Trump's first conundrum on immigration

The Donald has turned his attention to immigration

  • Is expected to cut refugee cap by 50% for FY2017 (down to 50k)

  • Expected to call for suspension of immigrant and non-immigrant enrty to US from countries of concern

  • Expected to call for end of sanctuary cities and demand local law enforcement cooperation with Federal immigration authorities

  • Will seek aggressive enforcement against all illegal immigrants living inside the US and away from the border

  • Wants to triple number of immigration agents and operations

  • Expected to call for an increase of 5000 US customs and border protection agents

Q. Does anybody spot the flaw in his plan?

A. He just signed an executive order freezing Federal hiring, so how is he going to employ those extra border staff?

Looks like the boy scouts and girl guides could be getting drafted ;-)
