It's the context. It's the ignorance of the Right who don't have a clue what our immigration laws are and what is legal and illegal. He is trying to build a false narrative, that legal asylum seekers are illegal. as those are the only ones who are allowed to stay.

The Right would need to know the legal process first and you don't. The Right wants to include legal immigrants as illegal immigrants. All of you criticizing a process that none of you understand, all of you are willing to ignore our immigration laws to fit your narrative while complaining about others violating laws that carry a civil penalty. While at the same time you want to punish immigrants who are following immigration law, to deter those who are not.

@paulcolburn3855 LOL no he didn't. Trumps policies violated immigration law. We had a 17 year decline in southern border crossings to the lowest point in 50 years. Then Trump cam into office and by 2019 his policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 977,000. 2020 only saw a decrease for the first 9 months due to covid. By October of 2020 border crossings were back to a monthly 20 year high and has remained at a 20 year high ever since. Biden is following our INA laws and he is trying to remove the policies that Trump put in place that violate those INA laws, most from US code 1158. I want more funding for border patrol to do the job by the law that congress wrote, and not the policy put in place by Trump in the Rights unilateral effort to reduce unwanted LEGAL immigration.

@paulcolburn3855 Trumps idea of getting it under control was to create a zero tolerance policy that criminalized the violation of US code 1325. For the first offense of crossing the border illegally carries a civil penalty. Trump without passing a law changed that to a criminal penalty and separated children as a deterrent to others trying to cross the border. Trumps policy also included legal asylum seekers, who have a legal right to cross between check points and request asylum. This is why we are being sued for this "$450k" settlement amount that the Right was complaining about Biden giving to illegals. The Right was weaponizing children to fit their agenda. Then Trump created the remain in Mexico policy that also violates US code 1158. this causes legal asylum seekers who used a port of entry to remain on the Mexico side of the border in easy access to cartels and traffickers , another thing the Right blames Biden for. We have a process for vetting asylum seekers and no one on the left is just allowing illegals to come and stay there is a process of deportation that has to take place even when the border patrol is understaffed t doesn't mean we ignore laws in place.

@paulcolburn3855 And the laws you are pointing out have little bearing on the current discussion that's why I used the 1980 INA laws on asylum, the ones you have not read.

@paulcolburn3855 And if you are concerned with the demographics of who is crossing. The last I checked on the numbers last year, under Trump around the last 4 months of his presidency the number of single adults made up 80% of those crossing with 20 percent being unaccompanied minors and families or an adult with a child. Under Biden it went down to 60% for single adults. All single adults would not be allowed under either president under title 42 and placed in deportation process. Anything else you are concerned with?

@paulcolburn3855 your questions were irrelevant to immigration law and data on immigration. How would you feel if an administration came in and passed a policy nullifying your immigration status without passing a law?
1
@bobhoffman5581 actually it's the first country that can provide the safe haven required and we would need to have a treaty with Mexico stating they can provide that safe haven. We have one with Canada, but not Mexico.

@paulcolburn3855 I'm aware of those laws and I've actually read them. And I've seen the Rights willingness to ignore them to fit their agenda. Biden is following immigration law. I see you doing the same thing everyone on the Right does. Punish those who have a legitimate claim before they get to the border to make the claim, because all the rhetoric that has built your narrative to say they are all illegitimate. The Right wants to use one word for migrant, immigrant, refugee, and asylum seekers and that word is illegal. We had a legal system that was working and reducing illegal immigration for 17 years. That all went away 2 years after Trump took office. You want to look at the data and not talking points.
1
@L5player Yes the Right doesn't know or is willing to ignore our immigration laws to fit a false narrative, because they are dishonest people. Democrats are following immigration laws. Can you name a law that the Democrats are violating every day? Where in our laws does it say that we should invalidate all asylum request prior to coming to the border and making them due to Right wing Rhetoric. Asylum seekers are not required to use a port of entry and those who do are being turned away or forced to remain in Mexico. That also is a violation of Immigration law. Yes we do have procedures to vet them, lets use them instead of violating immigration law due to Right wing talking points.
1
Immigration laws have been the same for 50 years and until trump they had been on a 17 year decrease. Republicans don't have a clue what to do at the border other then ignore laws that were working.
1
First the Right would have to understand and know immigration law and who is illegal, the Right does not. That's been the problem.

@rogerquintanilla863 And how did the left violate that law. We have INA laws that allow for anyone to cross the border seek out a border agent and request asylum. Trump violated that law and the right wants to ignore it because they believe it's a loophole. We were in a 17 year decline in border crossings to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his policies. Within two years Trumps policies doubled that number to 977,000 in 2019. 2020 was only reduced for the first 9 months due to covid, before going back to 20 year high of border crossings in October of 2020 and it has remained high ever since.

@rogerquintanilla863 It's from the US Border Patrol website and from reading INA laws and court transcripts.
1
@JustAnotherConspiracyTheorist That's not how our laws work. That is not the purpose of how the law was setup That's how the Right justifies ignoring our laws to fit a right wing narrative. And Trump violated our laws several times to fit that narrative and then you blame the fallout on Biden, who is following the law.
1
@rogerquintanilla863 no I'm just better informed, because I've been actually doing the research for 4 years and paying attention to policy.
1
@rogerquintanilla863 Not if they are not illegal and have not broken any laws, and because you don't understand immigration law. Good thing the judge and later appellate court that overturned Trumps policy understands immigration law better than you, and so do I.
1
@rogerquintanilla863 What law is this administration breaking, second time I've asked and you've not even come close to an answer? And I'm very well informed of how the legal process works. I've actually read the law you have not.
1
Please there isn't one honest voice on the Right when it comes to explaining what's going on at the border and what the law is. The Right is either completely misinformed or complete liars.
1
And the Right has not been honest with anything they have claimed about the border in 10 years. Simple as that.

@evantienken430 We had a 17 year decline in southern border crossings to the lowest number in 50 years, prior to Trump and his policies. After his policies and by 2019, border crossings doubled to 977,000. It was only reduced for 9 months in 2020 due to covid before going back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020, where it has remained. The $450k settlement to "illegal immigrants" from Biden, is due to a Trump policy that violated US immigration law. That was from Trumps separation policy that was reversed in federal court. And they were not illegal, they were legal asylum seekers. The middle of the night flights that the Right complains about, are being done the exact way Trump was doing it in May of 2019.
1
That goes for Trump too.
1
We were at a 17 year decrease in southern border crossings to the lowest point in 50 years at the end of Obama's presidency. By 2019 Trump doubled the number of people crossing to 977,000. It only went down for the first nine months of 2020, before going back to a 20 year high in October of 2020 and it's continued to increase under those Trump policies every month.
1
So when we have a law that says an immigrant can cross at any point of the border and request asylum legally, what did you do when Trump violated US immigration law and started charging them with a crime and separated their children in violation of US code 1158. When Trump created his remain in Mexico policy that also violates US code 1158, did you criticize Trump then? The Right needs to learn first what is legal and illegal, instead of basing policies on hate.
