Lol, name an existing immigration law you have read that he Is not following.

by 2019 border crossings were at 977,000. after he created his policies in 2018 the number of border crossers doubled. 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.

@mattf2146 name an existing immigration law you have read that he Is not following. I'll wait. Go ahead and help prove how the Right is nothing but talk and no action.

And irrelevant.

@JackHaveman52 sounds about right. When did it happen? Did she have a qualifying asylum request? Where was she from, was she a Canadian citizen? What was her reason for crossing? Did she have her children separated from her when she crossed? Were the children returned or lost by the government? Refugee and asylum status are two different things with different rules and qualifications. But you are asking the Right questions and learning, that's better than most

Answer my questions and it tell you how she would be treated under each president policies and under what laws were active at the time.

@JackHaveman52 your sister if caught while trying to cross would have violated 8 usc 1325. It's a federal misdemeanor that carries a civil penalty that can result in deportation a penalty and if caught with contraband could be imprisoned for no more then 6 months for this violation. A repeat crossings would result in a violation of 8 usc 1326 with stiffer penalties. Being in the country without documentation would result in the same. Asylum falls under 8 usc 1158. It allows immigrants to cross our border and request Asylum without penalty. They are apprehended transported to a detainment center to be processed by an asylum agent. That agent determines whether they qualify to go before an immigration court, or they are deported. If they pass a creditable fear interview they are to be detained in the United States. Depending on a tors they are detained until that hearing, they can be bonded or paroled for release depending on these factors. It helps to ensure a claim is valid. Unaccompanied minors would be transferred to family services inherent sponsor or family and out of cbp hands within 72 hours and are made asylee’s. Thos violating other crimes would go to DOJ. This is what the Right calls an open border policy and catch and release. When Trump came in we were at an 11 year decline in southern border crossing to the lowest point in 50 years. And why he couldn't get congressional support from the GOP in congress for border wall funding. August of 2018 Trump created his border policies including a policy to charge everyone crossing the border between checkpoints with a crime and separating their children, regardless of a request for asylum for violating 8 usc 1325. Previously they would be detained together and processed together in family detention centers. Remain in Mexico was used on asylum seekers using a port of entry, denying their detainment of those seeking sanctuary.

@JackHaveman52 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 for most border crossers. That left out any legal penalty or deterrent for those crossing and stopped legal asylum, with few exceptions under title 42 that later made exceptionsfor unaccompaniedminors. 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.

He always answers, the Right wing base iis either to low informed to understand the answer or the question is full of false claims.

@destinymayberry6217 yeah but you are clueless of what our immigration laws are and the legal process, that is the problem. So when the GOP makes claims or ask questions riddled with lies, misinformation, and missing context to build a sound bite. You hear it and think what great question to ask that needs answering and it fits the narrative you have been fed. The rest of us just dismiss the stupid questions and listen to the facts Mayorkas provides

@lorifelts2747 he's doing the job that you have no understanding of or what the law is. You are just a puppet doing believing what ever they tell you.

Trump and Homan created a zero tolerance policy to snatch children away from their parents who were legal asylum seekers and charged those parents with a crime to deter others from coming to the border to legally request asylum. Then they lost their children. The policy was immoral and a violation of US immigration law and was reversed in federal court. It also led to the "450k" settlement talks from a year ago. Since Trump's inhumane and immoral policies began snatching children from legal asylum seekers, remian in Mexico, and title 42 the number of unaccompanied minors and other birder crossing has increased.

Mayorkas is following federal immigration laws that have been in place for over 40 years.laws the Right do not support because the Right feels they are loopholes in the law. They call these laws an open border policy and catch and release. They are long standing laws and procedures written by congress fir the executive branch to carry out. They are our asylum laws. First safe country only applies to the US and Canada in this hemisphere. Asylum has to be requested on continental US soil. Asylum seekers cannot be penalized for crossing the border of a safe haven country.

Harris was never appointed as border czar. There are no 85000 missing children and no they cannot use their drivers license to vote. The Right does nothing but lie.

@destinymayberry6217 8 usc 1158 and the rest of our INA laws, and how they were used under title 42 and Trumps policies that were in violation of US law and international treaty. I've posted more information providing more context. I am fully ready to debate this issue.
1
@destinymayberry6217 you want to start with what he did not answer in this clip, that was helping to secure our border or had evidence to specific claims, that they would have thst information on them. These are top end managers not data entry personnel.
1
@destinymayberry6217 yes title 42 was being misused by Republicans to undermine our legal asylum and at the same time suspending title 8 enforcement of penalties for other border crossers and placing them in expedited removal free to cross again without stiffer penalties and overwhelming border patrol. Trump was called phobic for freezing flights from Muslims counties. Your puppet masters conflate that to include covid restrictions. Under Biden courts removed restrictions on title 42 for unaccompanied minors and families with small children. It still denied claims for single adults with few exceptions until this last fall. Far beyond its designed function.

@destinymayberry6217 you do not support legal asylum or our immigration laws that were working before Trump, if you support the last administration.

@destinymayberry6217 "Title 42 was put in place to freeze asylum seekers in 2020 opposed by mainly Republicans Massie being one of the most vocal." conflicts with "I have no problem examining our legal immigration process or our asylum seeking process to help better them for people who want to enter legally."

@destinymayberry6217 why would they hate him if he's following the laws written by congress?
1
@destinymayberry6217 asylum was opposed by Republicans
1
@destinymayberry6217 I agree and the only thing getting in the way of proper vetting and reducing got aways is to stop undermining our laws. The Right will not do that and she will never admit to the fact that this is exactly what the Right has caused.

No one lost 80000 children stop being so easily manipulated.
