DanLamothe twitterde op maandag 14-01-2019 om 23:45:07 Migrant intercepts off the coast of California, according to the U.S. Coast Guard:FY 2016: 142FY 2017: 213FY 2018: 1,022https://t.co/ITnzWWwzzy reageer retweet

The U.S. Coast Guard saw a nearly fivefold increase in the number of migrants it intercepted off the coast of southern California in 2018, underscoring the challenge that will remain in stopping illegal migration even if President Trump secures funding for his southern border wall.

The numbers, released to The Washington Post in recent days, show the service intercepted 1,022 migrants at sea there in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. That was up from 213 in 2017 and 142 in 2016.

Nationwide, the number of migrant intercepts at sea dropped from 2,512 in 2017 to 1,668 in 2018, indicating a shift in which more migrants are now intercepted off the West Coast. The majority of migrants taken into custody there come from Central and South America, while migrants caught along the East Coast are more likely to come from Haiti or other islands in the Caribbean Sea.

A Coast Guard spokesman, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Barry Lane, said that the migrants intercepted at sea in 2018 come from numerous countries in the Western Hemisphere, including Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia, Colombia and Guatemala. Others came from farther away nations that include China, Sri Lanka, India and Jordan, he said.

EliStokols twitterde op dinsdag 15-01-2019 om 00:19:00 Some farmers, hurt by Trump's tariffs, now can't get essential loans or govt. assistance due to the shutdown. But many who voted for him "have a hard time admitting they could have been wrong.” https://t.co/2Ecl3QWP3W reageer retweet

A year ago, President Trump received a hero's welcome at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s 99th annual convention in Nashville, cheered for rolling back regulations, revamping an Obama administration water rule and for being the first president to address the group in 25 years.

In New Orleans on Monday, he made good on last year's promise to return for the group's centennial meeting.

“What can I do? I like farmers,” Trump told the appreciative crowd after traveling from a snow-covered Washington that remained frozen in a partial government shutdown for a 24th day, in a funding impasse over his proposed southern border wall.

But the cheers he received, from those who waited in hourlong security lines to hear him speak inside the city's riverfront convention center, belied a more complicated relationship with America's farmers, who have largely supported him.

Most still do, though they have been hurt in recent months by the tariffs that top trading partners have slapped on U.S. farm products, in retaliation for the tariffs Trump first imposed on their country’s goods. And now, a shuttered government isn’t processing the subsidy checks that many farmers rely on.

“If there's one thing farmers need and want, it's reliability and predictability,” said Jamie Johansson, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation.

“The angst you will find is, he has not provided that in the tariff situation around trade,” Johansson said. “But when he ran, we knew exactly what we were getting.”

Trump heeft vandaag weer veel stemmen gewonnen met deze stunt.
Voor veel Amerikanen is fast food vaste prik.

De spelers (praktisch allemaal college kids) vonden het ook fijn dat ze geen Foie Gras of salades hoefde te eten.

quote:

Attorney General nominee William Barr shared a controversial memo last year with nearly all of President Donald Trump's lawyers concluding that an aspect of special counsel Robert Mueller's case could be "fatally misconceived," Barr acknowledged Monday.

Barr's 19-page memo -- which concluded that Trump's publicly reported interactions with ex-FBI Director James Comey could not constitute obstruction of justice -- was addressed to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Assistant Attorney General Steve Engel and released as a part of Barr's Senate questionnaire last month. But it was previously unclear who else had seen it.

In a letter to Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsay Graham Monday night, Barr said that he had sent it to White House special counsel Emmet Flood, Solicitor General Noel Francisco, and his former Justice Department colleague Pat Cipollone who is now White House counsel. He also discussed the issues raised in the memo with Trump lawyers Marty and Jane Raskin and Jay Sekulow. In addition he sent a copy, or had a conversation about the contents of the memo with Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Jared Kushner.
