@mikepryor7467 yes you are showing just how immoral an cruel the Right has become in its need to toss aside any moral compass or respect for our laws.

For what crime?

 @Curious_Skeptic every country that had allowed them to walk through to get here every country that is part of the Geneva Convention. It's called asylum .

@Curious_Skeptic you should learn our laws and the system in place and stop talking as if you think you do.

Tell me what immigration law have you read that shows a need for lethal force for a violation that is a misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty?

@taryntaryn9090 and that is a misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty and the Right us calling for lethal force. A d if they ate requesting asylum, then there is no penalty at all. These ate our laws. The Right keep lying as the the Right continues to undermine our legal enforcement of immigration laws.

§1158. Asylum (a) Authority to apply for asylum (1) In general Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien's status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

Title 42 suspends all title 8 laws and authority use to deter and penalize illegal border crossing. The Right is using it to undermine legal asylum under 8 US code 1158. It also suspends 8 US code 1325; the misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty for crossing the border illegally. And 8 US code 1326; stiffer penalties for crossing the border. That leaves out any legal penalty or deterrent for those crossing and stops legal asylum, with few exceptions under title 42. Makes it difficult to enforce immigration laws when Republicans are fighting in court to undermine our legal enforcement. With title 42 suspending enforcement that means many immigrants recross multiple times causing apprehension numbers to be inflated. The current rate of multiple returns is about 40% of border crossers.

We had a 17 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years prior to Trump and his polices. By 2019 Trumps policies doubled the number of people crossing the southern border to 977,000 a 20 year high. He only saw a reduction for the first 9 months of 2020 due to covid, before it went back to a 20 year monthly high in October of 2020. It has remained a 20 year high and increasing ever since under Trumps failed policies and Title 42....
