"The laws are created by Congress" Yup. "The POTUS and his admin are enforcing the laws." The law doesn't say "separate families". That is a policy instituted by Sessions, comrade. Sessions orders 'zero tolerance' policy at Southwest border APRIL 6, 2018 MEMORANDUM FOR FEDERAL PROSECUTORS ALONG THE SOUTHWEST BORDER FROM: THE ATTORNEY GENERA(W -----:, , ~#118" SUBJECT: Zero-Tolerance for Offenses Under 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a) On April 11, 2017, I issued a memorandum to all federal prosecutors entitled "Renewed Commitment to Criminal Immigration Enforcement," in which I directed the prioritization of the prosecution of certain criminal immigration offenses. I further directed each United States Attorney's Office along the Southwest Border to work with the Department ofHomeland Security to develop guidelines for prosecuting offenses under 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a). Those seeking to further an illegal goal constantly alter their tactics to take advantage of weak points. That means we must effectively respond with smart changes also. The recent increase in aliens illegally crossing our Southwest Border requires an updated approach. Past prosecution initiatives in certain districts-such as Operation Streamline-led to a decrease in illegal activities in those districts. We must continue to execute effective policies to meet new challenges. Accordingly, I direct each United States Attorney's Office along the Southwest Borderto the extent practicable, and in consultation with DHS- to adopt immediately a zero-tolerance policy for all offenses referred for prosecution under section 1325(a). This zero-tolerance policy shall supersede any existing policies. If adopting such a policy requires additional resources, each office shall identify and request such additional resources. You are on the front lines of this battle. I respect you and your team. Your dedication and insight into border reality is invaluable. Keep us informed, and don't hesitate to give us suggestions for improvement. Remember, our goal is not simply more cases. It is to end the illegality in our immigration system.
