You guys are so ignorant. Biden is following the law. Trumps policies were in violation of US law and international treaty that was created at the UN. Trump created this and it started about 6 months ago.

@timothyvankleeck2452 our 1980 INA immigration laws were written in an effort to bring those UN treaties into compliance with US courts. Biden is following those law and that treaty agreement. Trump was not. Is that more simple for you to understand?

@29PalmsPublish follow the laws written by Congress that cut southern border apprehensions in half before Trump took office and were working. And do exactly what Biden is doing, but with a little more transparency and an effort to educate the American people what our laws and options are, that are within those laws. The opposite of what Ted is doing.

@29PalmsPublish first we have to correct Trumps mess. Then the Right needs to get a clue what's going on instead of the fake outrage.

Your list was better than mine.

@russellbuxton737 Because Trumps separation policy violated US code 1158 of the 1980 INA immigration laws and article 31 of the 1968 ratified Geneva Convention. A federal Judge stopped that policy against asylum seekers and Trump later removed it on all families crossing between check points. That law says that asylum seekers can cross between check points and seek out a border agent and request asylum without penalty for crossing the border. We also have laws requiring us to take unaccompanied minors. Those are the only two groups allowed legal access to our borders. The rest who do not qualify are put in deportation proceeding, BUT Mexico recently passed a law not allowing the US to deport non Mexican citizens back into Mexico. So anyone illegally crossing and are detained. We have to hold onto until we can find a way to return them to their country of origin. Are you getting the big picture yet? I read somewhere that Biden has reduced that to only asylum seeker in family units that have children 6 and younger the rest are no longer being admitted. Trumps wait in Mexico policy for asylum seekers that used a port of entry is also in violation of the INA laws and international treaty. They are supposed to remain in country once the process starts, and that's a why they are crossing the border illegally. Because they have a better chance of winning their asylum case on US soil. That policy was also challenged and lost in court and in the appeals court. The appeals court put a stay on the order, because of the virus and Title 42. Title 42 was the only legal thing that helped Trump reduce immigration last year and it's the only thing Biden can use to circumvent those asylum laws. Trump was violating asylum laws prior to covid. We've had a 17 year decline in southern border crossing. In 2007 we we're around 800,000 apprehensions per year and cut that in have in 10 years to the lowest it's been in 50 years, prior to Trumps policies. Those Trump policies saw use return to 977,000 apprehensions in 2019, it had not been that high in 20 years. Then we had covid and stopped immigration. Then in September of 2020 we were at 58,000 for the month, by October that number was 72,000. That was the beginning of this surge. Apprehensions continued to increase to 78,000, by January. Those period of months are typically over the past decade low immigration months, February is not. And there is usually an uptick this time of year.

Lol please do that will be funny to watch. You guys have no clue what the law is.

Ted is a liar.

Three decision. The wall has nothing to due with This issue created under Trump. Catch and release is the law and was never stopped. Trumps remain in Mexico was a violation if the 1980 INA law. Federal courts already ruled against it. Where were you Ted when Trump had 100000 for a 4 month period in 2019. No his policies were not working and this started about 6 months ago. Ted is a liar.
1
Um no. The issue with Trumps policies were before covid. The use of title 42 was the only policy Trump got write on immigration, and Biden is still using it so there goes your open border BS claim.

Like it did on Trump in 2019 when he had 977000 in one year after having over 100000 entering for several months.

@whatistruth1155 Yep trolling with facts for those who have none of them.

@chiefadam605 did I say that, no I did not.

Debby Downer I know what asylum is and I know the process. And no one is getting in to just get a better job. Try listening to what I'm saying instead of assuming. I heard you make that comment before, try looking up the qualification instead of guessing.
1
Debby Downer not if that country can not provide the safe haven necessary and have a treaty stating they can fulfil those International treaty protections on asylum seekers. That is why a Trump appointed judge ruled against the use of the policy when Trump tried to use it. Stop taking immigration facts from your media and do some independent research.

Debby Downer because it's the law.

@cathyarone8684 What would hew do there? What would be the point? Do you have an understanding of the logistics and security of a Presidential visit. It's not like he's going there to be looking at wall designs that can be viewed from photographs. Then there is also the covid restrictions that makes any travel difficult. You can use some critical thinking I believe in you.

@jeffenglishsetter8339 There are a lot of comments in here and many by me so can you be specific on the question? Immigration laws Trump violated, or immigration law in general?
1
@paulswank4547 lol. I bet you real money you have no idea what our immigration laws are and what's happening at the border, because not one of you I've spoke to in the last year has a clue about immigration laws or how Trump was violating them and the fact that Biden is following the law. Mist of you don't know the difference between an asylee, refugee, migrant, or immigrants. You guys think they are all illegal.

@welshwitch2126 he's not stating facts, he's lying about everything and is trying to show some fake outrage and fake concern to fool those on the Right who are clueless about immigration law and facts.
