Immigration officials apprehended just over 64,000 migrants at the southern border in August – a dramatic drop that the Trump administration is presenting as a sign its diplomatic engagement with Mexico and other countries is having positive effects on the ground.
The 64,006 migrants apprehended or deemed inadmissible represents a 22 percent drop from July, when 82,055 were apprehended, and a 56 percent drop from the peak of the crisis in May, when more than 144,000 migrants were caught or deemed inadmissible. While the numbers typically drop in the summer, the plummet is steeper than typical seasonal declines
Meanwhile, the number of caravans has also dropped. In May, 48 caravans of migrants were recorded coming to the U.S. In August, the tally was six. Border Patrol now has fewer than 5,000 migrants in custody, down from 19,000 at the peak in the spring.
The Trump administration says that while the numbers are still at crisis level, the numbers show the extent to which Trump policies -- such as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) that keep migrants in Mexico as their asylum cases are heard -- are working and that countries south of the border are taking action to stop the flows in response to pressure from the U.S.
Trump is suggesting that it has been a joint effort with Mexico and (of course) hailing himself for brokering the cooperation. The truth is that whatever policies have been changed appear to be working. We are no longer apprehending as many. We are no longer holding as many people in custody. We are certainly not playing the old catch and release game that was prevalent during the Obama administration.
This is good news for the country, even as it is probably "bad news" for Democrats and their hopes to turn our southern border into a Democratic voter recruitment area.

"Lifestyles of the rich and socialist: Bernie Sanders has 3 houses, makes millions
By Adam Shaw | Fox News"
Wonder what his wife drives?
With the help of Faux News and Breitbart and several others, Trump has brainwashed Republicans like CHT, despite his breaks with decades of Republican orthodoxy on trade, immigration, alliances and other issues. Free trade philosophy was started by Saint Ronald Reagan, and the trickle down lie.
Trump is dividing the country with his campaign strategy of governing and, yes racist comments, like the Mexicans are all gangsters and drug traffickers.
On top of that is that his personal properties have been generated millions of business for his resorts.
If any Democratic President had done anything like this, Scott would be screaming #impeachment hearings!
Some people believe that he could actually destroy the Republican party because he is not a conservative.
I'm going to watch the Monday Night Football game today, go Saints!
Trump Dismisses Challengers as a ‘Laughingstock’
President Trump dismissed his trio of challengers for the Republican presidential nomination as “a laughingstock,” and defended the decisions by GOP leaders in a handful of states to scrap their 2020 primaries and caucuses, Politico reports.
Said Trump: “The three people are a total joke. They’re a joke. They’re a laughingstock.”
He added: “I guess it’s a publicity stunt. To be honest, I’m not looking to give them any credibility. They have no credibility."

Who said Mexico would pay for the wall?
Was that a publicity stunt?
You need to build the wall before you can make them pay for the wall.
Trump can pretend all he wants that the supposed “gang members” and “drug dealers” he’s referring to weren’t supposed to be in the Bahamas to begin with. We all know that what he’s doing here is accusing the people of the Bahamas of being gang members and drug dealers. Just as he referred to Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug dealers in 2016.
Donald Trump said on Twitter last week that he would seek to help the hurricane victims in the Bahamas. Instead, he’s once again putting his white supremacist xenophobia on display, in particularly psychotic fashion. Anyone who votes for this guy in 2020 is just as much of a filthy dirty racist as he is.
Socialist Democrats love open borders and cheap labor.
Roger, try to grow up. So far your life is a failure.
Todays Border Patrol commissioner press conference, we are making great progress. If you go to about 6:15 he discusses wall. Q&A addresses children, wall funding. court ruling, FAKE NEWS etc.

BUILD THE WALL !!!
"Yeah, go ahead and build it. We'll pay for it. Sure we will. Just you go ahead and get it built first."

Air Force Crews Stayed At Trump Resort 4 Times
“Air Force crews have stayed overnight at President Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland on at least four occasions, two more than previously reported,” Politico reports.
“The four trips — uncovered through interviews with people present, records of expenditures and social media postings — date back to at least September 2018 and continued through at least this past June. They include at least one instance in which a crew member said a nearby airport arranged for rides and lunches to and from the luxury waterside retreat.
“All the flights were shuttling crews between the United States and the Middle East, and at least three of them of them were divisions of the Air National Guard. In total, over 60 service members stayed at the posh property on these stopovers.”

Trump Promises ‘Extremely Complete’ Report of Finances
“President Trump on Monday claimed he plans on releasing an ‘extremely complete’ report of his financial record, but he offered no specifics and a murky timeline,” Politico reports.
“Speaking to reporters as he departed the White House, Trump suggested that the promised release would dispel the notion that his real estate empire is in need of the taxpayer money and business driven there throughout his presidency.”
______________
SURE he will. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
But it does sound like he's beginning to worry about getting re-elected.
Denny, ere, James, oh Roger.
When do any of you grow up?
You all act like spoiled brats.

But of course why would I want to watch?
An American CIA spy who has access to Vladimir Putin's desk, has been taken out of extracted from his job.
WASHINGTON — Decades ago, the C.I.A. recruited and carefully cultivated a midlevel Russian official who began rapidly advancing through the governmental ranks. Eventually, American spies struck gold: The longtime source landed an influential position that came with access to the highest level of the Kremlin.
As American officials began to realize that Russia was trying to sabotage the 2016 presidential election, the informant became one of the C.I.A.’s most important — and highly protected — assets. But when intelligence officials revealed the severity of Russia’s election interference with unusual detail later that year, the news media picked up on details about the C.I.A.’s Kremlin sources.
C.I.A. officials worried about safety made the arduous decision in late 2016 to offer to extract the source from Russia. The situation grew more tense when the informant at first refused, citing family concerns — prompting consternation at C.I.A. headquarters and sowing doubts among some American counterintelligence officials about the informant’s trustworthiness. But the C.I.A. pressed again months later after more media inquiries. This time, the informant agreed.
The move brought to an end the career of one of the C.I.A.’s most important sources. It also effectively blinded American intelligence officials to the view from inside Russia as they sought clues about Kremlin interference in the 2018 midterm elections and next year’s presidential contest.
What the hell is going on in this country?
The Moscow informant was instrumental to the C.I.A.’s most explosive conclusion about Russia’s interference campaign: that President Vladimir V. Putin ordered and orchestrated it himself. As the American government’s best insight into the thinking of and orders from Mr. Putin, the source was also key to the C.I.A.’s assessment that he affirmatively favored Donald J. Trump’s election and personally ordered the hacking of the Democratic National Committee.
The informant, according to people familiar with the matter, was outside of Mr. Putin’s inner circle, but saw him regularly and had access to high-level Kremlin decision-making — easily making the source one of the agency’s most valuable assets.
Fake news
Trump Is Not Well
Peter Wehner: “Donald Trump’s disordered personality—his unhealthy patterns of thinking, functioning, and behaving—has become the defining characteristic of his presidency. It manifests itself in multiple ways: his extreme narcissism; his addiction to lying about things large and small, including his finances and bullying and silencing those who could expose them; his detachment from reality, including denying things he said even when there is video evidence to the contrary; his affinity for conspiracy theories; his demand for total loyalty from others while showing none to others; and his self-aggrandizement and petty cheating.
“It manifests itself in Trump’s impulsiveness and vindictiveness; his craving for adulation; his misogyny, predatory sexual behavior, and sexualization of his daughters; his open admiration for brutal dictators; his remorselessness; and his lack of empathy and sympathy, including attacking a family whose son died while fighting for this country, mocking a reporter with a disability, and ridiculing a former POW.”
More TDS
What the hell is going on in this country?"
Ask Biden/Obama , it happened on their watch
What the hell is going on in this country?
it looks like the NY Times is trying to get someone killed, alky.
and it also looks like their TDS is as bad as yours.
the only thing missing from that fable was maggie habertwat.
So the CIA burned their own asset by leaking to the media.
Maybe the question should be, what the hell is wrong with the CIA.
And as KD said it's a question that should be asked of Biden. But no reporter or debate moderator would have the guts to ask it.
James is shilling for Godard again.
The informant, according to people familiar with the matter...
so tell me again why i should believe this?
and isn't the timing curious? on the eve of fat nadler's impeachment push out comes an uncorroborated story from the NY Times shrieking "RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!!!11!"
it's entirely possible the CIA burned no one. the NY Times ginned this up to carry water for fat jerry, their hometown clown.
geezus alky, you'll fall for anything.

And there we go:
CNN: Top CIA spy in Russia extracted after Trump's May 2017 meeting with Lavrov.
NYT: in actual fact, CIA asked him to leave in late 2016, and he relented in the spring of 2017 b/c of "more media inquiries".

CNN/MSNBC corrected yet ? or roger ? FAKE NEWS can't even agree
