  1. No we need to ask what our laws are . And who is not following the law. And is that causing the crisis. The Right never asks these questions.

  2. 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.

  4.  @oofballz4328  CBP website, they have apprehension numbers going back for over 50 years. The same numbers the Right have posted, except the Right will not discuss anything prior to 2020.

  5.  @shawnstephens1251 Because Trump violates US law and his supporters don't care.

  9.  @madmack9544  Goggle apprehension number for the southern border by month. CPB website will come up and you can look at numbers of border crossers by demographic and by what legal title they were apprehended under.

  10.  @madmack9544  and you guys make claims about the. Border daily that are in fact lies, you believe without ever bothering to check right wing facts. Don't think for a second you are informed enough to deny any facts when you have never verified any from the Right.

  11. 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.

  12. 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. And the Right wing base just does not understand our law.

  13.  @madmack9544  take your own advice.

  14.  @madmack9544  . By Right-wing standards in their talking a points and rhetoric of other immigrants coming to this country. Melania is an illegal immigrant. And represents the chain migration that Trump and Republicans have criticized and denounced, when her parents becoming citizens. So was Trumps Father.

  15.  @lgobi9649  You have no clue what our immigration laws are, you have never read one. Those crossing the border and requesting asylum can not be penalized for crossing the border of a safe haven country. That is US law and international treaty for over 40+ years.

  16.  @lgobi9649  §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.

  17.  @JC-sc9rx  You have never read an immigration law and you have no idea what they say. We have asylum laws that allow any immigrant to cross our borders and ask for asylum protections. Asylum seekers can not be punished for crossing the border of a safe haven country. That is US law and international treaty for over 40 years, and confirmed in federal court. Your media and leadership do nothing but lie and leave out the details and context of our laws and the process to trigger a low informed base that is willfully ignorant.

  18. North Koreans too, seems like the Right want to be more like them.

  19. And then that idiot caused this at the border and did nothing to bring businesses home.

  20. I remember that Republicans' would not fund the wall when Trump held majorities. That was the last time I remember the Right doing anything fiscally responsible. Trump even blamed Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan two weeks ago for not giving him the funding.

  21. No he easily manipulates the low informed and ignorant in the Right wing base who are clueless on most issues.

  22. Start with the ones on the Right who keep violating and undermining US immigration laws to fit their agenda.
