Immigration laws exist to protect Americans, Follow the link to see our explanation of that statement..
In this section we will periodically document the results of failure to enforce them.
Public Safety
Immigration laws exist, in part, to protect Americans from the activities of alien criminals. However, our immigration enforcement system is broken - we no longer try to deal effectively with illegal aliens, not even criminals in jail, and worse, not even violent criminals. At one time, in this section we documented the more egregious results of failure to deal with criminal aliens. No more. The examples are so common and widely known that we will no longer bother with individual cases. However, our collective, long experience has shown that in places where immigration violations are aggressively prosecuted the level of violations goes down. We seem unwilling to pursue that solution. If the system were working properly criminals would be deported when the justice system was finished with them - but that is not happening. This administration is turning alien criminals by the thousands back into society, encouraged and abetted by the powers that be in sanctuary cities. One must ask why this is allowed. What is the agenda at work that places so little value on public order and safety that criminals who could be removed from our country are instead allowed to flourish here? The reader should ask himself about that question, "Who benefits?" when he next enters the voting booth. Coming in unvaccinated
Public Health
Immigration laws exist, in part, to protect American public health. In two immediately obvious areas, Ebola and Enterovirus, we are failing to use them to that purpose. Item October 17, 2014 - Our Government Heedlessly Brings Enterovirus to Our Children - and it is killing some of them Enterovirus (called EV D68 by virologists) has been brought to this country by the surge of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) that took place last spring and summer (2015). The arrival of tens of thousands of children was no surprise to the administration, who began planning to receive the children last January - and they are preparing now to accommodate a further surge without regard to the public health consequences. The administration knows that these children are coming from areas in Central America with a high incidence of EV D68 and that they bring it with them - nevertheless, they place the children in our schools and, to make matters worse, there is no tracking going on by the federal or state governments of the public health impact of this practice. In fact, it appears that deliberate attempts at concealment of data is going on. Click HERE to read an article that explores the problem and the background in depth and HERE to read another.
National Security
One of the primary purposes of immigration laws is to protect the American people and American national security. 9/11 was an epic and feckless failure to enforce them - every hijacker was illegally in the United States. ITEM: 8/24/2016, from Zero Hedge, an online news source.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents working with Mexican immigration officials have found thousands of non-Hispanic illegal immigrants crossing Mexico’s southern border to make their way to Texas. The so-called "extra-continental" immigrants enter countries as far south as Brazil and make their way to the United States, often with forged travel documents. Read the complete article HERE. The foregoing item plays naturally off the following, which is extracted from an article in the Latin Times of 9/9/2014. NAFBPO has for quite some time now heard whispers of AQ presence in Mexico and its cooperation with the transnational criminal organizations that operate there. http://www.latintimes.com/isis-attack-united-states-911-high-level-sources-state-terrorists-will-hit-mexico-border-259970 "A new report from Judicial Watch, a government watchdog group, claims that an Islamic terrorist organization is currently operating in Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez, and has a plan to attack the United States along the Mexican border on 9/11. "
Jobs for Americans
Another of the primary purposes of immigration laws is to assure that alien workers do not displace American workers and drive down wages. They are, and they, in very substantial numbers. To think otherwise, one must assume that the law of supply and demand has somehow been repealed. ITEM: NAFBPO notes that the study cited below reflects the same results as those done recently in Florida and North Carolina. Why are American jobs not going first to Americans?
All Georgia’s Employment Growth Since 2000 Has Gone to Immigrants WASHINGTON, DC (September 11, 2014) —The Gang of Eight immigration bill (S.744) passed last June would have roughly doubled the number of new foreign workers allowed into the country, as well as legalize illegal immigrants, partly on the grounds that there is a labor shortage. Many business groups and political leaders in Georgia supported the legislation. In a new study the Center for Immigration Studies examines government data to see if there is evidence of a labor shortage. The analysis shows that since 2000, all of the net increase in the number of working-age (16 to 65) people holding a job in Georgia has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). This is the case even though the native-born accounted for 54 percent of growth in the state’s total working-age population. Even worse, the labor force participation rate of Georgia’s natives shows no improvement through the first part of this year despite the economic recovery. View the entire report HERE ITEM - Sweat is a commodity to be bought and sold, and like sand or diamonds, the greater the supply, the lower the value per unit. The United States has had an oversupply of labor for over 30 years brought about by the presence of immigrants, legal and illegal. That oversupply has depressed wages for Americans, especially those at the lower end of the income scale, making American workers compete for jobs with foreigners. While the bottom line of the American employer benefits from cheap labor, the American worker's bottom line does not. How can we hope to win the war on poverty if we keep importing reinforcements for the other side? Read a report on the issue that draws on material from the Congressional Research Service HERE. |
Who We Are
We are former officers of the United States Border Patrol, Immigration and Naturalization Service, CBP and ICE. We all swore an oath to the nation when we began our service; in this day, when such things are too often seen as archaic, it is with us still - none of us remembers hearing an expiration date when we swore it.

The legislature of Massachusetts has been considering a statue that, if signed, would bring Immigration Sanctuary to the whole of the state. Chairman Zack Taylor has been asked to offer a view about what this could mean for the state. Click HERE to read the letter. Article - "Asylum Officers Revolt Against Trump Policies They Say are Immoral and Illegal"
Asylum claims made at the international border and adjudicated at the border at time and place of entry as have been done in the past are quite simple. The alien either applies for asylum at the first country they arrive in after fleeing from their home country or establishes to a U.S. "Immigration Officer" a credible fear claim. Historically credible fear claims were made at the border to Border Patrol Agents or Immigration Inspectors who acted as Asylum Officers do today. Taking the aliens asylum claim statement does not require an attorney as the claim is made in the aliens own words under oath. The asylum seeker does not get due process, only a hearing before an Immigration Judge. At present 93% of asylum claims at the Southern Border do not meet the standard and the claimant is ineligible to receive relief by law. There is no humanitarian consideration in the law. It is credible fear and is clearly specified. What an asylum officer inside the United States "feels" about the plight of the individual is understandable, however, they took a solemn oath to uphold the law and if they won't fairly and impartially do that then they should find employment elsewhere. Bureaucratic maneuvering created a burgeoning and ever increasing demand for more personnel and funding by creating unnecessary positions in the field of federal immigration. The whole idea of paroling in and practicing catch and release at the border is/was a political boondoggle to create a clamoring for agency and resettlement contractor funding and growth at the peril of the security of the United States and that is what the LA. Times and other news agencies are consciously unaware of and not reporting on. Read more HERE Article - "List of Soros Politicians 'Bought and Paid for' Includes Republicans"

Current display of insanity in Congress and Administration in General a Facade
The well worn and trite statement, "You can't fix stupid." aptly describes how the political machinery in America treats Illegal Immigration on the surface. Do not be deceived. There is no humanitarian crisis at the border. There is asymmetrical warfare being waged against America at her borders and it is a Communist inspired program to bring America to her knees. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, IRCA '86 was amnesty with nods to interior enforcement that never happened. We should have learned that it was a political stunt to fool the American people when the political establishment insisted on waving such a large percentage of applications that were fraud on their face making it a political scam rather than any humanitarian effort. This set the stage for future amnesties, DACA, Dreamers, etc. as scams which are already proven as bad policy are their mere consideration has increased illegal immigration. A definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. That is how this current administration is beginning to appear. Do not be deceived. They know better so the pursuit of any further amnesty is in an equation that will disadvantage America in the long run but is seen as providing some unspoken quest for money and power benefiting those pursuing it. There is no compelling "logical" argument that favors amnesty in America, period. Zack Taylor, Chairman Chairman Zack Taylor on the proposed "Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019"
The ‘‘Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019’’ H.R. 4916 is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to create another amnesty. One has but to read the bill index and peruse a few paragraphs to clearly see this is a boondoggle of epic proportions. Note well that the sponsors of this bill are avoiding the pressing needs of Americans and diverting attention away from those needs by trying to sneak this bill in. At this point in America’s history the last legislation Congress should be entertaining is another amnesty, if ever. If we didn’t learn anything else from the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 we should have learned that even the mention of amnesty brings hoards of illegal aliens flocking to our borders. Additionally, this bill is evidence of how far out of touch these legislators are with the needs of America in the area of immigration. Zack Taylor, Chairman View the bill HERE
Roger Brandemuehl, a former Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol and co-founder of NAFBPO, has written a letter to America.
It nicely recapitulates NAFBPO's thoughts on the executive order amnesty that the President intends to use (at this updated writing, Aug 2016, he has used...) to do what Congress, who represents the people, has not been willing to do. NAFBPO believes that Congress has not acted because there is no clear consensus on the part of the American people calling for massive forgiveness and legalization of lawbreakers. Thus, Congress is acting as the Founders intended when they gave legislative power to the people's representatives, not to a single individual.
