I am astounded the “they” let this shit go on. I would vote for Al Capone for President if I thought he would stop this insanity!

Simply, we just need to shut the whole border down and rethink the whole process of immigration, get rid of this asylum nonsense and then maybe start with some sort of work visa program but all the applications need to be done in their own respective countries
And they have to speak English…what a novel idea …

quote:

The United States is obliged to recognize valid claims for asylum under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. As defined by these agreements, a refugee is a person who is outside their country of nationality (or place of habitual residence if stateless) who, owing to a fear of persecution on account of a protected ground, is unable or unwilling to avail himself of the protection of the state. Protected grounds include race, nationality, religion, political opinion and membership of a particular social group. The signatories to these agreements are further obliged not to return or "refoul" refugees to countries or places where they would face persecution.

This commitment was codified and expanded by the United States Congress with the passing of the Refugee Act of 1980. Besides reiterating the definitions of the 1951 Convention and its Protocol, the Refugee Act provided for the establishment of an Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to help refugees begin their lives in the U.S. The structure and procedures evolved and by 2004, federal handling of refugee affairs was led by PRM,[24] working with the ORR at HHS. Asylum claims are mainly the responsibility of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

You know, the almost 2 million people who with premeditation evaded U.S. law enforcement agencies and are known to be in this country illegally.

Folks who likely would have been caught, detained, and deported had it not been for the fact that Border Patrol agents who would have been patrolling the border are now babysitting, pushing paper, and making sandwiches for the hoardes of military age males from over 150 countries.

I've asked before.

Do you honestly believe the DHS can smoke out the bad ones, amongst millions and millions,
in 72 hours or less?

And while we're at it, how would you prioritize the two?

Which holds the greatest concern?

The known got aways, or the folks waiting patiently in lockup for 72 hours or less?

Now, let's address the unknown got aways...
