asylum must be requested at the FIRST border crossed... NOT the country with the best welfare systemJust like the old, original policy before Obama.
We cannot take them all, even if we wanted to. And we don't.
Interesting this lawyer blaming the US for creating the problem because we deported criminals back to their home countries. That's a hoot.
“The new policy is that the host government must be complicit in systematic persecution of a particular group”
The old (Obama) policy was that any problem, in any neighborhood, or any household, anywhere on Earth, gave people the right to come to America, claim asylum, and be eligible for public welfare benefits - at least for a few years.
Deliberate sabotage.
Fleeing gang violence to flee to gang violence. What is the difference? Either place they are faced with gang violence, but the difference is here, they are more likely to join in the gang violence.
asylum must be requested at the FIRST border crossed... NOT the country with the best welfare systemMouthing the asylum buzzwords that they have been coached to do by Coyotes and Leftist organizations, has been the free pass that illegals have used to walk right in to the USA and get right on the dole. It is why we have catch and release.
That is how the caravan that was in the news coming up through Mexico, ultimately got it in to the USA.
Closing that loophole is huge. There is not just another story they can replace for the old one - they must be from a country that is recognized to conduct Government repression of a specific group.
I don’t believe that Mexico or any country in Central America qualifies, so they would not be allowed to walk through the gates anymore. No more automatic full package of Government provided lodging, food, transportation, medical or education benefits.
They used to just walk to the border station, repeat the passphrases, drop their rucksack and put their feet up.
Now it will largely require illegal crossing, identity theft, or living off the books - a lot more skills and effort.
And Mexico has no asylum laws? Why only the US?
I have no idea how the U. S. got to be the refuge for everyone with problems over seas.
Go to the embassy. File the proper documents. Wait like everyone else.
End of story.
We have a quota, and if you can meet the numbers, then welcome. Otherwise, seek out another nation of saps willing to support you for the rest of your life. We aren’t.
EVERYONE knows these new illegal aliens are only seeking asylum because they are from sh1thole countries.
(A gang member in the town means “I’m a refugee just like Jews in Nazi Germany.” NOT!)
By international ‘law’ they are required to seek refugee status in the First country they enter which is MEXICO. Instead, they illegally continue through to the big prize, life in the United States.
Fix the gang violence instead of letting it chase you to our country. Where are you going to run to when it follows you here?
Just wonder if it would be more cost-effective to invade the Central American $hit hole countries and clean them out permanently? Leaving a bunch of dead MS-13 types might be a better solution, since we can’t kill them here.
Oh noes!
Not the dreaded
PALL!!!
Maybe these people should by guns, organize and protect themselves. Americans have fought for this country, maybe they should fight for theirs.
An honest oversight, I'm sure. The writer seems to have left out the real origin of the gang violence. The real origins were the failure of the US to enforced immigration law in the 1990s and before, resulting in many illegal youths from south of the border settling in California and learning gang culture there, and THEN being deported back to their home countries, etc., etc.
Just an honest mistake leaving out the real first step in the sequence of events.
We need to limit immigration to those that...speak English, or at least have the ability to learn.
Bonus points for having knowledge of ice fishing, hockey, and looking good in a bikini.
I think we should take care of Americans fleeing gang violence first.
Once she fled Guatemala and was sin Mexico, she had succeeded in fleeing Guatemalan gangs.
At that point she migrated to America because of quality of life.
doesnt she know that MS-13 gangs are here too. How is it safer here?
We have gang violence in this country, and it is most likely to be in areas illegals can afford to live. So they will not be getting away from gang violence by coming here.
Many of the “children” being brought here “to get away from gangs” are already involved in gangs and continue that behavior here.
Sorry, If I wasn’t there when the child was conceived I’m not going to support them. She can peddle her BS somewhere else.
We have too many poor American citizens who are living in gang-infested Democrat-run cities. We do not need to import more poor people.
Why did she “have to” come to the US? Why not Mexico? She went all the way through Mexico to get here.
Denied. Bailiff! Take her away for immediate deportation.
