@autumnryn That's just not even close to being true.

Yes the Trump administration and Republicans needs to be held accountable for ignoring and undermining our immigration laws that the Right wing base is clueless of and have never read, because that is what caused this crisis.

@autumnryn Title 42 suspended title 8 laws and authority use to deter and penalize illegal border crossing. The Right was using it to undermine legal asylum under 8 US code 1158. It also suspended 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 after deportation That left out any legal penalty or deterrent for those crossing and stopped 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 many immigrants re-crossed multiple times causing apprehension numbers to be inflated. The current rate of multiple returns was about 40% of border crossers. We had a 11 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. 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.

@autumnryn Due to false claims of voter fraud, asylee’s not showing up for court, criminal activity, and just right wing claims used to breed hate. The Right has unilaterally decided to undermine legal asylum. And have dubbed it as an open border policy and fed that buzz word to a right wing base who have no understanding of immigration laws. Trumps zero tolerance policy to separate children, Remain in Mexico, Title 42. All attempts to stop legal asylum under US laws that have been in place for over 40 years. Yet now using it to trigger a base that is now openly full of hate on immigrants and this hate is now fed by GOP governors feeding off of that for votes from GOP supporters who immoral views support separating children as a deterrent, use of lethal force, lying to immigrants to ship them to dem cities to stick it to libs, incarceration, placing them in the hands of traffickers. All because of immigrants who may or may not have violated a misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty.

What has the left done other than following existing laws that are humane and were working before Trump and Republicans policies started unilaterally undermining our immigration laws.

@autumnryn Are you ok with snatching children away from legal asylum seekers? Causing more children to be sent unaccompanied. Are you ok with leaving them in the hand s of cartels trafficker and other crimes by forcing asylum seekers to remain in Mexico. Border crossing increased after republicans hard line immigration policies that were in violation of US law, were used to unilaterally undermine our legal immigration process. Title 42 cut off asylum for everyone with the exception of unaccompanied minors that were coming in record numbers due to Trumps policies.
