. Jerry Brown opposes President Trumps anti-immigrant policies, Brown should be honest and avoid fake news and alternative facts. Here are a few of the consequences of sheltering approximately 2.3 million illegal immigrants in California:

Competition for affordable housing: 1.5 million Californians pay more than half their income for housing, a result of overcrowding.

More than 20 million tons of greenhouse gases are added each year by undocumented residents. Californias annual per-capita carbon dioxide production is 10 metric tons/per person.

Competition for low-wage jobs is increased. Middle-income employers can pay lower wages.

Allowing illegal immigrants to live and drive contributes to wasted time in traffic and greenhouse gas production.

English language learners in the classroom lower academic performance by diverting limited educational resources. California has almost 1.4 million English language learners, and has the highest student/teacher ratio of all the large states. California scores lower than average for the nation in reading, mathematics and science.

Pointing these out does not mean someone is against continued nonenforcement of the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.

When we decide we have a big heart and a liberal mind in welcoming mostly economic migrants, we should do this with our eyes wide open as to the long-term consequences for the poor, our schools and our environment.

David Benefiel lives in Sebastopol.

Trump appoints new Immigration and Customs Enforcement director noted for his work deporting illegal immigrants – Washington Post

President Trump has appointed Thomas D. Homan as the new acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly said in a statement Monday night.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said that Daniel H. Ragsdale, the acting director, will continue to serve as the deputy director of ICE.

The move was announced not long after Trump fired acting attorney general Sally Yates, and was met by chatter on social media suggesting that Ragsdale was fired. Gillian Christensen, the Homeland Security spokeswoman, said that Ragsdale was not dismissed from the agency and will instead remain in deputy director role he had served since May 2012. There also was no immediate indication he held any views that were counter to the presidents.

Reached on the phone, Ragsdale declined to comment.

Mark A. Morgan, the chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, also was removed from his post this month. He had clashed with the powerful Border Patrol union, which endorsed Trump for president.

Homan, who has 30 years of immigration enforcement experience, had worked since 2013 as the executive associate director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations. He was honored with an award last year for his work deporting illegal immigrants.

Poll: Should colleges and universities allow illegal immigrants to finish their education despite the travel ban? – FOX43.com

Students who traveled to visit family and friends before President Trump implemented a travel ban to seven countries are unable to return to their studies.

Trumps order, Protection Of the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States, makes good on his longtime campaign promise to tighten borders and halt certain refugees from entering the United State, CNN reported. As well as the ban on travel from seven countries for 90 days, it also caps the total number of refugees admitted into the United States during the 2017 fiscal year at 50,000, down more than half from the current level of 110,000. It halts all refugees from Syria indefinitely.

Colleges and universities nationwide have been issuing statements providing their stance on Trumps immigration policy. Many are encouraging foreign, illegal students to not travel if they are from any of the countries included on the ban list. According to Elizabethtown College, on its website, the university released a statement explaining the details of Trumps order.

In the colleges statement, university officials wrote, Elizabethtown College has long welcomed students and visitors and hired faculty and staff members from countries around the world, without discrimination of their national origin or religion. We believe that global understanding is one of the foundations of learning for our world. We will comply with all regulations regarding immigration and citizenship while upholding the principles of freedom of religious expression and international exchange.

As Trumps policy rolls out, students await their fate of knowing whether their academic efforts will be honored or if they have to lose time dedicated to projects, earned credits, and possible allocated financial aid. Of the seven countries that Trump highlighted in his travel ban, they are more inclined to having an outburst of war. Colleges and universities have already executed policies as to how each is going to manage its student body, previously to the ban when they traveled from America to war-torn countries.

The only difference now is that Trump is banning travel for 90 days in an effort to organize a new immigration policy approach versus allowing war to dictate the outcome of students educations.
