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, as they feel it’s a loophole in the law. 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 of legal asylum seekers, Remain in Mexico to deny asylum protections inside the US, and Title 42 to stop all legal asylum at the border under title 8 authority (with some exceptions after Biden took office). All attempts to stop legal asylum under US laws that have been in place for over 40 years (title 8 USC 1158). 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 from parents as a deterrent, use of lethal force, lying to immigrants to ship them to dem cities to stick it to libs, incarceration, and 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. Trumps immoral policies were violating US law by snatching children from legal asylum seeks as a deterrent. Courts overturned that policy that the Right still supports and defends. Harris was never appointed as border czar, by Biden. There are no 85000 missing children, and no these immigrants cannot use their driver’s license to vote. The Right does nothing but lie.

There is no program in the state of California giving free homes, or cash to buy them, to immigrants in the state illegally.
Claims to the contrary originate from a misinterpretation of a bill that passed the state legislature but was vetoed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Assembly Bill 1840 would have modified an existing state program called California Dream for All.
This program allows certain Californians to apply for a lottery, the winners of which would receive a loan from the state to go toward a down payment and closing costs on a home. The loan can be worth up to 20 percent of the home’s value, capped at $150,000.
Recipients pay back the loan when they eventually sell the house. Interest is 20 percent of the home’s increase in value.
To be eligible for the lottery under the current law, applicants must meet all federal loan requirements, which include verifying legal residency and taxpayer status. In addition, they have to be first-time home buyers, first-generation home buyers, and fall under a certain income cap that varies by county.
According to the agency that administers the program, the California Finance Housing Agency, California Dream for All helped 2,182 people buy homes in its first year.
Assembly Bill 1840 proposed to make it so otherwise eligible applicants “shall not be disqualified by the agency solely based on the applicant’s immigration status.” In other words, even if they are in the country illegally, they would be eligible to participate in the lottery for one of these loans.
But the bill did not remove any of the other requirements to be eligible for a loan, such as having a Social Security or taxpayer ID number.
In his veto of the bill, Newsom said “Given the finite funding available for CalHFA programs, expanding program eligibility must be carefully considered within the broader context of the annual state budget to ensure we manage our resources effectively.”

@gails8950 It's funny how some only read the part that fits the narrative they want.
And so, this increase has been consequential, but the Vice President has agreed — among the multiple other things that I have her leading — and I appreciate it — agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept re- — the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders.
We’re already talking with Mexico about that; she’s already done that. We’re going to be dealing with a full team now that we have to be able to deal with the problem here at home, but also to deal with it now in terms of in country.
And I can think of nobody who — who is better qualified to do this than a former — this is a woman who ran the second-largest attorney general’s office in America — after the U.S. — after the United States Attorney General — in the state of California, and has done a great deal upholding human rights, but also fighting organized crime in the process.
So it’s not her full responsibility and job, but she’s leading the effort because I think the best thing to do is to put someone who, when he or she speaks, they don’t have to wonder about is that where the President is. When she speaks, she speaks for me. Doesn’t have to check with me. She knows what she’s doing, and I hope we can move this along.
But — so, Madam Vice President, thank you. I gave you a tough job, and you’re smiling, but there’s no one better capable of trying to organize this for us.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you, Mr. President and for having the confidence in me. And there’s no question that this is a challenging situation. As the President has said, there are many factors that lead precedent to leave these countries. And while we are clear that people should not come to the border now, we also understand that we will enforce the law and that we also — because we can chew gum and walk at the same time — must address the root causes that — that cause people to make the trek, as the President has described, to come here.
And I look forward to engaging in diplomacy with government, with private sector, with civil society, and — and the leaders of each in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to strengthen democracy and the rule of law, and ensure shared prosperity in the region.
We will collaborate with Mexico and other countries throughout the Western hemisphere. And as part of this effort, we expect that we will have collaborative relationships to accomplish the goals the President has and that we share.

@bobbylacy2374 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.
Title 42 suspended title 8 laws and authority used 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.
Remain in Mexico was still in place last year and it was doing nothing to secure the border. Catch and release was never stopped by Trump and was not reinstated by anyone, it is title 8 USC 1225 of our INA laws that have been in place for 40 years.
Harris is not border czar she has never been she is not in charge of immigration laws or immigration policy.
The Right has talked about removing or reducing our safety net for decades. To claim you want to lower the amount of tax dollars on immigrates to use them on US citizens is just not true.
The Senate border bill was the most restrictive bill and had everything the GOP wanted. HR2 did nothing to change the law.
There was not one thing he said that was honest or truthful.
He's claiming that the white house needs to and should use executive action to ignore our immigration laws instead of saying congress needing to act to change the law.
He's trying to equate separating children from those committing crimes to Trumps policy of snatching children form legal asylum seekers.
